Panama receives bids for rural road contracts
Panama's public works ministry (MOP) opened two bids for a contract to design and build 23.1km of roads in the Ngäbe Buglé indigenous territory of Chiríqui province.
At US$23mn, Costa Rican firm Constructora Meco submitted the highest bid, while local company Constructora Urbana (CUSA) posted the lowest, for US$20mn.
The reference price MOP had set for the contract was US$23.8mn.
The contract specifically entails building a 16.8km road to link San Juan, Cieneguita, Quebrada Hacha, Lajero and Alto Potrero, as well as a 6.33km branch road from Quebrada Hacha to Camarón Arriba.
The contract winner will also be in charge of building two vehicle bridges: one over the Jacaque river (50m), and another over the Quebrada Camarón ravine (25m).
Carrying out the relevant environmental impact and engineering studies will also be part of the contract.
The works will be financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and benefit 15,000 residents of the region's Besikó district.
