The public market component of this sample PPP project has a total floor area of 1,758 square meters, divided into two levels. Table 3-3 in Section A1.6 shows the public market floor area distribution. The ground level with an area of 784 square meters contains the wet and semi-wet sections of the market. The second level with an area of 784 square meters houses the carinderia (food stalls) section. All sections are patterned after the LGIF standard module, with some revisions on the second level.
Although the optimal number of stalls per section can only be determined after conducting a consumer survey, the wet and semi-wet sections contain 30-35 stalls each and the carinderia contains 10-15 stalls, as shown in Table 3-3. It is also assumed here that the LGU will need only one wet and one semi-dry section.
The dry goods section of the public market was intentionally omitted to avoid competition with the supermarket in the shopping center.
