More questions surface on bonds for Berbice bridge roads
The performance bonds issued by Dipcon Engineering Services Ltd, to the unregistered Caricom General Insurance Inc, were placed by two insurance brokers and enquiries so far reveal that none of the brokers registered by the insurance commissioner participated. Dipcon is the contractor for the Berbice River bridge approach roads. The Berbice River Bridge is a US$40 million project that is expected to be completed in the first half of next year. Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon said on Thursday that the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporat-ed (BBCI) should also write to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board, in relation to concerns over the issuance of the performance bonds by Dipcon. BBCI Chairperson Geeta Singh-Knight, in a letter to Public Works & Communica-tion Minister Robeson Benn last week had said: "As chairperson of the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated I am writing on behalf of the Board, and thereby on behalf of the investors in the bridge, to express our concern about the issue of mobilization advance and performance bonds to Caricom Insurance by the contractor (Dipcon Engineering Services Ltd)…" Singh-Knight had pointed out that Caricom Insurance is not registered by the Insurance Commissioner, "Therefore we have no means of assuring ourselves as a Board responsible for the execution of the bridge project that the insurance company is adequately capitalized to support the financial commitment implicit in the roads contract, and the Commissioner has no oversight authority to ensure capital adequacy is present and maintained." .
