Only 10 bids were submitted to Polandās General Directorate for National Roads and Highways (GDDKiA) for public contracts this year, a significant drop compared to previous years. āItās much easier these days, as competition is currently much lower,ā says Dariusz Blocher of Budimex, adding, however, that margins for Polish road contracts continue to be low. āWe have no chance to win contract with margins of 2 to 3 percent,ā he adds.
GDDKiA received 10 bids from contractors interested in building a new portion of the S19 motorway, connecting SokoÅow MaÅopolski and Stoberinam. The contract went to Adelsa, which offered PLN 290m. The winning bid reflects 75 percent of the estimated value of the project. Barbara Dzieciuchowicz of Polandās Chamber of Commerce building says this is acceptable as long as prices on building materials donāt go up dramatically, which happened in past years.
