April 22 (SeeNews) - Montenegro's state-run motorway operator Monteput rejected all four bids submitted in a tender for the preparation of a preliminary design for the construction of a 27-km section of the Andrijevica-Pec motorway, from Andrijevica to Cakor, and cancelled the tender, it said.
Bids were submitted by a consortium of local engineering company Decom and Belgrade-based construction company Louis Berger; a consortium of Gradjevinski Institut Makedonija (GIM) and its local arm GIM DID; and local companies Via Project and Viamont, Monteput said in a statement last week.
They were dismissed because they contained incomplete or inaccurate information.
The tender was opened in February with an April 3 deadline for the submission of bids. The estimated value of the project was 100,000 euro ($106,600).
The entire motorway will stretch from Andrijevica to Pec, in Kosovo, connecting to the 129-km Bar-Boljare motorway, part of the European transport Corridor XI.
The Bar-Boljare motorway will link Montenegro's Adriatic port of Bar to the country's border with Serbia in the north. European transport Corridor XI is a ferry/motorway corridor linking Italy's Bari to Romania's Bucharest via the port of Bar and Serbia's Belgrade.
