Bids invited for restoration of Trafalgar pump

The National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) is inviting bids for the rehabilitation of the electric pump at Trafalgar, West Coast Berbice.

In a notice in Sunday’s Kaieteur News, the NDIA under the Ministry of Agriculture invited ten bids, which includes “Rehabilitation of NDIA Electric Pump at Trafalgar, Region 5.” According to the notice, the rehabilitation is estimated at $48.6 million and bids are expected to be submitted by August 2.

Two giant pumps have been sitting like sentinels at the Trafalgar pump station after they were vandalised over two years ago.
