Shortlisted prospective bidders wishing to enter Phase 2 will have until 31 July 2008 to submit a detailed bid book. During August and September 2008, experts representing the FAI will evaluate the bid books submitted by the bidders, conduct on-site visits, hold meetings with the bidders and prepare a written evaluation report that will be available on 1 October 2008.
