7XXXXXXXXX is not registered in Honduras yet, and as we investigate, this is a complicated process due to the government requires that at least one of the shareholder of the enterprise has lived one or more years in the country. In such a way, our intention is to participate organized as a "Joint Venture" with a construction company established in Honduras and other countries in Central America who has a great experience, and the license or permissions that authorize them by the government to provide construction services within Honduras, and they would be in charge of the construction, while we will provide the supervision, administration and management of the project due to our experience on this kind of contracts with I.N.L.

We believe that this method is advantageous for the project, because it would be boarded by a group of several professionals with experience (even working for I.N.L.), in addition that the legal and administrative order of the contract would not be altered, because a company with all the powers to operate in Honduras would be carrying out the construction.

We need to know if it is possible to participate in the bidding by this form of organization and thus to submit our proposal (Joint Venture of a Costa Rican company and an Honduras firm)
