Vu The Phiet, General Director of the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) - the project’s main investor - reported that the unit had revised and adjusted the bidding documents based on the contractors' proposals and provisions of Vietnamese law and international practices.
Representatives of ministries and sectors provided input on selecting general contractors and subcontractors with sufficient capacity and experience to ensure project progress, quality and efficiency.
They also discussed the bidding package's criteria, technical standards, construction time and other aspects.
The Committee for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises would strengthen and consolidate the capacity of the ACV's Project Management Board in the coming months. The ACV would also strictly implement the Prime Minister's direction on mobilising international experts to consult and support the coordination, supervision, and management of the entire project.
Regarding site clearance, Chairman of the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Cao Tien Dung reported that there was only one household that still needed to relocate for the first 1,810-hectare phase.
This phase’s site clearance will be completed on April 20.
The province would complete the site clearance on the area of 722 hectares for land storage on May 15.
The provincial leaders reported on the clearance progress of two traffic routes connecting No.1 and No.2 and planned to hand over the ground before next June to serve the organisation of peak construction works.
They also recommended the investor soon build a fence on the entire 5,000 ha to serve security work and perform ground levelling to prevent red dust pollution when the airport is put into operation after the first phase is completed.
Deputy PM Ha praised Dong Nai province for its progress in site clearance work. He urged the ACV and construction units to prevent red dust pollution on the construction site, propose a plan for levelling and greening the reserve land area, and complete the Long Thanh Airport project area fence.
The meeting also included a report on the progress of project items such as airport infrastructure, connecting traffic routes, auxiliary works, pile foundations of passenger terminals, and levelling and drainage./.
