In the Mykolaiv rehabilitation center for children with special needs, they are setting up the simplest shelter — they plan to spend almost 1.5 million hryvnias on the work.

The relevant tender is posted on the Prozorro public procurement website.

In addition to the basic repair work to repair the basement, the contractor must also make two entrances, install plumbing, install water pipes and sewers, install water heaters and install electrical lighting.

Bids can be submitted until October 24, and the auction will take place on October 25, 2024.

The selected contractor undertakes to complete all works by December 31, 2024. Payment will be made after the work is completed and the relevant acts are signed.

Earlier, the department of housing and communal services of the Mykolaiv City Council announced a search for tenders for the repair of the shelter in the communal institution — the Palace of Pupils' Creativity at 31 Admiralska Street.

We would like to remind you that the Mykolaiv Oblast was among the five oblasts that in 2024 showed the best indicators for building up and making shelters ready.

The situation with shelters in Mykolaiv

Only 7% of shelters in Mykolaiv are open. At the same time, there is a problem with the availability of shelters — there is no ramp or gentle descent. In April 2024, the people of Mykolaiv could not get into the shelter on the territory of the Kazka children's town during the air raid because it was closed. Based on this fact, the administration of the children's town conducted an internal investigation.

This is not the first situation with shelters closed during an air raid in Mykolaiv. Shelters in the Matviivka neighborhood, in the Tsentralnyi district of the city, and in the Yunist park were also closed during the strikes on Mykolaiv on March 17. After these cases, the mayor of Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Sienkevych, called on the residents to call the police if the shelter or storage room is locked during an air raid.

In general, Mykolaiv was on the list of regions with the worst shelter conditions. After inspecting the condition of the shelters throughout Ukraine, the NSDC recognized the unsatisfactory performance of the shelters for use in a number of regions and cities, in particular — Mykolaiv. After that, the mayor dismissed Oleksandr Herasymenia, the head of the department for emergency situations and civil protection of the population. And the first deputy mayor Vitalii Lukov was reprimanded.
