Construction companies in the United States, which for years have steered clear of Panama government projects because bribery allegations have clouded bidding processes are among those interested in bidding for a contract to build a power transmission line from Colon to Panama.
The project is tendered by state-owned Etesa, with a reference price of $98.5 million, Finance Colombia reports.
