Note 2: Employment data applies only to contracts in the “In Progress” and “Suspended” statuses, during the construction and pre-construction phases.

Description

The Bogotá Chamber of Commerce monitors 29 infrastructure projects for mobility in Bogotá and the surrounding region, which involve 79 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 to positive values, the color yellow to negative values between 0% and 5%, and the color red to values greater than 5%.

Note: Employment data includes only contracts in the In Progress, Expired, and Suspended statuses, in the construction and pre-construction phases. Excluded are the study and design, feasibility, comprehensive structuring, and pre-qualification phases, as well as contracts in the Completed status.
