The work on the ground floor arrangement of the Great Scaffold under the Old Town, worth almost one million euros, has been postponed until the fall, and in the meantime the project could be redacted in some segments, the solutions of which caused a wave of dissatisfaction with the local government, part of the civil sector and local residents.
This was concluded at a meeting held at the end of last week, which was attended by officials of the Municipality, the Public Enterprise for the Management of Marine Resources, designers, representatives of contractors and the NGO "Society of Friends of the Old Town".
Secretary of Communal Affairs Adnan Alibegu said that the meeting took place in a constructive atmosphere and that the representatives of the Public Enterprise financed by the project and the designers expressed their willingness to cooperate in terms of changes and additions to the million dollar project.
Preparatory work on the ground floor arrangement of the Great Pier began on March 14 of this year, but was promptly interrupted and postponed until further notice because the Alibegua department did not issue an imperative decision to the Public Enterprise for the Management of Marine Assets for the passage of heavy trucks and excavators through one-way city streets or cobblestones to the Great Pier .
For this reason, he stated, members of the municipal police and the Police Directorate immediately went to the scene.
Alibegu then stated that the deadline at the request of JP for the passage of construction machinery via the Pier to the Great Pier was short, but even if it was not, his secretariat would not have given the green light until additional discussions on the disputed project were held.
The realization of that project is categorically opposed by the Municipality as well as by the Society of Friends of the Old Town. They claim that the first stronger storm would make a mess of the planned ground floor arrangement. That is why they believe that it is wiser to invest that money in some other projects, first of all in the training of Kacema, the construction of quality slipways for pulling out boats...
Alibegu previously told "Vijesta" that Ulcinj does not need another disabled project, like Kacema, which, as he stated, is absolutely dysfunctional.
However, JP coordinator for the municipalities of Ulcinj and Bar Omer Bajraktari then said that through the implementation of the million-dollar project, Ulcinj could soon get the first border crossing at the sea, which would probably be of a temporary nature.
The project for the ground floor arrangement of the Velika skela - wharf in the marine property zone envisages the installation of three standard service facilities.
After the end of the tender procedures, the JP was supposed to conclude a contract with the contractor for the one-story arrangement of the Great Scaffolding - Pier in the Morski Dobr zone within the DSL "Old Town Ulcinj - Sector 63". The contractor will be the company DOO "Erlang", and the investment for the first phase exceeds the figure of 800 thousand euros. With the second phase, the total investment is close to one million euros.
The planned use of that space, which includes a total of 4.600 square meters, is a square-pier with a green belt along the rocks at the foot of the Old Town. Ecological materials were used during the development of the Main Project. Finishing of the waterfront is planned from printed concrete and stone. It was planned that the work on the ground floor arrangement of the Great Scaffolding would be completed in 120 days.
