RDA seeks consultants for road designs

The Virgin Islands Recovery and Development Agency (RDA) is inviting consultancy firms to assist in enhancing the BVI’s road infrastructure.

The request comes weeks after the government acquired a $100 million loan aimed at bolstering the territory’s infrastructure and economic growth. The RDA’s primary goal is to develop roads that can better withstand the effects of climate change and support the BVI’s expanding economy and population. The agency identified nine key road sections for improvement and plans to engage four consulting firms, each responsible for the design and construction management of two or three roads.

These consultants will be responsible for engaging stakeholders through all phases of the project and overseeing the entire project lifecycle, from planning and development to producing preliminary and final designs. The consultants will also assist during the tendering and awarding of construction contracts and supervise the implementation of the works. The expected duration for each assignment ranges from 12 to 24 months.
