Currently, the Medium-term Public Investment Plan for the period 2021-2025 (including the targeted support budget of the Central Government and the provincial budget) has been fully allocated, there is no more capital to arrange for projects outside the list approved by the Provincial People's Council. Therefore, for the above proposals, we respectfully request the Provincial People's Committee to assign the Nghi Loc District People's Committee to coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to review the current status, determine the urgency of the project to synthesize into the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026-2030 in the spirit of Official Dispatch No. 6039/UBND-KT dated July 18, 2024 of the Provincial People's Committee; in urgent cases requiring early implementation, we request the Nghi Loc District People's Committee to coordinate with the Department of Finance to report to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration of support from other provincial budget sources outside the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021-2025 (provincial budget reserve source, increased revenue source, ...).

-Voters of Thach Giam town, Tuong Duong district reported that the current water source serving the daily needs of the people of the entire Thach Giam town is not enough, because the water reserves in the streams are gradually depleted; the population in the area after the merger (2020) is very large, the water storage of Nghe An Water Plant Branch in Tuong Duong district does not ensure the area and quality. It is recommended that investors build a water plant to ensure the needs of the people.

The investment project to build a water plant to produce and supply clean water to the people using the investor's equity and capital mobilized from credit institutions must organize a bidding to select an investor according to the provisions of the law on bidding (not subject to approval of investment policy according to the provisions of the law on investment). Therefore, based on the socio-economic development needs of the locality, the People's Committee of Tuong Duong district organizes the preparation of a project proposal dossier including the contents specified in points b, c, d, dd and e, Clause 2, Article 47 of the Law on Bidding, and submits it to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for approval of information on the business investment project, as a basis for organizing a public bidding to select an investor according to the provisions of the law on bidding.
