GDI holds bid opening for the last foundation of Island Hospital

Representatives of the Infrastructure Development Office open tenders for a construction for the Islands District Medical Complex

The Infrastructure Development Office (GDI) yesterday held the bid opening session for the last foundation of the first phase of the Central Laboratory of Island Medical Complex.
The first phase of Macau’s second public hospital will feature six buildings, of which the foundations of two buildings have already been completed.
The deadline for bidding submission was on Wednesday and GDI revealed that there are 19 bidders in the current tender process.
According to the government’s Official Gazette, the participation requirements for the bidding are: to be listed as individual entities by the Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau. Bidders should also have applied for or renewed their registration with the bureau.
The criteria for assessing the proposal are price; duration of the construction work; work plan; experience and quality of previous work; and integrity and honesty, which account for 60 percent, 3 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent and 12 percent respectively.
Tomás Hoi, engineering chief officer of GDI, stressed that the construction work will create approximately 60 employment opportunities. As the maximum execution time for the project is 300 working days, Hoi is confident that the project will be completed next year.
“We expect that the work will start in the fourth quarter of 2016 [up] to the third quarter of 2017,” he told the Times.
The Health Bureau stated last year that the hospital complex, which will be located east of Estrada do Istmo in Cotai, might be delayed as the initial designs for the project have been expanded.
Since the hospital’s plans have been changed to add more beds and increase the number of operating theaters, the project is likely to face delays due to the complexity of the project’s design and planned infrastructure.
Occupying a total of 77,500 square meters of reclaimed land to the northeast of Seac Pai Van Reservoir in Coloane, the construction of the region’s second public hospital has already suffered several delays. Lynzy Valles
