The Liberty Builders has submitted a motion for reconsideration before the Bids and Awards Committee Saturday after it failed to qualify in the bid for the construction of the new government center for Bacolod City, City Legal Officer Allan Zamora said yesterday.

Zamora said he expects that there would be more who will seek reconsideration this week. He said the BAC will resolve their motion within seven days.

BAC chairman Goldwyn Nifras said he was informed that the J.H. Pajara Construction Corp. might also submit a motion for reconsideration. He said he has yet to receive the motion filed by Liberty Builders but was only informed about it by City Administrator Lorendo Dilag.

Only Hilmarc's Construction Corp. passed the criteria of the BAC out of the nine bidders that have presented their conceptual designs for the proposed government center for Bacolod City on Oct. 20. The designs are now being displayed at the hallway of the City Mayor's Office.

The other bidders are Tokwing Construction, WT Construction Inc., R-H Builders Inc., Young Builders Inc., Pragmatic Development Corp., and J.M. Luciano Construction Inc.

Nifras said the Technical Working Group, which was tasked to handle the checking of the bid documents and eligibility requirements of the bidders, has recommended Hilmarc's Construction Corp. among the others.

He said the others failed to submit the required documents of their key personnel and proof of ownership of various equipment. Secretary to the Mayor Roger Balo said all the contractors were provided a list of bid requirement but they failed to comply.*CGS
