The Bases Conversion and Development Authority and the Department of Transportation started the bidding process for the operations and maintenance contract of the Clark International Airport, the next major gateway to the country.
The BCDA and the DOTr published an invitation to bid in major broadsheets Monday following the approval of the P5.61-billion Clark International Airport Expansion Project and Operations and Maintenance PPP Concession by the National Economic and Development Authority Board.
The bidding documents for the project will be available on May 7.
BCDA president and chief executive Vivencio Dizon said the O&M contract would likely be awarded by August.
Upon contract awarding, the O&M concessionaire will take over the management and operations of the passenger terminal and the new terminal building after itscompletion and successful commissioning.
“The new terminal is going to open in the first half of 2020. It’s on track. We have no indications of delay,” said Dizon.
