THE Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) and the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) are inviting bids for the P17-billion Davao Sasa port project.
In a press statement, DOTC said the project will include a dedicated container handling facility, container yards and warehouses.
Bidders must pass a pre-qualifying stage before they can submit their technical and financial proposals for the project.
Maria Lourdes D. Lim, National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) regional director for Davao, is hoping the Davao Sasa Port project and the P40.57-billion upgrade of the Francisco Bangoy International Airport (FBIA) could be bid out within this year.
