MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has prequalified 3 groups in the bidding for the P35.4-billion expressway that will link the provinces of Cavite and Laguna.

DPWH assistant secretary Eugenio Pipo Jr. announced Monday, November 4 that Team Orion of Ayala Corporation, Optimal Infrastructure Development Inc. of San Miguel Corporation, and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation prequalified to bid for the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (Calax) project.

Another group, Alloy MTD Capital, was given 3 days to submit certain requirements: a certification of construction experience and name of design contractor.

The 4 groups submitted prequalification documents for Calax last October 23.

The 47-kilometer expressway will start from the Cavitex in Kawit, Cavite and end at SLEX-Mamplasan in Biñan, Laguna. It will consist of 9 interchanges – at Kawit, Daang Hari, Governor’s Drive, Aguinaldo Highway, Silang, Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Laguna Blvd., Technopark, and a toll barrier before SLEX.

The project is DPWH’s third under the Public-Private Partnership program, the centerpiece of the Aquino administration’s development goals. The administration launched the program in 2010 with the aim of creating vital infrastructure that will sustain the country’s economic growth.

A total of 18 companies initially expressed interest in Calax– Rappler.com
