The Colombian National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) has re-launched the tender process for the concession of the Airports of Edén in Armenia and Benito Salas in Neiva.

The project involves the design, upgrade, construction, operation and maintenance of the two airports. Specifically, the scope of the works and the estimated investment are the following:

• The total investment for the airport of Armenia would be P$117,000 million (US$34.4 million). It involves the pavement upgrade of 180.240 m² and the paving of 21,850 m², construction of a new control tower and the upgrade of the international terminal, among others.

• The total investment for the airport of Neiva would be P$77,000 million (US$22.7 million). It involves the  provision of new equipment and upgrade the cargo terminal, among others.

This is the second time that the tender process for the concession is launched. The first time it was expected to be awarded by December 2014 and construction works were scheduled to start by late 2015. At that time the concession also included the airport of Popayan.

Interested parties must submit their bids on or before 8 April 2016. See tender documents (Spanish):
