According to the official report consulted by GlobeLiveMedia Mexicofor this project a total of 292 million 548 thousand 600 pesos. However, more than 22 million pesos (mdp) were overpaidin addition to the fact that there were other inconsistencies during the execution of the work.

“It is confirmed that the works have started without having the Director in charge of the Works, the Co-Managers Structure, and the building permit, and to date the project is only in structure, unfinished and without sufficient budget for its continuation and its completion”, determined the ASF.
In addition to the above, the audit with folio 2021-0-13100-22-0330-2022 classified the causes of possible irregularities in the project as “deficient supervision and control of the works”. The apparent anomalies which could not be accredited by the Secretary of the Navy amount in total to 22 million 776 thousand 197.95 pesos of overpayments.
This amount would have been disbursed in at least six different exhibitions, according to the official ASF document:
1. Excess 3 million 201 thousand 974 pesos allusive to “indirect costsfor notions such as “Study and research tasks” — which were not carried out —, “Construction and maintenance of access roads” — which were not necessary, since the area in which the works already has different access points — and “Safety and Hygiene”.
2. Excess of 3 million 524 thousand 144.41 pesos due to the payment of 103% of the value of a treatment plant that was not installed or commissioned on site.
3. Leftovers 12 million 561 thousand 750.49 pesos concerning the item “supply and application of high-efficiency fire-retardant, intumescent and sublimating paint”. The irregularity in this aspect was that it was felt necessary to acquire more than four thousand 200 liter drums of paint for the walls of various hospital buildings. However, the ASF made a calculation based on the dimensions of the structure and determined that only 64 containers of 200 liters were really necessary. In other words, Semar calculated one million 66 thousand kilograms more paint than needed.
4. Excess 95 thousand 551.62 pesos for the concept of “Supply, arrangement and placement of losacero”, a metal mezzanine system, made of high-strength galvanized steel.
5. Surplus 495 thousand 271.70 pesos resulting from failures in the analysis, calculation and integration of the cost of financing.
6. Leftovers 2 million 897 thousand 505.73 pesos For unexecuted tasks such as the use of materials and the execution of works such as foundations, placing concrete, clearing and transporting materials, among other tasks.
Due to this accumulation of inconsistencies, the ASF considered that Semar could have suffered damages or losses for the Federal Treasury. After this audit, the military unit must, in case of follow-up of the observations, present the information alluding to the non-conformities and irregularities noted.
