The government has approached the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) for a US$76.2 million loan to build three water treatment plants in Regions Two, Three, Five and Six respectively, and is calling on contractors to submit bids for the project.
An invitation to bids published in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek stated that the application for financing from the CDB was for “an amount equivalent to US$76,249.000” towards the cost of a Water Supply Improvement Project.
The Ministry of Housing and Water is responsible for the overall implementation with Guyana Water Inc being the executing agency of the project, which sets out strict requirements of the contractor. “…Submissions that do not provide the information required or that do not demonstrate the prospective contractor’s ability to perform satisfactorily, will not qualify and will not be considered for further evaluation,” the invitation to bid said.
