New Dong Nai Bridge Project: inappropriate package construction contract
Posted Date: 20/07/2011
On the morning of May 25, 2009, Vice-Chairman of Dong Nai People’s Committee Dinh Quoc Thai had a working session with Dong Nai Department of Transport and Dong Nai Investment and Construction JSC on engineering works’ removals belonging to the site clearance and resettlement plan of the new Dong Nai bridge project.

According to the report made by Dong Nai Investment and Construction JSC, the
process of new Dong Nai bridge construction has faced many obstacles. The
construction of new Dong Nai Bridge was a lump-sump contract. This form was
applied when there were enough cost estimates. But the cost of project was just
approved on the basis of financial estimates provided by technical
infrastructure units. The work volume and unit price of the advance account of
the project were only quantitative in urgent condition of the process, so the
application of lump-sump contract was not inappropriate.

The
site clearance is another difficulty that this project has to face. The deadline
of site transfer to construction unit is July, 2009, but some households have
wondered about the land compensation prices and asked to adjust them in some
areas. In addition, the water pipe system built in 1975 and fiber-optic cable
system built in 1990 have not been removed yet.
Vice Chairman Dinh Quoc Thai asked related departments and sectors to carefully
consider problems to solve them rapidly, ensuring the process of site clearance
and identifying the package contract once again, then continuing to implement
the construction of new bridge.
