The port authority will receive bids until May 23 for the tender, once again,   of the design, construction, operation and maintenance of Aguadulce port.

The Panama Maritime Authority tried to tender last year the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a port terminal in Aguadulce, Cocle province. However, although there were 19 companies interested in the project, the tender was declared void because none of them formalized a proposal.

The port manager has set May 23 as the new date for receipt of proposals for tender 2015-2-03-0-02-LV-004 472 , from 8:30 am and 10:00 am in the meeting room of the AMP, in Diablo Heights, for an estimated value of $53.5 million.

As in last year’s contest, the format will be “best value tender” and the concession will be granted for a period of 20 years. The winner will have three years in which to develop the first phase of the project
