Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark A. Villar is reiterating warning against civil works contractors with delayed projects, following recent blacklisting of a contractor early this year.
“May we once again remind all contractors of DPWH that we are pushing for the timely realization of our Build, Build, Build Program nationwide and we will not tolerate any unreasonable delay in our projects,” said Secretary Villar.
“This year, we have already barred St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corporation from participating in all government projects for the period of one (1) year due to a much-delayed school building project in Indang, Cavite,” said Secretary Villar.
DPWH Secretary Villar issued the blacklisting of St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corporation through Department Order (DO) No. 20, series of 2020 signed last January 31, 2020 due to more than 15 percent negative slippage on the construction of a 4-storey school building project at Lumampong National High School – Indang Annex, Indang, Cavite.
“Let this be a warning that we will be banning more contractors who fail to deliver projects as stipulated in their contracts,” Secretary Villar further stated.
