Three tenders were received from prequalified Virgin Islands based construction companies for the construction of a new Joint Marine Shore Base Building.
Autland Heavy Equipment Co. Ltd, Metro Construction Ltd. and James Todman Construction, the three shortlisted/prequalified companies, submitted their tenders which included a technical and financial proposal for the construction of the Joint Marine Shore Base Building.
