In recognition of the critical role of the PARCCOMs to monitor CARP-Funded Infrastructure Projects, PARC Executive Committee Administrative Order No. 01, Series of 1996, provides for the involvement of the PARCCOM in various stages of project validation and prioritization, monitoring, reporting and completion.

To reinforce the implementation of said AO and to further ensure the quality of these CARP-funded infrastructure projects, the PARCCOMs are hereby designated as one of the signatories on the final inspection team report prior to turnover of completed projects. Concomitant with this arrangement, the PARCCOMs are enjoined to closely monitor the actual construction of the projects and other critical phases of project implementation.

All concerned are directed to revise existing forms/documents accordingly.   EcAISC
