In a statement yesterday, the BCDA affirmed receipt of the multi-billion pesos unsolicited proposal from the consortium which appointed Changi Airport International as its technical partner for the long-term development of the CIA.
Garry A. Cativo, BCDA corporate communications officer, said DOTr and BCDA will thoroughly review the legal, technical, and financial aspects of the proposal within a specified timeline and strict deadline based on the required processes and regulations.
The said consortium made its unsolicited proposal in a disclosure to the stock exchange on November 14.
Meanwhile, DOTr and BCDA are on track with the bidding for the construction of a new passenger terminal building in the CIA wherein 12 local and foreign fi rms bought bid documents.
The awarding of the contract to the winning bidder is on December 15 while the deadline for submission of bids is on December 5.
The development of the Clark airport is a joint project of DOTr and the BCDA which is envisioned to be an alternate global gateway in the country.
The creation of a new, world-class passenger terminal in the airport is projected to add passenger capacity by 8 million per year.
The CIA complements other big-ticket projects under the “Build Build Build program” of the Duterte administration such as the Manila – Clark railway, New Clark City and the Subic-Clark Cargo Railway.
The Build Build Build infrastructure program invests in high-impact legacy projects that will usher in the golden age of infrastructure in the country.
It is the government’s long-term solution to the country’s lack of infrastructure, spread growth and investments to the countryside.
It also addresses the growing problem of urban congestion in Metro Manila.
These developments are also envisioned to be completed within President Rodrigo Duterte’s term.
