The Re-Entry Project entitled “Project Planning and Implementation Protocol for DPWH Projects with Constraints outside DPWH Control” was essentially a tool that was anchored on the linkages and agreements between the external stakeholders’ of DPWH-Lanao del Norte 2nd District Engineering Office which was built to establish mutual awareness and shared responsibility in the timely delivery of efficient public service for infrastructure development specifically in road construction and widening, flood control projects, and construction of bridges.
The internal DPWH-LN 2nd DEO records reflected a substantial 43.16% of projects from 2013-2015with time delays incurred. These delays have caused public inconvenience and definitely have resulted in economic opportunity losses. Thus, the need to find measures and controls in order to mitigate and possibly avoid the delay was imminent. The core issues resolved in the development of the project planning and implementation protocol were: 1) Road Right of Way Acquisition Process, 2) Clearing of Perennial Trees and Other Environmental Concerns, and 3) Relocation of Public Utilities. As the complexity of resolution of the Road Right of Way Acquisition Process was recognized as the most processing concern at 75.60% of the total projects with delay, internal mitigation procedures were recommended as part of the Re-Entry Project.
The conformance of four identified stakeholders: DENR-CENRO, ILPI, LANECO, and Iligan City Water District, to the ReP Protocol developed was a major step towards an efficient project implementation of DPWH-LN 2nd DEO.
