From the Manila Bulletin (Nov 20): DND allots P216M to modernize PH Navy ship
In line with the on-going Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) upgrade and modernization, the Department of National Defense (DND) on Wednesday announced that it is allocating P216 million for the modernization of Philippine Navy’s BRP Artemio Ricarte (PS-37), one of the three Jacinto Class Patrol Vessels (JCPV).
BRP Ricarte was acquired by the Philippine government from the United Kingdom in August 1997.
Based on a notice released by the DND Bids and Awards Committee (BAC), the money being allocated for the project will be used to update the ship’s marine engineering upgrade.
This means development, design, operation, and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and on-board systems such as power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation, and control systems for marine vehicles.
The project is phase 2 of the JCPV upgrade with phase 1 being the installation of the new Raytheon gyro compass, Sperry Marine Naval BridgeMaster E Series Surface Search Radar, GPS, anemometer, and EM logs completed in 2005.
An invitation to bid published by the DND said interested parties must have completed a similar project within the last five years.
It added that winning bidders must be able to deliver the goods or required service within 180 calendar working days upon the opening of the letter of credit.
Pre-bid conference is set on Nov. 22 at the DND Bidding and Awards Committee Conference Room, Right Wing, Basement, DND Building, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
