The State Commission overturned the decision of the Municipality of Tivat on the assignment of the job: Buća-Luković will have to undergo rehabilitation

At the same time, the Commission did not at all enter into the evaluation of the merits of the specific remarks and complaints of "Europrojekt", which, among other things, claimed that the Municipality of Tivat, as an investor, entrusted the export of construction work on a protected cultural property to a company that does not have a permanently employed conservator-restorer.

The State Commission for the Control of Public Procurement Procedures completely annulled the tender of the Municipality of Tivat for the selection of contractors for the reconstruction of the building of the tower of the medieval summer house Buća-Luković in Tivat.

By the decision of the Public Procurement Service of the Municipality of Tivat, this job was awarded to the company "Bombeton" from Cetinje, which was ready to carry out the project, which was estimated at 95.000 euros including VAT, for 84 euros. The second-ranked bidder, the company "Europrojekt" from Podgorica, complained about that, and the State Commission for the Control of Public Procurement Procedures, ex officio, completely annulled the decision of the Municipality of Tivat on the selection of "Bombetin" as the contractor, because this entire tender procedure, as stated in the explanation, was repeatedly inconsistent with the Law on Public Procurement.

At the same time, the Commission did not at all go into the assessment of the merits of the specific remarks and complaints of "Europrojekt", which, among other things, claimed that the Municipality of Tivat, as an investor, entrusted the export of construction work on a protected cultural property to a company that does not have a permanently employed conservator-restorer.

Namely, the municipality of Tivat was looking for a contractor who would complete the reconstruction of the tower, which is the most striking feature of the medieval summer house complex in the city center, which has the status of a protected cultural monument of the second category, within 50 days from the day of the start of work.

This complex houses the premises of the Tivat Museum and Gallery, as well as a small open stage of the Tivat Culture Center, and the tower itself has been used in recent years as a space for exhibitions of an ethno-museological nature. Although the specification of the work called for a series of conservation-restoration works to be carried out on the tower, the Municipality entrusted the work to a company that does not have a full-time conservator-restorer.

Among other things, the local administration intended to install new wooden joinery on the tower of the summerhouse, replace the entire roof and install a new wooden roof structure with a smaller drop in the roof area, more appropriate to the former original appearance of this building from preserved old photographs.
