Can mods create a dedicated forum for "New Clark City"? This huge metropolis will commence construction of buildings from 2018 already.

==================================================================================================

The National Government Center will house all national government agencies to provide a one-stop-shop for all the businesses located in the New Clark City and its vicinity. As a Disaster Risk and Recovery Center, it will also serve as back-up (redundancy) office in case of disaster / national calamities to provide continuous business and service by the National Government

The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has given Original Proponent Status (OPS) to MTD Capital Berhad for the development of a 60-hectare portion of the National Government Administrative Center (NGAC) in New Clark City, amounting to Php12.7 billion.

The issuance of a Certificate of Successful Negotiation that confers the OPS to MTD Capital Berhad also signals the opening of the competitive (Swiss) challenge for the said development.

Interested proponents may participate in the competitive challenge to be BCDA’s Joint Venture partner by submitting their letter of interest to apply for eligibility and submit a proposal to the BCDA Joint Venture Selection Committee for NGAC and purchasing the eligibility documents starting November 10, 2017.

Pursuant to the BCDA 2017 Joint Venture Guidelines, MTD Capital Berhad has the right to outbid the declared best proposal from the private sector challengers.

A Pre-Eligibility Conference will be held on November 24, 2017 at the BCDA Corporate Center. Submission of eligibility documents is scheduled on December 11, 2017. BCDA is set to announce the final winner in January 2018.

MTD Capital Berhad submitted its unsolicited proposal earlier this year. Among the salient features in its proposal are the construction of an extension office of the Philippine President and executive buildings, site development for embassies and international schools, construction of housing for government employees, building sports facilities, a central communications and security command center, public schools, a government hospital, a public library, and community centers.

The National Government Administrative Center is envisioned to house satellite offices of various government agencies. The future development will include an Integrated Operations Center and Disaster Risk and Recovery Center, which shall serve as a back-up (redundancy) facility to provide continuous business and service by the National Government. It will also house sports facilities, including housing for athletes for the national training center.

The Phase 1A of the establishment of the National Government Administrative Center is projected to be completed by the end of 2019.

New Clark City, BCDA’s most ambitious project to date, is a new metropolis that will rise within the Clark Special Economic Zone, in Capas and Bamban, Tarlac. It is envisioned to be the country’s first and only smart and green city, which will feature mixed-use real estate developments, an agro-industrial park, and a food processing terminal.

The New Clark City complements other BCDA big-ticket projects namely, the Clark International Airport expansion and the Subic-Clark Cargo Railway, aimed at providing interconnectivity in the whole archipelago, and provide an efficient mass transportation for Filipinos.

MANILA, Philippines — The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) is teaming up with Kepco Philippines Corp. (Kephilco) for a feasibility study on the development of a smart city energy management system in New Clark City.

BCDA said the partnership intends to create a non-binding framework for both parties to discuss and explore collaborative opportunities for the construction, operation and maintenance of the smart city energy management system.

Through the smart city energy management system, BCDA plans to optimize the use of basic utilities such as power in making New Clark City a smart and modern city with fast interconnection, stable and reliable power supply.
“This complements high-impact infrastructure projects in Clark, including railways to ease traffic and provide interconnectivity in the whole city,” the state-owned corporation said.
Kephilco is an affiliate of Korea Electric Power Corp. (Kepco) which is mandated to enter into and engage in the business of developing and operating power generation facilities, as well as utilizing the smart grid or micro grid technology in New Clark City.
In 2016, Kepco was named the world’s best company in the electric utility sector and was ranked first in the top 100 Asian power company by Forbes Global 2000.
Kepco has projects in 24 countries including Japan, China, US and the Middle East.
BCDA said South Korea’s expertise in smart city development, which prioritizes a low carbon and green growth society, makes it a great example for BCDA’s development projects in Clark.
