Well look at this! BVINews has an whole story on this and yet some contractors will say they don’t know about this opportunity and will ask where was it advertised.
They need to stop wait for phone calls and read the news. Then when the same two contractors are awarded this contract they going cry wolf. Can’t please these people.
This should of been done when the lock down was on, now they want to be holding up traffic
Sabbath hills have water tanks yet the people in the district can’t get running water. Is laying water pipes and supply of running part of the scope of works? Water supply needed up here.
Ever wonder if the People giving permission to run lines through their property?
Behave , they will wait till its finished then dig it up and then do a half assed job on the backfill leaving the road in a worse state then when it started
Please can the Government fix the road from Windy Hill to Sage Mountain…that’s been like that for years…I thought after the retaining wall was put in…we would get the road paved to deal with the broken asphalt …please fix that next. Thanks
It is good to see public works out and doing road works…we didn’t know what happened to them under NDP…
Yes whiles it’s a great opportunity for contractors,
Look at the requirements that is needed, so many of the contractors can’t meet that requirement, although they could do the work just as go or better than the handful that have that financial backing.
