CH invites bidders to P66.6M legislative bldg. repair works
CEBU City Hall is now inviting contractors to bid for the first phase renovation of the old legislative building next month.
The project’s approved budget contract for the first phase is pegged at P66.6 million, which will be taken from the local development funds for 2003 and 2004, and the third supplemental budget for 2003.
According to a paid invitation to bid published in a local daily last Wednesday, the contract covers the supply of labor and materials for the general requirements, earthworks and demolition, concrete works, steel reinforcement, steel decking, structural steel, roof and roof framing system, masonry works, doors and windows, plumbing works, electrical works and structured cabling, fire protection and mechanical works.
The General Services Office will accept letters of intent from prospective bidders and issue eligibility forms until Feb. 22.
120 days
The issuance of bid documents will be on Feb. 28. Site inspection is set on March 1. The pre-bidding conference will be on March 3 and the receipt and opening of bids will be on March 17.
The winning bidder is expected to complete the project within 120 days from receipt of the notice to commence from Mayor Tomas Osmeña.
The City Council approved last December the program of works and estimates for the P72.7-million project, three years after the legislative department planned its renovation.
The council conceived the project in 2002 and solicited the help of the University of San Carlos-Institute of Planning and Design, which received P2.15 million from the Cebu City Government as “financial aid” for the drafting of plans and design.
The old City Hall building was built in 1948 and finished in 1950. Considered as a landmark, it has “remained to date as the City’s most symbolic seat of power,” the council said.
layout
According to the layout, the City Council office will be at the fourth floor, while the chapel will be at the third floor.
All councilors, including ex-officio members, will each have an office with separate cubicles for their respective staff members.
There will be four committee rooms aside from conference rooms.
There will also be a pre-session room aside from the session hall, where the gallery is positioned behind the councilors’ chairs.
Currently, the galleries are at the councilors’ sides, providing a good view of their faces and their expressions as they deliberate on measures presented on the floor. (GAC)
