Sofia City Hall Fines Road Repair Firms
Politics | August 30, 2007, ThursdayThe Sofia city hall fined four firms that have repaired streets in the Bulgarian capital this summer a total BGN 150 500, mayor Boyko Borisov told reporters on Thursday.
The firm that repaired Tsagrigradsko Shosse, one of the key thoroughfares of the city, was fined BGN 125 000, after a city hall review found 14 sections, with an average length of 25 meters each, where the tarmac is slightly raised above the rest of the boulevard.
"The city has not paid a single penny for the repairs on Tsarigradsko Shosse, and we will not discharge the funds until the work is completed to our satisfaction," Borissov said.
If the firm fails to fix the botched sections within a month, the city hall will pay none of the BGN 750 000 for the repairs, he added.
The company could use the four-day weekend at the beginning of September, when Bulgaria celebrates Unification Day, to work on Tsarigradsko Shosse, otherwise it would have to carry out all repairs at night, according to Borissov.
The city hall also fined three more firms a total BGN 25 500 for delays in carrying out repairs on minor streets in the city.
