Tender for Construction of Sewer in Kotez, Krnjaca and Borca Extended 4 Times Since March – Not Known Why

The tender for the designing and construction of primary and secondary fecal sewer systems in the municipality of Palilula, settlements of Kotez, Krnjaca and Borca, has been extended for the fourth time. The new application deadline is October 18, instead of the previous one, which was September 20.

In March, the EU Delegation to Serbia published the tender for the construction of the final phase of the fecal sewer on the left bank of the Danube, 80 kilometers long and with an area of 700 hectares, and the deadline was June 14. In early June, it was extended until July 14 and then until August 16, after which it was extended until September 20. At no point has the reason for so many deadline extensions been given.

Let us remind that the project will encompass the construction of a system for the collection of waste waters in the settlement of Krnjaca (split into five service zones) with connections for user support, the reconstruction of the pumping station Kotez (reconstruction) and the construction of the main sewer from the pumping station Kotez to the existing main sewer on the Zrenjanin Road, as well as the reconstruction of the sewer pumping station Borca and the construction of the main sewer from the pumping station Borca to the existing main sewer on the Zrenjanin Road.

It is noted that the system for the collection of waste waters, in certain zones, due to the characteristics of the terrain, will be designed and built using conventional technology, and in the others, as per the supplier’s choice, using the technologies of either vacuum or gravitation sewer.

As the former deputy mayor of Belgrade, Goran Vesic, announced earlier, the construction of the sewer on the left bank of the Danube will cost EUR 55 million, of which the value of the agreement on financing that the City of Belgrade signed with the EIB is EUR 35 million, whereas EUR 20 million is to be provided from the city budget.
