The bidding for the P 17.5-Billion Mactan-Cebu International Airport Project has been scheduled for November this year according to the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), giving bidders almost two (2) months to prepare more competitive proposals for the project.
“The bid submission date is set on November 15, 2013. We have been working hard to find the balance between government and private sector interests. This gives sufficient time for the bidders to finalize their proposals,” said DOTC Spokesperson Migs Sagcal.
In the meantime, the DOTC will seek the approval of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) to make certain changes in the terms of the project, such as extending the concession period from 20 years to 25 years, and transferring the liability for the payment of certain real property taxes to government. These changes were prompted mainly by the results of the one-on-one meetings conducted by the transport agency’s Special Bids and Awards Committee (SBAC) over the past few months.
