The Ploiești-Comarnic-Brașov motorway should prevent drivers from spending hours in a DN1 column. At the moment, we are only working on the part between Râșnov and Cristian, which, however, does not solve much. However, the impact projects, the Comarnic belt and the stretch to Râșnov, are not going so well. For example, the tender for the Comarnic belt is suspended precisely because the documentation is deficient. However, those responsible for Drumuri assure that a working group has been created to “analyze the adequacy of technical solutions to field conditions and the environmental agreement.” Tenders launched on the basis of documentation with significant gaps only delay the realization of projects long awaited by drivers.
The Comarnic belt, part of the highway in the Prahova valley, is close to a resounding fault, say those from the Pro Infrastructure Association. The tender launched in August for the construction of 5 kilometers of highway is suspended due to numerous requests for clarification submitted by builders interested in the project.
Ionuț Ciurea, Pro Infrastructure Association: We have problems with geotechnical studies, which from what we have seen, from the answers to the clarifications, are only three drillings at depths of 6.10 and 20 meters. How are we going to found all the viaducts that will cross both sides of the river? You don’t have to be a super engineer to realize that it is very little.
And the problems identified do not stop there.
Ionuț Ciurea, Pro Infrastructure Association: The second thing is that the road crosses the river crocheted. The Romanian waters do not know if they will always give notice of such a thing.
Interested builders also note that the expropriations are only half done, which is recognized by the Road Company.
In addition, workers interested in carrying out the project say, the works of the 2006 feasibility study are not correlated with those of the environmental agreement, last revised in 2014. The members of civil society following clarifications requested by the Builders show that the documentation has serious deficiencies and that we run the risk of reaching the same situation as in 2015, when a similar tender was canceled due to lack of bidders.
The Infrastructure Company estimates that the design and construction of the Comarnic belt cost a maximum of 332 million lei.
The API also sounded the alarm in relation to the tender for the update of the feasibility study and the design of the Ploiești-Comarnic-Brașov highway, where only one company submitted a bid. One of the reasons why the designers did not rush to participate in the tender, say those of the Pro Infrastructure Association, is the too low price of the contract, about 57 million lei, which would represent less than 1% of the value of the plays.
For thorough preparation especially for a mountain road, best practices speak of percentages of 3-5%.
In response to Digi24, the Infrastructure Management Company acknowledges that initially 7 companies were interested in the project, requesting 75 clarifications.
Regarding the price of the contract, CNAIR says that the legal provisions on spending public money require it to determine the estimated value of a target based on clear and verifiable criteria. Generally, CNAIR determines the estimated value in relation to the objectives already hired and in relation to the number of experts needed to mobilize for the preparation of the respective documentation, the institution’s representatives sent Digi24 upon request.
The company also gives some examples of contracts to carry out feasibility and design studies won with bids between 45 and 57% of the estimated value at the launch of the tender, such as those for the A7 motorway, Ploiești-Buzău-Focșani- Bacău-Pașcani, for the Brașov-Bacău and Târgu Mureș-Târgu Neamț highways.
7 economic operators expressed their interest in this public procurement, which responded to no more than 75 requests for clarification, according to CNAIR.
