The Negros Occidental provincial government has reset the bidding for its P1.2 billion bulk water project to October, Acting Provincial Administrator Alberto Nellas Jr. said Thursday, June 27.
The bidding was supposed to be held Thursday afternoon, but was moved to October following an agreement with the bidders, he said.
There were bidders who requested for an extension in order for them to come up with the best possible bid for the bulkwater project, Nellas said.
They had set the bidding on Thursday to accommodate a lone bidder who manifested the intention to bid. When the bidder did not drop his bid, they granted the extension requested by the rest of those intending to bid, Nellas added.*
