MANILA - The government is laying the groundwork for the bidding of the second transport terminal in the south of Metro Manila.
In a general bid bulletin, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) set a November 4 deadline for submission of qualification documents for the P4-billion Integrated Transport System (ITS) South Terminal Project.
Five groups already bought bid documents for the project, including San Miguel Corp, Ayala Land Inc (ALI), Filinvest Land Inc (FLI), Megawide Construction Corp and Datem Construction.
The project will be located near the Food Terminal Inc, the development contract for which ALI earlier bagged.
The project will connect passengers coming from the provinces of Laguna and Batangas to other urban transport systems, such as the future North-South Commuter Rail, city buses, taxis and other public utility vehicles that serve the inner Metro Manila.
The terminal will include a passenger terminal building, arrival and departure bays, public information systems, ticketing and baggage holding facilities and park-ride facilities.
The winning bidder will build, operate and manage the said terminal for a concession period of 35 years.
