Nine companies have been shortlisted and will be invited within the coming weeks to submit proposals for the building of the New Demerara River Crossing, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday confirmed.
“I can confirm that nine companies have been shortlisted. We met with the reps [representatives] who had been invited to a meeting held Monday; an information-sharing meeting,” Edghill told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.
“Within a number of weeks the bid document will be launched and they would be required to put in their proposals. And in three months, we expect to have a bidder for contract signing scheduled for the third quarter of this year, with the bridge to be built within two years after signing of that contract,” he added.
