CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, March 7 – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH-10) will soon implement various road construction projects in Cagayan de Oro city.

This is based on the information provided by Engr. Leowald Pecore, Project Engineer of DPWH-10 to the Office of City Mayor Oscar Moreno, a copy of which was received by the City Council committee on public works chaired by Councilor Alden Bacal.

The proposed projects involve the rehabilitation, reconstruction and upgrading of damaged paved national roads including drainage based on Pavement Management System/Highway Development and Management-4 (HDM-4) Intermitted Section, Sayre Highway in Upper Puerto.

Pecore said in view of this, traffic flow in the area might be affected and minimized as the operation starts since the affected area is the main carriageway along the station limits.

The engineer said the contractor will start the project at its own risk. However, he said, the date for its implementation is still on process.

OBO PROJECT

Meanwhile, the request of the Office of the City Building Official (OBO) for the approval of the repair and improvement of the lobby area as extension for the processing of permits will soon be tackled by the committee.

In her letter request to Vice Mayor Caesar Ian Acenas, Maria Concepcion Alcantara, OIC-OBO, said OBO intends to provide a much comfortable area for clients while waiting for the release of permits and an express lane for Persons with Disability (PWDs), senior citizens and pregnant women.

She informed the vice mayor that the Building Permit Management System (BPMS), which is an online building permit application created to improve the services to the transacting public, will have its official public launching on March 2, 2016.

BPMS is a project of the city government in partnership with the Mindanao University of Science and Technology.

Considering the small area of the office, it could not compress in the additional service as planned, she said.
