📋 Tender Overview
- After a visit of the Comptroller, millions of deficiencies were detected. Hipolito Unanue hospital, drinking water plant and schools are among the inspected projectsTacna.- The Comptroller General Cesar Aguilar Surichaqui initiated a day of supervision in the Tacna region to verify the state of important public works that directly impact health, education, sanitation and urban roads, in order to ensure that state resources are used correctly and for the benefit of citizenship.
During his visit, the head of the Comptroller toured five emblematic projects that have delays, deficiencies or risks of inoperativity, despite the high investment committed.
Our priority is that each sun invested in public works translates into quality services for citizens. We will not allow paralysis and deficiencies to continue affecting the population, said Cesar Aguilar.
Hipolito Unanue hospital
The work to improve the services of the Hipolito Unanue hospital, executed by the Regional Government, has an investment exceeding S/ 632 million and records a physical advance of just 40.85 %, although 77 % of the budget has already been executed. The construction has been paralyzed since March 2020 and has serious structural problems.
One of them is the 135 seismic insulators and 35 sliders that are devices that are installed at the base of a structure, such as buildings or bridges, to protect them from the destructive effects of earthquakes.
This work does not comply with the National Building Regulations, a situation that extends its paralysis for five years. Faced with this reality, Aguilar Surichaqui highlighted his concern for the Tacnena population since there are millions of soles invested in something that has never been used for what he said he raised the necessary measures to unlock the work in question.
Temporary Hospital Infrastructure (Ioar)
The prefabricated installation implemented during the pandemic to expand hospital care, valued at more than S/ 44 million, was delivered to Essalud in 2020, but is currently abandoned, with leaks, remains of birds and deteriorated electromechanical equipment. This situation compromises the biosafety and sustainability of investment.
Calana Drinking Water Treatment Plant
The new drinking water plant, with an updated cost of S/ 158 million, is at the start -up stage. However, it presents deficiencies such as efflorescences in structures, absence of contingency dosing for chemical inputs and insufficient perimeter fence, which puts the operation and safety of infrastructure at risk.
Guillermo Auza Arce Educational Institution
The project to modernize this school, whose cost exceeds S/ 45 million, was paralyzed after the resolution of the contract for disputes with the contractor leaving an advance of 68 %. Currently, the technical file of work balance is prepared, while arbitration continues, which delays the access of hundreds of students to better educational conditions.
Improvement of tracks and paths in Leoncio Prado
The municipal work for more than S/ 13 million records a physical advance of only 26.7 % and faces problems after the resolution of the contract due to breaches of the Executing Consortium. In the intervened zone there are exposed drainage connections, mailboxes without safety and accumulation of clearing, which represents risks to health and road safety.
In this way, Aguilar Surichaqui reaffirmed its commitment to surveillance of the correct use of public resources, especially in priority works that provide fundamental rights such as health, education and access to drinking water.
