📋 Tender Overview
The Office of the Comptroller General warned that the second stage of the pedestrian and vehicular walkability work, "Urban habilitation of the José de San Martín sector, in Paracas, Pisco" is not being executed in accordance with the provisions of the technical file, which puts its quality and useful life at risk.
The control auditors identified a lack of tests on pavement base batches, the use of material with a volume different from the technical specifications, deficiencies in concrete and sardine work, lack of signage and the absence of key professionals, among other adverse situations.
According to the Concurrent Control Report No. 010-2024-OCI/0409-SCC, the execution of the work is valued at S/ 7,626,666 by a contractor, after a contract with the District Municipality of Paracas.
The control commission warned that work was carried out on the granular sub-base and base without supporting the performance of the quality control tests in the required quantities. For the granular sub-base in an area of 5,734 square meters, eight "density-moisture" tests are required, however, the contractor submitted only one test.
While for the granular base on an area of 8,003 square meters, 32 "density" tests are required, but the contractor accredited only 23 tests. Likewise, it did not carry out other tests required by pavement regulations.
It was also noted that the contractor has been using material containing stones measuring between 1 and 8 inches, when it should be 2 to 6 inches. In the same way, crabeaters were found in the sardines of Las Orquídeas street, superficial disintegration in the asphalt layer in San Martín street and concrete pouring at the intersection of Los Tulipanes street with Las Begonias with mixture that did not satisfactorily pass the required quality control.
It was also warned that work is being carried out without the respective signage (tapes, meshes, cones, vertical signs) in the streets Los Tulipanes, Las Begonias, Los Claveles and Las Azucenas. Nor is there the presence of the key personnel of the supervision not authorized in the College of Engineers (supervising assistants and specialists in soil mechanics).
The result of this control visit report was communicated to the head of the District Municipality of Paracas so that he can adopt the corresponding corrective and preventive measures.
