Grant Description

On February 13, 2008, the Peruvian Ministry of Health and the Beijing Architectural Design Institute, on behalf of the Peruvian and Chinese governments respectively, signed a design contract for the expansion of the Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital (Diseño para el Proyecto de Ampliación del Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza, captured in Record ID#56926).

The contract was worth 8% of the total project cost, ultimately estimated to be 2.88 million RMB, although it was initially valued at 3.6 million RMB.

The funds were drawn from the grant provided by the Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) signed between the two governments on January 17, 2003 (Record ID#73148). The hospital expansion project itself was agreed to in Letters of Exchange signed on March 30, 2007.

The design contract stipulates that the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design will create construction plans for the additional portion of the hospital to be built, sending a design team of four to Peru to do so. They also agreed to send a representative of the design team to Peru during the actual construction.

The building's purpose was to house a new General Intensive Care Unit, a Intermediate Care Unit, a Blood Bank, a Sterilization center, and a Nutrition center.

📋 Staff Comments

Transaction amount is calculated using the formula outlined in the design contract itself, taking 8% of 36 million, the stated cost of the project in the construction contract. The construction contract can be found in the source 'Resolución Directoral 011-2011-DGIEM.' It not entirely clear from the two contracts' language if the design contract's cost is included in the 36 million RMB construction contract cost. However, the language 'The price above [36 million RMB] refers to the total price of the work carried out by the Chinese Party according to what is stipulated in this contract' is enough to imply the costs are separate, given that, although the design contract is listed as a 'foundational' document, the portion of the construction contract listing responsibilities of the Chinese government does not include design responsibilities (quote translated, Contrato de Construccion del Proyecto de 'Amplicación del Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza' in 'Resolución Directoral 011-2011-DGIEM').
