The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) has extended the deadline for the submission of bids for the $76 million Land Transportation Office information technology system project for the second time to give interested companies more time to prepare their bids.
Transportation Undersecretary Jose Perpetuo Lotilla said moving the submission and opening of bid proposals to April 8 instead of March 19 would give bidders more time to prepare their documents.
The project involves the customization, development, integration, procurement, supply, delivery, installation, implementation, service and maintenance of the information and communications technology system of the agency.
The winning bidder would design and implement the required databases; establish or set up the LTO Data Center; supply, deliver, test, document, and install appropriate computing products and other resources relative to the implementation of the project on DOTC or LTO-IT infrastructure and environment facilities; and deliver all hardware peripherals with software and corresponding licenses in the name of DOTC and warranties to efficiently run the system.
Once the system is put in place, the DOTC said it would be easier for authorities to recover stolen vehicles, trace smuggled vehicles, prevent double registration, and monitor unregistered vehicles.
The agency added that the project would implement a server-based solutions based on an existing system that covers the motor vehicle registration system; drivers' licensing system; law enforcement and traffic adjudication system; revenue collection system; and executive information system.
