Consortium chosen to overhaul Plovdiv - Bourgas railway line

City-planning


A consortium of Bulgarian road firms Trace and SK-13 and Italy's GCF has been chosen to overhaul the rail link between Plovdiv and the Black Sea city of Bourgas.

The consortium submitted the lowest bid, 380 million leva.

"As much as 110 million leva has been saved for the rehabilitation of the railway section," Transport Minister Aleksander Tsvetkov said on December 28 2010, referring to the difference between the lowest offers presented at the two tenders for the project.

The ministry's previous attempt to award the railway stretch construction fell through after the European Commission called for its suspension because of concerns about irregularities.

The project brings the volume of contracts awarded to Trace in 2010 to 550 million leva. The company is also constructing two stretches of Sofia's underground system worth 360 million leva, granted in a 2008 process.

The figures have been added to Trace's nine-month financial report, which shows a sevenfold increase in net profit on an annual basis and 65 per cent growth in sales to 186 million leva.
