April 1 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's Chiprovtsi municipality said on Wednesday that it has launched a tender for a contract for the design and construction of a composting installation for municipal waste, worth an estimated 1.76 million levs ($984,000/900,000 euro), VAT excluded.
The project benefits from EU funding under Operational Programme Environment 2014-2020, the municipality said in a tender notice.
The deadline for submitting offers is April 30.
Bids will be ranked based on price, with 80% weight in the final score, and time for completing works.
Bulgaria and the EU are jointly providing some 300 million levs in the 2014-2020 programming period for recultivation of municipality-owned waste deposit sites in the country. The investments envisage closure and recultivation of old waste depots which are in breach of environmental requirements as well as setting up new regional systems for waste management. There are about 110 such waste depots in the country, some of which have already been recultivated.
