Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) started the year strong by holding its first Contractors’ Coordination Meeting for CY 2025 on Monday, January 13, 2025, to address critical matters relating to ongoing and future projects.
The meeting aimed to ensure all contractors were aligned with the provisions of the issued Department Orders (DO) with emphasis on DO no. 166, series of 2024 and DO no. 5, series of 2025. Additionally, it was conducted to highlight the importance of completing projects within the approved timelines while adhering to proper procedure.
“We encourage all contractors to step up with your construction activity and to take advantage of every opportunity when the weather permits,” District Engineer Rosita A. Tinawin said. “I also advise you to invest in high quality equipment and materials to maximize its usage. This helps maintain quality workmanship as well as the integrity and longevity of our infrastructure, thereby avoiding redo of the completed activity due to poor workmanship or poor quality of materials used.”
Contractors were also able to raise concerns and share feedback on project implementation challenges, reinforcing teamwork and open communication as they work towards the district’s infrastructure goals.
