Ouano finalizing gov't center work stoppage

“Mag-finalize pa ‘ko nga stoppage na g’yud ani’ng construction sa WT until ma-comply ang needed nga additional design and plans nga gipangayo sa City Engineering,” said the mayor.

- 

On August 19, the City Engineering Office recommended a two-week suspension of the contractor citing that, under standard building procedures, contractors are required to submit a Detailed Engineering Design and Estimates (DEDE) within four months of receiving the notice to proceed.

For the government center project, the notice to proceed was issued on September 27 last year, which meant the design and estimates should have been submitted by January this year.

However, WTC Inc. was reported to have yet to complete the required submissions. “Supposedly, January this year, unya unsa naman taw’ng buwana ‘ron,” the mayor said.

Mayor Ouano shared that, when city engineers informed him on August 19 about the deficiency, he granted the contractor an additional week to comply.
