“The most comprehensive proposal came from Fulcrum and they had some of the top US companies. Fulcrum [had] as their partners; you had McDermott [International, Ltd] who is the lead contractor as part of this company. You had Baker Hughes as part of this company; ERM on the environmental consultants; Solaris; and other agencies associated. These are some of the top companies in the world,” Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday told a press conference at PPP headquarters.
“And they also identified potential forms of financing [for] these activities, either through US EXIM Bank or private equity firms that may be interested in this. They had, clearly, the best proposal,” he added.
