CONSULTANCY FIRM APPOINTED TO DESIGN THE GAMBIA 50KM URBAN ROAD PROJECT
PACE&GAMECS has been appointed as the Consultant for the Design and Supervision of the 50Km Urban Roads Project.
This project will be constructed in the Greater Banjul Area ahead of the forthcoming OIC Heads of State Summit in 2022.
OIC Gambia in collaboration with Ministry of Transport, Works and Infrastructure (MOTWI) and the National Roads Authority made the decision after a very competitive process involving Six (6) sets of Saudi and Gambian engineering companies.
According to the contract PACE&GAMECS, which is a joint venture between Saudi Arabian and Gambian engineering consultancy firms, will provide detailed designs, pre-tender, and pre-contract services for a period of 7 months. Additionally, the team will supervise, manage, and monitor the execution of the 14 months road construction project.
The idea of having a Joint Venture partnership shows the commitment to promoting local content in all the OIC related projects in order to create employment and build local capacity.
Meanwhile on completion, these key and strategic roads will decongest and reduce pressure on major highways, improve the urban outlook of the country as well as facilitate easy and fast movement of people, goods, and services in the country.
