Guyana<\/p>\n

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB)-funded Linden to Mabura Hill road construction and upgrading project has attracted billion-dollar bids from Chinese and Brazilian companies.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The bids for the project were opened on Wednesday at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board at the Ministry of Finance offices in Georgetown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three Chinese firms submitted separate bids. China Railway International tendered a bid for $33,808,790,866, while China Gezhouba Group Company submitted bid of $29,962,374,374, and Shandong Luqiao Group Company Limited tendered a bid of $30,225,357,170. In a joint venture, Guyanese company EOCI and Brazilian firm, Castilho, tendered a bid of $35,138,144,149, while Construtora Queiroz Galvao S.A. submitted a bid of $29,546,747,077.<\/p>\n

Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday told Sunday Stabroek that they are currently in the process of evaluating the bids.<\/p>\n

In October, the minister said that they were pushing for a contract signing by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Last December it was announced that the CDB, the United Kingdom Government, and the Guyana Government, had partnered to fund a US$190 million project for the upgrading of 121 kilometres of road from Linden to Mabura Hill.<\/p>\n

CDB is putting up US$112 million via a loan towards the project. The approved sum for the project represents the largest project that the regional bank has financed in its 50-year existence. The UK is providing a US$66 million grant and the Guyana government will provide US$12 million.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The road is expected to be upgraded from a fair-weather road to an all-weather asphalt concrete one and would include new drainage infrastructure with enhanced capacity to mitigate the effects of flooding.<\/p>\n

Construction of the thoroughfare is expected to improve connectivity between Guyana\u2019s hinterland and the coast and is the first phase of a wider plan to develop a transportation corridor from Georgetown to Lethem on the southwest border, thereby connecting the port in Georgetown with northern Brazil.<\/p>\n

The unpaved 450-kilometre road from Linden to Lethem is often impassable during the rainy season due to flooding along its low-lying sections. It is anticipated that the upgraded road corridor will provide year-round connectivity between Linden and Mabura Hill, improving conditions for local and long-haul transport which can increase trade between Guyana and Brazil.<\/p>\n
