Contractors hesitant to sign a commitment

Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival admitted that most public works contractors are hesitant to sign a commitment of undertaking, fearing they might not be able to complete their projects within the contracted timeline.

Archival said requiring all Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) contractors to sign an undertaking with the city government remains a challenge. In fact, only one contractor has submitted a commitment so far.

Despite his call for the voluntary submission of the undertaking for several weeks now since the DPWH projects came into question, Archival said only KIMWA Construction and Development Corporation—the contractor behind the road project near Marco Polo—has complied.

“But all the others, mura’g makuyawan pa sila mo-promise nga i-deliver nila nga di sila ka deliver,” said Archival.
