Question:
How are local affairs administered in the country or jurisdiction? Is the township, or some other
form of local government responsible for roads? Is there an engineer responsible for such
functions as design, construction, and maintenance in the place in which you live or attend
school? If so, draw a typical organization chart for this engineering organization.

Answer:

NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
they are the one who are administering and funding the locally
funded projects that is governed by the Republic Act No. 9184, also
known as the Government Precurement Reform Act, and its
Implementing Rules and Regulation.

DEPARTMEN OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

for the roads and highways construction they are the one
that is assigned by the government to design, construct and
handle this project in the province before proceeding it to
the municipality of the site construction.
for the school building construction, as what I've learned in
the interview of our municipal engineer, the National
Government will cooperate first with the DepEd for the
approval and construction of the building before proceeding if
to the DPWH.

MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

for those project that are coming from the National
Government I have learned that the Municipal Engineer/s
helps in administering and managing the project, also they
give the permit to the DPWH if the project is approved or
not.
for the maintenance and small projects like barangay
projects, the Municipality will be the one funding and
managing the project as what our Municipal Engineer said.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS
with the help of the National Government's funding and
DepEd's approval, they will be the one to design, construction,
manage the project and communicate with the municipality
where the construction of school building is located to ask
permission and approval.

MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

will be the one approving and giving permit to the DPWH if
BARANGAY OFFICIALS the desired project is appropriate, also they will help in
managing and construction of the project.
will follow the notice given by Municipal
Engineering Department and also will help
in the administering and managing of the
ongoing project.
BARANGAY OFFICIALS
will follow the notice given by Municipal
Engineering Department and also will help in
the administering and managing of the
ongoing project.

This Organizational Chart is just based on what I have understand on the interview of the
Municipal Engineer here in Jagna, Bohol. Giving an interview or a survey to someone reliable is
one of my best option other than researching because the question talks about the town itself
that is why I resorted on giving an interview with our Municipal Engineer in our place Jagna to
have a better and a little accurate info to be presented and some researches.
Here is a specified flow of the Infrastructure Development Cycle:
In the DPWH, the development of infrastructure projects (e.g. roads, bridges, flood control
facilities and water supply) follows a cycle process consisting of four phases as follows:
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
It is the process of collecting potential projects with expected return of investments.
PROJECT PREPARATION
    a. Project Feasibility Study
        The feasibility study consists of various investigations and tests necessary to determine
whether the project   can and should be carried out and if, so, how and when?
    b. Inclusion in the Medium-Term
        If the project meets the above feasibility criteria, it is considered for inclusion in the
medium-term infrastructure program for the period of six years.
    c. Fund Appropriation
        Based on the medium-term infrastructure program, appropriations for the projects are
authorized thru legislation.
    d. Detailed Engineering
        Detailed engineering of a project under the medium term program is undertaken in
preparation for actual implementation under the annual infrastructure programs.
    e. Inclusion of Project in Annual Program: Programming
Projects proposed for inclusion in the annual infrastructure program are a) those that rank high
in priority within the medium-term program, and b) those that are technically ready for actual
implementation during the year (i.e. with substantially completed detailed engineering).
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
a. Fund Releases       
          Immediately after the NEDA Board approves the annual infrastructure program in
early November, the DBM issues the Advice's of Allotment (AAs) for the projects in the program
on a comprehensive basis.        
b. Right-Of-Way Acquisition 
          The right-of-way of any infrastructure project, such as road, should be acquired ahead of
construction in order not to impede the work.      
c. Bidding and Contracting   
          In line with the policy of the government to rely on the private sector as the main engine
of economic development, infrastructure projects are generally undertaken by contract after
public bidding.
d. Construction          
          Actual construction work is carried out through the Project Management Office (PMO)
and the Regional/District Offices.      
e. Completion and Acceptance         
  Project completion is the transition from the development to the operational stage.
Completion reports and as-built plans are prepared for the submission to the implementing
office heads, to management, and to    funding institutions.           
f. Payment      
          Due and demandable claims are processed by the DPWH either at the Central, Regional or
District level, in accordance with existing government budgeting, accounting and auditing rules
PROJECT OPERATION AND EVALUATION
    a. Operational and Maintenance
National roads and bridges, major flood control structures, and related facilities of national
importance remain under the responsibility of the DWPH during the operational phase.  The
Regional and District undertake the maintenance of the facilities generally by administration.
    b. Impact Evaluation
         Impact evaluation or post-project appraisal is an attempt to assess the results of a project
and, as a function of the results, of the means employed to achieve them.
