📋 Tender Overview
- Projects are not executed within the deadlines nor do they provide services, warns the Comptrollers OfficeThe Freedom. - Within the framework of the Multidisciplinary Territorial Control Operation, the Comptroller General of the Republic showed that the work Improvement and expansion of public tourist services on the Malecon Grau (Pacasmayo) remains behind schedule and without an immediate completion date. This situation is due to the lack of solutions for the relocation of public lighting poles and telecommunications networks that interfere with their execution.
The project, whose budget exceeds S/ 20 million, began on October 3, 2024 and had a completion date of November 26, 2025. However, due to three suspensions and two deadline extensions, the contractual term has been rescheduled until January 3, 2027. The last extension, which extended the deadline by 274 days, responds to the non-release of interferences in the first section of the work.
It is specified that the public lighting poles located on the boardwalk - in the entrance plaza and the pedestrian promenade - are used by companies providing telecommunications services for laying cables. These companies oppose their relocation, which prevents the start of the necessary demolitions and excavations in the existing infrastructure for the construction of the planned retaining walls.
During the inspection of the work, which remained suspended until March 23, it was also evident that the Executing Unit for Investment in Foreign Trade and Tourism has not been ensuring the proper execution of the works in accordance with the required quality conditions. In this sense, technical-constructive deficiencies were identified that could affect the resistance, durability and operability of the infrastructure.
On the other hand, the Comptrollers Office showed that the inaction of the current management of the District Municipality of Razuri has been making it impossible to put into operation the new land terminal in Puerto de Malabrigo. Although the work was completed at the end of 2025 in its infrastructure component, its implementation with furniture has not been executed, because the entity is still pending the preparation of the technical file corresponding to this stage.
As a consequence, the infrastructure - which required a public investment of S/ 7.5 million - is inoperative and without maintenance. The presence of corrosion has been verified in the entrance gates to the circulation yard; Furthermore, due to the lack of security, some windows have broken glass due to acts of vandalism, while the metal grates for the evacuation of rainwater and cleaning vehicles have been stolen.
Likewise, the lack of actions by the municipal management to put the land terminal into operation has caused public transport vehicles, both for local passengers and tourists, to occupy public spaces, using them as informal boarding and disembarking areas.
