📋 Tender Overview
The Comptrollers Office warned that infrastructure for 1,500 students and teachers continues to be postponed even though it was supposed to end on the 14th of this month.Lambayeque. - The Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR) warned that the District Municipality of Jose Leonardo Ortiz does not guarantee or caution the completion of the work for the recovery of the Mater Admirabilis Educational Institution, which should have been completed in February of this year, but had an extension of the deadline until June 14. However, it remains unfinished to the detriment of more than 1,500 students and teachers.
The works (balance of work) and supervision were awarded for a total of S/ 13,532,279 between May and June 2025. Meanwhile, execution began on July 2 of that year with a period of 240 calendar days.
In the Control Milestone Report No. 8794-2026-CG/GRLA-SCC, which evaluated the period between March 21 and May 25, 2026, it is noted that various contractual and additional items register insufficient progress, among them, those referring to the sports slab, a perimeter fence, patios, administrative module, interconnecting bridges, wall plastering, ceiling, staircase base, among others.
This situation is reflected in the valuation of work No. 10, corresponding to April 2026, where a real accumulated progress of 51% was recorded compared to the programmed 84%, which represents a delay of 33%. Even considering additional benefits with approved binding deductibles, the gap would reach 20%, which is significant.
According to the accelerated schedule approved by the entity, between May and the first 14 days of June, more than 49% of the pending work had to be executed and valued, which confirms the delay in execution.
The exposed facts generate the risk of failing to comply with contractual obligations within the established deadlines, affecting the completion time of the work and delaying the use of the educational infrastructure by the beneficiary population.
Patio coverage continues without a solution
Another risk alerted is related to the coverage of patios 1 and 2 due to the failure of the contractor to present the technical file for an additional service, despite the fact that its need was warned and ratified in a timely manner by the construction supervision. Since the entity informed the contractor that the coverage had to be executed using post-tensioned canvas, several months passed without the file being submitted, failing to meet the deadlines established in the Reconstruction with Changes regulations.
The contractor questioned the viability of said solution and proposed independent coverage, along with 18 additional items not considered in the original file, arguing that the alternative proposed by the entity could generate structural overloads and affect the seismic behavior of the buildings.
While technical discrepancies persist between the municipality and the contractor, the coverage of the patios remains pending execution. It is necessary to point out that to execute what is indicated by the municipality regarding the roofs of the patios with canvas, a deductive work of the roofing of the patios with metal coverage must first be considered, as is considered in the current technical file.
The control report was communicated to the District Municipality of Jose Leonardo Ortiz for corrective actions to ensure the timely completion of the work and guarantee the service to the educational community.
