State-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has awarded
the remaining vacant lot at the institutional area of Bonifacio Global
City (BGC) to the lone bidder, De La Salle University (DLSU).
“After conducting a detailed evaluation of the bid proposal
submitted by DLSU, BCDA has determined that the same satisfied all the
requirements set in the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the bidding,”
according to the bulletin dated Aug. 8 but which Nena D. Radoc, head of
the agency’s Asset Disposition Program (ADP), said over the weekend was
posted only “recently.”
“Hence, BCDA hereby declares the aforesaid bid proposal from DLSU as the
highest-ranked bid (lone complying bid) and shall, therefore, subject
the same to a post-qualification procedure as prescribed in the ToR.”
BCDA -- the state agency entrusted with the sale and development of
former military lands -- auctioned off the 1,395-square-meter lot for a
minimum lease offer of P3.948 million per year.
“Our board has approved our (ADP’s) recommendation to award the contract
to the lone complying bidder,” Ms. Radoc said via text, adding that the
board held its meeting last Sept. 11.
She added that DLSU was the only one that submitted a proposal out of
three firms that bought ToRs. “STI College and Everest Academy also
bought ToRs but they decided not to push through with the bidding. I
don’t know why. Only DLSU submitted a proposal for P3.948 million,” she
said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Officials of the schools were not available for comment.
Ms. Radoc said the lot is the last area allotted for schools in BGC,
which currently houses International School Manila, British School
Manila, Manila Japanese School and STI College-Global City.
