In line with the decentralization policy of the Government and to provide for more effective and expeditious implementation of infrastructure projects, the limits of delegated authority of the District Engineers with respect to nationally-funded infrastructure contracts and related matters for projects within their respective districts (i.e., except inter-district projects) are hereby increased as follows:

a.	Approval of plans, specifications, programs of work, and agency estimates for infrastructure projects	P5,000,000
b.	Conduct of public competitive bidding and resulting award, approval, and termination/ rescission of infrastructure contracts	P5,000,000
c.	Approval of fund disbursements for infrastructure contracts approved by them	P5,000,000
d.	Approval of variation orders for and time extension of infrastructure contracts approved by them	Cumulative change from original contract cost/time not exceeding P150,000/15 days or 25%, whichever is less

e. Suspension of work under Section CI 10 of PD 1594- Implementing Rules and Regulations not requiring time extension (e.g., for failure of contractor to correct bad conditions or perform any contract provisions)

All claims for delays shall be submitted for processing as time extensions.  Time suspensions shall not be issued unless there is prior approval by the Undersecretary concerned.

This Order amends existing Department Orders and other issuances of portions thereof inconsistent with it, and takes effect immediately.
