For BOT Law projects, there is that section that limits the amount of the approval of the LOcal Chief Executive to enter into a contract with the winning bidder ( I guess 300 million and below). Above that amount requires the approval of the higher authority which is the President of the Philippines.

As a supplementary input and additional info to this paragraph mentioned as applicable to LGUs, the IRR of RA 7718 (BOT Law), Section 2.7b provides:
i. to the municipal development council for projects costing up to PhP 20 million;
ii. to the provincial development council for those costing above PhP 20 million up to PhP 50 million;
iii. to the city development council for those costing up to PhP 50 million;
iv. to the regional development council or, in the case of Metro Manila projects, the Regional Development Council for Metropolitan Manila, for those costing above PhP 50 million up to PhP 200 million; and
v. to the ICC for those costing above PhP 200 million.
Final approval of projects classified under b.i to b.iv of this section is vested on the Local Sanggunians per provision of the Local Government Code.

Very Happy

But of course, the BOT law is one of the exceptions to the coverage of R.A. 9184. So, in BOT projects, it is the BOT law which would apply not the GPRA.
