📋 Tender Overview
- Control commissions supervise hydraulic works in Ilabaya, Candarave and Cairani that total more than S/ 145 million investmentTacna.- Within the framework of the National Multisector Territorial Control Operation, which takes place from April 20 to 24 throughout the country, the Regional Control Management of Tacna began the supervision of emblematic works located in the Andean provinces of the region to guarantee the correct use of public resources.
We come to carry out operations at the national level to see infrastructure works, health, education, citizen security and also road issues. In the Comptrollers Office we guarantee the good use of resources, we supervise all public entities with the aim that the services and works reach all Peruvians, said Comptroller General Cesar Aguilar Surichaqui, who leads the national intervention from Junin.
For his part, the spokesperson for the Comptrollers Office, Edmundo Guardia Yzaguirre, arrived in Tacna to lead these inspection days, starting activities in the district of Ilabaya, province of Jorge Basadre.
The official delegation inspected the work Installation of a regulation system in the sub-basin of the Higuerani River, a strategic project for regional irrigation infrastructure with a contractual investment of S/ 134,238,202.3, which contemplates the construction of a dam that will store more than 2 million cubic meters of water.
During the control visit, it was identified that the work on the project, carried out by the District Municipality of Ilabaya under the contract modality, is in the process of entering the so-called critical route, where the construction of the physical body of the dam must begin. However, it is noted that to date the entity does not have permission from the National Water Authority (ANA), which could affect its execution.
The main risk is that without these permits it will be affected in its critical path. Our objective is to prevent the work from being paralyzed. A stoppage at this point would imply higher costs for the State due to higher general expenses, delays and defaults generated by the entity, said Edmundo Guardia during the inspection.
It should be noted that the work has a physical progress of 17.3%, and a 42.3% financial progress.
Candarave Canal
The control commissions also visited the main works of the Candarave province, such as the Improvement of the Water Supply System for Irrigation in the Machapaya main canal of the Talaca Irrigation Committee of the Candarave district, valued at S/ 2,470, 414.20.
Construction defects were found at the site, such as water leaks through the concrete of the canal, which have been inadequately covered with stones. Likewise, to carry out the work, some irrigation systems were cut off and were not returned to normal when the work was completed. The cost of the work was paid 100% by the Provincial Municipality of Candarave and supervision did not notice deficiencies in a timely manner.
As the Comptrollers Office we have arrived at an opportune time, because there is still no work reception committee, there is no settlement, there must be a guarantee letter that guarantees any damage. We believe that we have arrived in a timely manner so that these deficiencies are corrected, Edmundo Guardia concluded.
