Montenegro cancels Andrijevica-Pec motorway section design tender

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.
