COA affirms 12.7-M disallowance on Davao City road project
Manila Bulletin
|October 31, 2025
The Commission on Audit (COA) has denied the petition of the Department of Public Works and Highways-Davao City District Engineering Office (DPWH-DCDEO) and affirmed its notice of disallowance (ND) on an "overpriced yet substandard" P12.7-million road rehabilitation project in 2010.
The DPWH-DCDEO contracted E. Gardiola Construction (EGC) for the "Rehabilitation/Improvement along Junction C.P. Garcia-Junction Magtuod Road, with Exception, Davao City" for P12,708,408.92.
The project was supposed to be completed within 90 calendar days but was done within 28 calendar days. As a result, EGC was paid P18,074,731.73 on April 30, 2010.
When the project was inspected by the COA Special Audit Team, it was discovered that the contract cost was 193.39 percent higher than its estimated cost of P6,571,464.75. The contract price was considered excessively high by P12,708,408.92.
