📋 Tender Overview
- S/ 3 million project advances without the presence of specialists to guarantee the quality of the workArequipa. - The Comptroller General of the Republic alerted the Autonomous Authority of Majes (Autodema), executing unit of the Regional Government of Arequipa (GRA), about delays in the maintenance work of the Antasalla intake, located in the district of San Antonio de Chuca, province of Caylloma. This infrastructure diverts flows to the Colca River and the Zamacola canal, which supply water to the Majes irrigation system and the city of Arequipa.
On September 30, 2025, Autodema approved the technical sheet for the maintenance of the vulnerable area of the Antasalla intake, with a budget of S/ 3,344,332, under direct administration. The execution period is 75 calendar days, starting on October 28 and ending on December 31, 2025.
According to Concurrent Control Report No. 036-2025-OCI/0617-SCC, which evaluated the period from November 14 to 28, 2025, as of November 18, a progress of 7% was recorded, despite the fact that what was programmed was around 40%. The limitations that affect the work would be mainly logistical, such as the lack of materials and electricity supply.
The report also warns that the maintenance is carried out without the presence of the inspector or the technical manager, which compromises the control of the progress, completion and quality of the work, as there is no corresponding technical direction. Likewise, the movements of materials, tools, machinery and equipment are not recorded in the occurrence notebook.
Another identified risk indicates that the vehicular access bridge used to transport materials and machinery to the intervention area presents structural problems due to the displacement of its pillars, caused by the erosion of the flow of the Pane Sumbay canal.
This infrastructure is essential for the transit of high-tonnage equipment and vehicles, such as mixers and trailers intended for the transportation of steel and ready-mixed concrete, as well as for the circulation of the areas inhabitants.
The Institutional Control Body (OCI) of Autodema communicated the report to the executive manager of the entity so that the pertinent preventive and corrective actions can be adopted. The complete document is available on the institutional portal of the Comptrollers Office: (www.gob.pe/contraloria).
