Vilniaus Vandenai Director on Trucks Hauling Composted Soil Over Strange Routes: Doubt



[ad_1]

Several Vilnius residents recorded strange truck routes, who saw the trucks leaving the territory of the Vilniaus Vandenai sewage treatment plant, climbing a mountain and stopping near the Gariūnai market.

Steady for over an hour and then comes back. According to the road maps, each truck at that time had to transport about 20 tons of compost soil to the fields in the Vilnius district.

The Bioineksas company won the sludge treatment and management contest last summer, and has been carrying out the works since February this year.

Vilniaus Vandenys claimed that they pay for the sludge treatment in installments, so there will be no overpayments for empty driving: paid by transferring the sludge to Bioinex and 40%. – when the service provider composts the dried sludge, provide the results of the compost test and remove the composted soil.

The company settles accounts with the service provider only after it has fulfilled its obligations, after removing the composted soil from the Bioineks sludge composting site on the territory of the treatment plant and presenting a certificate where the compost is sold. The exact amounts of exported transferred, composted and composted sludge will be recorded in the monthly reports. “

Marius Paulauskas, head of the UAB Bioineksas, explains the situation as follows: that the drivers saw that someone was following them, and they did not want to reveal the trade secret to whom this compost land was destined, they did not go anywhere. Also, machines sometimes come back if they are not accepted by customers, say due to weather conditions.

Vilnius was also interested in history. Council Control Committee, chaired by Agnė Zuokienė 15 minutes He argued that an attempt was being made to collect all the information and then perhaps even consider contacting the police if the need arose.

Pass verifying data

Marius Švaikauskas, the director of Vilniaus Vandenai himself, does not hide that this story has generated many questions for him, so he has postponed other works for the moment and is trying to delve into the data of this situation.

“I am not convinced of everything, I have to see it for myself, maybe then my doubts will finally dissipate,” said the director.

According to him, Vilniaus Vandenys does not value the statements of the head of the Bioineksas company, which won the sludge management project, that someone followed the trucks, so they did not drive to the final point where the compost ground had to be cleared. .

For us, the key is documentation, compliance, and proper compost management.

“I don’t even appreciate this thing – we listen, we explain it, we listen to it. For me, that explanation is neither better nor worse. I took every precaution to go through the whole process at once and I will do it myself, the whole team, Senior executives evaluate the whole process, we look at where the risks might lie, we measure the mud piles ourselves. It seems we have contributed fuses to the contract. They are responsible, those explanations are for them, not for me.

For us, the key is documentation, compliance, and proper compost management. If they were followed, or how, or if there are trade secrets, they are not ours, we do not hire them for that, we want the mud to be separated.

If they suspect something, let them go to the pre-trial investigation authorities or elsewhere. Because if the rights of “Vilniaus vandenai” are violated and we find at least one objective thing that we have not found so far, we will not hesitate to go to the educational institutions “, assured M. Švaikauskas.

Consider terminating the contract

He assured that there is certainly no intention to tolerate any breach of contract or any illegal action. It is said that a tender was launched so that more than one company could participate in it, as the company that managed the sludge formed at the Vilniaus Vandenai sewage treatment plant for many years had been criticized for inappropriate activities.

“The most important thing for us is that no part of the recycled sludge will be paid,” said M. Švaikauskas, ensuring that the company did not receive an invoice for the sludge allegedly removed by trucks traveling on those days (last week of November) . . According to the director, Vilniaus Vandenys received an invoice from November in early December. He also assured that the invoices would be paid within 40 days only after verifying the details.

If Vilniaus Vandenai’s rights are violated and we find at least one objective piece of information to prove it, we will go to the educational institutions.

“We make sure this is not translated as a haven, so please provide recipients with your signatures, etc. This is an additional measure to ensure proper arrangement, an additional control fuse, ”said M. Švaikauskas, adding that weighing reports, sludge transfer and laboratory data are also compared.

“We have checked everything on a preliminary basis, but I have also started an audit. Perhaps the audit could offer some additional control measures,” said the director of Vilniaus Vandenai, who expects the audit conclusions to be ready by the end of the year.

He did not hide that he had doubts and if they were confirmed, Vilniaus Vandenys would try to terminate the contract with the contractor. However, so far there have been no complaints about the process of the winning company for the sludge management contest.
