Only highly-graded contractors will be considered — MPP
KUCHING: Only contractors graded highly by Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) will be awarded projects through open tender next year.
Chairman Lo Khere Chiang said this new policy was set to raise the quality of MPP’s public service delivery system.
“We must ensure that the contractors to be engaged in implementing our projects be of certain quality, in line with the improvement in the quality of our public service delivery.
“Therefore, we will rate the contractors, awarding projects only those graded A and B. Through this way, we hope that the current contractors would raise their standards towards reaching grades A and B,” he told reporters after chairing MPP’s monthly meeting in Kota Padawan near hereyesterday, which also saw his deputy Dr Zaiedi Suhaili, secretary Andrew Joris and administrative officer Faridah Ismawi attending.
On a separate subject, Lo announced that the council had formed a specific team to deal with potential floods hitting areas under its jurisdiction in the coming days and weeks.
He said this team would report to the State Ops Room upon identifying any areas that were inundated.
The team, he added, would also be indirectly involved in providing aid and relief to flood victims.
“We anticipate that many areas under MPP could be flooded if downpour continued over the next several days. Resident can contact our hotline 013-8025566 in helping to report on any affected areas,” he said.
