Bnamericas
Consorcio Caribe has been chosen to perform detailed engineering studies for the Transcaribe mass transit system for Colombian city Cartagena, an engineer at Transcaribe told BNamericas. A contract would be signed by the end of this month. The company's economic offer beat out three rival bids in a process that was decided Tuesday (Jan. 13). Details of the offer were not immediately available. The other short-listed groups were Consultoria Colombiana/Ingenieros Consultores, Union Temporal JMV-MD, Consorcio Diseno Caribe/Consorcio Pablo Emilio Bocarejo Ingenieros Consultores/Compania de Estudios, and Interventorias. Transcaribe is a mass transit project that aims to solve the traffic problem in Cartagena. It will consist of a 14km trunk road with 23 stations from the El Amparo district to the Bocagrande tourist sector. The Colombian government has agreed to provide 137.9bn pesos (US$48mn) for its construction. A bidding process for the construction contract will be launched in April 2004 and works should begin before end-June.
