The Macedonians are designing a road across the Boka

"Monteput" chose the offer worth 144.900 euros made by the company "Građevinski Institut Makedonija" as the most favorable in the tender for the conceptual solution for the section of the expressway, which will cross the Bay of Kotor and connect Herceg Novi and Budva. This company will perform the work with two subcontractors from Podgorica, the companies "Geotest Engineering" and "lnstitute for Construction".

This is written in the decision that was published on the website of Montenegrin Electronic Public Procurement (CeJN) on June 20, which can be appealed for another six days.

This tender was announced in mid-April and lasted until May 7 and was worth 181 thousand euros. This is the second tender for searching for the route of this road, after the earlier one, which was announced in February, was canceled at the beginning of March due to incorrectly made or incomplete statements.

The designer's task is to analyze all variants of connecting the two coastal cities, especially considering the restrictions in the area of ​​Kotor. This tender, that is, the documentation, is the basis for determining the position of this corridor in the proposal of the Spatial Plan of Montenegro (PPCG), and will also serve as a plan for future Government investments in traffic infrastructure.

The draft PPCG did not offer a final solution on how to make this expressway go around the centers of coastal cities, shorten the distance between them, cross the Bay of Kotor and reduce congestion. The bridge near Verigo is listed as one of the options, but there are negative opinions about it. Another option is to continue the high-speed road from Tivat across the Luštica peninsula, and to cross over to the Hercegovina side near Kumbor. The start of the route is at the border crossing Debeli brijeg, then through the hinterland of Herceg Novi it ​​reaches Tivat or Kotor and connects to the section from the Bratešica zone to Budva.

The commission for the implementation of the public procurement procedure rejected the offer of the Kolašin consortium "Viamont", because according to the Law on Public Procurement, one of the members of the consortium "IGH Mostar - part of the foreign company IGH Podgorica" ​​is excluded because, as part of a foreign company, it does not have the status of a company, entrepreneur or physical entity. faces.

In addition, the offer of the company "Via project" was also excluded because they guaranteed in their statement that they had paid all taxes and contributions, which after checking was not the case, because that company had a debt of 278 euros based on taxes and employee contributions. The commission found that the company did not provide correct information and did not meet the conditions, which is why it was excluded from the tender.
