Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 March 2004
484 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding the tendering of contracts for a specific project; if the tendering process has been completed. [9957/04]
View answerThe Buttevant sewerage scheme has been approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2003 — 2005 under the rural towns and villages initiative.
Cork County Council submitted contract documents to my Department in February 2004 for the wastewater treatment element of the scheme which is being procured as part of a grouped design/build/operate contract that also includes Kilbrin and Doneraile. My Department has asked the council for additional information to enable the contract documents to be further considered.
In January 2004 I approved the council's contract documents for the sewage collection system for Buttevant and it is now a matter for the council to advance the tender process for these works.
