Trade West Construction Inc. is on schedule to start mobilizing to Palau by early March 2013 to begin the progress of repairing the Compact Road, reports the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE).
ACOE announced last week that the company is working diligently on completing the required administrative contract submittals in line with its schedule as they begin to mobilize. The company will be mobilizing equipments, office buildings, and materials needed for the project.
The Nevada-based construction company was awarded $4.8 million by ACOE in September 2012 to repair two damaged sections of the compact road, which have remained for years.
Mr. Brian Melairei, Manager of the Division of Capital Improvement Project (CIP) says the government of Palau will have no role in the construction or the construction management of the project.
He says a proposed meeting with ACOE next month may reveal more detailed information about the project such as the official start-up date.
