In an order issued last Feb. 3, Dizon instituted the Guidelines and Procedures for the Preparation and Standardization of the Detailed Unit Price Analysis in line with his push to get the DPWH “to implement right projects at the right cost” and to uphold consistency, transparency, and accountability in cost estimation of DPWH infrastructure projects.
