Mr. Le Huu Danh, Director of Thuan An town Project Management Board, said, Hoa Cuc 10 kindergarten project was approved by PPC through Official Document No. 2310/UBND-KTTH dated August 12th 2013. After obtaining the investment approval, the project management board fulfilled investment procedures and put forward design options in report No. 20/TB-UBND dated January 17th 2014 of Thuan An town People's Committee. At the present, Law on Construction and Law on Public Investment 2014 have taken effect, thus projects must report to appraisal agencies.
Regarding Chau Van Tiep project, its construction drawing and bidding estimates were approved. The project was funded by two sources of State budget capital and socialization capital from ARECO Company (currently is Binh Duong Tourist Company). Because written agreement with businesses, and land compensation, clearance have not been completed, the project has not been finished.
According to Project Management Board, project management work has faced some difficulties in project design requiring adjustments; land clearance, due to disagreement of local people; changes in regulations and laws, for example, Bidding Law, Construction Law, Public Investment Law, new decrees and circulars, delayed the implementation process.
Mr. Danh added, to accelerate the progress and fulfill the plan set out in 2015, the Project Management Board will focus on improving the quality of project planning consultation, design and supervision; reducing errors, promoting cooperation with other sectors and localities to perform project appraisal, clearance; managing well construction quality, accelerating progress in order for projects to put into use…
