Contracting Process for Infrastructure Projects Sample Clauses

Contracting Process for Infrastructure Projects. The Alternative Development Program utilized contracting procedures that contributed to the diversion of funds from environmental mitigation measures to other components of infrastructure project budgets. Although the Peruvian public contracting procedures set a referential budget for infrastructure projects, it requires that the contract be awarded to the lowest bidder. Consequently, contractors frequently submit bids that are lower than even the reference budget. Frequently they cannot finish the project with the funds in these low budgets. Consequently they sometimes seek to cut costs by shifting funds out of environmental line items into construction line items. 3 Contracts may also cut costs by reducing construction standards. For example, a contractor may reduce the depth of road surface materials or reduce the number or quality of drainage structures. Such reductions in construction standards frequently result in more rapid deterioration of the infrastructure. Roads, for example, will erode more quickly with a lower quality surface or fewer drainage structures and such erosion can cause both direct and indirect negative environmental impacts.
