Chile cable car tender facing new hurdles
The US$80mn cable car tender in Chilean capital Santiago is facing new obstacles as the Providencia district government filed a motion to annul the approval of the bidding documents.
The so-called Bicentenario project entails a 3.4km cable car that would connect Providencia with the Huechuraba district.
Providencia mayor Evelyn Matthei is demanding that the tendering bases be rewritten, saying the project's current design could worsen traffic conditions.
In a press release, Matthei said she opposes the plan to install the cable car's main terminal in the Nueva Zelanda square, near the Tobalaba metro station, since the areas are already suffering from overcrowding.
"We hope that the conversations we have held [with public works ministry MOP and the regional government] during the last month will yield results and the station is moved to another point of the district," said Matthei.
At a conference in Santiago public works minister Alberto Undurraga expressed a willingness to discuss changes while ruling out delays to the project as a result of Providencia's legal action.
The opening of technical bids is scheduled for November 23, while economic offers will be opened on December 21.
