Expression of Interest
Notice Description
The Government of The Bahamas is seeking an initial Expression of Interest (EOI) from contractor firms ("Applicants") to undertake the replacement of the Glass Window Bridge (Eleuthera). The Government of The Bahamas has agreed in principle, funding through the United Kingdom Export Funding (UKEF) facility, with 85% of the contract value guaranteed by 100% UKEF buyer credit and the remaining 15% from a commercial bilateral loan agreement. Both these elements will be provided by Citibank, selected as preferred lender by the Ministry of Finance. Citibank has received a signed mandate for the Glass Window Bridge financing. The proposed Glass Window Bridge is a substantial structure consisting of multiple spans made of prestressed beams, giving a total bridge span of 2118 ft (646m). These beams will be continuous over the piers with cast-in-place concrete diaphragms. Additionally, a 300 ft (91.4m) bridge is to be built north of the Glass Window Bridge to mitigate overtopping in that area and 335 ft (102.1m) of retaining walls, along with redevelopment work in the area including a visitor centre.
