Special Prosecution initiates investigations into the route to Komaran, for which the company had offered 5 cents per square meter

At the prominent site of King”, which extends to the Pristina - pine magistrates, the lower half of the road has been asphalted at the end of last year, while the surface of the upper part of the road has remained uncircumated for over three years. In fact, asphalt but also erosion have a history that leads to corruption. This act of abuse is allegedly involved in the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure, which is led by Minister Lieburn Aliu, and the former management led by Paul Lekaj.

Periscope reported that by 2020 the road had eroded several miles on both sides of the practice, from Komoran to the vicinity of Business Park. And in the year we left behind, only a part of it was decided to be asphalted on both sides. This was because the company failed to earn a profit, even losing nearly 2m euros, since when it had won the tender, its position for asphalt had been placed in the bid by just 5 cents m2 and had clearly absorbed other positions that would be carried out inevitably.

Periscop has learned that the prosecution has launched an investigation into this contract and management.

“Police investigators authorised by the Special Prosecutor have been in the ministry and have received files regarding the “routine and winter maintenance of A7 auto (Ibrahim Rugova) and A6, from the A7 A6 crossroads to the key to Konjuh project, as well as the National N9””, has announced a source within the MMPH for Periscope.

In this case, Periscope has requested an answer from the Special Prosecutor, but the same has not returned to the publication of this article.

What did Periscop find?

Early in July 2019, the Ministry of Infrastructure, which was headed by Paul Lekaj, had signed a framework contract for three years called “the routine and winter maintenance of the A7 Autoway, A6 from the A7 A6 crossroads to the wrist in Konjuh, and the National N9x1> route.

The contract was divided into two tears.

The second part was won by the group of companies “Damstation Project Project & Via Engineering& Urban”, worth 3,500,654,70 euros, was about maintenance: The Bessy-Gugyca Department, the crossroad of A7/A6 to Konjuh and the key to N2 national route.

So the road has been eroded by companies “Damstation Project Project & Via Engineering& Urban”

It is said that there have been corrosion of 220 thousand m2 m2 asphalt, currently costing about 7 euro m2 of fiber asphalt in the market, which the company would cost about 1.3m euros, if made by asphalt. But, the company, according to the contract that is published in the KRPP, on the contract price list, which has to do with “maintenance of asphalt layers”, has preceded the “new SMA circuit position, 11 with an average thickness of 4cm with corrosion”. In this contract, for three years it has been before the amount of 210, 600 to be opened. 0 m2, at a value of 0.5 cents per m2. Its total is only 10 thousand and 530 euros.

So it seems that the company had offered at low prices to this position only to win the contract, not counting that road asphalt would be required, while in other positions it had placed extremely high prices. For example, knowing that there may only be a need in the field for repair of some section of the road, he had set a price of 12 euros per m2 for the 5.2 “Determination of the pits, tracks, cracks of the circuit layer up to 4 cm of thickness”. The intervention for this position was preceded at 1200m2 at a price of 14,400 euros. 99 thousand euros was meant to be cleaned up and washed at least 2 times a year of district space for 165km, which amounted to 600 euros per cent.

Libran Aliu administration exceeded the contract for 700 thousand euros

The second part of the contract was tied to a value of 3,500,654,70 euros, while it was not met on its terms, on the highway asphalt, Periscope has found there has been a loss of thousands of euros.

Calling on the Law for Access to Public Documents, Periscope received access from MPHI to payment sites for this tender several days ago. It is seen that the total payment has been 4, 302, 924 euros, or about 700 thousand euros on the base contract. This sum is paid for 41 stations. 25 stations were paid only by the current government in 2021-2022.

Periscope has reported that the Ministry of Infrastructure, which is led by Deputy Minister Hysen Dumrish, has issued references for the work done, to the company “Damastion Project” On the date 03.03.2022, for performing the work, still no contracts were concluded and no contract positions were completed. So it's about project references “maintenance of the A7 Highway, Ibrahim Rugova”, which was signed in July 2019, with duration for 3 years and valid until July 3, 2022.

Also, except that reference has been issued to the contract that has not been completed, Periscopi, has two processes of technical acceptance of the work on this road.

The law does not know “Reference”, but Certificate for the jobs performed

Reference to Public Procure Law - The LPP on which public contracts are being realised, the ministry has set cross-border criteria, contrary to the LPP, when it mentioned the term "References."

