Urgent and proactive: View from the construction of Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway
Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang Expressway - a national key project passing through Tuyen Quang has a length of 77 km, starting at the intersection of Tuyen Quang - Phu Tho Expressway with National Highway 2D in Nhu Khe Commune (Yen Son). Determining the importance of the project, along with experience from the previous construction of Tuyen Quang - Phu Tho Expressway, procedures on investment preparation, design, estimates, engineering, contractor selection... have been completed by the Provincial Traffic Works Management Board in advance.
The site clearance task is divided into 3 sub-projects through Tuyen Quang City, Yen Son and Ham Yen, invested by the People's Committees of the districts according to administrative boundaries.
Identifying the project's site clearance as an important political task, Yen Son district has focused the entire political system on participating. The locality established a Steering Committee for site clearance compensation headed by the District Party Committee Secretary and Deputy District Party Committee Secretaries as deputy heads. Every month, the District Party Committee Standing Committee reviews the progress of implementation to promptly report and resolve difficulties and problems during the implementation process.
Comrade Nguyen Huu Phuong, Chairman of Yen Son District People's Committee, said: The District People's Committee directed specialized departments to focus on confirming the origin of the land and the land use process to serve as a basis for establishing and approving compensation, support and resettlement plans. At the same time, establish a Propaganda and Mobilization Team to grasp public opinion information, a Complaint Resolution Team to promptly resolve issues related to the project, and a Compensation and Site Clearance Appraisal Team to appraise documents, as a basis for approving compensation and site clearance plans in accordance with the law.
Leaders of Yen Son District People's Committee inspected the construction area of Tan Tien Commune Health Station.
This is also the way of the localities where the project passes through. According to the report of the Traffic Works Management Board, up to now, the entire route has completed site clearance for over 50/69.7km. Of the 24 resettlement areas, site clearance has been completed and site leveling has been implemented. 471/488 graves have been relocated, of which Yen Son and Ham Yen have completed 100% relocation.
Comrade Ha Van Sang, Deputy Director of the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, said that currently, 5/6 road and bridge construction packages have been simultaneously implemented. The packages with handed over site have been implemented since mid-January 2024. Within the handed over site, 38 construction teams have been implemented, including 30 road construction teams and 8 bridge construction teams. The construction and installation value by the end of the first quarter of 2024 is estimated to reach over 120 billion VND, reaching 2.43% of the contract value.
Promote decentralization and delegation of power
According to the report of the Department of Planning and Investment, the total state budget investment plan for 2024 assigned by the central government to the province is nearly 4,400 billion VND, local capital allocated, and the state budget investment plan assigned is over 4,734 billion VND. Meanwhile, the amount of advanced capital under the regime that has not been recovered by the end of 2023 transferred to 2024 is still over 3,402 billion VND.
Immediately after being assigned the state budget investment plan, the Provincial People's Committee directed specialized agencies to prepare, appraise, and submit for approval the allocation of 100% of the capital plan in accordance with regulations. According to local leaders, the allocation of this year's capital plan was carried out earlier than every year, helping localities proactively allocate capital for projects and works in the area.
For example, in Son Duong district, the total public investment capital plan of the district this year is 212 billion VND. The district has prioritized capital for projects and works that are still lacking capital after the final settlement is approved; prioritized capital for compensation, site clearance and completed works awaiting final settlement approval. At the same time, priority is given to capital allocation for key projects, new constructions and projects preparing for investment. According to the district People's Committee, in 2024, Son Duong will implement 7 projects managed by the provincial capital and allocate over 162 billion VND of decentralized capital to the district.
Construction progress of Ngoi Cai Resettlement Area, Tien Bo Commune (Yen Son) is being accelerated.
At the same time, to overcome the waiting situation like many previous years, the Provincial People's Committee has promoted decentralization to localities, including decentralization of capital allocation for national target programs, procedures for recovery, compensation, site clearance, bidding plans, etc. Therefore, the disbursement of public investment capital has been proactively prepared by localities and units from the beginning of the year.
