After an inspection by the State Control Committee, the fence around the new hospital in Sharkovshchina became cheaper by Br150 million.
The cost of fencing the territory of the new hospital in Sharkovshchina alone was overstated by more than Br150 million, the Vitebsk Oblast Control Committee informed a BELTA correspondent.
Despite the existing system of control over construction work and the expenditure of budget funds for it, construction organizations continue to commit violations that lead to an overstatement of the cost of completed work. The main reason for the overstatement of the cost of work, the control department sees in the insufficient control over the progress of construction work by the customer, technical supervision, and the direct work performer. For example, during the construction of the first phase of the district hospital in the village of Sharkovshchina, designed for 165 beds with an outpatient clinic for 200 visits per shift, the cost of completed work for the installation of the territory fence alone was overstated by Br152.6 million. At the same time, no sophisticated schemes of deception were invented - simply the number of posts and fence sections, as well as their weight on paper and in reality were different, of course, on paper - larger.
In addition, at the same facility, an overstatement of payment for floor covering work in the maternity ward was established. During a site visit, it was found that these works were not performed by the contractor, but budget funds were received. And again, neither the customer nor the technical supervision had any claims against the contractor for presenting actually unperformed work for payment.
The Vitebsk Oblast Control Committee will continue to monitor construction work at various facilities.
