9 firms submit bids for rehab of Clark road

MANILA, Philippines - A total of nine firms submitted proposals for the improvement and rehabilitation of some 19.4-kilometers of existing roads leading to and within Clark Green City, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said.

In a statement, BCDA said the nine firms which submitted bids for the P78.3 million road project in Clark Green City are 4B Construction Corp., D.K. Jockson Construction, Haidee Construction, IPM Construction Corp., Leadway Construction, New Kanlaon Construction, Subiccon Corp., Tokwing Construction, and  Weirr Corp..

 “We are happy at the number of bidders who submitted their respective bids and look forward to award the contract to the firm with the best bid once the bids have all been evaluated,” BCDA president and chief executive officer Arnel Paciano Casanova said.

Once completed, the road improvement project would provide a greater level of accessibility to the Clark Green City site and allow vehicles to go to the area even during the rainy season.

 “By improving the existing roads, all types of vehicles, including heavy equipment will be able to effortlessly reach the area all year round,” he said.

Casanova has earlier pointed out the vital role which the enhanced roads will play in the development of the area as well as to its land value and attractiveness to interested investors and proponents.

The improved roads will service the development of Clark Green City’s Phase 1 which covers 288 hectares as well as the future site of University of the Philippines Campus and other institutional areas BCDA has forged with other government agencies.
