The joint ventures of AKTOR Concessions with Roadis and Mytilineos with Vinci had asked for an extension, argueing that they did not manage to prepare their offers due to the quarantine. The administration of HRADF had decided not to give the 9th extension to the tender for the concession of the road axis and an offer was submitted only by the TERNA - Egis Projects consortium.
However, the two consortia appealed to the CoS and won the precautionary measures.
Thus, the administration of HRADF is expected to decide next Tuesday
that all the groups that had passed to the final stage of the tender can
submit bids, probably until April 1st.
The issue of the tender provides that the preferred investor will be
assigned the financing, operation, maintenance and exploitation of the
Egnatia Odos highway and the Siatista - Ieropigi / Krystallopigi,
Chalastra - Evzoni and Thessaloniki - Serres - Promachonas vertical road
axis.
The concession period will have a 35-year durration. The preferred
investor, through the concession company that will be set up, is obliged
to study, finance and perform a series of additional tasks.
The investor will pay to the HRADF an initial offer (Concession Fee) as
well as an Annual Fee. These two elements determine which group will
prevail, with executives in the construction market raising the total
amount of the investment close to 1.5 billion euros (concession fee plus
the cost of additional works).
In addition to the collection of tolls, the contractor will have revenue
from the operation of Motor Service Stations (CMS) "of its transit
areas along with all property rights, materials and intangibles, related
to the road axis".
