Five of the seven firms that submitted bid documents for the design, engineering, and construction of the new terminal building at Clark International Airport (CRK) have qualified for the next phase of the bidding process.

These are China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd.; China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd.; Sinohydro Corporation Limited; the joint venture of Megawide-GMR Infrastructure (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.; and Tokwing Construction Corporation.

Lead agencies Department of Transportation and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority said the technical proposals of the eligible firms were opened on December 7. Qualified bidders will then move on to the next phase of the bidding, which is the opening and evaluation of the financial documents, scheduled for December 14.

The engineering, procurement and construction contract will be awarded to the winning bidder on December 15, 2017.

The CRK’s new terminal building will break ground on December 20 at the Clark Civil Aviation Complex in Pampanga. The P12.5-billion project is expected to be completed in 2020.

CRK is set to be an alternate global gateway in the country, and will complement other high-impact legacy projects in the Central Luzon Region under the administration’s Build Build Build Infrastructure Program, such as the Subic-Clark Cargo Railway, Manila-Clark Railway, and the New Clark City—a smart, green, and modern city that will rise in Capas and Bamban, Tarlac.
