Ferreira starts process to find new landfill manager

By NATARIO MCKENZIE Tribune Business Reporter nmckenzie@tribunemedia.net

T

he preferred bidder for the management and operation of the New Providence landfill is expected to be selected by midMarch next year, Environment and Housing Minister Romauld Ferreira stated yesterday, acknowledging the landfill was ‘no instant fix’.

Government has issued an expression of interest (EOI) for the pre-qualification of a request for proposal (RFP) to manage and operate the landfill.

The EOI has been published in the local dailies and interested parties can obtain a copy of the document from the Ministry of Housing and Environment. Once the EOIs have been received by the Tenders Board, they will be opened at its December 19 meeting.

The successful interests of the RFP upon payment of a nonrefundable registration fee of $10,000 are expected to submit technical and financial proposals to the Tenders Board of the Ministry of Finance by February 28. The proposals will then be evaluated by the review/selection team and a preferred bidder will be selected

by March 15, 2018.

“The EOI is a pre-qualification state for the submission of a request for proposal from suitably qualified private sector providers with the technical and financial ability to manage and operate the landfill. The goal is to provide for

BPL studying 19 bids from power generators

By NATARIO MCKENZIE Tribune Business Reporter nmckenzie@tribunemedia.net NINETEEN firms have submitted bids to provide 80 megawatts of power to Bahamas Power & Light (BPL).

The company’s management conducted a public opening of the bids yesterday. Whitney Heastie, BPL chief executive officer said yesterday that BPL has engaged an outside firm to conduct the evaluation of the bids. The company is still in negotiations with that firm.

Mr Heastie said BPL is looking for the ‘best option for its consumers.

The 80 megawatts of power generation the electricity provider is seeking, matches the 80 megawatts of rented generation BPL currently employs.

“The RFP was initially structured as being for 80 megawatts of rental generation for five years and then realising that we possibly can get some offers that would be attractive we modified that process,” said Mr Heastie, noting a longer term arrangement could be reached.

As to when BPL expects to conclude the process Mr Heastie said it is difficult to give timelines at this time. “We would like to have something sured up by the summer peak

$4.29 SOLUTION BEING SOUGHT FOR CLIFTON PIER SITE

By NATARIO MCKENZIE Tribune Business Reporter nmckenzie@tribunemedia.net ENVIRONMENT and Housing Minister Romauld Ferreira stressed yesterday the government is working on a long term solution to address environmental concerns at Clifton.

Speaking at a press conference on the expression of interest for running the New Providence landfill, Mr Ferreira stated: “We are in the process of developing a restoration and remediation plan that would be bid ready for the Clifton Pier site. It’s a priority and we are also working on a long term solution. It is receiving attention at the Cabinet level and it will be a solution that everyone will be satisfied with. We studied the problem, we understand what is going on there and now we are in the process of getting a properly engineered site remediation and restoration.”

Mr Ferreira said addressing the ongoing Clifton oil leaks is high on the Minnis administration’s agenda.

“What you have there is a heavily impacted site and it has to be remediated. You have multiple operators there offloading fuel,” he said.

Mr Ferreira also noted legislation which will give greater power to the Ministry of Environment is

TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, RETAILERS SEND US STOCK INDEXES HIGHER

By MARLEY JAY AP Markets Writer NEW YORK (AP) — US stocks rose yesterday as a mix of smaller, US-focused companies, technology firms and banks climbed.

Drugmakers struggled, which limited those gains.

Retailers and smaller companies rose for the third day in a row as their latest quarterly reports have investors feeling better about the US economy and the amount of shopping people are likely to do over the holidays.

Technology companies rose following another deal between chipmakers, and industrial companies also posted gains.

Companies that sell opioid pain medications tumbled after the government released a new,

much higher estimate of the costs of the ongoing addiction crisis. Merck fell after a good report from competitor Roche about a drug that competes with Merck’s cancer medication Keytruda.

Trading was relatively light. That’s probably going to be the case throughout the week as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and investors turn their attention to 2018.

Jeff Kravetz, regional investment strategist for US Bank Private Wealth Management, expects more gains for US stocks, but thinks indexes in other parts of the world will do better, as they’ve done this year.

“We’ve got developed markets working and we’ve got emerging markets working,” he said. “This is

Sir Sol Kerzner - a man the nation should honour

By NATARIO MCKENZIE Tribune Business Reporter nmckenzie@tribunemedia.net

WITH growing calls to recognise those who have made a difference in The Bahamas, leading luxury real estate broker Mario Carey today said the man he would like to nominate for Heroes’ Day in October 2018 might come as a surprise.

“He is neither Bahamian by birth nor has he taken centre stage in politics but probably no one has made a greater impact on the national economy and international image than Sir Sol Kerzner, the founder of Atlantis, the One&Only Ocean Club, and creator of Ocean Club Estates,” said Mr Carey.

“Sir Sol Kerzner put a modern Paradise Island on the map. I believe it is time that the Bahamian people honoured him for his vision, his belief in The Bahamas and his investment in this country at a time when it was desperately needed.”

Carey said he had been thinking about how best to organise an honour for the influential hotelier for some time, but recent news that the One&Only Ocean Club would be re-branded a Four Seasons by the end of November increased the urgency.

“The One&Only Ocean Club was pure Sol Kerzner, remodeled with immaculate attention to detail and style,” said Carey.

“Even after ownership changed, the image that Sol Kerzner created persisted.

If One & Only Ocean Club, the last vestige of Kerzner as a hotelier, does re-brand as announced, we owe

it to this remarkable individual to let him know how much has meant to The Bahamas over the last KERZNER quarter of a century.”

It was the early 1990s, said Carey, when Kerzner first looked at the hotel properties on Paradise Island and where others saw cracks in the walls, outdated buildings and signs of despair, he saw potential.

Over the next 20 years, he would pour more than $1 billion into renovations and new construction, creating more than 7,500 jobs, becoming the country’s largest private employer and second only to government in total numbers.

Kerzner’s investments in training and marketing are unparalleled in the country’s history.

“Without the vision of Sol Kerzner, it is hard to say where our tourism industry would be today. The man is not only a visionary of extraordinary proportions, he is also a hands-on operator, personally examining every detail and insisting on training standards the likes of which we had never

seen before in mass market tourism,” said Carey.

“He opened doors and created opportunities for so many Bahamians and I am one who was fortunate to be among those whose lives are better because of him.”

Carey, who holds a B.A. in real estate from Florida State University and the highest certifications in luxury property, has handled more than 135 transactions in Ocean Club Estates, including sales and purchases for all of the Kerzner family. In 2015, after more than 25 years in the business, including the presidency of his own firm, he launched the first international franchise of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. A triathlete and father of a son diagnosed with Asperger’s, the highest functioning form of Autism, he has been a strong supporter of R.E.A.C.H. and instrumental in garnering government support for persons with special needs.

“All of us have personal history that drives us to become what we are,” said the real estate giant who has handled more than $2 billion in transactions.

“Some rise to the top, making a difference along the way. Sol Kerzner was one who made the greatest

difference in the economy and while he was not a nation-builder in the traditional sense of the word, he helped build a nation that the world recognises for its beauty, warmth and hospitality.”

Kerzner was knighted by the Queen in 2010.

Now 82, the South African born hotelier maintains a residence in Ocean Club Estates, though the properties he nurtured have since changed hands.
