The Commission on Audit urged the state-run Philippine Children’s Medical Center to collect P147.5 million in liquidated damages from contractors over delays in four PCMC infrastructure projects.
The extension granted to the contractor in the Pediatric Brain Center and Steel Parking Building was 734 and 1,094 days beyond what the Procurement Law provides since these were supposed to be finished within 12 and six months, respectively. “Except for the severe weather conditions and COVID-19 pandemic, all factors are issues that should have been considered and resolved during the conduct of detailed engineering and in the preparation of the contract documents as agreed upon by the parties before contract perfection," said the COA.
Having said that, COA noted that requests for extensions made by the contractors to complete the project beyond the maximum allowable extension should not have been granted.
