However, for reasons known only to Government,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, it did not pursue that course. The same Brazilian consultancy firm was hired to provide its expertise.Local construction firms that responded to Government’s advertisement for the laying of the cable were given a site visit.“And, it was at that initial meeting between Government, the contractors and the consultant, the disagreements between the engineer and consultant started.”According to the source, local contractors left the site believing the project was “easy peasy” and one contractor even boasted that his company could have done the entire project for $150M.
