The contract for the redevelopment of the Elmore Stoutt High School Campus is expected to be signed tomorrow Thursday March 31.
This is according to Premier and Minister of Finance Andrew Fahie who made the disclosure during a recent press conference.
He said the deadline for the receipt of bids closed on Tuesday March 22.
“All the bids received have been forwarded to the RDA (Recovery and Development Agency) for the evaluation process. The RDA is doing its assessments independent of any political influence, with the highest level of integrity, accountability, transparency and good governance,” Premier Fahie stated.
He added, “So, we are awaiting the analysis and selection for the contracts by the RDA. But what I can tell the public is that the RDA is working very expeditiously to complete this process so that we can have contracts signed by 31 March, 2022, at the ESHS grounds at 3pm.”
Premier Fahie also said that the contract documents will be drafted using standard templates, to allow for the insertion of the names and information of the winning contractors once they have been selected.
The leader of government business re emphasized that the entire process to select the winning bidders was an independent and transparent process which was conducted by the RDA.
He said no elected official was involved – whether directly or indirectly – in this selection process.
