PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur — The city government has opened public bidding for a ₱6-million Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) covering all 54 barangays, with proposed analysis of earthquake, tsunami, flood and rain-induced-landslide hazards affecting communities and important facilities.

The procurement, identified as PBG-2026-10-52 under PhilGEPS Reference 13283711, was published October 13, 2026. The official PhilGEPS invitation specifies a single consultancy-services package with an approved budget of ₱6 million. The solicitation is a tender for technical work, not an awarded contract or an assessment already completed.

Assessment scope covers people, facilities and land uses

The published terms call for data capture across 54 barangays and hazard analysis involving five core areas: population, agriculture, forest, urban areas and critical-point facilities. The scope expressly lists flood, rain-induced landslide, tsunami and earthquake hazards, together with major decision areas intended to inform planning.

Such an assessment could help city planners and disaster officials understand which barangays, facilities and populations may be exposed to different hazards and use that information when prioritizing evacuation arrangements, infrastructure investments or land-use measures. Those applications are possible uses of the proposed work; the tender does not establish that final hazard maps, recommendations or planning decisions have already been delivered.

Pagadian sets October 28 deadline for bid submissions

The City Government of Pagadian published the invitation to bid on October 13, 2026, with the advertisement period running through October 20.

According to the procurement schedule, bidding documents are available from October 16 to October 28. A pre-bid conference was scheduled for October 16 at 2:00 p.m. at the City General Services Office, City Hall Complex, Gatas District, Pagadian City.

Submission and receipt of bids are scheduled for October 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., at the same venue.

The PhilGEPS portal lists October 20 as its closing date, coinciding with the end of the advertised posting period. Prospective bidders should follow the detailed procurement schedule and check for any subsequent official amendments.

Procurement status and earthquake relevance

Pagadian is procuring consulting services to perform the assessment. The ₱6-million figure is the approved budget ceiling, not confirmed spending. The notice does not identify a winning consultant, completed risk maps, final reports or an implementation timetable for subsequent planning measures.

For earthquake and tsunami preparedness, local, evidence-based hazard assessment can inform decisions about critical facilities, potential evacuation needs and settlement exposure. The proposed Pagadian study is a citywide planning exercise, distinct from government earthquake-detection or early-warning equipment purchases.
