The Philippine government has awarded the contract to rehabilitate Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 (NAIA-1) to DMCI Holdings, Inc.
“We have awarded the rehabilitation of NAIA-1 to DMCI,” said at the sidelines of the launch of the Philippine National Railways' service between Tutuban station in Manila and Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The infrastructure conglomerate submitted the best bid for the P1.64-billion (US$37 million) contract, according to Joseph Emilio A. Abaya, Secretary of Transportation and Communications. The Consunji-led holding firm bested 2 other bidders -- Hillmarc's Construction Corp. and EEI Corp. -- during the auction held last Dec. 20, he added.
The project involves architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical works, he explained.
“Once we will have issued the notice to proceed, they (DMCI) can start early next year, maybe [in the] first week of January,” Mr. Abaya said.
He said the project could be completed by December 2014.
“We are really behind, but that is our target,” Mr. Abaya said.
