To support effective implementation, the Local Government intends to prequalify competent and experienced contractors for these works.

The prequalification process will ensure the engagement of contractors with the necessary technical, financial, managerial, and resource capacity to deliver quality works in accordance with required standards.

However, no contractor will automatically be awarded the full 10 km scope but the successful bidder will be awarded 2Km section contract and will be extended after a successful completion of the first work.
