A. Engineering Services
Prior to project implementation, the concerned agency shall provide appropriate engineering preparations:
Whenever deemed necessary, the agency may engage in each affected area, project or cluster or projects, in-house consultants from reputable firms to assist and advise it.
B. Actual Project Implementation
The implementing agencies or local government units responsible for the actual repair and reconstruction of the infrastructure facilities shall determine the most appropriate mode of implementing each project in the program. For this purpose, the agencies or local government units may adopt any of the following options, whichever is appropriate:
- Administration or force account shall generally be adopted as a mode of project implementation for Level I or when the scope is difficult to quantify for contracting purposes and it is within the implementing capability of the agency or local government unit.
- Negotiated contract may be adopted as a mode of project implementation for Levels I and II when the works are urgent and beyond the force account capability of the concerned agency or local government unit especially those involving structural damage, imminent danger to life and property, significant social and economic losses and where time is of the essence in project implementation. Negotiated contracts may be entered into not later than six (6) months from the effectivity of Republic Act No. 6960 and in accordance with Section 5 thereof.
- Contract after public bidding may be adopted as a mode of project implementation for Levels II and III projects which are less urgent and cannot be completed within one year. As much as possible the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 1594 and its implementing rules and regulations, as amended, shall be followed. However, in so far as advertisement for the project, prequalification of contractors and award of contracts are concerned, the implementing agencies or local government units may shorten the requirements for notice and evaluation periods.
