The conceptual development scheme for the government administrative center presented in this Manual is not intended to be the final design solution for this project; instead, it indicates the range of solutions that may be formulated to meet the needs and requirements set by the minimum design and performance standards. The prospective bidders should not hesitate to seek unique and innovative approaches to the planning and design of the government center.
In fact, the LGU encourages this practice. Alternative schemes that introduce novel solutions to the planning, design and operation of this facility should be carefully evaluated by the prospective bidders and the most appropriate recommendation presented.
However, each prospective bidder must follow several siting and operational constraints in formulating their respective conceptual design proposals. These constraints include site location and boundary limits, design and planning standards, and expansion options.
