After a new contractor was awarded the project, Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia announced that the re-bidding process had reached the post-qualification stage. Although the winning bidder will be revealed next week, Garcia expressed his commitment to holding a groundbreaking ceremony at the end of February to demonstrate the city's seriousness in finishing the hospital. \\The mayor also plans to inaugurate each completed floor for public use.
