Collapse of the bridge over the Moloma: the contractor wants to take all the money.

Collapse of the bridge over the Moloma: the contractor wants to take all the money.

      Let us remind you that at the end of 2021, the first deformation of the bridge over the Moloma River in the Kirov region occurred. In August 2022, the "Road Committee" signed two contracts with the company "Tech-Terra" (Yekaterinburg) for the inspection of bridges in the Soviet, Lebyazhsky, and Kirovo-Chepetsk districts, which are located on alternative detours of the partially destroyed bridge over the Moloma. The price of each contract was 599 thousand rubles, with a total amount of 1.19 million rubles.

      After some time, the regional prosecutor's office conducted an inspection and identified a violation of the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition," which manifested in the unjustified splitting of the procurement into two identical contracts with the same parties and conditions. The regional FAS office initiated a case.

      The contracts were declared invalid due to being concluded with a single contractor without conducting competitions, and the company "Tech-Terra" was ordered to return all the money it received for its work to the federal budget. Disagreeing with this, the firm appealed to the Arbitration Court of the Kirov region, demanding the cancellation of these decisions and claiming that it was not at fault, alleging that the "Road Committee" had violated the law.

      The court of first instance ruled to deny the claim. Then "Tech-Terra" appealed to the Second Arbitration Court of Appeal with a complaint. The second-instance court did not change the decision. Whether the parties will meet in cassation is still unknown.
