The new call for tenders on the project to adjust the costs for the Cumbidanovu dam is ready, yesterday evening it was sent by the Central Sardinia reclamation consortium to the European Official Journal for publication which will take place within a few days.
Announcement that will remain open for 45 days (not 90 like the previous one, and with a further reduction in times): the opening of the envelopes is scheduled for April 21st. The calling of a second tender became necessary following the outcome of the previous one, which went deserted.
The regional councilor for public works, Pierluigi Saiu, was satisfied: «We asked the reclamation consortium, the entity implementing the interventions, to adjust the prices on the project and in just over a week we closed the circle, respecting the commitments made. The assessor quickly gave the go-ahead to update the announcement and the ministry did the same. The Cumbidanovu dam is a strategic infrastructure for Sardinia and in particular for the territories of Nuorese. A work that has been awaited for years, a great unfinished one that needs to be unlocked. We were able to count on the collaboration of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Minister Matteo Salvini, whom I want to thank. In fact, thanks to the collaboration with the Rome offices it was possible to speed up and get to the republication of the new call in a very short time».
We don't want any more delays. We are counting on the auction-based price adjustment to finally unblock the situation and we have clear ideas on what to do, even in the event of other unforeseen events. In any case, there is no time to waste and it will already be important to think about the next steps by accelerating the design of the ancillary works, i.e. the water distribution network, the hydroelectric plant and the interconnection between the Cumbidanovu reservoir and the Su Tuvu wastewater treatment plant, which will make it possible to meet the growing water needs of the countryside. The stability law - concludes the exponent of the Giunta Solinas - has allocated the resources and we will soon go to the Giunta with a proposal to start quickly also with the planning and then with the realization of the other works».
