Taboada wastewater treatment plant concession attracts three offers
Three firms have recently presented proposals for Peru's Taboada wastewater treatment plant concession.
Offers were received from Spanish group ACS, and the consortiums Concesión Taboada - comprising the firms Keppel from Singapore and Brazilian Odebrecht - and Agessbio, formed by the Brazilian Andrade Gutiérrez and Chile's Essbio.
All three proposals comply with the bidding rules, according to Peru's Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversión).
The treatment plant concession is one of the government's priority projects, and was declared of national interest in a decree issued last December.
The project is part of an integrated plan to treat Lima's wastewater and will treat approximately 60% of the city's wastewater, which is currently disposed of without any treatment into the sea and the Rímac river.
The concessionaire will build, operate and maintain the plant, which will have the capacity to treat 14m3/s.
The 25-year concession will be awarded in the next few days and will require an estimated investment of 1bn soles (US$310mn).

Oltursa set to invest post-changes
Oltursa hopes to invest US$8mil this year as long as the Peruvian Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC) emits new national transport regulations, allowing companies from the sector access to new routes. The US$8mil would be split as follows: US$6mil will go on the acquisition of buses and the other US$2mil on infrastructure (the construction of new sales-points and terminals etc). David Olano, executive president of Oltursa, is hopeful the new regulations will be issued at the end of this month. The company currently has a fleet of around 45 buses and wants to move up to 60. New destinations that would be attractive to Oltursa include Tacna, Cajamarca and Huaraz. It posted sales of US$14mil in 2008 and the road-transport firm is looking for 10% growth in 2009.
