Strengthening the mechanization has met the quality of products in accordance new standards of the capital city. In particular, the Hanoi Green Tree Park Company, a leading unit of applying the mechanization in carrying out the city’s public services, has been equipped with 12 forklifts, 2 cranes, 4 tree crushers, walkie talkies, reflective clothes, etc. Therefore, the tree trimming task has been implemented more scientifically. In 2016, the Company cut, trimmed nearly 50,000 trees.
Similarly, the Hanoi Urban Environment Company has promoted the mechanization in waste collection, treatment. The company replaced waste collection machines, equipped more tens of road sweepers, contributing to saving labor and production cost, overcoming environmental pollution.
To improve the quality of public service supply, Hanoi has widely implemented bidding form instead of ordering mechanism with state enterprises. In spite of being operated since October 1, 2016, from the beginning of 2017 until now, the Center for Public Asset Procurement and Financial Consultancy Services under the Department of Finance has organized the biddings for 25 out of 30 tender packages on environmental sanitation maintenance.
The centralized bidding throughout the Capital city has contributed to improving transparency, publicity in selecting contractors who will supply public services and ensure healthy competition, equality among economic sectors. Hanoi People’s Committee has directed and implemented some appropriate solutions to improve efficiency in using funds for maintenance of parks, trees and environmental sanitation.
