Sandwise secures bid for EE works in CDB loan
The contract was the one of two major contracts signed between the Government of the Virgin Islands and is part of the $15.7 million Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) Loan Infrastructural Development Programme to undertake rehabilitation work to roads and bridges damaged by heavy rainfall during the passage of Sub-Tropical Storm Otto, in 2010.
Sandwise Limited submitted the winning bid for the Parham Town works, ahead of two other companies, in the amount of $1,565,505.70.
Representative for Sandwise Ltd, Mrs Roxanne Ritter Herbert thanked the government for the opportunity and said it was a new adventure for the company given the CDB guidelines involved in the project.
She added that the team was cognisant of the traffic in the Parham Town area and promised to complete the project within budget and on time once there are no changes.
Hon. Vanterpool said the work is expected to commence in a month’s time and will be completed within 180 days or six (6) months from the date of commencement.
“You would appreciate that major infrastructural projects of this nature, demand a lot of resources, and would take some time to come to fruition,” Hon. Vanterpool said.
He added: “I am also taking this opportunity to remind all contractors, that other projects are to be tendered within the next few weeks and this is your opportunity to participate in the development of our country.”
The Ministry of Communications and Works is tasked with among other areas providing efficient sewerage systems and a safe stronger road network and drainage system.
