(PIDC), is an all-Filipino consortium led by Rapid Thoroughfares Inc. (a wholly owned SMC Subsidiary) with DMCI Group, D.M. Wenceslao & Associates, Inc., R.D. Policarpio Construction Inc., New Kanlaon Construction Inc., J.E. Manalo and Co. and C.M. Pancho Construction, Inc. as partners
Project Cost:
Project Cost (In Billion Pesos) Includes Construction, Engineering, Project Management, Road Right-of-Way (RROW) and contingency costs.
Estimated Cost Confirmed by NEDA based on the Project Evaluation Report submitted by DPWH on May 30, 2007 (1 lane per direction) Original Bid Cost (CY 2007), Initial Stage (2 lanes) Estimated Revised Cost due to the proposed Variation Order including Implementation of Ultimate Stage (4 lanes) for Sections 1 and 2 Total Project Cost: P16.882 B P11.594 B P18.128 B Total Subsidy: P 3.700 B P 3.700 B P 4.794 B ROW Cost: P 0.793 B P 0.793 B P 1.396 B Cash Subsidy: P 2.907 B P 2.907 B P 2.907 B Construction of Carmen East West Diversion Road and Relocation of SCTEX Tarlac Toll Plaza, etc.: P 0.491 B
Explanatory Note: The original project cost submitted by DPWH to NEDA is P17.193. Please see attached Project Evaluation Report dated 30 May 2007. The NEDA Board approved per Resolution No. 1 dated Jan. 26, 2010 the cost of P16.882 Billion due to the adoption of Asphalt Concrete Pavement (ACP) instead of the Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) for the project. The total estimated revised subsidy is P4.794 Billion including ROW will be shouldered by the GOP while other costs will be shouldered by PIDC. The total estimated cost of P5.931 Billion and P 0.603 Billion for additional works and ROW, respectively, is pegged at the P11.594 Billion bid cost, thus the total revised estimated cost is P18.128 Billion. Moreover, the P5.931 Billion is still subject to determination of quantities and reasonableness of the cost. The TPLEX project cost of P11.594 Billion which includes ROW is based on the submitted bids (Financial Proposal) of PIDC for Phase I with the conditions that, should the volume of traffic for Phase I or any segment thereof shall have reached Level of Service C (as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual) as assessed by the DPWH, the proponent should submit its proposal for the widening of the affected sections, including maintenance and operations, and the additional toll and Concession Period shall be mutually agreed between DPWH and proponent prior to the start of the Construction. In line with this, the TRB Executive Director in his letter dated 08 March 2012, requested the DPWH to revisit the approved design of the TPLEX to determine if additional safety features, e.g. a 2+1 road configuration, among others, could be considered to mitigate the occurrence of road crashes once it becomes operational. Upon recommendation of the IC in its letter dated 16 January 2013 and after several discussion and correspondences among DPWH and PIDC, the implementation of the Ultimate Stage is approved in principle as per letter dated 15 April 2013 of DPWH to PIDC.
Additional Cost Breakdown:
An estimated additional cost of P5.931 Billion is needed for the construction of two (2) additional lanes (ultimate stage) among others, as shown below: Particulars Amount (In Billion Pesos) Remarks GOP PIDC Total Consultancy Services for the Realignment of Section 3, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan to Rosario La Union 0.010 0.010 As requested by Former Congressman Mark Cojuangco.

The implementation of the Ultimate Stage for Sections 1 and 2 includes the construction of SCTEX-TPLEX Interconnection, entails an additional cost of P5.440 Billion, will not require any additional cost from the government as PIDC will provide additional capital requirements, without prejudice to its right to negotiate for an extension of the concession period which currently stands at 35 years, as provided in the Toll Concession Agreement (TCA). While, the P491 Million will be shouldered by the government considering the construction of Carmen East West Diversion Road and relocation of SCTEX Tarlac Toll Plaza is not included in the original bid. The revised estimated project cost, implementation schedules, the financing plan, as well as the financial and economic justifications of the additional cost are being prepared by PIDC to be reviewed by DPWH. Once the final cost is determined and approved by DPWH, it will be submitted to NEDA for approval.

* The revisions on the completion dates was due to the construction of the additional 2 lanes for the ultimate stage (except for Section 3) to enhance safety compared to the initial stage of 1x1 bidirectional carriageway which is more prone to fatal accidents as experienced in the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR).
