«‎We hope that they will complete the work by the end of the year»: the contractor has once again missed the deadline for the repair of Bohoyavlenskyy Avenue in Mykolaiv

The housing and communal services department of the Mykolaiv city council has once again extended the deadline for the repair of the road along Bohoyavlenskyy Avenue in the Korabelnyy district. The contractor must complete the work by November 15 of this year.

This is stated in the text of the additional agreement on the public procurement portal ProZorro, «NikVesti» writes.

It is worth noting that the last time the State Regional Government Office extended the repair deadline for the contractor until September 30. Although, according to the tender documentation, the contractor had to repair the first and third sections by August 15 of this year, the second — by June 15.

Dmytro Bezdolnyy, director of the housing and communal services department, believes that this is not the last extension of the deadline. In a comment to «NikVesti», he said that most likely the repair period will be extended for another month.

— The contractor promises to finish all asphalting works by the end of October. According to his calculations, by November 15, he will finish other works on the arrangement of pedestrian zones and a sanitary strip. My experts believe that it is realistic to finish the asphalting by the beginning of November, and in terms of the total amount of work, it is unlikely that the contractor will invest in these terms. Maybe a miracle will happen, but we are thinking realistically, and I think there will be an extension for another month. We hope that he will complete all the work by the end of the year, — said Dmytro Bezdolnyy.

He also noted that the department has some comments to the contractor regarding the equality of installing curbs on the road section near Torhova Street.

— In any case, we will not accept these works in this quality, — emphasized the director of the department.

Regarding whether the contractor will be allowed to participate in future tenders, Dmytro Bezdolnyy answered that it will depend on the speed of execution of works as of now. If the company continues to miss the deadlines, the department will seek possible legal avenues to limit further cooperation.

— Because it's not work when our deadlines are delayed for half a year, when we always get into arguments,— he said.

Earlier, «NikVesti» reported that the Department of Housing and Communal Services of the city council concluded a contract for the current repair of the road in the amount of 112 million 920 thousand hryvnias on Bohoyavlenskyy Avenue with the Vinnytsia enterprise «Mego LTD». Later it became known that the contracting company was disrupting the deadlines for the work. After that, the «anti-corruption» department of the city council threatened the contractor with a fine.

This firm actively worked in the Kherson region. Later, the publication «Our Money» reported that the police are investigating the abuse of official position by officials of the Kherson regional administration and the «Local Roads of the Kherson region». In the course of the pre-trial investigation, it was established that within the framework of the «Major construction» program, the SE «Local Roads of the Kherson region» concluded a number of agreements on the repair of roads with «Buildgroup» LLC for a total amount of 62.89 million hryvnias and «Mego LTD» LLC — for 280.03 million.

On August 14, the Housing and Social Services Department reported that the contractor had already missed the deadline for the work for the second time. Thus, as of mid-August 2023, the repair of three sections of Bohoyavlenskyy Avenue was completed by only 30-35%.
