2. If you hold a contract from (General Contractor) CCA Bahamas, Ltd., West Bay Street - Nassau, Bahamas. Then you have one of two options.
a. you enter a claim in The Supreme Court (Common Law and Equity Division) for the balance owed to you, plus interest and cost. CCA Bahamas has not file for bankruptcy and should not be confused with the bankruptcy of Baha Mar.
b. you enter a claim in New York Southern District Court (a class action) would be the best action to take - considering cost and the collective effort of your group.

- In 2014 (Currently in discussion) The proposal address immediate and mid-to-long term issues related to the management and direction of the Road Traffic situation in the Bahamas. If accepted, our solution will position The Bahamas with the technology – to issue internationally compliant and secure drivers and vehicle documents, reduce fraud and better manage vehicle theft and other related crimes.
-
In a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with the Government of The Bahamas – Utsch GmbH – provider of Vehicle License Plate and Vehicle Registration Systems and Maha GmbH & Co. KG – provider Vehicle Inspection and Testing Equipment, as a consortium, propose a service bureau approach where:
• Utsch Bahamas Ltd. will make the necessary investment in blank vehicle license plate stock, the machinery (U-Press) and the necessary infrastructure which will electronically control and monitor the production and management of vehicle plate issuance in The Bahamas.
-
The proposal will also include the issuance of secure/tamper resistant (RFID Vehicle Registration-Inspection Decals) and the vehicle registration management software – the RFID decals or “3rd Plate” as it is called, when enabled, can electronically interface with law enforcement equipment, record traffic infractions and remotely update records – for example vehicle insurance fraud and vehicle theft can be effortlessly discovered by reading the encrypted data transmitting from the RFID tag technology.
• MAHA Bahamas Ltd. will make the necessary investment in a fully equipped four (4) line vehicle inspection test center which will include software systems and infrastructure development. The vehicle inspection test centers will electronically test and transfer vehicles test results to a central data center* where vehicle owner records will be updated. The test center will verify vehicle VIN, engine and transmission numbers, conduct test to determine roadworthiness (to agreed standards) and monitor vehicle emissions. Roadworthiness Test: Roller brake tester for cars, vans and light trucks Tire tread depth measuring Shock absorber test Side slip test Emissions test Head light balance test Odometer test Horn sound meter test Windscreen wiper test VIN number, transmission and engine number check Signaling, brake light indicator test Seatbelt and airbag test Tire inflation pressure
-
Data collected from these centers will create the key element of a new Motor Vehicle Title System (MVTS). The Title System, Vehicle Registration, Secure Vehicle License Plates and the RFID Decals – combined, will realize a 20% - 30% increase in revenue at the RTD, satisfy industry stakeholders, create access to vital, “never to be had before”, information and provide reports on usage and state of vehicles in the country.

CCA Bahamas should pay Bahamian sub contractors as was promised, many companies fell for the promise line: that "regardless: you will be paid for your work" I was told by senior CCA officials that the company (CCA Bahamas) did not have a money issue so payments would be make if we stayed on (at the Baha Mar Site) when it was becoming clear that something was not right at BahaMar.
Paying Bahamian subcontractors should be a condition to continue projects in the Bahamas – but we are Bahamians and we should always sit second fiddle to foreign investors. My company which was one of the last remaining companies to stay on at Baha Mar, before the Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a US Bankruptcy Court was announced, still has outstandings with CCA dating back to March 2015.
the big question and a points of clarification on the whole issue: *
(1) CCA Bahamas, the contractor for the former Baha Mar Hotel project, who hired (or have signed contractual agreements) with Bahamian subcontractor and owe them somewhere in the area of $75 million for work requested and performed at the Baha Mar site.
(2) CCA position is (they are not paying Bahamian subs until they are paid what they are owed by the former Baha Mar owners, but the former owner is on record that they own CCA Bahamas no monies.
(3) Bahamian subcontractors are of the belief that any sale of the former Baha Mar hotel project would include settlements owed to them by CCA Bahamas - ...but this maybe an oversight on behalf of the Bahamian Subcontractors.
(4) CCA Bahamas want to deflect its responsibility by saying because of the Baha Mar impasse it is not obliged to honor its contractual responsibilities to pay Bahamian Sub Contractors. But this is not the true case, CCA Bahamas is being selective in who is paid for personal advantage where it is expedient.
(5) Bahamian contractors are collectively owed around $74 million for work done at Baha Mar. New York federal courts maybe the resolve for Bahamian Subcontractors ...a class action is being put forward - please contact (bahamaspti@gmail.com) for information on this matter.
