Board Member Cesar Tomas Lopez condemns the provincial government’s P168-million bidding of a brand new fleet of heavy equipment. Lopez says that the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) has failed to comply with key provisions of the procurement law.
According to Lopez, the bidding process conducted by the BAC practically indicated in the technical specifications of the equipment to be purchased the description of preferred brands. The board member said he likewise received text messages insulting the Capitol officialdom while others pointed out that the provincial government may save money if the BAC adheres to appropriate bidding procedures.
