Two bidders still in running for Argentine wastewater plant
The government of the city of Río Cuarto in Argentina's Córdoba province has announced that the tender for the construction of a wastewater treatment plant is now in its final stage with two bidders still in the running to win the contract.
Córdoba's ministry of water, environment and public services described the project as "highly positive" in a statement published on the Río Cuarto government website.
One of the two companies still in the hunt estimated an execution price 8% lower than the official budget of 335mn (US$22.6mn), though the name of the company was not specified.
Back in July, five companies made economic bids for the city's most expensive project yet, including Isolux Corsán, Rivas, Estructuras-Paschini and Marinelli, Martinez Lumello Hidroconst, and CRZ-Petersen Thiele and CRUZ.
The treatment plant would have the capacity to treat 2,300m3/h of water and approximately 80% of the untreated wastewater that is currently allowed to drain into the River Cuarto.
The new plant will have a lifespan of 25 to 28 years, though with a planned expansion, 24 hectares will be added to the plant, potentially allowing its operating capacity to be doubled in the long term.
The offers will now go under a technical review, which will lead to an environmental impact study to be presented at a public forum, following the award of the works.
Works will last 26 months and benefit an estimated 200,000 people.
