Examples of SCL Project in a sentence
In accordance with the terms of SCL EA3, the HKSAR Government issued its paper on 18 March 2020 to seek the approval of Legislative Council for additional funding required for the SCL Project amounting to HK$10,801 million (“Additional Funding”) so that the SCL can be completed.
On 12 June 2020, the Legislative Council approved the Additional Funding for the SCL Project.
Therefore, the cost to the Company of continuing to comply with its project management obligations under the SCL EA3 is currently being met by the Company on an interim and without prejudice basis (to allow the SCL Project to progress in accordance with the latest programme) and the Company reserves its position as to the ultimate liability for such costs and as to its right to pursue the courses of action and remedies available under the SCL EA3.
As a result, no additional provision other than as stated above has been made as the Company is currently not able to measure with sufficient reliability the ultimate amount of the Company’s obligation or liability arising from the SCL Project as a whole in light of the significant uncertainties involved.
However, the Government has advised the Company that: the Government considers there has been no material modification in respect of the SCL Project and, therefore, the Government disagrees to the inclusion of any Additional PMC in the CTC.
Despite the fact that this matter needs to be resolved, the Company will, in the interim, continue to comply with its project management obligations under the SCL EA3 and meet the costs thereof, to allow the SCL Project to progress in accordance with the latest programme.
The 2017 CTC Estimate represented an increase to the CTC of HK$16,501 million, including an increase in the SCL Project Management Fee payable to the Company.
Regular updates have been provided to, and discussions have been held with, the Government on the delays to the programme for the delivery of the SCL Project and the associated impacts on the CTC including the Additional PMC.
As stated in paragraph (b)(i) above and as previously disclosed by the Company, the programme for the delivery of the SCL Project has been significantly impacted by certain key external events, including the discovery of archaeological relics in the Xxxx Xxxx Toi Station area, requests for additional scope and the late or incomplete handover by third parties of construction sites to the Company.
As mentioned above, the Company is responsible for carrying out or procuring the execution of the works specified in the existing entrustment agreements relating to the SCL Project and the Government, as the owner of the SCL, is responsible for bearing and financing the full amount of the total cost of such activities and for paying to the Company the Original PMC of HK$7,893 million in accordance with an agreed payment schedule.
