The National Irrigation Administration issued a cautionary letter among the contractors who were behind project completion.
“Among my mandate is to give higher priority to the increase of irrigation area through rehabilitation of existing irrigation facilities” NIA administrator Peter Tiu Laviña said.
The concerned contractors which attained very low or poor physical accomplishments as of December 2016 received a warning from the administrator.
They were also directed to come up with their respective catch-up plans to address the delays.
“We are giving you [contractors] 30 calendar days to submit your firm’s commitment to complete the obligated works as specified in the contract,” Laviña said.
Lavina also warned that he would not hesitate to suspend all the contractors who failed to meet their obligations and would use sub-standard materials for the projects.
“We will impose necessary actions in accordance with the provisions in the contract documents once they failed to adhere to their obligations,” he said.
