Description

The Bogotá Chamber of Commerce monitors 31 infrastructure projects for mobility in Bogotá and the surrounding region, which involve 81 contracts at various stages of implementation: studies and design, feasibility, pre-feasibility, pre-construction, and construction. Here you can track the progress of the projects and their impact on job creation.

The “Percentage Completed” indicator reflects the physical progress of the contracts. “Total Completed” corresponds to the sum of the product of the percentage completed and the respective current value of each contract. The schedule variance corresponds to the difference between the percentage completed and the scheduled percentage: if the difference is negative, the project is behind schedule; if it is positive, the project is ahead of schedule.

The traffic-light system established for monitoring assigns the color green (optimal) when the difference between the percentage completed and the percentage scheduled is greater than or equal to zero—that is, on schedule or ahead of schedule; yellow (warning delay) when the difference is negative up to −5 percentage points, in which case the contract is closely monitored; and red (critical delay) when the difference is less than −5 percentage points, a situation that requires a formal alert and urgent recommendations. When any of the necessary data is missing, the contract is classified as “Unclassifiable.”

For example, Transmilenio Soacha Phases II and III (−4.99 percentage points) is classified as yellow, and the Regiotram de Occidente (−18.99 percentage points) as red.