The Provincial People's Committee has established an inspection team to inspect and urge works and projects since the beginning of the year, from inspecting key works to construction works using capital from national target programs. The Provincial People's Committee maintains a working group to inspect, urge, remove obstacles, promote disbursement of investment capital, organize inspections to grasp the implementation situation at key works such as inspecting the progress of compensation and site clearance of Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang Expressway (phase 1) through Tuyen Quang, inspecting the construction progress of My Lam Mineral Spring Hospital project, attending work and inspecting the progress of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction and the National Target Program on Socio-economic Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas in Ham Yen, Son Duong, Chiem Hoa...
According to Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen The Giang, the inspection from the beginning of the year will listen to and resolve difficulties and problems right at the grassroots level so that the Provincial People's Committee can promptly remove and resolve them. Only then can the requirements for progress and quality be met as soon as possible and most effectively.
Where is the problem, solve it there
According to Official Dispatch No. 2060/BTC-DT dated February 28, 2024 of the Ministry of Finance on the payment of state budget investment capital in January, estimated implementation in February, the progress of public investment disbursement of Tuyen Quang province ranked 2nd out of 63 provinces and cities.
As of mid-March, the disbursement progress of public investment capital in the province reached over 729 billion VND, reaching 15.4% of the annual plan. Regarding the implementation of 3 national target programs, in 2024, the province plans to build 677 projects, with a capital of over 880 billion VND. Up to this point, the disbursement rate has reached 6.49% of the plan. Determining that the workload is still very large, a lot if the sectors and localities are not proactive and active from the beginning of the year, on March 15, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee organized a specialized conference of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to assess the implementation of the public investment plan in 2024. At the meeting, the difficulties and obstacles in accelerating the construction progress of construction works and accelerating the disbursement progress of investment capital were reported by investors, together with the province to find ways to resolve them.
In particular, the difficulties in lack of capital and construction materials for key projects have been directly directed by the provincial leaders. For example, the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project, according to the report of the Provincial Traffic Works Management Board, the current compensation budget is relatively large, because the compensation unit price is currently applied according to Decision 15, while the compensation unit price when approving the project is according to Decision 05 of the Provincial People's Committee. The budget adjustment is being carried out by the Provincial Traffic Works Management Board to quickly complete compensation for households and arrange the site as soon as possible for construction units.
People of Tu Quan commune (Yen Son) are ready to hand over the construction site of Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway.
Many projects such as the General Hospital, or projects under national target programs are currently lacking fill soil. At the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee's symposium, comrade Dang Minh Ton, Deputy Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, said that to overcome this situation, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment is currently completing a draft to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for guidance on resolving the shortage of construction materials, in which priority is given to materials for key national and provincial projects.
The Department also guides localities to approve and grant licenses for exploration and exploitation of earth fill and construction stone mines. In Tuyen Quang city, the earth mines of Doi Can Cooperative have been licensed to exploit reserves of over 400,000 m3, and some mines being explored in An Khang, Luong Vuong or Kim Phu also have a total reserve of 5 million m3. At the same time, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment is currently guiding procedures to utilize land from excavation works to fill works, ensuring compliance with legal regulations.
To ensure that the disbursement rate of public investment capital in 2024 reaches over 95%, the Provincial People's Committee requires departments, branches and localities to focus more on management and implementation. In particular, it is necessary to change the mindset in leadership and management, in the process of organization and implementation, it is necessary to specify and individualize the responsibilities of the collective and individuals in each stage of work handling, not to allow the situation of pushing or avoiding responsibility, ensuring that work under the authority to resolve must be handled quickly, promptly, and shorten the implementation time.
Resolutely resolve problems related to site clearance and resettlement of projects, especially key projects such as Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang Expressway, Provincial General Hospital, road from My Lam Mineral Spring Tourist Area to National Highway 2D... Investors must urge contractors to concentrate labor and construction machinery, take advantage of favorable weather conditions to work in "3 shifts", develop disbursement plans for each month and quarter for each project, and use the disbursement results of each assigned project as the basis for evaluating the emulation of the unit and the level of task completion of the head.
In particular, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Son emphasized that it is necessary to resolutely handle and replace incompetent contractors, and not let the province's investment capital disbursement be affected by the contractors' weak capacity.
