Clearford signs CAD$1.1 million contract to supply water infrastructure to environmentally friendly housing development in Colombia
OTTAWA, May 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Clearford Industries Inc. ("Clearford" or the "Company"), (TSXV: CLI) announced today that Clearford Industries Colombia SAS, its 51% owned subsidiary in Colombia, has signed an implementation agreement with Bosques de Granada y Cayunda ("Cayunda") for the installation of the first Clearford SBSTM collection network in Colombia. As a term of the agreement it is expected that construction of Phase I (C$630 K) shall commence immediately. Subject to sales of Phase I lots, Phase II will commence following the completion of Phase I. Clearford has also been awarded the exclusive rights to negotiate the supply of potable water storage and a waste water treatment plant (est. $500k) for the Cayunda development. The total potential value of the project is CAD$1.6 million.
The Bosques de Granada y Cayunda (www.bosquesdegranadaycayunda.com) is a luxury development located on the western slope of the valley of the Teusaca River, 26 km from Bogota. The development is a green community designed to have minimum environmental impact, with 70% of the communal area covered by native forest. Unique aspects of the project include complete recycling of all waste water and harvesting of rain water to augment fresh water supply.
Clearford Colombia will provide Cayunda with a turnkey solution for all water infrastructure for the development, including: potable water supply; waste water collection and treatment; recycling; storm water management; and rain water harvesting. Construction of all systems will be managed by Clearford's joint venture partner AL Construcciones Y Proyectos SAS.
"This is a very exciting project for Clearford" said Kevin Loiselle, Clearford President & CEO, "Cayunda will be our second site in South America and our first opportunity to demonstrate Clearford's ability to deliver a holistic solution to water infrastructure. We have recently seen a shift in client requirements as they demand a complete and integrated solution to their water needs from a single supplier. Clearford has responded by leveraging its hydraulic engineering excellence and innovative SBS™ sewer into an offering of unified water systems".
Clearford believes the commencement of construction of its first project in Colombia will in short order result in follow on sales from its extensive Colombian sales pipeline.
