MANILA, Philippines – Pursigido ang Turkish airport operator na Limak Group sa pag-take over ng rehabilitasyon sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Ayon kay Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista nitong Lunes, Nobyembre 6, inaasahan nilang nasa walo ang posibleng bidder sa pangangasiwa at pangangalaga ng nasabing paliparan.
“We are now in the process of one-on-one meeting with them. We are responding to their questions, their queries,” pahayag ni Bautista sa isinagawang EJAP Infrastructure Forum.
“We want them to submit their proposal because we have given them the bidding document, the terms of reference that they will need to follow as far as the bidding is concerned, and we hope that all of them will submit their best and final offer by December 27,” dagdag niya.
Ayon sa website, ang Limak Group ay sangkot din sa maintenance ng Kemerovo International Airport Domestic Terminal Building, Chelyabinsk International Airport Domestic Flights Terminal, at Volgograd International Airport Domestic Flights Terminal sa Russia, at Senegal Dakar Blaise-Diagne International Airport sa Senegal.
Maliban sa Limak Group, nagpasa rin ng dokumento para sa bidding ang Asian Airport Consortium, Cengiz Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S, GMR Airports International, Manila International Airport Consortium, San Miguel Holdings Corp., Spark 888 Management, at ang pinakahuli ay ang Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC)ng South Korea.
Itinakda ang deadline para rito sa Disyembre 27, at ang evaluation ay inaasahan sa first quarter ng 2024.
Ang financial closing naman ay inaasahang magaganap sa second quarter ng susunod na taon.
“Financial closing is very important because the winning bidder will have to pay an upfront fee as part of the terms of reference. They need to give us or pay the government an upfront fee of P30 billion,” ani Bautista. RNT/JGC
