Bulgarian Man Arrested for Attempting to Bribe Traffic Police with BGN 20
In Stara Zagora, Bulgarian authorities apprehended a 35-year-old man who attempted to bribe traffic police with a BGN 20 banknote
The complaints of the Austrian road construction consortium "Strabag" and the Greek builder “Terna” over the “Trakiya” highway public tender with Bulgaria’s Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) have been rejected.
CPC informed Thursday that the dispute regarding the selection of the contractor to build Lot 2 of the highway - the Stara Zagora – Nova Zagora section and the request to halt the public tender are unfounded.
The group's proposed cost for the project was almost three times lower than the highest offer received, at EUR 2,2 M per kilometer, while in 2005-2007 it had built the section from Orizovo to Stara Zagora for EUR 2,4 M per km. Because of the low price submitted, the company will be asked for additional justification, said chairman of the selection committee Dimitar Margaritov.
This is the second “Strabag” and “Terna” complaint with CPC. The first one was also rejected.
