Guyana<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) is set to approach the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) to discuss blacklisting Trinidadian company, Kallco Guyana Inc, as a \u201cnon-performing contractor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, the end result will be that Kallco will have to be removed from these projects. We have to ensure we follow the terms and conditions of the contract and he will be deemed a non-performing contractor, and we will have to say to the tender board that he is a non-performing contractor and that he should not be given any work in Guyana\u201d, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill told Stabroek News yesterday.<\/p>\n

Kallco (Guyana) Inc was contracted to complete a sector of the East Coast Demerara Highway road project that will connect with Dennis Street in Georgetown.<\/p>\n

The project which begins at the Conversation Tree corridor, is approximately 1.9 kilometres from the Rupert Craig Highway and will connect to Dennis Street. It will also be linked to Sheriff Street from the Dennis Street corridor<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This project was split into two lots. Lot 8 A is being executed by S Jagmohan Construction and General Supplies Inc, to the tune of $1,066, 358,738, while Lot 8 B was awarded to a Trinidadian company, Kallco Guyana Inc, to the tune of $830,293,458. The project was awarded by NPTAB last year.<\/p>\n

Since then, some 65 per cent of the contract time has elapsed with only approximately 25 per cent of the work completed. Coupled with that, residents have been complaining about stagnant water, which is breeding mosquitos, and the lack of access to their properties.<\/p>\n

Due to the complaints and non-performance, MoPW had made the decision to have the company produce a proposal to the Ministry of Public Works detailing how it planned to complete the second leg of the project.<\/p>\n

This came after officials from the company had met with the Minister of Public Works and other officials to discuss the way forward. This was merely a week after a letter of poor performance was issued to the company.<\/p>\n
