The commercial court of the Odesa region terminated the legal relationship between the road management department of the Odesa city council and “Automagistral-Pivden” LLC, which signed a contract on the reconstruction of the overpass in Odesa for UAH 1.61 billion after the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. This is evidenced by the court decision of January 15. In June 2022, the road management department of Odesa City Council ordered “Automagistral-Pivden” LLC for the reconstruction of the Ivanivsky overpass in the city. Odessa for UAH 1.61 billion. As the court found, the purchase took place in the absence of budget allocation for conducting open tenders. In particular, the budget of the Odesa City Territorial Community did not provide for the allocation of funds for the reconstruction of the overpass in 2022-2023. Advertisement: In addition, “Automagistral-Pivden” did not provide complete information about its material and technical base and technologies, and therefore did not confirm the customer’s qualification requirement. Also, not all the employees of the enterprise had the necessary knowledge and experience, and the permit of the TU Derzhpraty in the Odesa region for the operation of cranes and machines, elevators, hoists for lifting workers, passenger suspended cableways, escalators, and passenger conveyors, cradles for lifting employees did not contain all the necessary information, in particular, regarding several mobile cranes. As a result, the court terminated the legal relationship between the road management department of the Odesa City Council and Automagistral-Pivden LLC. Advertisement: Over the past four years, Avtomagistral-Pivden has won contracts worth UAH 150 billion. This is the largest indicator in “Prozorro”. Oleksandr Boyko is the owner of the enterprise. We will remind: the “Manifesto 42” movement, which unites businesses against undue pressure from security forces, stated that the company “Automagistral-Pivden” distorted the facts regarding the blocking of its activities by law enforcement agencies.
