CARIGARA, Leyte –Project implementation of the Department of Public Works and Highways- Leyte Second District Engineering Office is now on track to meet physical and financial targets for the fiscal year.
Based on the Project and Contract Management Application (PCMA), the district engineering office has reached 37.69%, surpassing the 25% target accomplishment for the month of August 2019.
“With the use of the new PCMA feature and through proper coordination between the office and the contractors, we are now able to monitor and fast-track our road, bridge, and flood mitigation projects,” said District Engineer Gerald Pacanan.
After awarding the notice to proceed, qualified bidders are registered to the award system in the Civil Works Application, and projects are then listed to the PCMA.
“We are currently working hastily to remain on schedule for the completion of our projects under the ‘Build, Build, Build’ program of the administration, and improve the infrastructures of Leyte’s second district,” added Pacanan.
The PCMA aims to improve transparency and accountability of physical and financial outcomes through the use of online geographic based status reporting and geo-tagged photos required to process the claims of contractors.
