Local projects in Bislig, Iloilo, and Ormoc cities get Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) support for project preparation and transaction advisory (PPTA) services. The PDMF support covers the conduct of feasibility studies, project structuring, preparation of tender documents, management of the bid process, and assistance until financial close.
The three (3) local PPP projects approved for PDMF support last January 9, 2020 are the Bislig City Bulk Water Supply and Septage Project, the Iloilo City Integrated Solid Waste Management (SWM) Facility Project, and the Ormoc City Water Supply System Project.
The Bislig City Bulk Water Supply and Septage Project aims to provide sustainable potable water supply and proper sanitation to the existing and potential additional service areas of Bislig City Water District (BCWD). The project involves the development of a new water source, construction of bulk water supply and septage facilities, and the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the project.
Meanwhile, Iloilo City envisions to have a sustainable SWM solution (i.e., segregation, recovery, recycling, treatment, remediation, and possibly waste-to-energy) for its constituents through the Integrated SWM Facility Project. This project also intends to cater further the adjoining municipalities like Oton, Pavia, Leganes, Sta. Barbara and Dumangas.
The Ormoc City Water Supply System Project aims to provide the city’s constituents with a sustainable water supply where people can have 24/7 water access from a bulk water supply facility using a piped distribution network with adequate treatment facility and household taps. It involves sourcing of raw water supply and the construction and O&M of a water supply facility.
The PDMF is a revolving fund that supports pre-feasibility studies, feasibility studies, and other necessary pre-investment activities to help develop bankable PPP projects, as well as assistance for effective monitoring of PPP project implementation. Under the administration and management of the PPP Center, the PDMF provides government agencies with the required expertise and strategies to prepare well-structured projects that are selected to be undertaken as PPPs. The Facility is available for all national government agencies, government corporations, local implementing entities and state universities and colleges (SUCs), throughout the country.
