According to the explanation provided by the mayor of Cluj, Emil Boc, in the extraordinary meeting of the local council on Monday, the only offer that was submitted for the construction of section 2 of the metropolitan belt had values higher than those estimated for this project.
Boc: “Legal, I had no other solution”
At the same time, the association led by Con-A Operations has 10 days to contest the decision of the Cluj authorities.
“The sole bidder could not proceed because the bid is non-compliant and was declared inadmissible.
It got here because any offer must fall within the estimated value. The law makes it possible, exceptionally, for the maximum value to be increased by 15%. This, if all bidders have exceeded the value by a maximum of 15%”, explained mayor Emil Boc.
The value of the metropolitan belt project has already been increased, precisely to allow the continuation of the bidding procedures. The National Public Procurement Agency did not approve the 30% cost increase of the metropolitan belt project.
“The city hall legally had no other solution. We have analyzed in detail and we cannot ignore the opinion of the National Public Procurement Agency. That’s why I declared this offer non-compliant”, explained mayor Emil Boc.
