Wazzup Pilipinas!
Following a pre-bid conference and the first round of one-on-one meetings held earlier this week, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is optimistic that the bidding for its biggest Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project will receive the same resounding response as its tenders in 2013.
All four (4) original bidders from last year’s failed bidding of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension (CAVEX) Project joined the bid activities and reaffirmed their continuing interest in the project. These are: DMCI Holdings, Inc., Light Rail Manila (LRM) Consortium, MTD Philippines, Inc., and SMC Infra Resources, Inc.
In addition, the Ayala group has rejoined Metro Pacific in the LRM Consortium. New players Globalvia Inversiones of Spain and Megawide Construction Corporation have also indicated interest in the tender.
