NAVAL, Biliran –
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Biliran District
Engineering Office (DEO) has accomplished 79.05% accomplishment of
its 2019 Infrastructure Projects as the year ends.
As of December 31, 2019,
the district office completes 66 projects with remaining 23 projects
on-going and three Not-Yet-Started (NYS) projects incurring negative
9.14% slippage.
According to David P.
Adongay Jr., District Engineer, the district office is still
on-going in the implementation of road widening project, bridge
construction, construction of bypass road and other big-ticket
projects, hence the low accomplishment of the district office.
To address the said delay,
contractors sustaining negative slippages of their projects were
obliged to provide a notarized letter of their commitment to
complete the projects within its extended duration. This has been
tackled during the district’s coordination meeting with the
contractors on January 14, 2020.
Adongay advised
contractors to exert effort to fast-track its remaining 2019
projects so that they can fully focus in the implementation of their
2020 projects.
“This must be given
importance for us to have a smooth and successful implementation of
our projects, improve our performance and achieve the goal and
objectives of this department,” emphasized Adongay.
Under the 2019
implementation, DPWH-Biliran DEO is tasked to implement a total of
92 projects with a total allocation amount of P1.28B.
