and what has been the challenges in the submissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CEO hopes that contractors will walk away with the knowledge needed to apply this information during the next round of tender submissions for recovery projects to be administered by the RDA.<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert Fontenard, Managing Director of FDL Consultant Inc. is the special guest presenter at the workshop.\u00a0 Mr. Fontenard serves as the Road Rehabilitation Consultant with the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Loan (RRL) who holds oversight for the eight road rehabilitation

projects, four reservoirs, three government buildings, the Halls of Justice, West End Ferry Terminal and two schools in addition to earlier recovery projects funded directly by the Government of the
