if you gonna leak info, don't leak info that blows back on you, the PM saying she's been duped (yet again) is she the leader? Some unnamed Cabinet member saying "they had no choice, cause it was done and then the bill come" who they fooling, it came to you twice before for $10M and you rejected it, so how could you "not know" so no one had the common sense to check the cost of a tender vs what they claim they were told? So why reject the $10M then if that's 1/5 the price of a tender? Seems the PM accustomed to ppl peeing in her mouth and telling her is mauby

President of Sammy’s Multilift Ramdath Ramsubir wrote: “I know it was justified. It was around $6 million. I do not understand why this has to be an article in the first place.
“The point is we specialise in our field. A price was based on our expertise and equipment. “I know what we would normally cost clients for jobs like that. I am justified in what we did. When people ask we will justify. I gave you a ballpark figure but you continue to ask more and more questions.”
“We had to use three different cranes and then equipment to transport it after it was taken out. “It required a lot of equipment and manpower. It took us four days. We used modular trailers and we had other mobile equipment that was used to minimise traffic. We had about 25 people on site who literally camped out there.”
The contractor, in an invoice dated November 20, 2012, submitted a $10.1 million bill, breaking down into: $7.5 million for supply of equipment alone; $303,600 for supply of manpower; $522,500 for supply of supervisors; $100,000 for transportation of workers; $150,000 for “miscellaneous tools (compressor, power tools), supply, transport and with operator”; $115,000 for “consumables”; $65,000 for hygenic facilities and $65,000 for meals — all over three days.
“Due to the narrow roads leading to the site of the accident, Lowboy and 40ft trailers were not able to traverse that road. As a result, equipment had to be offloaded approximately 7 km from the accident site and be tracked to and from the final destination,” the unsigned report, in support of a claim for $10.1 million (of which $6.8 million was approved by Cabinet), reads. The narrow road had implications for the operation, extending the time needed.
“This required a significant amount of coordination, effort and operator banksman skills to execute same. This part of the mobilisation took approximately seven hours each way. The fire tender was approximately 100 ft down the precipice,” the report states. The report details how riggers were lowered into the ravine.
“Due to the fragile surrounding area of the accident site, large wooden crane mats were carried to the site and placed as a foundation for the 250-ton crawler crane with the assistance of the forklift,” the report states. “The crane was then positioned on the wooden crane pad foundation; riggers were then safely lowered approximately 100ft to the fire tender in order to secure the rigging to the same.”
The fire-truck — a 3,000-gallon Rosenbauer water-tanker — was then lifted out with the use of two excavators and the 250-ton crawler crane.
“The tender was then lifted out of the precipice in a synchronised manner with the assistance of two excavators and the 250 ton crawler crane,” the report states. “Having brought the tender up onto the road, the excavators were used to turn the tender back onto its wheels. The tender was then literally ‘walked’ down the hill using two excavators and forklift for approximately 7 km to the point where the trailer was on standby. The fire tender was then loaded onto the Lowboy and brought to the Fire Service Headquarters in Chaguanas and offloaded.”
Documents attached to the report list three days, over which mobilisation, operation and demobilisation took place.
