(
HOW MUCH?
-
We anticipate that the budget for the building will
certainly exceed the EC threshhold of £3.4 million and the
project will therefore have to be published in the
supplement to the official Journal of the EC.
[if pressed] Cannot give a clear estimate until the design selection exercise is complete. (Would not in any case be wise to advertise the budget for a project which will be the
subject of competitive tendering.)
WHO WILL JUDGE THE DESIGNS?
-
Ministers will take final decision.
WILL THE ARCHITECTS BE PAID?
—
Yes.
HOW MUCH?
- A fixed fee of Hong Kong $150,000.
HAS THE EXPORT GROUP FOR THE CONSTRUCTIONAL INDUSTRIES BEEN
ALERTED TO THIS PROJECT?
-
Not yet but we will do so as normal.
WHEN WILL CONSTRUCTION START?
In 1993.
WILL FOREIGN FIRMS BE ALLOWED TO TENDER?
-
Yes.
