MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

REPORT AT DECEMBER 31, 2017

SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURES

The Major Infrastructure Development Programme is a US$352.941 million programme jointly financed by the China Ex-Im Bank and the Government of Jamaica (GoJ). The China Exim Bank has provided 85% financing by way of a loan and the GoJ has provided the remaining 15% of the programme funds. The works under the programme are being implemented under a construction contract initially signed on January 19, 2013 between China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC) and the GoJ through the then Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing, now Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation with the National Works Agency being the supervisory engineer.

The programme of works is divided into three (3) components as follows;

Major Works - This component totals US$220 million and is to be undertaken by CHEC itself.
Medium Size Works - This component totals US$82.941 million and is to be undertaken by Jamaican contractors under sub-contracts with CHEC. This is inclusive of the Local Component projects - MIDP-LC.
JEEP Works - This component totals US$50 million and is to be undertaken by most small Jamaican contractors under sub-contracts with CHEC. The focus of this component is minor infrastructure works including repair to gratings, sidewalks, drains, walls etc.

A review of the allocation of funds between the Major Works component, being implemented by CHEC, and the Local Component is underway.
