Hochtief Solutions AG Will Rehabilitate Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport
October, 2013 - Bucharest, Romania
Hochtief Solutions AG, represented by Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP), was awarded the contract for the rehabilitation of Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport. The Court of Appeals dismissed the complaint filed by the consortium Astaldi - Alstom Company and UTI Group against the decision of the National Council for Solving Complaints, confirming its lawfulness and, implicitly, that of the assessment of the submitted bids. The decision of the Court of Appeals comes eight months after the publication in the Electronic System for Public Acquisitions (SEAP) of the participation notice for the award of the contract.
The project consists in the rehabilitation of the platforms for stationing aircraft and taxiways to the landing / take-off strip of the airport, covering an area of 155,253.68 sqm and its total value exceeds 17 million EUR. Approximately 70% of the sum comes from non-reimbursable financing granted by the European Commission from the European Regional Development Fund through the Sectoral Operational Transport Programme 2007-2013, with the rest being provided from the state budget.
Hochtief Solutions AG was represented by NNDKP both with respect to the complaints filed with the National Council for Solving Complaints as well as in court. The project was coordinated by two partners, Radu Damaschin (dispute resolution) and Adina Chilim-Dumitriu (public procurement).
