In line with its efforts to upgrade the capabilities of the Philippine Navy (PN), the Department of National Defense (DND) on Wednesday announced it is allocating P216 million to modernize the BRP Artemio Ricarte (PS-37), one of the three Jacinto Class Patrol Vessels (JCPV), in its service.
The latter are the Peacock patrol ships acquired from the United Kingdom in Aug. 1, 1997.
The money will be used to update the marine engineering upgrade of the above-mentioned ship.
The latter refers to to the development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and on-board systems; e.g. power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and control systems for marine vehicles.
This is Phase 2 of the JCPV upgrade with Phase 1 being the installation of the new Raytheon gyro compass, Sperry Marine Naval BridgeMaster E Series Surface Search Radar, GPS, anemometer, and EM logs.
These were integrated with the ship's existing systems. The Phase 1 upgrade was completed in 2005.
The DND said that interested parties must have completed a similar project within the last five years.
It added that winning bidders must be able to deliver the goods or required service within 180 calendar working days upon the opening of the letter of credit.
Pre-bid conference is on Nov. 22 at the DND Bidding and Awards Committee Conference Room, Right Wing, Basement, DND Building, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
Bid opening will be held this coming Dec. 5.
