The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) announced that two firms submitted bid documents for the operations and maintenance (O&M) of the Clark International Airport’s existing passenger terminal, and the new terminal building operational by 2020.
The firms which submitted the bid documents are 1) X-Droid Consortium, members of which are Angkasa Pura II, Globalport 900, Mazy Capital and Desco, and 2) North Luzon Airport Consortium whose members are Filinvest Development Corporation, JG Summit Holdings, Inc., Philippine Airport Ground Support Solutions, Inc., and Changi Airport Philippines Pte. Ltd.
The Special Bids and Awards Committee (SBAC) will thoroughly evaluate the eligibility documents submitted November 9, Friday.
DOTr and BCDA are giving the public full access of the bidding activities through Facebook livestreaming, in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s firm directive to instill transparency throughout government processes and uphold a corruption-free government.
The O&M contract is targeted to be awarded by December 2018. The International Finance Corporation-World Bank is acting as lead transaction adviser to BCDA in the conduct of the bidding activities for the Clark International Airport project.
Upon award, the O&M Concessionaire will finance, design and complete all fitout for the existing and new passenger terminals.
The Clark International Airport is set to be the next premier gateway to Asia and will open in the first half of 2020. The airport’s new terminal building is the first of the Duterte administration’s hybrid infrastructure projects, and complements other high-impact legacy projects in Central Luzon such as New Clark City and the Subic-Clark Railway.
