JKIA run way.[Photo/the-star.co.ke]The Government has revived plans for the construction of the Sh37 billion second runway at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after numerous delays due to lack of funds.
The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) said yesterday the Government had applied for financing from the African Development Bank (AfDB) for the JKIA Airfield Expansion Project, part of which would go to building the second runway.
In a notice in the dailies yesterday, KAA has invited consultants to bid for the tender to review the design of the project, supervise its construction, and act as the contract administrator.
“The consultant is expected to review the designs and ensure that the project is implemented in accordance with the general and particular conditions of the contract, the technical specifications, and engineering drawings,” said the notice.
The consultant will also be expected to ensure that the project is implemented within the contract price and time earmarked for completion.
