No Components Table Name Component 1: Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Modernization:(Cost $11.71 M) Component 2: Water Resources Protection and Management:(Cost $3.27 M) Component 3: Project Management, Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $1.90 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The implementation of the project has seen significant delays, with only 39% of funds disbursed due to a host of reasons including the COVID-19 pandemic, contractor's non-performance and weather conditions. The implementation delays were initially mainly due to the impact of COVID - 19 pandemic and slow commencement of works by the Contractor. Given the very slow pace of the rehabilitation works in the canal, the Client decided to terminate the contract for the rehabilitation of works on July 5th of this year. Right now the Client has drafted the Bidding documents for the remaining works in the canal. The management of Iber Lepenci Company needs to make a decision between the two options: - to tender for all the remaining works in the canal (app. 11,4 Million euros) and commit that Iber Lepenci Company shall cover the balance since the project budget has an app. 10 million unspent. - to tender only most priority repair works with the available project budget (app. 10 million euros). 12/21/2022 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Kosovo Water Security and Canal Protection Project (P133829) The decision is expected by December 20th, as the Company was without Senior Management for a few months and the recently elected CEO has committed to having this decision made within two weeks, since his meeting with the Bank team. On the SCADA system implementation the contractor has implemented more than 99% of the planned activities and they plan to complete the handover of the system to the client for operation by end of the project date.
