Dec 28, 2009 News

NEW AMSTERDAM, BERBICE – Last week, the contracts for 34 community roads were signed in the Region Six Boardroom. Attending the function were the Chairpersons and representatives of the 16 Neighbourhood Democratic Councils, the Rose Hall Town and Corriverton Municipalities.

Region Six Chairman, Zulfikar Mustapha, explained that these roads are in addition to those done under the 2009 Capital Work Programme, which was completed late November.

The added funds – $183 million was allocated by the Office of the President/Ministry of Finance/Ministry of Public Works to execute the projects.

In November, the Administration opened bids for the construction of these thoroughfares in areas such as Angoy’s Avenue, Canefield, Number Nineteen, Fort Ordnance, Fyrish/Gibraltar, Hampshire/Kilcoy, Rose Hall Town, John’s Port Mourant, Whim/Bloomfield, Lancaster/Hogstye, Bush Lot/Number Twenty-eight, Black Bush Polder, Number Fifty-one/Good Hope, Number Fifty-two/Seventy-four, Corriverton and Crabwood Creek. Consultation sessions were held across East Berbice/Corentyne before these communities were identified.

Each representative, Zulfikar said, was tasked with the responsibility of distributing the bill of quantities to residents in their respective districts to ensure their involvement.

All of these projects are scheduled to be completed by December 31st to make way for the 2010 schedule.

According to him, the procedure stipulates that no contractor would be paid unless the beneficiaries are satisfied and the job reached the approval of the Region Six Works Department.
