BACOLOD City – The city government is paying IPM Construction and Development Corp. around P30 million for the two-month extension of its garbage collection and hauling contract.

Aside from permitting the extension, the Sangguniang Panlungsod has granted Mayor Evelio Leonardia the authority to sign the extended deal.

Originally the contract was only from Sept. 2 to Dec. 31, 2016.

For the extension from January to February this year, the city government will pay the IPM P14,858,356.28 a month.

Leonardia requested for the extension from the city council.

On Jan. 5, he wrote the councilors saying he learned from Department of Public Services head Nelson Sedillo last month that the contract was ending on Dec. 31, 2016 but no bidding for a new garbage collection contract had been held yet.

Considering the “satisfactory” performance of the IPM from November to December 2016, Sedillo recommended that the contract be extended until the bidding is complete so as not to hamper public services, the mayor said.

Part of the original contract stated:

“This contract shall take effect on Sept. 2, 2016 and shall remain in full force and effect up to Dec. 31, 2016 unless sooner terminated or cancelled for cause stipulated under Item No. V of this contract, and is renewable at the option solely of the city government if service extension is still necessary and until a new bidding is successfully completed.”/PN
