Questions over Haggs Bosch landfill project
Dear Editor,
I happened to be in Barbados on an engineering assignment with C. O. Williams – probably the largest engineering group in the Caribbean.
I am happy to have learnt that they had tendered to work in my native Guyana on the Haggs Bosch Landfill. They aroused my curiosity when one of their senior engineers said they would not tender in the near future for another job in Guyana. I was flatly told that the system is corrupted at all levels.
Apparently one of the primary qualification requirements was for a successful bidder to have “three years experience operating a landfill of international standards accepting no less than 150 tons per day” effectively ruling out all local companies. Sadly a local joint venture which had a combined experience of two years operating a waste dump on the East Coast receiving waste less than 30 tons per day was given the contract.
I was told that so glaring was the corruption that there was no official opening for such a massive project – over US$10 million.
