In an effort to get back on track after a late start, the Region Six (East Berbice Corentyne) Regional Administration is moving apace with the signing and awarding of contracts for pending upgrading works in the Region.
After signing $60M worth of contracts a week ago, on Tuesday a further 17 contracts totaling $91M for developmental works in the Region were inked at the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) Boardroom in New Amsterdam.
The signing took place in the presence of several NDC representatives who were all given copies of the various contracts.
Among the works to be done are Rehabilitation works at two schools— the Belvedere Primary and Albion Front Nursery on the Corentyne at a joint cost of $7.5 Million. On the East Bank of Berbice rehabilitation works costing $7.5 M and $6.5M at Highbury and Lightown are slated to be done while canals at Enfield and Rotterdam are to be excavated. The streets leading to the Edinburgh Community Centre would also be done.
The Amerindian community of Orealla will benefit from revetment work totaling $8.4M. The sum of $12.7 M has been earmarked for renovating several doctors’ quarters and to construct a shed at the Berbice Regional Health Authority compound in New Amsterdam. The access bridge that leads to the Regional Administration building will also be done at a cost of $3.3M.
Contracts were also signed for Health Centre Street in Cumberland East Canje, the Edinburgh Community Centre Street and the construction of a bridge at Warren, East Coast of Berbice. Other works will include extension of Regional stores, construction of bridge at Sand Reef and the rehabilitation of Third Street, Auchlyne are among those expected to be done.
Speaking at the simple signing ceremony Regional Vice Chairman, Bhaupaul Jhagroo, who is also Chairman of the Regional Works Committee, warned contractors to get their act together. He noted that the Region will not accept shoddy work.
He told them that the Region will not hesitate to apply the liability clause once the work is not satisfactory and the time span has elapsed.
The liability period has been extended from three to six months.
