One week after more than $67 million worth of contracts were awarded by the Region Four administration, nine others were awarded, amounting to nearly $75 million, for civil works.
The ceremony for the signing of the contracts was held last Thursday at the Regional Democratic Council boardroom at Triumph, East Coast Demerara and was witnessed by the Regional Vice-Chairman Earl Lambert, contractors and staff of the regional office. Regional Executive Officer Pauline Lucas, before signing the contracts, congratulated the contractors and thanked them for bidding. She said that without the partnership of the contractors, the projects will not be executed and encouraged them, along with those who were unsuccessful, to continue bidding. Lucas then advised them to complete their work in a timely manner, while cautioning that she expects nothing but quality work to the specifications of the contracts.
