The Commission on Audit (COA) has raised concerns over the provincial government of Mountain Province for awarding two irrigation projects to a construction firm that was blacklisted. The COA stated that a thorough post-qualification check should have been conducted to avoid such incidents.
MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Audit has flagged the provincial government of Mountain Province for awarding two irrigation projects to a blacklisted construction firm .
COA records show that the provincial government received P10.157 million from the DA for the implementation of the irrigation projects. Inquiry by the audit team bared that the provincial government’s bids and awards committee belatedly learned that ADL was among the blacklisted contractors. The COA reminded the provincial government to be more diligent in reviewing the qualification of bidders.
