Electronic Construction Management Tool (ECMT)

As part of the initiative to use the most up-to-date technology for the Expressway
Programme, Ashghal and the Programme Management Consultant (PMC) intend to
implement an Electronic Construction Management Tool (ECMT). This system will
facilitate capture of required information at source locations and enable all
Programme participants to have online access, based on their access rights, to
undertake the following tasks:
Dashboard status reporting

Online completion, responses and tracking of Technical Queries, Requests for
Inspection, Inspection Reports and Test Reports, all with signatures, as required
Viewing Inspection & Testing Plans
Uploading, marking up and attaching photographs to Technical Queries
Interrogating online information via reporting and data exports
All Supervision Consultants and Construction Contractors, as well as their

subcontractors, will be required to enter identified information specified by both
Ashghal and the PMC into this online management system.
Information will be able to be entered online or offline and then synchronised into the
system using desktop or laptop PCs or field-based tablet PCs. This includes the
online storage of scanned signatures and password for insertion of signatures in the
designated report areas based on pre-determined management rules. Online, fieldbased data capture is performed via laptops or tablets with mobile internet
connections.
The online system will be made available to the Supervision Consultants, and input
devices (tablets) will be made available by the Supervision Consultants. A
Provisional Amount of QR 550,000 for the purchase of all required software and
licences necessary to enable the ECMT system has been included in the Contract
Price. All tablets and broadband connection for the Contractors field team shall be
provided and supported as part of the Contractors tender price. In addition, if
desired for use with the ECMT, desktop and/or laptop computers will need to be
provided and supported by the Contractor in accordance with the minimum
specifications provided below.

Contract and the Contractor shall allow for this as necessary. Prohibition of any
traffic movement, including those shown cut off in the traffic diversion drawings shall
be to the approval of the Engineer. Cut off traffic movements shall be properly
compensated by installing alternative traffic diversion routes.
