📋 Tender Overview
The balance of the technical file of the first stage is being developed, which includes eight deliverablesThe Provincial Municipality of Coronel Portillo, in coordination with the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS), promotes the Pucallpa Comprehensive Water and Drainage Project, a work of vital importance for the districts of this jurisdiction.
Diego Lopez, coordinator of the Comprehensive Project, recalled that in 2023 the budget allocated to the work was at risk of being transferred to another region. However, the current municipal management managed to identify the problem that had paralyzed the project and made timely decisions to reactivate it.
One of the main obstacles was that more than 20 plots of land planned for the work were invaded. After a process of socialization and coordination with the Ministry of Housing, the voluntary withdrawal of the occupants was achieved, allowing progress to be made with the free availability of 33 properties corresponding to the First Stage.
Currently, the company UG21 is developing the balance of the technical file of the first stage, which includes eight deliverables required by the Ministry of Housing. According to Lopez, they are already in the second deliverable and the commitment to complete the process in October, without delays, remains.
Social component and citizen participation
The UG21 social team, represented by Miguel Luis Monteverde and Guillermo Ventura, has been holding informative meetings in human settlements and urban developments to explain the objectives, scope and benefits of the project.
This component includes training in health education, proper use of water and sewage services, payment culture, and prevention of water-related diseases. The objective is to guarantee the active participation of neighborhood leaders, authorities and institutions, strengthening the sustainability of the service.
In the technical component, surveyor Emerson Vallejos Arroyo reported that photogrammetry and survey work with a LIDAR system is currently being carried out, fundamental for the precision of the project design.
Second Stage: management before Congress
Regarding the Second Stage, it was reported that the financing currently has a budgetary lock in Congress that prevents its execution. Mayor Janet Castagne maintains constant coordination with the vice-ministerial office of Housing and a technical proposal is being prepared that will be sent to Congress to make the approval of the investment feasible.
Likewise, progress is being made in the expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). In conjunction with the Directorate of Agriculture, work is being done on the definition of the new traverse established by a report from the Ministry of Housing. At the next meeting the status of the process and the deadlines for the start of works will be evaluated.
The Municipality reaffirms its commitment to continue managing and articulating efforts to guarantee access to quality basic services, promoting the development and well-being of the population of Coronel Portillo.
