Sofia City Hall will announce on Tuesday the best offer in the public tender for a builder of a waste treatment plant in Bulgaria's capital, a Bulgarian-German tie-in being the most likely winner.
The consortium between the Bulgarian “Stanilov” company and the German “Heilit” submitted last weak an offer with the lowest construction price and operational costs.
The price offers for the Sofia City Hall's largest public tender were opened Wednesday with only 2 of the 9 bidders reaching the final stage - “Stanilov-Heilit,” and the joint offer of the Greek “Helektor” and the German “Hochtief .”
“Stanilov-Heilit's” price offer is BGN 208 808 700 while the cost for maintenance of the equipment is BGN 9 427 949 per year. The Greek-German consortium is offering BGN 240 614 029 and BGN 9 828 899 respectively.
After verifying the price offers, Sofia City Hall said there were mistakes in calculating the final price, but they were negligible and did not significantly change the bids.
The signing of the contract and the groundbreaking might be delayed by 2 to 3 months for some of the bidders have already announced they will appeal the procedure. The construction deadline is 2 years from the date of the signing of the contract. The plant will be located near the village of Yana, adjacent to Sofia.
