General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways:

The current procedure is already the second one, as all bids submitted in the first tender exceeded the amount allocated for the project. The repeated tender was held under slightly different terms, as previously announced. The scope of the investment was modified, and the sole criterion for selecting the contractor was price, subject to strictly defined quality requirements for carrying out the project.

Officials:

According to GDDKiA, in the past dozen or so months, non-price criteria have been treated by contractors as an additional risk whose fulfilment generated specific costs. This affected the value of the bids. Therefore, we made a change and require specific, unchangeable quality parameters, together with their exact descriptions in the construction and detailed designs. Due to the “Build” procedure provided for this project, we do not use the Standard Conditions for the Performance and Acceptance of Construction Works or the Functional and Utility Programme. The changes introduced allow potential contractors to estimate the optimal value of the project.

What is the scope of the investment?

The contractor will be responsible for carrying out construction works on the southern carriageway of the current DK18, from km 11.86 to 33.76, together with the construction of the Żary motorway junction at km 24.73 (reconstruction of elements of the existing half-cloverleaf junction) and the construction of engineering structures (three viaducts, three animal crossings over the motorway, a bridge and an underpass beneath the motorway).

What is the purpose of the project?

The aim of the entire project is to adapt national road No. 18, along the 70-kilometre Olszyna–Golnice section, to the standards of the EU road network with motorway parameters. The investment constitutes the second stage of construction of the A18 motorway; the first stage involved constructing the northern carriageway.

The investment is divided into the following construction sections:

  • Olszyna junction to km 11.86 (more than one kilometre beyond the Żary Zachód junction towards Wrocław),
  • from km 11.86 (more than one kilometre beyond the Żary Zachód junction towards Wrocław) to km 33.76 (nearly 4 km before the Iłowa junction),
  • from km 33.76 (nearly 4 km before the Iłowa junction) to the voivodeship border,
  • voivodeship border to the Golnice junction.
