1. (SBU) Post provides the following update on recommendation
21:
2. (SBU) Islamabad's Narcotics Affairs Section performed a
technical evaluation of proposals for the design/build
contract of a new secure compound in Quetta. Of six proposals
recieved, two were found to be technically acceptable and two
conditionally acceptable. However, the contract has not been
awarded, because the Government of Pakistan has not approved
the originally designated construction site.
3. (SBU) A new construction site has been identified in the
same area. Post is awaiting written authorization from the
Ministry of Interior. Once the authorization is received,
the regional procurement support office will allow the
original bidders 3 weeks to amend their proposals, if
necessary. We hope this process will be completed and the
design/build contract awarded in August 2007.
