📋 Tender Overview
- Work will demand investment of more than S/ 24 541 million and benefit almost 20 million peopleThe Comptroller General of the Republic alerted the Special National Transport Infrastructure Project (NATIONAL PROVIES) that there are delays in the conduct of geotechnics studies and different dates of culmination of the new central road project, which can affect the timely culmination of the respective definitive engineering study (EDI), as well as the beginning of the physical works of this important work that will allow access to the port of Chancay, connecting to the center of the country Metropolitan.
The New Central Highway Project takes place within the framework of a State to State Contract for the provision of the Technical Assistance Service, signed between the governments of Peru and France. It has an extension of 183.6 kilometers, which run through the districts of ATE and Cieneguilla in Metropolitan Lima; Antioquia, Santo Domingo de Olleros, Cuenca, Langa, Huarochiri and San Mateo in the province of Huarochiri, and Yauli in Junin.
With this megaproject it is planned to benefit, during the project horizon, to 19 911 649 people and its updated cost, as of May 30, 2025, it is S/ 24 541 611 770.63. The project also includes the construction of three viaducts crossing Lurin, the jars and yuracmayo that are of high complexity due to their location and/or technical characteristics, as well as a total of 20 tunnels, of which nine have a length of more than 1000 meters.
In the Control Milesto Report No. 4559-2025-CG/MPROY-SCC, whose evaluation period was from May 9 to 30, 2025, limitations are alerted to the monitoring and monitoring of phase 2-Definitive Engineering Study (EDI) of the project, which leads to the fact that four geotechnical research programs are with defeated contractual term and present delays that range from 30 to 30 157 calendar days.
The delays in the execution of the detailed works in the Geotechnical Research Programs, linked to diamond perforations with in situ, calicatas, electrical tomography and geological lifting, prevents that there are key information on the geomechanical conditions of the soil of sections 1 to 9 of the project.
This information is essential to support the engineering of the different projected structures (bridges, tunnels, viaducts, walls, among others), which had to be contained in the deliverable final technical file to June 18 of this year. It should be noted that, according to Addendum No. 11 of the State to State, the geotechnics campaign of phase 2 of the project is scheduled to complete July 13 of this year.
Given this fact, it corresponds to Nacional Provias, with the technical assistance of the contractor, monitor and monitor the geotechnical research programs, in order to ensure compliance and evaluate the application of penalties indicated in the respective service orders. Likewise, it is necessary to establish clear strategies to culminate with the execution of the aforementioned programs and finish the EDI, in order to start the physical execution of the New Central Highway Project in a timely manner.
Dates do not match
The Comptrollers report also evidenced that Provias Nacional gave compliance to the Deliverable 5.16 called Report of Conformity of Work Packages of the Project Management Office (PMO) that considers a period of culmination of the project in December 2035. However, the deliverable 8.8 called Final file of the Profile Study, which supported the declaration of viability of the project, estimated that the work would culminate in The year 2031 and that year would begin its operation.
This situation generates uncertainty in the quality of the assistance service that the selected contractor has been carrying out, given that the estimate of the year of operation of the project that was established in the deliverable 8.8, corresponding to phase 1 Profile review, has increased preliminary in four years in delivery 5.16, which belongs to phase 2 definitive study of engineering, which represents that the evaluation of the viability of the project would have been carried out on a Minor evaluation horizon in four years.
In that sense, it corresponds to Nacional Provias to adopt actions to optimize the deadlines established to the culmination of phase 2 Definitive Engineering Study and if applicable, request the update of the viability indicators that would have been underestimated by the Contractor during the preparation of the profile study, attending to the efficient use of public resources according to scope, time and costs established in the statements of the State.
