The Santo Domingo East Mayor’s Officein coordination with the Dominican College of Engineers and Surveyors (Codia), held this Monday a raffle of works for the construction of sidewalks and containers in the municipality with funds from the Central Government for an amount of 24 million pesos.
The draw was made through an act held in the lobby of the institution where the 110 bidders who showed interest in being awarded the works participated, nine of them resulting as winners.
“Public management mandated by the Public Administration Law itself needs to publicize, that is, make known everything that is done, we simply comply with the Law, to generate well-being and social development,” said Mayor Manuel Jiménez.
He argued that he was chosen to manage the largest Mayor’s Office in the country, with many social debts, “but we have chosen a phrase: our urgency is to do it well.”
He indicated that the institution is committed to ensuring that engineers who do not have large companies have a participation in these processes in Santo Domingo Este and the opportunity to demonstrate their potential.
While the participating engineers highlighted the transparency process with which the process was developed.
Among the winning engineers are: Edward Cabrera Mercedes, Elvin Alcibíades de la Rosa Pérez, Manuel de Jesús Beltré, Arelis Mejía Carreras, José Ángel Jiménez Hernández and Hipólito García, among others.
“Today is a very special day for the Nuevo Amanecer sector, due to the works that the trustee Manuel Jiménez has ordered in a forgotten community, and the fairness with which this has been handled to favor the neighborhood associations since the raffle of works“, said engineer José Nolbeto Ramírez, one of the winners of the process and who is also president of the Nuevo Amanecer Neighborhood Council.
“I feel grateful and blessed for this opportunity that the City Council has given me through the lottery, to be part of one of the contractors,” said another of the beneficiaries.
The event was also attended by the president of Codia, Dolores Núñez, and the members of the City Council’s Purchasing and Contracting Committee, Yancarlos Simanca, president, Jehimy E. Núñez Pérez, Belkis Estrella Fernández, Gelson Antigua Rivera, and Juan Bienvenido Of the Orb.
Messrs. Milton de Oleo, Neferty Feliz, and Amín Sánchez acted as experts in the process.
