The Dominican Republic has initiated a significant public bidding process for a crucial infrastructure project that will enhance transportation connectivity between major northern regions. Through the RD-Vial Trust, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) is seeking qualified contractors for the design and construction of a new roadway linking Santiago’s Northern Bypass with the existing Puerto Plata-Sosúa highway.
This strategic infrastructure development represents a critical segment of the broader Amber Highway initiative, aimed at improving regional transportation networks and stimulating economic growth. The procurement process commenced officially on Thursday, with comprehensive bidding documentation now available through multiple channels.
Prospective bidders may obtain the detailed Terms and Conditions either through physical collection at the RD-Vial Trust’s Purchasing and Contracting Department during standard business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday) or via digital download from the institution’s official online portal.
The tender mandates a dual-proposal submission system requiring both Technical (Envelope A) and Economic (Envelope B) proposals. Submission modalities include digital delivery through the Dominican State’s SECP platform or physical delivery in sealed envelopes. The deadline for physical proposal submissions is set for 12:00 p.m. on March 20, 2026, at the RD-Vial Trust Meeting Room, with technical proposal openings scheduled according to the tender’s Specific Conditions timeline.
A critical prerequisite for participation requires all bidding entities to maintain active registration within the State Supplier Registry (RPE), administered by the General Directorate of Public Procurement (DGCP), ensuring compliance with national procurement regulations and bid validity.
