DOTC set to postqualify bids for 2 key projects for the Metro Rail Transit (MRT)

Maintenance provider and magnetic ticket supply contracts at stake

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is about to conduct bid evaluation and post-qualification exercises for two key projects for the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 3 System, namely: the P712-Million MRT-3 System Temporary Maintenance Provider Project and the P 25-million Supply & Delivery of MRT-3 Magnetic Ticket Project.

According to their report, after opening the eligibility documents of three groups which vied for the one-year Maintenance project on June 3, 2013, the DOTC’s Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) found only one proponent, Autre Porte Technique (or “APT”) Global, Inc., to have qualified for the next stages of the bidding process.

DOTC spokesperson Migs Sagcal said that APT Global submitted a bid in the amount of around P 685 Million. Financial proposals of the two other interested groups were no longer opened after they were found to be ineligible.

The disqualified groups were Asiaphil Manufacturing Industries, Inc. in Joint Venture with Korea Railroad, which did not comply with sealing and marking requirements of Republic Act No. 9184 (the Procurement Law); and Commbuilders & Technology Philippines Corporation, which failed to submit a certificate of satisfactory performance.

“Unfortunately, it once more came down to two groups’ failure to comply with the bid requirements. Time and again, we have said that the DOTC-BAC can do nothing but to follow the Procurement Law, which prohibits it from exercising discretion” Sagcal added.

As for the magnetic ticket supply project, only the current MRT-3 contractor submitted a proposal during the bid opening conducted on May 30, 2013. The Transport agency disclosed that Banner Plasticard, Inc. offered to supply and deliver 4,252,000 magnetic tickets to the DOTC-MRT3 in the amount of P 25 million.

The financial proposals of the eligible bidders for both projects will now undergo detailed evaluation, after which their bids will be subjected to postqualification exercises.

The relatively short duration of these projects—one year for the Maintenance contract and thirty (30) days for the Ticket Supply contract—is partly due to the eventual buyout of the owner of the MRT-3 facilities pursuant to Executive Order No. 126 issued by President Benigno S. Aquino III last March, as well as the transition to an Automatic Fare Collection System (AFCS), now being bid out by the DOTC as a Public-Private Partnership Project, by the first quarter of 2015.

DOTC Seals Agreement for State-of-the-Art Aviation Safety Systems by 2015

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) made an agreement paving the way for a world-class aviation system in the Philippines, ensuring the availability of CNS/ATM (Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management) Systems within two-and-a-half years.
Under a Contract Amendment signed last week between the DOTC and the Sumitomo-Thales Joint Venture, the latter will immediately restart the construction of an air traffic management building and the supply of various components such as automation equipment and terminal radars, to enable the use of the satellite technology-based system.

The original contract between the parties was signed in December 2010, but was disallowed by the Commission on Audit (COA) in May 2011. After a review of its concerns, however, the COA lifted the disallowance in March 2013.

The DOTC and the Joint Venture then worked on the Contract Amendment in order to update the project timeline, scope of works, and prices, to allow the project to proceed.

The state-of-the-art CNS/ATM Systems will modernize aviation safety and security capabilities, increase airport capacity, and minimize flight delays and aircraft collisions by providing safety alerts and warnings, managing the use of the airspace and air traffic flow, and enhancing the communications and monitoring capabilities of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).

“This project will bring the country closer to the highest of international aviation safety standards. Ultimately, it will also result in more revenues for the government, bolster the country’s tourism goals, and lower pollution emission levels through efficient air traffic management,”said DOTC spokesperson Migs Sagcal.

Sagcal added that Secretary of Transportation and Communications Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya secured the joint venture’s reassurance that the CNS/ATM Systems will be fully in place within President Benigno S. Aquino III’s term, or by November 2015.

The CNS/ATM Systems Development Project was first conceptualized in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan, and will replace aging vital communications, surveillance, and air traffic control equipment at selected airports nationwide.

Healthy Shoes from DR. KONG PHILIPPINES Specialised Footwear

Enjoying the wonderful world of DR. KONG PHILIPPINES Specialised Footwear. It is my great pleasure to be invited to the intimate product introduction of Dr. Kong Philippines held last May 27 at Chef Laudico Guevarra's Restaurant, San Juan, Manila. 

DR. Kong is a line of “healthy” shoes from Hong Kong. They are the first to provide the innovative “Check & Fit” foot examination and insole fitting service. It is a free professional examination of foot provided to people of all ages.

DR. Kong recommend the most suitable and economical foot care products according to the customer’s feet. We offer shoes for children and adults, school bags, and foot care accessories.  Free and Professional Assessment of the foot is with the use of a pedometer. After the foot assessment, the most suitable foot care product will be recommended according to the condition of the customer’s feet.
 Mr. Raymond Ng Kwan Ying, Vice Pesident of Dr. Kong Holdings  Ltd.
“We Don’t Just Sell Shoes. We recommend the most suitable footwear for your foot condition.”

DR. KONG’s corporate culture was built upon a sense of mission - “Educate the public and remind them the importance of foot and spine care.” Dr. Kong spreads the information on foot care through various channels to achieve their great mission of “Bringing foot care to each and every household.”

Reports shows that the shoes we wear have a substantial impact on the load on the knee joints which can impair the quality of one’s life. A small abnormality in foot function can be the cause of and have a large impact on knee and other joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.
Most of us are blessed with healthy feet from the day we are born, but problems often arise with the development and abuse which we subject these feet to later in life by wearing inappropriate footwear. Statistic has shown that between 75% to 80% of the adult population has some form of foot problem and unfortunately, most people do not seek advice on it.

It is thus clear that footcare in the early formative years is vital to ensure that children grow with healthy feet, which may otherwise result in foot problems like flatfoot and rearfoot valgus (a condition in which the rear of foot tends to curve outwards at the ankle joint) as they move towards adulthood.

As we age, mobility is a major contributor to a satisfying life but foot ailments can be a contributor in making it difficult; if not impossible to work or participate in daily activities that can keep us active and healthy. Foot problem can lead to knee, hip and lower back pain that can also limit mobility. Most foot ailments stem from the cumulative effects of years of wear, tear and ‘abuse’ which we subject our feet to. Women have four times as many foot problems as men because they have a long history of wearing high heels and/or pointy toe shoes. In some cases foot ailments can be an early signal of more serious medical problems like arthritis or diabetes.

Remember if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your ankles, knees or hip joints. . . . . the direct cause may be the result of ill-fitting shoes.

Mr Raymond Ng founded Dr. Kong Footcare in 1999, with a mission to educate the public on the importance of foot health. Since its inception, it has grown rapidly; having expanded to 62 retail outlets in Hong Kong, 70 retail outlets in China and now arrive on Philippines shores .

Apart from the range of ready-to-wear shoes for the entire family, which are ultra comfortable, Dr. Kong Footcare also provides the unique “Check & Fit” foot examination service at no extra cost, to help educate customers about their feet condition, recommending and fitting their feet with the selection of suitable Dr. Kong’s standard insoles (applicable for most of the shoe designs) to fit into their choice of footwear.
The outlet is also stocked with a range of ready-to-wear shoes that are ultra comfortable for the entire family and professions related to the hospitality industry, airline crews & nursing:
