The restoration of the R1 Chisinau-Ungheni-Sculeni, between the 24th and 68th kilometers, must be ready by the end of this October. Such a provision is contained in the new plan of action for accelerating the works performed by the Czech company OHL ZS, IPN reports.
According to the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure, the Czech company allowed significant delays in implementing the contract and was thus penalized.
The deputy chairman of the Administration Board of OHL ZS refused to sign the new plan of action, arguing he is empowered to sign only if the beneficiary accepts to sign an additional agreement to the contract, by which the delay penalties will be annulled.
The contract for the rehabilitation of the R1 Chisinau-Unghen-Sculeni section was signed with OHL ZS in 2014. The works were to be completed on July 29, 2016. The value of the contract is of about €28 million.
