CORPORATE CAPABILITY 

and EXPERIENCE 
www.apii.com.ph 

Applied Planning & Infrastructure, Inc. (APII) is a Philippine registered corporation, formerly known as The Louis Berger Group Phils., Inc.    APII
provides professional services to public and private clients tailored to their requirements.  We undertake subcontracts to complete technical 
scopes of work and prime contracts to manage projects and programs. We also recruit and assign technical and management personnel 
integrated into client's teams.  With over 25 years experience APII has executed a diverse portfolio of Philippine economic growth, master 
planning, feasibility study, transport engineering, and rural development contracts funded by USAID, The World Bank, The Asian Development 
Bank, JICA and private firms. APII's management team brings extensive Philippine experience, particularly in Mindanao, a team of expat and 
Filipino professionals who have successfully worked together, and linkages to global organizations with specialized expertise.  

Clients have included the Office of the President, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Clark Development Corporation, Light Rail Transit Authority, 
Pueblo De Oro Corporation, San Miguel Corporation, the Supreme Court of the Philippines, Sagittarius Mines, Inc. and many other private and 
public sector organizations. APII's team have participated in and managed many of the largest development programs financed by the US 
Government in the Philippines such as the Rural Infrastructure Fund, the Economic Support Fund Secretariat, The Philippine Assistance Program 
Support fund, and the Growth with Equity in Mindanao Program. 

Experience in Feasibility Study, Master Planning and Transport Engineering 

Master Plan 
Master Plans are more than an inventory of site conditions and concepts for future growth. To attract investment, they must also reflect a shared 
planning vision and development parameters agreed‐to by the owners, key stakeholders, regulators and investors. Thus, our Applied Planning 
methodology starts with open communication; "asking", "listening" and "dialogue" focused on solutions. In the process of arriving at a shared 
vision and planning parameters, we also work to develop an organizational, operational, administrative, regulatory, and policy framework to 
execute the Master Plan. This shared approach to plan conceptualization ensures: 

 the plan to be developed will be stakeholder‐based and sustainable as commitment will be ensured through "ownership" of the project 
concepts; and  
 the plan will be implementable as it will be based on a viable framework agreed upon by the players themselves  

Our Master Plans are characterized by insightful SWOT analysis and recommendations based on demand and market analysis, physical 
assessment of the site, transport planning, land use alternatives, economic and cost analysis, environmental and utility infrastructure, work‐life 
balance amenities, among many factors. Our Masterplans seek to create consensus ‐ a 'way forward' to meet the investment expectations of 
owners, stakeholders, regulators, and investors. Our master plans are used by all the concerned parties to achieve a common vision, and evolve 
with the owner's growth; they are not static reference documents. 

Financial and Business Plan 
A diagnostic review of operations focuses on the three financial statements ‐ Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement ‐ and 
Regulatory Compliance. The resulting set of conclusions are used as references for project undertakings, and are the basis of institutional and 
staff capability building. 
Our business planners prepare a financial model to help determine the expected level of funding, profitability and value of the enterprise and sub‐
projects within it. More specifically, we: 

 Gather all relevant assumptions that will be used in the preparation of a financial model per transaction. We will review the reasonableness 
of these assumptions based on information provided by owners, as well as information from publicly available sources; 
 Assist in the conduct of a limited sensitivity analysis to assess the financial boundaries of the Transaction with special focus on determining 
the appropriate cash flows; 
 Review and provide comments on the computation of relevant financial performance measures such as Internal Rate of Return ("IRR"), 
Payback, Return on Investment ("ROI"), Debt Service Coverage Ratio ("DSCR"), as well as others as required; and With the assistance of a Tax 
Consultant, validate the tax assumptions used in the financial model prepared. 

APII provides infrastructure planning and technical support services: 

 Geographic Information Systems; 
 CAD drawings; 
 Construction inspection and supervision; 
 Specifications and Bid Document Preparation; 
 Site Assessment; 
 Economic analysis; 
 Traffic demand; 
 
We have worked on a diverse range of transportation projects (roads, urban rail, seaport, and airports) as well community infrastructure in 
partnership with local government units and donors. Most recently we have completed a business case analysis to establish the Manila Central 
Subway system for consideration by private PPP investors and a Survey of Mindanao Logistics Infrastructure which helped DPWH substantially 
expand Mindanao's road network using its General Appropriations Act funding in 2016/17.    

