DUMAGUETE CITY, Oct. 2 (PIA) -- The full span concrete bridge connecting barangays Batinguel and Bagacay along the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) office here will open for bidding on Oct. 10.
Dumaguete City Bids and Awards Committee confirmed this following the pre-bid conference participated in by several construction firms to clarify matters before they ultimately decide to make the bid for the P43.6-M infrastructure.
Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo said the proposed second bridge traversing Banica River will replace the old spillway so that it can be utilized even during flooding.
The structure will be high and sturdy enough to keep all motorists and residents along the river banks safe, said Remollo.
About five construction firms participated in the pre-bid conference presided by BAC Chairman and City Legal Officer Manuel Arbon with prospective bidders including Uy Condev Corporation, PhilSouth Builders, Supreme Mega Structure Builders Inc., VVER Construction and Mighty Hok Summit Construction and Development Corp.
Construction firms who were not present during the pre-bid conference can still participate and submit their bids not later than Oct. 10.
The winning bidder must agree to the stipulation in the contract that the construction of the bridge be completed in 303 working days.
Meanwhile, mobilization in the construction of the bridge in Colon at the back of Foundation University has started with the possible removal of electric posts this week to further clear the work site.
The City Government and the administration of Brgy. Taclobo along with the engineers of the project will continue to consult the affected residents to address their concerns as the construction work continues. (jct/PIA7 Negros Oriental with reports from CPIO Dems Demecillo)
