The company that failed the construction of the bypass wants to rip 190 million from the budget of Sevastopol
The Sevastopol Department of Transport lost 190 million rubles in court to a company that was awarded a contract in 2017 to build the Sevastopol-Kamyshovaya Bay highway. The company failed to build the road, leading to the contract being unilaterally terminated and a fine of 227 million rubles, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to information from First Sevastopol, the Aerodromdorstroy-Proekt joint-stock company turned out to be the only contender for the execution of the road construction contract worth 1 billion 256 million rubles. But after a year and a half, it turned out that the company was in no hurry to fulfill its obligations, and the Department of Transport decided to terminate the contract. And since it was secured by a bank guarantee of 300 million rubles, the city returned 227 million rubles for unfulfilled obligations.
“But then events developed in a completely unexpected way. The contractor did not agree with the termination of the contract and went to court, where he literally demanded that the right to complete the road be returned to him. And in 2021, the court supported it, invalidating the unilateral refusal of the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of the city of Sevastopol.
Accordingly, Deptrans received money from the guarantor bank unreasonably. By that time, the bank had already successfully sold the rights to claim the debt for 190 million rubles to Siberian Transport Company LLC, which is now successfully collecting this amount from the Sevastopol Department of Transport,” notes Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Sevastopol Anton Parkhomenko.
Despite the fact that Kamyshovoye Highway was built by other contractors, and Aerodromdorstroy-Proekt essentially has nothing to do, the decision to demand 190 million rubles will significantly undermine the budget plans for road construction in Sevastopol. An appeal hearing of the Department of Transport's objections is ahead.
