EoIs have been issued for the New Demerara River Bridge to be delivered under a build, own, operate and transfer model.
The project will see the country’s National Industrial and Commercial Investments company creating a special purpose company, "financed by debt and equity contributions following a public-private partnership model".
A pre-feasibility study was done for the construction of a new river bridge by the Public Works Ministry and has identified the best location to be between Houston on the east bank of Demerara and Versailles on the west bank of the river.
The deadline for submissions is 20 December 2013.
