| Work Detail |
The tender for the construction of a new water well in Saladillo, Buenos Aires, was not awarded because the bids submitted were well above the official budget. The most relevant aspects are detailed below: Objective of the tender: The purpose of the tender was to hire labor and materials for the drilling and installation of a new water well, including the manifold, pump, installation accessories and electrical panel. This well seeks to improve the water supply in Saladillo, responding to the growth of the city and the need for better services. Problem to be solved: The new well aims to improve access to and provision of drinking water in Saladillo, addressing the needs generated by the citys population growth. Construction details (implicit): Although the news does not detail the technical specifications of the well, the following can be inferred: Drilling: Drilling will be carried out to extract groundwater. Manifold Installation: A manifold will be installed, which is a system of pipes and valves used to control the flow of water drawn from the well. Pump: A pump will be installed to extract water from the well and send it to the distribution network. Installation accessories: Various accessories will be used for the correct installation and operation of the well, such as pipes, connections, valves, etc. Electrical panel: An electrical panel will be installed to control the operation of the pump and other electrical equipment in the well. Official budget and offers: The official budget for the work was $60,565,000.00. However, the bids submitted far exceeded this amount: Rielsa SA: $102,045,800 Soterre Engineering SA: $108,160,395.77 Current situation: Because the bids significantly exceeded the official budget, the tender was void, meaning that there was no successful bidder. The municipal authorities will have to analyze how to proceed to complete the construction of the well. The possibility of analyzing the costs and evaluating new strategies to carry out the project is mentioned, considering the importance of the work for the development of the city. Previously, it was considered to move forward with a single well, with a budget that represented a little more than half of the quotes we had received for two wells, but even this strategy was surpassed by the current bids. Relevant statements: The Director of Environmental Management commented that the amounts of the offers are outside the logic of the official budget and that they will analyze how to continue with the project. The Mayor emphasized the importance of the new well for the development of Saladillo and the improvement of public services. In short, the tender for the construction of a new water well in Saladillo was unsuccessful because the offers were well above the official budget. The situation will have to be re-evaluated to determine how the work, considered essential for the development of the city, will be carried out. The companies that submitted offers were Rielsa SA and Soterre Ingeniería SA. |
