The bid that was practically double the engineer’s estimate belonged to a firm called CB General Contracting Services, not to be confused with Courtney Benn Contracting Services Ltd or CBCSL as they are commonly called in the field, whose two bids were actually below the engineer’s estimate in both cases and almost half the estimated value in the case of Lot two.The Bids submitted: Upgrading Roads at Parfait Harmonie, WBD, Region # 3BIDDERSLOT 1LOT 2BK International$54,813,176$46,983,087Courtney Benn Contracting Services Ltd$43,Cheap Jerseys For Sale,127,524$26,205,828Kears Engineering Inc$41,428,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,310$33,453,805G.