The Public Procure Ration Commission has clarified this a few days ago in Questions and Consolations, where the different parties demand the interpretation of the LPP, the institution responded.

No “in any of the 65-70 provisions of the LPP is mentioned in the term” Reference” in the sense of testimony that an operator has happily conducted a contract. This can be witnessed by the final report of the work done or with certificates for performing and/or the satisfactory outcome of the projects, which evidence is mentioned in Article 69 of the LPP. However, if the Compacting Authority requires reference to satisfactory contract realisation, specifying the minimum number of references in the tender file, and in the announcement of the contract, reference should be for contracts specified on the list of contracts and should be brought by the member of the group, if the same has been the executioner of the corresponding contracts, so that the application is considered to be fulfilled by the whole”, the CRPP interpretation says.

So, expressly, the CAPP has said that contracting authorities cannot set as criteria, demands for jobs done, but the final report on performing works or with certificates for carrying out and/or satisfactory completion of projects.

In the document issued for Reference, the signing has been dropped by former Ministry Secretary Izedin Bytyqi and the Director of the Road Infrastructure Department, Rame Qypeva.

Ministry put a little asphalt out of the standardwidow

After a series of Periscop writings, the ministry has forced companies to take to the workshop and asphalt the remaining route. Companies have asphalted only part of it, about 30 percent, and have stopped the work.

Periscope has been on the ground and has seen the road has not been asphalted according to contracting standards. So it had to be placed in the clay asphalt, while it placed limestone, which is for four times cheaper on the market.

According to the supplied photos, the asphalt recently laid down by Deputy Minister Hysen Durmish, the company “Bageri”.

In the contract that has seen the editorial, the company “Bager” was not a subcontracial contractor to the winning contractor, and this opens up for contract violations, as subcontracts were introduced during the application.

That little space that has been asphalted in the past year is out of standards to guarantee the life expectancy and efficiency of public funds spending to this end. The Ministry of Infrastructure has officially confirmed this.

Ministry laboratory confirms paved asphalt is off limits

MMPHI has contracted a laboratory that conducts the examination of building materials and constructions, called IMK “Balkan Project” shpk.

In each project, ministry officials go to work together with the laboratory and see whether the established construction material is a set of standards and contracts. They have done so with asphalt, which has been spread for years in summer.

Periscope He's asked for access to the reports and the ministry has sent us four Sosh.

Reports, which were drafted in July 2022, speak of scandalous works that are off-limits.

It is seen that aggressive fractions are missing from asphalt (thunder group)).

Asphalt is made, it is not of ferocity, but of limestone.

Even the bitumen percentage is low. (For the production of asphalt-bethon as a binding material, bitumen is used for circular surfaces).

Outside parameters is the source (Stone flour, or thread, is rock - size material that is smaller than 0.71mm. The part of the stone flour whose grains are smaller than 0.09mm, is called filler. The content of the tiny particles affects the bitum solidification index, because the quality of the bitumen mastic (+ fileri) depends on cohesive characteristics and asphalt mix. Mystique's role is not only to connect the aggression beans but also to fill the gaps in the stone frame).

Rather, asphalt should be composed of many components to be bound together for resistance, and some of the demands of the component are lacking, some having very low values of endurance. As a result, the lack of these components made the price of the asphalt too low.

So asphalt is a mixture of fixed, compact components. Smashing asphalt is a mixture of granunudiated aggregate and certain bitumen, and it cuts me down all the grains of aggregate are wrapped in bitumen, and the agregate is every material of stone origin, guaranteed to be used in the design of asphalt mix.

The reports are split with mercs. For example, in the P-180m Business Park profile in Corrotica, the required ratio is over 6. 87.

The percentage of the wire was supposed to be over 10, and it turned out to be 4.77.

The lab has found that the thickness required of the asphalt, in many parts, is below this quota, reaching up to six inches [2.99 cm],

The lab could not identify the type of biting, since it was not offered samples for preliminary examinations.

Although, it was not a contractor for this, the section of the asphalt in Corrotrica was paved by the “Bager” company, whose owner, Deputy Infrastructure Minister Hysen Dumrish, has said he has a friend. The identified asphalat, produced at the moment, is made by “Kosovo Asfat”, the company that is in the name of the son of the owner of “Bager”. /Periscopi - Mentor Buzhala/
