HCM City to auction tidal flood-control contracts
The Prime Minister has agreed in principle to allow the HCM City administration to apply bidding selection forms in special cases under Article 26 of the Law on Bidding to select a contractor for a tidal flood control project for the city. Under Article 26, in special cases of bidding selection, the city shall prepare a plan for selection of the contractor and submit it to the PM for consideration and decision. The contractor under the consultancy and supervision bidding package will implement the first phase of the tidal flood-control project in HCM City with consideration of climate change factors under the build-transfer model. The PM has authorised the Chairman of city’s People’s Committee to work with the Ministry of Planning and Investment for the bidding selection process in accordance with the bidding law, and the city must be responsible for its decision. The city must ensure that the selected contractors meet the requirements of capacity and experience required by the bidding package, including quality in terms of technical, schedule, cost and economic efficiency.
