The contracting authority NIF Nemzeti Infrastruktúra Fejlesztő Zrt. in a new public procurement notice.
Napi.hu wrote about the antecedents last June: the study plan of the expressway connecting the M1 and the future M8 car can be prepared by Uvaterv Út-, Vasútterező Zrt. And Utiber Közúti Beruházó Kft. For a net amount of HUF 479 million. The aim of the new road is to divert trucks coming from Austria to Romania and the Balkans from the vicinity of Budapest. The route of the new road will be the following: Komárom – Kisigmánd (M1) – Kisbér – Székesfehérvár (M7) – Sárbogárd (M8). Winners must carry out an environmental impact assessment in addition to the study plan and obtain an environmental permit.
According to the call, the work consists of two parts. The first part is the 85-kilometer section between Komárom and Székesfehérvár. This was won by Uvaterv Út-, Vasútterező Zrt., With a net amount of HUF 315 million.
The second part starts from the western bypass of Székesfehérvár and continues through the new junction to be established on the M7 motorway to the (long-distance) M8 motorway, which is reached in the Sárbogárd area. Its length is 35 km. This was won by Utiber Közúti Beruházó Kft., With a net amount of HUF 164 million.
The first part of this public procurement – the contract signed for the section between Komárom-Székesfehérvár – was amended by the deadline of 15 October. The reason is that the Ministry of Innovation and Technology has provided that, in connection with the high-speed railway and the road in question, the customer will ensure “their full coordination and, if possible, the new routes in a common route lane, taking into account another development taking into account the design of the buyer, made within reasonable limits “.
Since the high-speed rail route only became final on December 15 last year, the planning stood from September 8 until then. Thus, the deadline was shifted from 11 May 2022 to 20 October 2022. The design fee remained unchanged.
Napi.hu announced in July that the financial fund of the European Network Financing Facility (CEF) will contribute 85 percent of the eligible costs, about HUF 2 billion, to the environmental protection parts of the Hungarian section of the Budapest-Warsaw high-speed railway. With the contribution of CEF, transport development projects are being implemented in Hungary for more than HUF 670 billion.
