Engineering) only
On 22nd and 23rd May 2014, a coordination meeting at the project site among DPWH,
RASA, and several government agencies regarding Parcellary Survey was held in
preparation for the Final Resettlement Action Plan.
As of 25 May 2014, actual progress of Detailed Design is 68%

Luzon areas and also aims to decrease overconcentration in Metro Manila for socio-
economic activities.
It will also provide faster and safer access to Region II.
Project Objective :
This will support development of regional urban centers in Central Luzon and the Pacific
Ocean Coastal Areas in order to decrease overconcentration of socio-economic activities in
Metro Manila.
Project Cost :
14.20 Billion
Project Status :
Draft Report for the results of the Financial and Economic Evaluation are being prepared
and will be submitted June 2014

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:

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).
