A Tale of Two Casinos - help me do this maths…
According to ST (subscription needed):
"BIDS for the Sentosa integrated resort will be evaluated a little differently from those for Marina Bay," said Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang yesterday.
For the Marina Bay proposals, now being assessed, four out of 10 marks will go to tourism appeal, three to architecture, two to investment value and one to the reputation and track record of the bidder.
The same criteria will apply to Sentosa, but the weightage will be different.
For the Sentosa bid, tourism appeal takes 40 points out of a 100-point score, followed by design at 30 points. The amount bidders sink into the project will win a maximum of 20 points, and the remaining 10 will be awarded based on a consortium’s track record and reputation."
| So -> Marina Bay is: | And -> Sentosa IR is: |
| Tourism 4/10 Architecture 3/10 Investment value 2/10 Reputation 1/10 |
Tourism 40/100 Design 30/100 Investments 20/100 Reputation 10/100 |
Was something lost in the translation? Or Sentosa finer (imported) grained? :p
