Nordecon Infra vaidlustas E20 Loo-Maardu teelõigu ehitushanke

Message

AS Merko Ehitus, Tallinna Teede AS ja SIA Merks (edaspidi Ühispakkujad)
osalesid ühispakkumisega riigihanke „E20 Loo-Maardu teelõigu ehitus“
(viitenumber 113002) ehitushankel ning esitasid 19. augustil 2009 pakkumuse
summas 288 841 500,20 krooni (ilma k/m-ta), mis oli kuuest esitatud pakkumisest
odavaim. 

23. oktoobril 2009 esitas paremuselt teise hinnapakkumise (318 779 999,60
krooni ilma k/m-ta) esitanud AS Nordecon Infra Riigihangete
Vaidlustuskomisjonile vaidlustuse tunnistada kehtetuks Maanteeameti
peadirektori 13. oktoobri 2009. aasta käskkiri nr 335 osas, millega
kvalifitseeriti riigihanke nr 113002 „E20 Loo-Maardu teelõigu ehitus“ hankele
ühise pakkumise esitanud Ühispakkujad, kuna nad ei vasta
kvalifitseerimisnõuetele referentsobjektide ja käibe osas. 

AS Nordecon Infra viitab sellele, et AS Merko Ehitus on 1. augustil 2008
äriregistrisse kantud äriühing, kes ei saa vastata
kvalifitseerimistingimustele, milles nõutakse andmeid viimase kolme 
majandusaasta netokäibe ja viimase viie aasta jooksul tehtud tööde osas ning et
nõutud referents ja käive puuduvad ka Tallinna Teede AS-il ja SIA Merksil. 

Tallinna Ringkonnakohus leidis 28. novembri 2008 otsuses, et kogu oskusteave ja
ehituskogemus on AS-ile Merko Ehitus jagunemisel üle läinud. Ka Tallinna
Halduskohus kinnitas äsjases otsuses Merko Ehitus seisukoha õigsust. Tallinna
Halduskohus märkis 20. oktoobri 2009 otsuses järgmist: „Hinnates AS Merko
Ehitus (reg. nr 10068022) 30.04.2008.a. koostatud ja tõestatud jagunemiskava,
on ilmne, et AS Merko Ehitus (reg. nr 11520257) omab nõutavat pädevust
hankeobjekti ehitamiseks.“ Samale seisukohale on asunud ka Riigihangete
Vaidlustuskomisjon.

Title

Nordecon Infra has challenged the award decision in the procurement for the construction of the E20 highway section between Loo and Maardu

Message

AS Merko Ehitus, Tallinna Teede AS and SIA Merks (hereinafter referred to as
the Joint Tenderers) submitted a joint tender to the public procurement
“Construction of E20 Highway Section from Loo to Maardu” (reference number
113002); their tender, submitted on 19 August 2009 and with the cost of
EEK 288 841 500.20 (without VAT), turned out to be the cheapest of the six
tenders submitted. 
 
On 23 October 2009, AS Nordecon Infra, the company which had submitted the
second-best tender (EEK 318 779 999.60 without VAT), filed a challenge with the
Public Procurement Disputes Committee requesting the annulment of Directive No
335 of the Director General of the Estonian Road Administration from 13 October
2009. With that directive, the Joint Tenderers, who had submitted a joint
tender to the public procurement No 113002 “Construction of E20 Highway Section
from Loo to Maardu”, had been qualified to tender. AS Nordecon Infra requested
the annulment for the reason that the Joint Tenderers do not meet the
qualification requirements for references and turnover. 
 
AS Nordecon Infra claims that AS Merko Ehitus was entered in the commercial
register on 1 August 2008 and as such the company cannot possibly meet the
qualification requirements which require tenderers to specify their net
turnover in the previous three financial years and the projects executed within
the previous five years; and claims that the companies Tallinna Teede AS and
SIA Merks also lack the required references and turnover data. 
 
In its ruling of 28 November 2008, the Tallinn Circuit Court stated that all
the know-how and construction expertise transferred to AS Merko Ehitus upon the
division of the company. Recently, the Tallinn Administrative Court reasserted
that Merko Ehitus was fully compliant. In its ruling of 20 October 2009, the
Tallinn Administrative Court declared as follows: “An analysis of the division
plan, prepared and notarised by AS Merko Ehitus (registry code 10068022) on 30
April 2008, clearly demonstrates that the new AS Merko Ehitus (registry code
11520257) has the expertise required for the construction of the procurement
object.” The Public Procurements Disputes Committee has taken the same
position.
