The Government of the Virgin Islands is requesting tenders for the construction of a new bathroom building at the New Market Square in Road Town.

Tenderers will provide all plant, labour, equipment and materials to perform all operations in connection with the excavation works for site clearance and substructure works; concrete reinforced foundation works; concrete reinforced beams, columns and slabs; exterior and interior finishes; and electrical and plumbing works.

Procurement Coordinator Mrs. Ishma Rhymer said eligible tenderers are required to submit Certificates of Good Standing in respect of the Social Security and taxes including Payroll and Property Tax from VI Social Security Board, National Health Insurance, Inland Revenue and the Commercial Registry.

Tenderers must also have a valid Trade Licence, and detailed work programme showing the order in which the various sections of works are to be executed along with other documents as outlined in the tender document. A Tender Bond/Tender Security of not less than 1% of the bid price must also be presented. This must be done in the form of a bank guarantee, banker’s draft, certified cheque, or a bond provided by an Insurance Agency. Failure on the part of tenderers to enclose the supporting documentation indicated above with each respective tender will render the tender non-responsive on the date of the opening of tenders.

Interested tenderers should submit one (1) original, three (3) copies and one (1) flash drive containing the bidder’s documents.
