The construction of the proposed $200.4 million Zeeburg Secondary School in Region Three is once again set to begin after a review of the evaluation process.
Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon made the announcement yesterday at his post Cabinet press briefing.
The project was not granted the no objection when it was first taken to Cabinet in July and Luncheon had explained that it was because the contract evaluation committee was not properly constituted.
“My understanding was there was a problem with the eval (evaluation) committee that apparently was not properly constituted according to rules and regulations that govern the composition of evaluation committees,” he had said.
Stabroek News understands that the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board re-evaluated the contract using correct protocols and the initial contractor was not changed.
Works, this newspaper was told, would begin in the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, Luncheon also informed of no-objections to contracts for two other sectors. The names of the respective procuring entities, a description of the tender and the contract amount are shown in the table below.
