A New Rail Line for Salvador

By Leonel Menendez

 

(14 November)—The government of the state of Bahia has finally arrived at a decision about who will take charge of the railway project between Salvador and Paripe. — [1] — After an unexpectedly long selection process, the Secretariat for Urban Development announced last week that a proposal had finally been selected.

 

A joint venture between SOA International and ROOV Project Management was chosen to receive the contract. — [2] —. The Secretariat had insisted that a Brazilian firm be included in the contract. SOA International has long been involved in rail projects throughout

Brazil, Spain, and the Middle East. The Swiss company, ROOV Project

 

Management, was recently selected as Project Management Company of the Year by the International Project Management Institute. — [3] —.

 

           The line will be constructed in two phases. The first phase will make use of an existing rail line that runs from Salvador to Plataforma, but the track will be replaced ta accommodate the light-rail cars that SOA will build. The second phase will continue with the construction of a new track from Plataforma to Paripe. The long delay in settling on a vendor has caused the

Secretariat to offer incentives for the project to be completed in 30 months. — [4] —. However, Spokesperson David Rios of ROOV has said that 36 months would be the minimum reasonable time to complete the project because of unpredictable weather, labor, and supplies.

(A) It collaborated with ROOV before.

(B) It built the existing rail line.

  1. What does the article indicate about the project?

(A) It is the first of its kind in Brazil.

(B) Its delay is caused by insufficient funds.

(C) Its second phase involves building a new rail line.

(D) It will most likely be completed in 30 months.

Thread>Order not received

Posted on 15 May 11:49 AM by Frederick Wambu

 

Two weeks ago I ordered a shipment of books through dealdirect.co.ke. I did not receive the shipment, which was scheduled for 20 April. I called the shipping company, and the representative said that she has a record of someone accepting the package, but the signature is not legible. I called Deal Direct to make sure that the address they have on file for me is correct, and it was. I’m trying to figure out what my next step should be. I’m open to your Ideas. So far, I’ve put up notices in my apartment building, but no one has responded. I wonder if I should just forget about it and reorder books from a different company or spend more time trying to resolve the matter.

Ashby Logo Gets a New Look

(30 July)—A new logo tor the city of Ashby was unveiled by Mayor Charles Cavanaugh on Tuesday. The logo and its accompanying slogan, “Ashby Connects,” will be put to official use immediately. — [1] —.

 

The new design uses elements from Ashby’s original logo, including the red banner and the year of the city’s founding. — [2] —. But an image of the city’s skyline in silhouette gives the new design a more contemporary feel. The slogan communicates Ashby’s focus on creating community connections. — [3] —.

 

While Mayor Cavanaugh insists that the new logo is popular, not everyone is happy. “Why all the fuss?’ asked lifelong resident Noelle Davidson. “The old logo was very recognizable, I don’t know why they went to the trouble of replacing it.” — [4] —.

 

Local maps and the letterhead for official correspondence have already been printed with the new logo. Residents will also soon see it in promotional campaigns for events in the area, such as the annual used-clothing drive and the summer music festival. The logo and slogan are registered trademarks and may not be used without permission. For more information, go to www.ashbyconnects.co.uk.

Re: Contract

Dear Mr. Gillis,

 

Thank you for sending me your signed contract. It was good to meet with you last week and to hear about your vision for the woodworking business you hope to create.

 

Based on the features you want your woodshop to have, I have some solid ideas with which to move forward. From our conversation, I also understand that you have some cost concerns. I will certainly be conscious of this when working on the design plans and will be sure to use materials that are both structurally sound and economical. You can expect some preliminary sketches within the next two weeks. Once you have looked them over, let’s set a time to meet again, at which point any adjustments can be made and finalized.

 

I have already noted where your large pieces of machinery will be located. However, please let me know if you change your mind about anything, as I will need to figure out where the high-powered electrical cutlets should be installed. For the purpose of safety, I am required to ensure that all large pieces of equipment such as table saws have their own dedicated circuits.

 

I am looking forward to collaborating with you to turn your ideas into reality.

 

Best regards,

 

Pete Barth
