Kaieteur News – The Ministry of Agriculture, through the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), has received bids from 18 contractors to construct a sluice/ pump station combination structure at No. 45/46 Village, Corentyne, Region Six.
This is according to the recent reading of bids for the project at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office. The project which is estimated to cost $519,601,688, saw contractors bid between $443 million and $676 million to execute the works.
For the same community, bids were also opened for the construction of a drainage channel. Twenty-six contractors submitted bids for that project. This aspect is estimated to cost $130 million.
Kaieteur News understands that the structures play a crucial role in communities since they provide residents and farmers with an effective drainage system, especially during heavy rainy periods.
During the presentation of this year’s budget, it was revealed that in 2024, the government expended $44.3 billion, while this year, $73.2 billion has been allocated to complete pump stations and advance other critical drainage and irrigation canals and structures at Adams Creek, Canefield, Good Hope and Mabaruma, to name a few.
