A contractor who allegedly began site development work on a 3-hectare property of the provincial government in Tabunan, Bago, for the new Negros Occidental provincial jail even before the bids for the job were made yesterday did not show up for the bidding at the Provincial Administration Building in Bacolod City.

Engineer June Caberoy, acting secretary of the Provincial Bids and Awards Committee, said RA Construction did not enter any bids for the three items related to the site development that were bidded out yesterday.

Gov. Isidro Zayco had earlier said that if RA Construction joined the bidding and won, he would question it.

Caberoy said the winning bidder that offered the lowest bids for the aggregate sub base materials for the 3-hectare site and the equipment needed was DK Lacson Construction of Talisay.

The two other bidders were Jaime B. Ching Enterprises and Micro Asia Builders Corp.

The winning bidder for the labor component was Stevenson Capadocia of Murcia.

Other bidders were Jerry Francisco of Talisay and Marvin Nemenzo of Bacolod.*CPG
