SERVICES
Metrowide provides strategic support services at various stages in its clients'
projects - a total project cycle capability - from the pre-feasibility stages
(including site suitability/selection) to strategy implementation formulation
to the development and actual implementation, to monitoring of progress and
evaluation of impacts to round out full project completion.
Metrowide provides due diligence, as well as permitting and regulatory support
services (including the conduct of environmental impact assessments or initial
environmental examinations). It continues to render consulting and advisory
services in economic and market studies for new and prospective ventures -
identifying at the earliest stages any potential problems in proposed
acquisitions and mergers or joint ventures, which may prove to either be a
source of dispute or cost overruns or most importantly, the inability to
collect.
While still at the earliest stages of its registration in 2003, Metrowide did a
cost-revenue sensitivity study for IPM that was the bases for a cost proposal
submitted with Maunsell Philippines, Inc. (local office of US engineering
design consultancy), for the LGU of San Fernando, Pampanga's integrated solid
waste management facility project, implemented as a Public-Private Sector
Partnership propounded by PEMSEA (a UNDP-GEF-IMO-funded project at the DENR
compound on Visayas Avenue in Quezon City).
In that study, Metrowide explored project financing options: either taken out
by the LGU itself or the possible availment by IPM of its credit line with a
bank to implement the project but considering the scenario of actual drawdowns
vs. LGU repayment / reimbursement of expenditures for work accomplishment.
Metrowide also evaluated the near- to long-term impact of the project to
subsistence families living on the take from dumpsite scavenging, vis-a-vis
certain interventions proposed for implementation.
