📋 Tender Overview
The Regional Government of San Martín (Goresam) continues firm in the execution of the project "Creation of the drinking water supply system of Juninguillo", of the city of Moyobamba, this Monday 22 an addendum will be signed with the Sanitation Services Provider Company (EPS) to make the corresponding adjustments to the initial agreement signed between both institutions, due to legal impediments, the budget cannot be transferred to the EPS to assume supervision.
To determine concrete actions that contribute to the progress of the efforts of the execution of the work, the technical team of the regional government, led by the regional general manager, Carlos Ramírez Córdova, met today with the general manager of the EPS, Iván Reátegui Acedo, who saluted the political will of the regional governor Walter Grundel Jiménez, of having assumed the execution of this important work, which will improve the drinking water service in the city of Moyobamba by 80%.
At the meeting, it was agreed that, in a section of the addendum, which will be signed this Monday, the EPS will be included to accompany the work during the process of execution and supervision of the work, in order to guarantee a transparent process to achieve quality work, since finally the operation and maintenance will be assumed by the EPS when the work is delivered.
"We understand that it was not possible due to legal issues for the regional government to transfer the budget to us to be able to assume the supervision of the work, that is the least of it, what we want is for the work to become a reality for the benefit of our users, I fully trust in the political decision of the governor and in the operational capacity of his technical team to execute a good work," said the manager of the EPS, Iván Reátegui.
Meanwhile, Carlos Ramírez Córdova, manager of Goresam, stressed that the specific inter-institutional cooperation agreement signed between Goresam and the EPS contemplated the transfer of the budget to the EPS to assume the supervision of the work, this transfer was planned to be done through ordinary resources, which was available until last year. however, this year 2024, as we do not have this type of resources, the only way is to do it through the Regional Compensation Fund (FONCOR), however, under this modality, the Budget Law does not allow transfers.
He explained that FONCOR has a redistributive character and its purpose is to finance investments by regional governments, but it has several requirements to meet, among them, it has to be multiprovincial and that it exceeds 2,400 Tax Units (UITs), that application for incorporation has to be sent to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) so that they validate and thus can open the process.
Regarding the supervision that now has to be determined by the Goresam, he said that the supervisions are contracted to other companies, through a selection process the good pro is granted to the winning company, but it is not done with people from the same regional government, therefore, we are not "judge and party" as has been speculated.
