Five bidders presented offers in the award process led by the state government of Nayarit: Aqualia Infraestructuras de Mexico, Ecossistemas del Agua, Fuerza de Apoyo Constructiva de Occidente, FYPASA Construccion and Ticsa. Information on the bidding criteria was not available. The investment was estimated at US$ 18.6 million (Pesos 245.4 million), of which 35.5% was funded by the Federal government. Construction works commenced in early 2013 and were concluded by February 2015.
