The municipality of the city of Kaunas has published the comment of the mayor Visvaldas Matijošaitis on the competition of the S. Darius and S. Girėnas stadium on the social network Facebook. It turned out that Kaunas already has the winners of the stadium competition.
“Lithuania is not very successful with stadiums, but I think Kaunas will be successful.” The whole city (and not only) eagerly awaits the resumption of work in the S. Darius and S. Girėnas stadiums, “says the mayor of Kaunas.
V. Matijošaitis announced that the winners of the competition have been announced today. However, details were still in no hurry to name.
“Finally, we can confirm that this prolonged pause has reached the goal: today, the negotiation procedures with the bidders have been officially completed, we have the winners.”
Unforeseen events and in accordance with all legal procedures, we are in no rush to name specific names, quantities and other details. We will make all of this public in the coming weeks when contracts with contractors are signed.
Experience so far has yielded many valuable lessons from which the correct conclusions have been drawn. As you know, public procurement procedures often do not go without complaints and disputes in court, but we hope this is not the case.
We all understand how important this object is for the city and the country in general, so we cannot allow the stadium construction project to stop. It must be finally completed. To this end, a very clear term was established, one and a half years after the signing of the contract.
I know that many Kaunas residents were looking forward to this moment, so we will do our utmost to ensure that in mid-August we can announce that the S. Darius and S. Girėnas Stadium continues to climb.
The strong support of the Government and Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis personally is particularly important here. The solid financial contribution of the state shows that the ambitions of our city are important for all of Lithuania.
The stadium is only one part of the whole big project: the sports hall will be reborn nearby, the whole square of Sporto street and the entrances to the stadium and hall will change significantly, and the reconstruction of the Ąžuolynas infrastructure will begin. The city is also preparing for the construction of a new athletics stadium, and there will soon be a series of works in the Song Valley, ”says V. Matijošaitis.
The Kaunas municipality announced earlier this month that it had rejected offers from both contractors in the stadium construction tender, but was continuing to negotiate with them.
The acquisition report indicated that the offers were submitted by the companies Veikmės statyba and Autokausta.
We remind you that the Municipality of Kaunas is looking for a new contractor for the stadium after the contract with the Turkish company Kayi Construction ended in January of this year.
One of the reasons for terminating the contract was the breach of the agreed schedule.
According to the municipality, the previous contractor carried out approximately a quarter of the work: the demolition of the old stadium structures was completed, engineering communications were established, the construction of an underground parking lot and VIP posts began.
The municipality of Kaunas signed a contract for the reconstruction of the S. Darius and S. Girėnas stadiums with the Turkish construction company Kayi Construction in 2018. In June, their value amounted to 34.95 million. euros