We have planned and supervised construction of over 1,000 infrastructure facilities in the conflict affected areas of Mindanao to stimulate 
community development and economic growth. We were early pioneers in development of the nation's PPP program with our SLEX study leading 
to the Philippine's first BOT investment. We have executed follow‐up assignments for both DOTC and LRTA leading to expansion of the nation's 
transport system, most recently providing electromechanical engineering expertise to DOTC and its Japanese program manager to expand 
Line1/Line2 capacity in Metro Manila. 
 
Experience in Environmental Assessment 

APII's management team are leading proponents of environmentally sustainable development, having a long history dating back to 1995 in the 
Philippines when it was awarded the prestigious "Gawad Kalikasan" by DENR and the Philippine Association of Environmental Professionals for the  Gawad Kalikasan Award
"Best EIA of the Decade". More recently, and for the past 18 years, we've managed the environmentally sustainable design, construction, and  for the
concurrently regulatory approval processes, for over 1,000 infrastructure construction projects funded by USAID/GEM throughout the Southern  Most Outstanding
Philippines including bridges, roads, airports, water supply, market centers and other facilities.   Environmental Impact
Study of the decade
By bringing together Stakeholders and Authorities in a consultative atmosphere, we develop an ongoing dialogue with and among them which  by DENR and the
allows all points of view and inputs to be considered. The evaluations performed, not only consider existing natural resources within an area, but 
Philippine Association of
also determine environmental trends and the social soundness of a project. By seeking the views of people which may benefit or be impacted by a 
Environmental Assessment
proposed project, we help to dissipate apprehension which may arise from perceived social or environmental impacts. This is done by developing 
Professionals
alternative programs to mitigate and monitor for actual problems early in the program. 

A close working relationship has developed over the years among the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of 
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). This relationship has provided a free exchange of ideas and information with regards to evolving needs 
and regulations, particularly the framework for implementation of the environmental impact assessment system.

FRONT‐END MINING 

APII works at the front‐end of the mine's development cycle with the people directly affected ‐‐ we provide livelihood program 
planning through analysis of value chains, market opportunities and ecological conditions; resettlement support through formal 
documentation of community consultations, logistics management of field‐based community events and creation of communication 
materials in local dialect. We are fully aware of and support the Free and Prior Informed Consent requirements and procedures 
established by the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples. 

PROJECTS & SAMPLE WORK PRODUCTS 
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT 

APII provides internal control systems and services to plan, roll‐out and manage large field‐based programs. We support our client's 
on‐the‐ground, transparently managing their resources to implement activities with stakeholders in accordance with their policies and 
directions. We offer two decades of sustainable development experience and lessons‐learned from managing several of the Philippines 
largest developmental undertakings. We have operated in remote, hostile and difficult environments managing donor agency and 
private funds to deliver a diverse range of economic growth, workforce preparation, public communications and other activities. We 
have successfully managed program implementation over two decades in accordance with the strictest international standards of 
integrity and performance. 

PROJECTS & SAMPLE WORK PRODUCTS 
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT 

APII provides livelihood, economic growth planning and program implementation services. We have worked with producers and their 
associations to improve their production capacity as well as with market makers and buyers to source locally produced products. We 
consider value chains and address constraints therein as the focus of our efforts to increase transactions between sellers and buyers. 
Working in rural environments we seek to build relationships between growers, their associations and buyers to establish contract 
growing opportunities and market linkages. We've also designed and established workforce preparation programs in collaboration with 
employers and local Universities. 

PROJECTS & SAMPLE WORK PRODUCTS 
ENGINEERING and TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES  

APII provides infrastructure planning and detailed engineering services for transport systems such as roads, urban rail, seaport, and 
airports as well as services related to the planning and construction of community infrastructure in partnership with local government 
units and donors. We have managed construction of over 800 such infrastructure facilities in the conflict affected areas of Mindanao to 
stimulate economic growth. We were early pioneers in development of the nation's BOT program with our SLEX study leading to the 
nation's first BOT investment, and follow‐up assignments for both DOTC and LRTA leading to expansion of the nation's transport 
system. A team of seven APII engineers are currently working on L1/L2 capacity expansion programs.  

PROJECTS 
APPLIED PLANNING 

APII's approach to master planning is to balance the various objectives of a project by providing alternative development strategies. 
Using various criteria including inputs from our clients and other stakeholders in the project we prepare a technically feasible,
