Suwon will accelerate the issuance of major construction projects planned for this year to inject vitality into the sluggish regional economy. Accordingly, the city plans to issue more than 90% of 223 construction projects (163.61 billion won) confirmed as new projects for 2008 during the first half of the year.
According to the city, of the 223 construction projects (163.61 billion won) with confirmed initial budget allocations for 2008, 44% (98 projects) will be issued in February. A total of approximately 60 projects (52.6 billion won) will be issued this month, including dredging work for sewerage tunnels in the Yeongdong-dong area around Mangpo and Industrial Complex (9.2km) into which 500 million won in total project costs will be invested.
The city will also issue a road construction project for a 470-meter section (3.13 billion won) at the entrance to Cheoncheon Apartments in Yulcheon-dong, and will promote overpass construction near the Seoho Underground Pass in Gwonseon-dong and Seodun-dong. The Seoho overpass construction project will spend a total of 1.19 billion won to build a 49-meter-long overpass (1.5m to 2.5m wide) with two elevators installed for people with disabilities.
In March, the city plans to implement sewerage maintenance work in the Gwonseon-dong 1056 area (1km, 300 million won) and create the Hyangkyo-ro themed street from the Provincial Government intersection to the Jungdong intersection (870m, 3rd phase, 2.464 billion won). By the end of this month, the city will complete detailed design for a total of 76 projects (45.711 billion won) and begin full-scale construction.
The Water Works Division plans to issue drainage pipe maintenance work for a 2.4km section between Changhun Intersection and Gwanggyo Water Purification Plant in April, in line with the road expansion project schedule for the section from the Education Office intersection to Gyeonggi University entrance. The project cost is 950 million won. Additionally, in May, the city will issue a service contract (19 billion won project cost) for establishing a comprehensive water supply maintenance plan.
The city plans to advance the issuance of a total of 78% (174 projects) by next month and complete 94% (209 projects) by the first half of the year to expedite construction work in the second half. The city has organized 60 municipal and district office staff into joint design teams by the end of this month to facilitate early issuance of these projects. The joint design teams will share responsibilities for work necessary for early issuance, including on-site surveys and measurements, drawing preparation and quantity calculation, design standards preparation, and design specifications.
An official at the Construction Department said, "We are proceeding with early issuance as a principle for both construction-related carryover projects and new projects. We have made thorough preliminary preparations to revitalize the regional economy, so most construction work will be issued during the first half of the year."
Meanwhile, the projects planned by the city this year consist of 223 projects in total: 76 city hall projects (including 11 design service projects), 44 division projects (9 projects), and 103 district office projects (10 projects).
