Since the last supervision mission in November, 2011, the team notes that the Project continues to be on its track to meet the development objectives. The two pilot works in Belmopan and San Ignacio/Santa Elena were completed and they provided useful lessons to be applied in the design and contracting of the street improvement works for the Town and Cities Councils (TCCs). The first work contract under Phase 1 Investment (building rehabilitation in Punta Gorda) was awarded (about U$ 236K) in March 2012, followed by Dangriga s town market contract (about U$738K) which was awarded in May, 2012. Detailed engineering design for street works in the remaining six TCCs was completed and a bidding process for the same commenced in May. Contract awards for the three street works are planned for the first half of June, 2012; the bidding process for two NCBs and remaining shoppings are expected to be completed by September, 2012. Supervision contract for the street works has also Page 1 of 6
been awarded. Revenue enhancement TA supported by Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) is proceeding satisfactorily and demonstrating concrete results and impact on the ground, including agreeing to develop a cadastral information-sharing MoU between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Agriculture and TCCs. A specific work plan for the revenue enhancement is being implemented in Dangriga and will be rolled out to the rest of TCCs. In addition, the scope of three additional TA programs (urban growth plan, municipal asset management plan and budgeting, and traffic management enhancement) was agreed and the procurement process for the TA programs is under way. Despite the progress, the team also notes challenges associated with keeping the project's implementation plan and disbursement on target. In particular, the team discussed with the BSIF about the need to improve project management and procurement capacity within the PIU. After reviewing carefully demand/work load of the project's engineering review and procurement process, the team and BSIF agreed that additional engineer and a procurement officer will be recruited by the end of August, 2012.
