SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Sec. 3. Program of Work Required Before Prosecuting Public Works. Before prosecuting any public works projects, the district, city or project engineer concerned shall prepare a program of work for approval by the Department head concerned for any project with an estimated cost of more than P500,000; by the Bureau Head concerned for any project with an estimated cost of more than P200,000, but more than P500,000; by the Regional Director concerned for any project with an estimated cost of more than P50,000 but not more than P200,000; and by the District or City Engineer concerned for case shall construction funds be remitted to filed office or construction work on a project be started before the program of work is approved.

The PERT/CPM diagram shall be used by the agency concerned as a basis for, inter alia, monitoring the progress of work, making progress payments, and assessing claims for extra cost and time extension.

The program of work for any project shall be amended except in case of unforeseen contingencies, or any change in field condition or other similar circumstances in which case an amendment may be allowed provided that such amendment will not result in a deficient of the expected accomplishment in excess of fifteen per centum thereof and an extension of project duration beyond a reasonable period.

Sec. 4. Rental of Equipment. Rental of equipment shall not be deducted at the time of the release of funds for public works or even in anticipation of use of the equipment but shall be paid based on actual use when the appropriation so released is P25,000 or less.

Before any such project is prosecuted, the agency concerned shall prepare at least two alternative methods of construction based on the same plans and structural standards, one being labor-intensive together with a comparative evaluation of projected financial and economic costs, employment generation, and technical quality; such comparison shall be the basis for selecting the most advantageous construction techniques to be employed in terms of the criteria in the preceding sentence.

The selected construction techniques shall be made part and the basis of the program of work which shall be subject to approval by the officials concerned in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 3 of this Decree.

The purchase of hand tools and other work implements for undertaking public works projects by labor-intensive technique is authorized to be charged against the project funds not to exceed five per centum of the estimated project cost; Provided, That the agencies concerned shall undertake a continuing inventory of such hand tools and other work implements and make full economic use thereof in different projects.
