Only One Bidder For the Liberia Airport Expansion
Only one company, the Houston Airport System Development Company (HASDC), has made an offer to build and operate the new passenger terminal at the Daniel Oduber Quirós airport in Liberia. The HASDC is the same firm interested in completing the work at the Juan Santamaría, San José airport.
According to Karla González, ministra de Transportes, only the HASDC has made a bid for the work although 13 firms had shown interest.
The Oduber airport is in urgent need of an expandion due to the increased number of visitor arrivals and to allow airline counters and boarding gates to handle up to 1.500 passengers from the current 600.
González did not offer any explanation as to the lack of interest by other bidders, putting a positive spin on the situation, saying that if the Houston offer is accepted, the process of awarding the project will be much faster as there will be no other bidders who could possibly appeal the decision.
However, the reality may be different, as the government may be forced to cancel the bid the and start a new one.
The decision whether to accept the Houston offer will be known in about three weeks, as officials of the Aviación Civil y del Consejo Nacional de Concesiones review the offer. If the technical aspects of the offer are accepted, the process of financial analysis then begins.
When the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes (MOPT) put out the bid it estimated that the new terminal would cost us$18.9 million dollars and would take 12 months to complete. The details of the Houston offer where not revealed.
The MOPT hopes to have the construction of the new terminal underway by early 2009 and have it open by 2010
