Infrastructure Development Cycle
In the DPWH, the
development of infrastructure projects (e.g. roads, bridges, flood
control facilities and water supply) follows a cycle process
consisting of four phases as follows:
-
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
It is the process of collecting potential projects with expected
return of investments.
-
PROJECT PREPARATION
a. Project Feasibility Study
The feasibility
study consists of various investigations and tests necessary to
determine whether the project can and should be carried out and
if, so, how and when?
b. Inclusion in the Medium-Term
If the project meets the above feasibility criteria,
it is considered for inclusion in the medium-term infrastructure
program for the period of six years.
c. Fund Appropriation
Based on the medium-term infrastructure program,
appropriations for the projects are authorized thru legislation.
d. Detailed Engineering
Detailed engineering of a project under the medium
term program is undertaken in preparation for actual
implementation under the annual infrastructure programs.
e. Inclusion of Project in Annual Program:
Programming
Projects proposed for inclusion in the annual
infrastructure program are a) those that rank high high in
priority within the medium-term program, and b) those that are
technically ready for actual implementation during the year (i.e.
with substantially completed detailed engineering).
-
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
|
a.
Fund Releases |
|
| |
Immediately after the NEDA Board approves the annual
infrastructure program in early November, the DBM issues the
Advice's of Allotment (AAs) for the projects in the program on a
comprehensive basis. |
|
|
b.
Right-Of-Way Acquisition |
|
| |
The right-of-way of any infrastructure project, such as road,
should be acquired ahead of construction in order not to impede
the work. |
|
|
c.
Bidding and Contracting |
|
| |
In line with the policy of the government to rely on the private
sector as the main engine of economic development,
infrastructure projects are generally undertaken by contract
after public bidding. |
|
|
d.
Construction |
|
| |
Actual construction work is carried out through the Project
Management Office (PMO) and the Regional/District Offices. |
|
|
e.
Completion and Acceptance |
|
| |
Project completion is the transition from the development to the
operational stage. Completion reports and as-built plans are
prepared for the submission to the implementing office heads, to
management, and to funding institutions. |
|
|
f.
Payment |
|
| |
Due and demandable claims are processed by the
DPWH either at the Central, Regional or District level, in
accordance with existing government budgeting, accounting and
auditing rules |

PROJECT OPERATION AND EVALUATION
a. Operational and Maintenance
National roads
and bridges, major flood control structures, and related
facilities of national importance remain under the responsibility
of the DWPH during the operational phase. The Regional and
District undertake the maintenance of the facilities generally by
administration.
b. Impact Evaluation
Impact evaluation or post-project appraisal is an
attempt to assess the results of a project and, as a function of
the results, of the means employed to achieve them.
