(No. B/1085) Mr C. Baboolall (First Member for Montagne Blanche & GRSE) asked the Minister of Local Government whether in regard to the construction of the Multipurpose Complex-one Stop Shop at Medine Camp de Masque, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain information as to the start and completion dates thereof, indicating the sum paid to the contractor as at to date and reasons for the delay thereof.
Madam Speaker, the construction of Multipurpose Complex at Medine, Camp de Masque was approved in financial year 2023-2024 as a design and build project at an estimated of Rs62 million and Rs25 million has been earmarked in the current financial year. The building will be located on a land of an extent of 11,240 square metres owned by the District Council of Flacq. In the meantime, the council is undertaking the construction of the block wall by its in-house labour. As at date, up to 60% of the wall has been completed. In August 2024, the District Council of Flacq has invited request for proposals for the selection of consultants for design of a multipurpose complex at Medine. It was launched with closing date 02 September 2024. Two bids were received. However, after evaluation of the proposals, none of them were found to be responsive. Given that the multipurpose complex will house different government entities, the District Council of Flacq intends to consult the relevant stakeholders before
99 proceeding with the relaunching of the tender for a consultant for the design of the multipurpose complex by the end of January 2026. The works on the site are expected to start in August 2026 and completed by September 2027. ELECTRICITY DEMAND – SOLAR SYSTEM KITS – PROFIT CEILING IMPLEMENTATION
