Project name: Abuyog WD 5 MLD Bulk Water Supply and Expansion Project
Water Point Construction Services and Supply (WPC) for Component “B”
I. Project Description
The project involves the design and construction of a 5 MLD bulk water supply system for the
Abuyog Water District, consisting of the following components:
Component “A’: Water treatment plant (WTP) with a capacity of 5 million liters/day ( 5MLD),
inclusive of all its accessories, a diversion weir, intake structure, supply of raw water and dosing
pumps, piping, laboratory and admin building, power house, chlorination pumps and treated
water pumps, steel tank as reservoir with a total capacity of 500 cubic meters (cu.m.), supply
of standby generator rated at 250 KVA, guard house, site development, perimeter fencing with
gate and other items in Brgy. Balinsasayao, Abuyog, Leyte.
Component “B”;; Transmission facilities capable of transmitting 5 MLD of treated water from
a 500 cu.m. ground tank located in Bgy. Balinsasayao down to a defined service area of the
Abuyog Water District (AWD) via a series of pumps, transmission and distribution lines and
ancillaries, and passing through the existing ground tank in Abuyog, Leyte. As agreed upon
during the 2nd Coordination Meeting held in AWD on 21 August 2018, the WD’s desired
minimum acceptable water pressure is 7 pounds/square inch (PSI) to 10 PSI.
The project is being implemented under two separate contracts, both between WVI and AKI.

- Weir and Raw Water Conveyance: Activities for the construction of the weir and
water conveyance system resumed after the stoppage resulting from a dispute on the
ownership of the proposed site. The problem was settled in a meeting arranged by
AWD GM Roy F. Merro. The meeting was held at the job site and was attended by
the AWD, WVI, AKI, NIC and the Claimant. The agreement set a limit to the
construction area which affected the approved design of the weir and necessitated a
design revision. Laying of raw water conveyance pipes and excavation for the
construction of the weir are now in progress.
- Treated Water Reservoir: Construction of the concrete foundation is complete.
Steel plates for the treated water reservoir are on site and fabrication of the steel
reservoir will start as soon as power supply becomes available. Payment of the
necessary fees, materials and labor cost for the permanent power connection has
been made through a bank deposit to the account of DORELCO. Meanwhile,
installation of a transformer for temporary power connection is expected shortly.
- Sludge Lagoon/Intake Structure: 2.4 meters of the 3.5 meters of perimeter wall
has been completed. Second lift is in progress.
- Total accomplishment as of 30 June 2019 increased to 42.170% from 33.955% in
the previous month.

IV. Action Items
Description Status
1 Facilitate the Nation Manufacturing and Industrial Products Corp. (Nation) has completed
manufacturing/ the production of all HDPE pipes. The remaining two truckloads of HDPE
transport of pipes and pipes for the project has yet to be shipped by WPC to the site. Purchase
fittings by Nation and delivery of G.I. pipes and fittings from Cebu City for the
bridge/drainage crossings and interconnections is on-going.
2 Submit electronically For component A, the previously approved weir design is being revised
scanned copy of the based on the boundary limitations agreed upon by AWD/WVI and the land
approved design for claimant at the Balinsasayao weir site. Upon approval of the revisions,
components A & B. hard and scanned copies of the WTP final design plans/drawings will be
furnished to WVI. For component B, hard copies of the design plans and
drawings for the transmission and distribution pipelines have been
submitted to WVI.
3 Obtain Building Permit The Abuyog Municipal Engineer’s office requested submission of a copy
of the DPWH permit together with the WVI/AWD-approved design
drawings of components A and B as a requisite for the issuance of the
Building permit.
4 Obtain DPWH Permit AWD, WVI and AKI met with DPWH officials on 3 June 2019. This was
followed by a joint inspection of the pipeline route the following day with
WPC also in attendance. ROW problem areas have been identified and
necessary letters and follow-up with DPWH are being undertaken to
resolve the issues.
5 Implement catch-up The catch up plans for components A & B were prepared and submitted to
plan WVI. However, ROW concerns severely affected and greatly hampered
work progress. ROW concerns for Component A have been resolved
allowing resumption of construction activities in the contested lots. For
Component B, activities allowed by DPWH in the less contentious pipe
routes are proceeding pending resolution of ROW issues in the more
problematic areas.
6 Resolve Right-of-Way The dispute in the location of the weir and raw water conveyance was
(ROW) issues on: resolved when WVI/AWD agreed with the land claimant to relocate the
weir based on their alleged lot boundaries. This will require modification in
A: Weir and row the weir design which NIC has already done. This revised design will be
water conveyance re-submitted for approval to WVI next week. The ROW issues with DPWH
location for pipe routes along the National Roads are more contentious and will
take more time, effort and funding are will be discussed at the 10 July
B: Pipe alignment
2019 WVI Board Meeting. A senior WVI representative who can act and
decide on WVI’s behalf on urgent ROW issues is needed on site.
7 Progress Billing No. 1 Progress Billing No. 1 for Component “B” was submitted to WVI on 17
for Component “B” June 2019. WPC is following-up on the payment to ensure continuity of
project implementation.
