There are strict regulations and guidelines which any firm working with these funding agencies must follow, dealing with the selection of engineering and contracting firms, each party’s responsibilities toward the Government and the Funding Agency, as well as payment, progress, quality and other conditions of the project. AECO has shown with its record of successfully completed projects, the necessary experience, organization, effort and ability to meet these conditions and manage such projects.
