DPWH DEPARTMENT ORDER NO. 23, January 17, 1990
OPERATING EXPENSES FOR CONSULTING SERVICES
National Administrative Register January 17, 1990
It has been observed that operating expenses related to consulting
services, like salaries of support staff, operation and maintenance of
consultant’s vehicles, offices, laboratories and quarters and other
incidental expenses, are charged against civil works contracts. This
arrangement results in implementation problems and does not promote
efficiency of both the delivery of consulting services and the work
progress of civil works contracts.
services, like salaries of support staff, operation and maintenance of
consultant’s vehicles, offices, laboratories and quarters and other
incidental expenses, are charged against civil works contracts. This
arrangement results in implementation problems and does not promote
efficiency of both the delivery of consulting services and the work
progress of civil works contracts.
To obviate the resulting negative effects of this arrangement, it is
only expenses related to purely civil works must form part of the civil
works contract, and those related to consulting services should form
part of the consulting services contract.
This order shall take effect immediately.
