Edsa busway, ferry projects attract bidders

MANILA -Several consulting firms signified interest to conduct a feasibility study and other project preparation works for the Edsa Busway System and the Manila Bay-Pasig River-Laguna Lake Ferry (Mapallaf), according to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center of the Philippines.

In a statement over the weekend, the PPP Center said four international and local consulting firms submitted technical and financial proposals for each project last Friday.

This was in line with the technical assistance agreement inked by the PPP Center and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) on April 5. The deal includes the provision of project preparation and transaction advisory services for both projects.
