The protracted expansion of the Brickdam Police Station lockup should be done by year-end, according to Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan.
Ramjattan last Thursday told Sunday Stabroek that his ministry has invited bids from qualified persons to execute a $16.4 million capital project that will focus on fixing the ventilation system and the washroom facilities at the lockup, which has been undergoing rehabilitation over the past four years.
An advertisement was published in the Wednesday edition of the state-owned Guyana Chronicle inviting persons to bid. The ad stated that the bidding will be conducted through the National Competitive Bidding (NCB) Procedures specified in the Procurement Act and is open to all bidders subject to provisions of Section 111 (Eligible Countries) of the Bid Document.
