MCG sets new norms for project approvals, contractor payments
Gurgaon: MCG on Friday took a slew of decisions regarding contractor payments and project approvals. MCG officials made it clear that the commissioner would not grant ex-post facto (from a thing done afterward) approvals, saying all necessary approvals must be secured prior to commencing work.
The officials established a new protocol for payment delays, directing contractors to first report such cases to their union rather than immediately pursuing legal action. The union would then be responsible for forwarding these cases to the MCG for resolution.
Regarding bill payments, the MCG Contractors Union head said that the civic body officials said "there will be no delays" and assurance to that effect was given.
"Officials told us not to delay work and said that timely completion and quality of work will prevent payment issues. They also told the contractors to inform the union before any case goes to court and the union will present it to the commissioner for resolution," he said.
On Friday, the union met with commissioner Pradeep Dahiya to request a 21-day timeline for processing payment files of completed projects. During the meeting, the MCG officials also discussed the responsibilities of contractors during the monsoon season, stressing the importance of "proper execution to prevent waterlogging issues in the city".

The MCG officials also said junior engineers must document their site visit frequency during project execution. Union head Manish Saidpur said, "We asked the MCG commissioner to set a 21-day timeframe for payment files. All work will now be conducted on the Haryana Engineering Works Portal (HEWP), with bills processed from start to finish on HEWP."
Saidpur said, "Regarding objections on files, the commissioner told us that the SOP must be completed and any issues should be communicated through the union. The commissioner instructed us to inform chief engineer Vijay Dhaka about the old payments."
