He said five tenders were received by the submission deadline and following an evaluation, No Limit Construction was determined to offer the best value for money.

Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie said he was pleased to know that through his government's advocacy, more local contractors are being given an opportunity to play a meaningful part in the territory's recovery efforts.


Resurfacing of basketball courts on Anegada & VG


The contracts for the rubberised resurfacing for the Basketball Court at the Anegada Recreational Ground and the rubberized resurfacing of the basketball court at the Jeffery A. Caines Sports Complex in Virgin Gorda were awarded to Alternative Concrete Solutions Ltd.

The contract to the tune of $94,423 was awarded for the Anegada project, while the company inked the contract for Virgin Gorda project for $72,308.

The fourth contract is for a solar facility for the Ivan Dawson Primary School in Cane Garden Bay. This project, which is being funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to the tune of $53,380, will be executed by ATEC BVI Ltd.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture, Dr The Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) said he was pleased with the work of the RDA and said he looks forward to the works being done on time and within budget.

Basketball 'almost a way of life' on VG- Hon Vincent O. Wheatley


Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Honourable Vincent O. Wheatley (R9) said he was also pleased that three of the four projects are being done in his district, especially the basketball court to provide an avenue for recreation for the children and people of Virgin Gorda.

He said basketball is “very, very dear” to the people of Virgin Gorda, adding that it’s “almost a way of life.”

In the meantime, Hon Wheatley said, “It’s a big deal,” referring to the upgrading of the administration building on Anegada that would pave the way for e-government services to residents.

“They are tangible things that touch the lives of the people” he added.
