No Limit Construction signs $400K contract for AO Shirley lights
The government has signed a contract worth $409,837.67 with No Limit Construction Services Ltd for the installation of a new lighting system at the A.O. Shirley Recreation Ground.
The Recovery and Development Agency (RDA) said the agreement marked another milestone in the development of the territory’s sports infrastructure and confirmed that the installation of lighting fixtures at the national stadium was covered.
“The contract, valued at $409,837.67, has been awarded to No Limit Construction Services Ltd,” an RDA Facebook post stated.
During the signing ceremony, Education Minister Sharie de Castro welcomed the start of the long-awaited project and expressed thanks that it is now moving forward. She highlighted the A.O. Shirley Recreation Ground as the most active sporting and recreational facility in the territory and pointed to the impact the upgrade is expected to have on athletes, students and the wider community.
The RDA said that once the works are completed, the facility is expected to meet IAAF Class 2 standards. It added that the upgraded lighting will support safe and modern use of the grounds for sports and recreation.
The A O Shirley Recreation Ground is described by the government as the premier location for sports training and competitions in the territory, hosting track and field, soccer and rugby.
The new award follows an earlier phase of works at the venue. In January 2020, the Virgin Islands Recovery and Development Agency (RDA) signed two contracts worth a combined $860,233.14 with C W General Maintenance and Caribbean Environmental Restoration Limited for stadium lighting and grandstand repairs as part of the wider A.O. Shirley project.
According to the release, the lighting contract is part of ongoing efforts to upgrade the A.O. Shirley Recreation Ground as a key venue for sport and community activities in the Virgin Islands.

Another VIP crony. Only their cronies are getting contracts. The governor need to keep a close eye on the spending of the 100M loan most of which went to the Works ministry. He would find some interesting things.
Did they build the Welcome Toilets in Trellis Bay where you can’t close the doors?
There must be good reasoning why people get these contracts.
Some one somewhere is getting value for money but it never seems to be the VI people.
They also built the mountains in Sea Cows Bay masquerading as speed bumps. What a mess! There is just No Limit to the terrible work that he does yet he keeps getting more!
In there also need solar powered lights for the people who does exercise and walking when the electrical lights are not in use
Only one sea cows bay man eating all the time not my vote
The track aint no good. Its not suitable for athletes to run on.
rajah vip crony
I thought the track was getting a refresh or a new soft track lol
Thanks for the lights I guess
Is this contract only for lights? What about shelter for when it rains. When rain falls the students and there bags get wet. Hope that will be fix.
This is no stadium, Please call it what it is. It is a recreation ground. Stadium have covered seating arrangements to protect people from the elements.
The lights so be solar powered and the place need fixing.mor3 covered seating
Carifta is in four months. Why only now your guys fitting this? Athletes need the track to train.
