@A4architect,
We need to isolate fact from opinion.
Let us start with your arguements in Nipate
===> here:
1. Your beef was that she is engaging other cheaper services from government institutions which are cheaper and undercut the proffessionals in the market right? at least that is where you started;
So those services offered by UNES (University of Nairobi Enterprise Services - to public entities )and i dont want to list them should be discontinued because there are many professionals out there who can offer the same services at a higher fee and promote the economy right?
sorry i did not attend economics for dummies
I do not want to list how many universities, colleges and government research and service institutions / department offer services on a government to government basis without having to undergo the rigors of tendering. yet similar services are offered by professionals or are your professionals special, vets should be up in arms againsy Upper Kabete Campus and Egerton/ AHITI or KARI etc
Doctors should be up against UoN , Moi Uni, KU etc
technical university i saw them repairing street lights for government institutions to electrical Engineers ought to riot no?
2. Valuation Services: I stand guided but having read the charges and the answers, the valuation in question is not valuation for ascertain market value of asset eg houses which is governed by the Valuers Act
We are talking about preparation of architectural Drawings and specifications, preparation of Bills of quantities and issuance of interim certificates.
in practice most of this kind of work is done even by artisans/ technicians, QSs (trust me on this one and dont even debate) we dont have enough architects to go round even staff at Public Works whom you praise are HnDs and regular diplomas and artisans
My question to you Which standard bidding documents among those listed
===>did she fail to use?
which among the eight or so prescribed procurement methods did she fail to use
3. Knowing public procurement the way you claim to know it, there must be a user department at the judiciary that planned the works, prepared the specifications, the procurement department
invited tenders or otherwise failed to , some committee evaluated the tenders, another one awarded etc
why are we not smoking the whole chain out and singling GBS
How safe is the nect CRJ? that is the subject of my other thread
Without fear or prejudice
