In Costa Rica, the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic decided to cancel the contracts for two UNOPS road construction projects, after it decided to keep secret the files with the details of these contracts.
The decision by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) to hide the details of the contracts for the two road construction projects assigned to it by the National Road Council (Conavo) cost state coffers dearly.
The poor state of road infrastructure is one of the reasons explaining the growing supply of projects that provide residential and office spaces in one single place.
Rejecting the arguments put forward by three participants bidding for the construction work, the Comptroller has endorsed the contracts awarded to MECO, Hernán Solís and Quebradores del Sur.
The contract awarded to Constructora MECO is for $116 million, for Hernan Solis $76 million, and for Quebradores del Sur it is for more than $14 million. The timeframe for maintenance of the national road network is four years. The works must start within a maximum period of 15 working days.
Construction has been announced in San Jose, of a mixed-use complex that includes a tower containing 300 apartments spread over 42 floors, an office center and a shopping area.

The proposals in the tender for protective barriers on a 15 kilometer stretch of road on the Florencio del Castillo Highway were submitted by: Codocsa, with an offer of $3.6 million, Hernan Solis, with $1.05 million and Horizontes de Vías y Señales, with a proposal of $2.3 million.
A group of Costa Rican construction companies insists with the proposal made to the previous administration to expand the 107 kilometer of the road to Limon at a cost lower than the Chinese option.
The five builders who suggested their plan to the former officials of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works are once again knocking on the doors of the institution, this time proposing that the current chief, Carlos Segnini, consider the initiative as an alternative to the loan from the government of China, of $465 million.
In the waning days of an administration marked by scandals and inefficiencies in infrastructure, the rush to execute contracts is notorious, and there are even extensions being given out without tenders or bids.
Residents of the capital San Jose seem puzzled over how resurfacing works are to be carried out on streets that are apparently in good condition.
