The ongoing project of building a government office complex comprising two blocks on Plot 25 in Nape, located near the Macau Cultural Centre (CCM), will cost up to 1.253 billion patacas in total, the Public Works Bureau (DSOP) has said.
The government office complex project on Plot 25 is being carried out in two tenders, namely a tender for its pile foundation and basement, and a tender for its superstructure.
The project’s ongoing pile foundation and basement work got off the ground in September 2022 and is now slated to be completed in October this year.
The ongoing pile foundation and basement work is being carried out by Ming Shun Construction and Property Investment Limited for a price tag of 514 million patacas.
The government launched a public tender last month for the Plot 25 government office complex’s superstructure work. Potential bidders were required to submit their quotations by Tuesday.
A total of 21 construction companies submitted their bids for the superstructure work, which were unsealed by DSOP officials on Wednesday. All bids were accepted.
A statement by the bureau on Wednesday announced that the quotations for the superstructure work proposed by the 21 bidders range from 663 million patacas to 739 million patacas.
Consequently, together with the ongoing 514-million-pataca pile foundation and basement work, the Plot 25 government office complex will cost up to 1.253 billion patacas in total.
The tender has set a maximum period of 850 working days for the winning bidder to complete the Plot 25 government office complex’s superstructure.
Wednesday’s statement announced that the construction periods for the superstructure proposed by the 21 bidders are identical, 765 working days.
The statement noted that the complex on Plot 25 will comprise a 12-storey block and a 17-storey block on a podium, plus a three-level underground carpark.
Plot 25 covers 6,480 square metres, with the complex to have a gross floor area of 80,800 square metres, the statement said.
The statement noted that as the ongoing pile foundation and basement work is only slated to be completed in October this year, the bureau now expects the superstructure work to get off the ground in the fourth quarter.
Another govt office complex in Nape
The government also launched a public tender earlier this month for constructing the superstructure of its ongoing project of building a government office complex comprising two blocks on Plot 12 in Nape. Potential bidders are required to submit their quotations by July 15.
Plot 12 in Nape is bordered by Alameda Dr Carlos D’Assumpção, Avenida Sir Anders Ljungstedt, Rua Cidade de Braga, and Rua Cidade do Porto.
The government office complex project on Plot 12 is also being carried out in two tenders, namely a tender for its pile foundation and basement, and a tender for its superstructure.
The Plot 12 project’s ongoing pile foundation and basement work also got off the ground in September 2022 and is now slated to be completed in January next year. The work is being carried out by Shing Lung Construction and Engineering Company Limited for a price tag of 495 million patacas.
The complex on Plot 12 will comprise a 12-storey block and a 21-storey block on a podium, plus a four-level underground carpark.
New govt office building in Zape
Moreover, a project got off the ground last month to construct the pile foundation and basement of a government office building on the plot located between the Jai Alai casino-hotel complex and Casa Real Hotel in Zape.
According to the DSOP website, the site where the new office building will be located covers about 2,770 square metres. The building will have 11 storeys plus three underground levels, with a gross floor area of about 27,720 square metres.
The building’s pile foundation and basement work are scheduled to be completed in March 2026, after which its superstructure will start.
The current government office building located next to Waldo Hotel on Avenida da Amizade was completed in 2021.
The government’s policy of constructing its own office buildings will allow it to no longer have to rent a large area of office space in private office buildings.
