Grand Opening Coming Soon Market Building completion on February 3

Bansalan sees it coming. The people watch the structure rising. From those few shocking days immediately following the December blaze. That burning inferno brought down to ashes the decade - old market building. Mayor Edwin G. Reyes gave in the beginning the word that there will rise from the ashen debris a more imposing trading edifice sooner than soon before knowing it.
The people watch the word becoming everyday a reality. Today the word stands in hard stone and strong steel nearing completion on schedule. According to the contract the period of work completion is one year from February 3, 2011 – February 3, 2012.
The construction firm started the work as stipulated in the contract and it appears that the contractor is religiously observing the stipulation of the contract obviously avoiding the penalties of the infractions.
The contract provides in Article III that in case of any defect on workmanship or materials, it is the responsibility of the contractor to correct any damages resulting from such defects at the contractor’s expense. The contract also stipulates that the procuring entity meaning the municipal government may have the work or repair done by another contractor at the expense of the contractor.
The contract stipulates that the entire works shall be completed within a period of 365 calendar days for the consideration of seventy nine million eight hundred twelve thousand three hundred pesos ( Ᵽ 79,812,300.00 ).
The work on the drainage system construction was given signal to begin with the passage of Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No.301, S,2011 authored by Coun. Eduardo N. Telmo. The resolution authorized the temporary transfer of the dropping point for passenger buses infront of the Viacrusis park along the national highway road right–of–way beyond the 30 meters from center line of the road.
The purpose is for the reconstruction of the public market requiring drainage system.
Letters of advice to those vendors with stalls affected in the construction of the drainage have already been sent to concerned for the purpose.
