[cornfused]

The public pacification for SIS is startling . Before this came out there were many adds to support this project .


It is alleged that :
16 Firms paid $5,000 US each for the bid package . Only 2 firms tendered .

Firm Altalec SA Cv was lover than the estimated price for the project which was obtained from the NGC . The SIS consortium was higher that the estimate .

Original price $130 Mn US the raised to $137

SIS et al's price $167 Mn US Cv' bid $95 Mn

Questions , what was the procurement methodology ?

Was there a evaluation weighting method for the bid areas?

Was it a cost quality approach ?

Was the tender document specified adequately? What can explain this price differential? Is CV just that cheap ?

Why were there only 2 responders from a group of 16 . I understand that 5 of these prospective bidders wanted a submission date extension that was not granted. NGC need to explain its procurement procedures and guide line re this procurement.

1 BILLION $$$ is a serious crooked contract that Insults every single one of us as citizens.
considering the other tender was supposedly 400 Million lower and that company had much much more experience with such projects.

[Keyser Soze]

NGC president and WASA chairman = same government appointed clown.
conflict of interest may i ask?

The last lap really start..... next 12 months will be interesting.

[Hyperion]

waiting for the sycophants to chime in with some lame *ss defense of these corrupt bloodsuckers who just intent on robbing this country blind.

[abbow]

What ever happened to the Brian Lara Stadium? Scrap Iron Policy implemented for such wasted projects?

Trinidad will be the next Haiti soon......

[UML]

is the problem the price? or is it because it was SIS?

do we support our local industry or send our money abroad?

yes I agree that the difference in price is worrying..then you have to consider quality and local employment benefits

[de_dougla_smurf]

But by AG logic

Also this is why there should not be any reduction in fuel subsidy, its the one derivative from our resources every citizen can enjoy no matter their standing in society.

I honestly nve remember NGC advertising a contract like that before. Correct me if I am wrong.

[pete]

Well the 16 companies that initially showed interest found out somehow.

[Dizzy28]

I honestly nve remember NGC advertising a contract like that before. Correct me if I am wrong.

Quite possibly it would have been sent out to prequalified companies.

But History is a b!tch. In the 1990's a Minister of Public Utilities was involved in a TT$Billion dollar desalination plant which to this day has been the issue of numerous legal battles and allegations of corruption. In 2014 we have this same Minister in charge of Water Resources and there is now another TT$billion water project that may prove to be less than transparent.

[spirited721]

I understand what you sayng about transparency. . But that desalination plant was well needed and to this day I am getting water because of it. And I support the new plant too. The way I see it. They always gonna try to eat ah food. At least with these projects we as a ppl stand to benefit.

The government never built or put $1 into the desal plant.
No tax payers money was ever used to build the plant.

Desal plant is a private company, where the investors provided their own funds to build the plant.

And Wasa never had to agree before hand with Desalcott to a Water sale agreement for 20 years at a pre determined price?? Wasa is private too ent??

I was asking on reference to the publicity campaign between NGC and WASA where tehy were highlightin the benefits to the project.
Ful page ads talking about more water for consumers as teh plan will service the estate.
I haven't seen that type of advertising related to an NGC project before.

Hope you know that wasa buys the water at approximately $4 a cubic metre and sells it at $7 from desal to the industrial estate.

And you know that the other bidders who wanted to construct the desal plant on the BOOT system was going to charge $4/m3 and not less right??

There is opportunity for corruption by Govnt officials in everything.

In La Brea there is another plant and they yet to produce full stream.
