The Bids and Awards Committee disqualified IPM Construction and Development Corporation after it failed to make a request for reconsideration for the bidding of the landfill management and hauling services for Bacolod City Friday.

BAC chairman Jerome Solinap, said in an interview over Aksyon Radyo, that he issued a directive for the members of the technical working group to conduct post-qualification on Dynamic Builders.
