PST provided the lowest price
According to Vita Bubliauskaitė, Chief Specialist of the Department of Architecture and Territorial Planning of the Municipality of the City of Panevėžys, during the public procurement three tenders were submitted and the price presented by PST was the lowest, for which he won the tender. All additional information can be found here.
Summing up, V.Bubliauskaitė said that most of the explanations had to be provided regarding the technical project itself: “Potential contractors asked a lot of questions about the implementation of certain solutions, materiality issues. <...>. There were almost no questions about grades. “
The SEMC project has been promised to be completed in 2022. “If we plan under the current contract, then the arts center should be built in two years. The contract also provides for a two-month contract extension. After calculating this, it turns out that it will be built in 2023, “said V.Bubliauskaitė.
“Currently, the construction permit is in force, there were problems with the contract, but they are not related to the project itself, but to other issues,” the interviewee began. – The third place winner complained to the first place winner about the reasons for exclusion. And speaking of PST, as we all know, they got the ruling in June. So he complained that they did not pay that fine, but this is what was resolved and PST proved to the contracting authority that it had been cleared. Although we would not care if it is a first or second place, because their prices are very similar ”.
15 minutes recalls that with regard to the SEMC, the State Inspectorate for Territorial Planning and Construction requested the court to annul the construction permit issued by the municipality of the city of Panevėžys.
The main criticisms of the inspectorate were that the project in this municipal protected area declared by the municipality was not coordinated with the Department of Cultural Heritage, and the height of the building itself exceeded the height of 6 meters established in previous municipal documents.
After V.Bubliauskaitė asked a question about the height of the SEMC, 15 minutes He offered to contact Saul Glinskis, the chief architect of the city of Panevėžys, but when he tried to contact him, he cut off all calls and did not call again.
A discussion is taking place with S. Eidrigevičius
It is true that S. Eidrigevičius no longer agrees to name the new art center project with his own name, but the project continues.
“We must mention that there is the consent of the artist himself to establish an arts center in his name. It may not be necessary to intervene here, but by registering the institution, consent has been obtained. Otherwise, said budget institution would not be registered now, “said V.Bubliauskaitė.
SEMC Director Kristina Jakubauskaitė-Veršelienė stated that the artist is being contacted: “Now the contract work has started. Furthermore, subsequent negotiations and dialogue with the developer are not mutually exclusive. “
In which direction is it going? Was a compromise found? “We would like to speak when we know exactly, because it is a delicate matter. We are very careful and more than I say now, I would not want to and could do it.”
However, PST has already promised 9 million. euros. K.Jakubauskaitė-Veršelienė answered the question, what would the institution do if S. Eidrigevičius nevertheless decided to refuse to give his name to the institution? “This is too complicated a process for me to answer unambiguously. We believe that an agreement will be reached. “

D.Malinauskas: The government of M.Kvietkauskas and S.Skvernelis deceived the people
The architect, director of the Netildom Panevėžys Sound association, Donatas Malinauskas commented on the situation as follows: “As far as I know, S. Eidrigevičius repeatedly refused to give his name. So I think there is almost no crime in this state. And according to its name, there were still 3 million. from the European Union, government money. There is not even anything to comment on here. I think there is some anarchy in the state, construction, but not cultural interests ”.
When asked again if Mr. Malinauskas suspects construction interests, he replied:
“Think about whether the project was publicized, presented to SEMC, and the artist, disappointed with the proposal, expressed doubts about the originality of the project. He refuses to give his name and the government still allocates the money. Consequently, the public was misled. Let’s just look at the fact that more than 4,200 citizens have spoken out in favor of the conservation of the Garso cinema, while only 900 people have signed the petition initiated by the municipality. We see that the SEMC law not only ignores the will of the artist, but also shows the unconstitutional action of ignoring the opinion of the population. After all, the constitution says that government agencies work for the people. We see the opposite behavior. “
“As Garsui is over 50 years old, it is paradoxical that Evaldas Zilinskas, the president of the Panevėžys Royal Cultural Heritage Assessment Council, who has assessed the importance of Sound, is also one of the organizers of the SEMC project. The technical design carries the signatures and responsibilities of this specialist. How can you evaluate the importance of audio? They found no reason for the Sound to be given legal protection, although other experts, such as Marija Drėmaitė, said that this cinema was worth preserving. Because it is the only cinema with the largest screen in Lithuania, ”he continued.
“I believe that the Minister of Culture Mindaugas Kvietkauskas and the Government of Saulius Skvernelis simply misled the people with crude and arrogant methods,” commented the interlocutor.
At the end of November, given interview The Minister highlighted that one of the most important works he has carried out during this legislature has been “The Concept of Policy for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage and the action plan, now very recently approved, which launches our heritage protection reform with objectives and very specific deadlines. “
15 minutes He sent questions to the ministry, however, if the plan includes money for the preservation of “Sound” and if the ministry is really convinced that the controversial SEMC project is a good investment, we have not received it yet.
K.Jakubauskaitė-Veršelienė: yes, the city is changing
On the preservation of the cinema “Sound” on September 8 a picket was held. It was intended to draw the attention of the authorities to the fact that the building is worthy of becoming cultural heritage and should not be demolished.
Have there been any changes to the project at this stage? “For my part, it is not entirely ethical to comment, because it is a municipal-level problem,” said K. Jakubauskaitė-Veršelienė. – I am a representative of an appropriate budget authority. But as far as I know, there was no intention or intention to downplay independent cinema. You have to take a realistic look at changing living conditions <...>. Of course, during the construction process, people will experience inconvenience for some time. But later this situation should be resolved. “
I want to say that there are no completely accurate interpretations scattered in the public space, which are really very harmful.
However, questions arise not only about independent cinema, but also about Sound as an object of cultural heritage. “It just came to our knowledge then. This is the legacy of the Soviet system, – said K.Jakubauskaitė-Veršelienė. – If we want to re-analyze this issue, we must do it separately. I emphasize once again that this is not a building included in the heritage registry. There has been a lot of architectural experience on the value of this building. I mean there are incomplete interpretations in the public sphere that are really very damaging. “
“We are tired of talking over and over again. And we know that there are different opinions,” continued the head of the SEMC. He stressed that the process has already gained momentum and that it goes back to 2016, when the beginnings were formed, difficult.
Recalling the details of the request mentioned by D. Malinauskas, the interlocutor commented:
“And what to do for another part of the community that is not so noisy and is much more local? It is said that 4 or 5 thousand people voted in the petition. namely, the people of Panevėžys, it is inaccurate. The people of Panevėžys are definitely not there. If we already want to have some representative data, it remains to ask ourselves about the quality of the survey. I won’t say exactly now, but as far as I can remember, the statements were certainly not entirely correct.
I really liked the position of the architect Vidmantas Stankevičius, who made it very clear that here you can hardly see authenticity due to the changes that have occurred in history. Yes, I have a great lack of knowledge in depth in this debate, because many abstract phrases are omitted and they have done a lot of damage ”.
15 minutes He tried to contact Rytis Mykolas Račkauskas, the mayor of Panevėžys, but the politician could not comment on the situation, arguing that he is currently in a meeting. Asta Čeponienė, Head of the Department of Culture and Art, also did not reply.
