It has often been misconstrued by the general public that corrective measures undertaken on defective works on on-going and recently completed projects are a waste of taxpayers’ money and create a bad image for the Department. While the actions taken such as reconstruction, removal and/or replacement of structures and pavements are part of the efforts of the Department to assure the quality of the projects, the public is not properly enlightened on these activities.

Henceforth, it is hereby directed that all implementing offices provide informational signs indicating that corrective measures are being undertaken by the contractor on defective works, at his own expense, following the design format shown in Annex “A”^* of this Order.

Likewise, it has been observed that Department Order No. 96, series of 2003, regarding the provision of informational signs during inspection/verification of on-going and completed DPWH projects and application of red paint marking on defective works to be replaced/reworked by contractors have not been fully implemented. As such, it is hereby reiterated that all implementing offices fully comply with the said Order.

For strict compliance.

Adopted: 15 April 2011

(SGD.) ROGELIO L. SINGSON
Secretary
