Disqualification of Megawide group in Cebu airport bid sought

Manila: The Gotianun family’s Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC) is seeking the disqualification of the consortium of Megawide Construction Corp. and Bangalore-based GMR Infrastructure Ltd., the highest bidder for the P17.5-billion Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) project.
The conglomerate said the unsatisfactory performance record, financial woes, and questionable long-term commitment of GMR puts to risk the “rare opportunity” of creating a world-class airport, a claim refuted by a Mega-wide executive.
In a letter to the Pre-qualification, Bids and Awards Committee obtained by The STAR, FDC said it “could not remain silent after it had obtained publicly available information concerning the members of the consortium that submitted the highest financial proposal, particularly in relation to their capacity to realize this project.”
