The mayor, Moises Jardim do Ouro, councilors Gilsimar Silva and Ênio da Brígida inspected sections of works started in May by a construction company based in Bahia, finding that a “lack of planning” on the part of the company has caused “numerous inconveniences for residents”. On the Adalgisa road, where paving must be done, the president classified the situation as “abandonment”. The president told Só Notícias that the contractor removed the wooden bridge “ahead of time, the situation is abandoned, it is chaos for those who live there”. There have already been reports of a quagmire, a motorcycle accident and a lack of access for the garbage truck. "They are driving an extra 10 km around to gain access and, even so, it has caused disruption. The city hall could not have allowed the bridge to be removed without an action plan, they did it the way they wanted. If the city hall allowed it to be done that way, they made a mistake", he criticized.
Sinop: mayor inspects works, criticizes “poor planning”, “abandonment” and “lack of firmness on the part of the city hall”

The company was approved in a city hall tender and, in May, Mayor Roberto Dorner issued a work order for paving works in 13 sections, with R$38 million allocated. After the inspection, the mayor assessed that the contractor "is showing amateurism. It paid insurance of R$ 1 million (required in the tender to complete the works) but having insurance and not solving (works) is no use. Our revolt is the city hall's lack of firmness with this company. We are charging the city hall because it has the power to take disciplinary action against the company and the city hall", he criticized
"We kept in touch and the secretary (Works) informed us that there was a notification to the company CTA to resolve these problems and critical points but so far nothing. A work progress schedule was sent which is broken. And, after the notification, what are you going to do? As long as the city hall doesn't penalize the adventurous ventures, the others won't take works in Sinop seriously." "To resolve this, a stronger decision is needed from the city council, which has the power to act. We (councillors) do not have the power to stop the company from moving forward, but we are doing our part in monitoring and charging", he added.
Moises stated that the same contractor is working on the works on Chácara Planalto and other roads in a “very poorly planned way because they are opening a service front and are taking away the right to come and go, they have a period of 90 days, they are like an armadillo”.
The councilors were also inspecting the beginning of the asphalting works on Avenida Andre Maggi, carried out by another contractor based in Sinop, and will request information. "We saw that little gravel was placed and the pipe is thin. We think it is very thin, we are going to ask for projects to be analyzed", said the president of the chamber.
