“We have completed the tender procedure and selected the contractor for the work,” says starosta Tomasz Gabrysiak. “The cost of this project is significantly lower than originally planned.”
After the tender was decided, it turned out that the contractor had offered a price nearly PLN 500,000 lower than the amount planned in the Powiat’s 2019 budget. “This gives us significant savings,” the starosta adds.
The powiat authorities had assumed that the renovation would cost approximately PLN 3,000,000, of which—under an agreement with the Municipal Gmina—the municipal authorities declared PLN 750,000, while PLN 750,000 would be the Powiat’s contribution.
The remaining amount was obtained from the Local Government Roads Fund. This is money at the disposal of the voivode. “According to the information provided by the Lower Silesian Voivode, we already know that the subsidy will be significantly higher,” says Tomasz Gabrysiak. “Instead of the 50 percent we applied for, we will receive 80 percent, or PLN 2,320,000.”
What work will be carried out?
The bridge renovation will involve dismantling elements of the deck; reprofiling and forming slopes on the roadway and pavements by applying a profiling layer to the deck slab using PCC mortars, together with sidewalk edge beams; renovating the supports; and providing corrosion protection for the structural elements of the bridge spans.
The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2020.
