[ad_1]
Over the past two weeks, structures of the capital’s mayor’s office have announced a total of 20 tenders for the supply of “small architectural forms,” mainly benches and playgrounds. Competitions may become part of the largest-scale improvement work on 785 streets in Moscow, previously announced by the capital’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin. In March, city structures have already announced 59 tenders for street repairs in almost all districts of Moscow.
Tenders for the “supply and installation of small architectural forms” for urban areas were announced by the mayor’s office of the State Budgetary Institution “Mosremont”. The most ambitious were the tenders for the supply of 135 and 130 types of playgrounds and “game elements” (each worth about 2.4 billion rubles). Among the latter, the documentation mentions, for example, a rocking chair on a spring (for 108 thousand rubles), a children’s slide made of metal and wood 2.8 m high (for 406 thousand rubles), a playhouse (for 221 thousand rubles) and “basketball sports complex with a pole” (for 733 thousand rubles). Some of the competitions are dedicated to the supply of benches and benches. For example, the winner of the tender for lot No. 16 (for 1.2 billion rubles) will have to supply 75 types of “benches for landscaping,” including swings. The documentation for this competition also includes a bench made of metal and wood, 3 m long and 3 m wide (for 635 thousand rubles). In total, over the past two weeks, the Mosremont State Budgetary Institution has announced 20 tenders totaling 30.5 billion rubles.
Specific addresses for the installation of benches and playgrounds are not specified in the documentation. In all cases, it is assumed that the work will be completed in 2024–2026.
The documentation (unlike competitions of previous years) does not indicate, say, the exact number of playgrounds that the contractor must supply. In the tender conditions there is a reference to Art. 22 of Federal Law No. 44 on public procurement, stipulating that payment for services will be made based on “the volume of work actually performed or service provided, but in an amount not exceeding the maximum value of the contract price.”
The announced competitions may become part of the largest-scale work to improve 785 streets in Moscow. In February 2024, the capital’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin made it clear that this year it is planned to repair exactly this number of streets and such large-scale improvement will take place in the city for the first time. According to the mayor, the renovation will take place in the “From Home to Home” format (carried out in Moscow since 2021). As Kommersant has already reported, the essence of the format comes down to carpet renovation of urban areas from one building facade to another on the opposite side of the street. “From Home to Home” was previously described as an integral part of the city’s improvement program.
The city authorities have been implementing the city improvement program (originally called “My Street”) since 2015. Then 47 streets were repaired, in 2016 – 61 streets (including Tverskaya, Novy Arbat, Garden Ring, Vozdvizhenka and Bolshaya Yakimanka), in 2017 – 82 streets (including 12 embankments and the Boulevard Ring). In these areas, tiles were resurfaced, traffic lanes were narrowed, and trees were planted. Large-scale renovations in Moscow were not carried out in 2018 due to the FIFA World Cup in Russia and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the previous decade, Moscow spent about 35–40 billion rubles on improvement every year, but the 2020 Moscow budget included expenses of 119 billion rubles. In 2022, judging by the government procurement website, the authorities published 67 tenders to “bring streets and public spaces to standard” (worth about 43 billion rubles). In 2023, 57 competitions with similar wording were announced worth about 33 billion rubles.
In March 2024, after the statement of the mayor, city structures have already announced 59 tenders for street repairs in almost all districts of Moscow (see “Kommersant” dated March 15). Work (totaling more than 52 billion rubles) is planned in almost all urban districts (with the exception of TiNAO) and includes the repair of asphalt and tile surfaces, curbs, ramps, stairs, house facades and replacement of road signs. The announced tenders include, for example, the development of Komsomolsky Prospekt and Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street, Kudrinskaya Square, Krasin, Fadeev, Gilyarovsky, Maly Znamensky, Bolshoi Karetny, Bolshoi and Maly Konyushkovsky lanes, as well as all three Frunzensky streets.
Mr. Sobyanin clarified that using the “From Home to Home” technology in 2024, Nakhimovsky Prospekt, Academician Korolev and Aviamotornaya streets, the embankments of the Yauza River will also be renovated, and in total, by 2028, the city plans to improve 3.7 thousand streets “within the old borders of Moscow ” It should be noted that the capital’s 2024 budget law provides for expenditures of 244.8 billion rubles for the state program “Development of the Urban Environment”.
