Promin Bud Service will cut 70 million at Bortnitskaya aeration station
In the next two weeks, the dams of two silt fields of the Bortnitskaya aeration station (BSA) will once again be built up in order to avoid a man-made disaster. The corresponding contract worth UAH 70 million was concluded by the Kyivstroyrekonstruktsiya Directorate for Capital Construction and Reconstruction with Promin Bud Service LLC, which is simultaneously working on the multimillion-dollar construction of the capital's Animal Welfare Center. The contract for the reconstruction of the silt fields dams of the BSA was awarded to this company as a result of a competition similar to the giveaway game: the winner's price was 32 kopecks more profitable than that of a competitor. In recent years, the dams of silt fields, which are overflowing three times more than their design capacity, have been built up three times, which has already taken more than 650 million hryvnias. Funds will continue to be invested in this crow, because it is possible to stop the increase in the amount of sediment in them only after a complete reconstruction of the BSA, which in the current realities looks like unattainable plans.
As it became known to KV from the announcement of the electronic system ProZorro, November 30, 2022 KP “Directorate for Capital Construction and Reconstruction “Kyivstroyrekonstruktsiya” (*) signed an agreement with LLC “Promin Bud Service” (**) for the reconstruction of silt dam fields No. 1 and No. 2 BSA The price of the contract was 69, 99 million hryvnia.
Promin Bud Service LLC, according to the terms of the contract, until December 20, 2022, must transport 132.33 thousand tons of soil by dump trucks from a quarry in the Boryspil district to a distance of 22.4 km to build dams and bridges around silt fields. These works are carried out from the budget of Kyiv.
This purchase was accompanied by the demands of potential participants to eliminate the discriminatory conditions of the tender. In particular, Nikoprogressstroy LLC noticed that the customer did not provide, as part of the tender documentation, information on the necessary technical, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the reconstruction, including plans, drawings, drawings. To this, Kyivstroyreconstruction formally replied that additional documents can be found in their office.
Another company, Gorbud LLC, did not agree with the requirement for a bidder to have a certificate of compliance with the requirements of DSTU ISO 14001:2015 (ISO 14001:2015, IDT) “Environmental Management Systems. Requirements and instructions for use”. The LLC noted that this certificate is not necessary for the construction company to carry out its statutory activities and asked to extend the deadline for submitting a tender offer in order to receive this certificate in time. The customer rejected this requirement, referring to the impossibility of extending the deadline for submitting proposals after the end of the budget period.
As a result, in this tender, in addition to Promin Stroy Service LLC, two companies submitted their proposals – Garant Profi LLC and BK Adamant LLC. As a result, Promin Bud Service managed to win with a very symbolic margin from its competitors: its offer was more profitable than the price offered by Garant Profi LLC by only 32 kopecks.
Promin Bud Service will cut 70 million rubles at the Bortnitskaya aeration station
By the way, Garant Profi LLC has participated in only two tenders over the seven years of its existence. The first one is the current one, the second one is the Kyivstroyrekonstruktsiya tender for the reconstruction of silt dam fields No. 1 and No. 2 of BSA, which was announced in September 2022. In the procurement process Garant Profi LLC and Promin Bud Service LLC also created a type of competition by offering prices with a difference of 2 hryvnias. However, that purchase was canceled “due to the lack of further need” for it.
It should be noted that the current contract is the fourth that the KP “Directorate for Capital Construction and Reconstruction “Kyivstroyrekonstruktsiya” concluded for the reconstruction of dam silt fields No. 1 and No. 2 of BSA. Three previous contracts went to one company – Garantstroy LLC. The first contract (price — UAH 508.08 million) was signed in June 2018, the second (price — UAH 124.12 million) in December 2018, the third (price — UAH 20.32 million) in December 2021. The last agreement in In July 2022, the parties broke due to a violation by the contractor of the calendar work plan, for the work performed, he should be paid only UAH 6.58 million.
Thus, taking into account the current contract for the reconstruction of silt field dams No. 1 and No. 2 BSA, over the past almost five years, four contracts have been concluded for the amount of UAH 722.53 million.
The project for the reconstruction of silt fields dams No. 1 and No. 2 of the BSA was approved by the Kyiv City State Administration (KSCA) by its order dated March 23, 2017 No. 106 with a total estimated cost of work in the amount of UAH 634.249 million.

According to the current version of the Program for the Economic and Social Development of Kyiv for 2021-2023, this reconstruction will last until the end of 2026.

After processing, the sludge is pumped to silt fields for subsequent drying in natural conditions.
The BSA sludge fields are a complex of engineering structures where sewage sludge is pumped for subsequent drying in natural conditions. They are located near the village of Revno, Boryspil district, Kiev region. There are three sludge fields at the station, but No. 1 and No. 2 are still working. In recent years, reports of overflowing sludge fields have been heard from time to time. Back in 2018, Kyivvodokanal reported that sludge fields occupied 272 hectares, and with a design capacity of 3 million cubic meters. about 10 million cubic meters were stored there. silt. In order to avoid accidents, the field dams need to be constantly built up to ensure the possibility of pumping out sewage there until the end of the reconstruction of the BSA itself.
KV repeatedly wrote that the reconstruction of the BSA is one of the most urgent problems and at the same time one of the longest-running projects in the capital. Today, the first stage of the BSA reconstruction is underway, the initial project of which was approved by the order of the Kyiv City State Administration dated February 15, 2012 No. 245 with a total estimated cost of UAH 333.5 million.

According to the current order of the Kyiv City State Administration dated March 22, 2021 No. 645, the cost of the first stage of the BSA reconstruction is UAH 694.5 million. To date, the reconstruction, for which 318.3 million hryvnias have already been spent, is carried out by Ukrmetal Stroy LLC under the contract at the cost of 318.9 million hryvnias by order of PJSC “AK” Kyivvodokanal “.
At the same time, Kyivvodokanal reported in 2019 that the problem with overcrowding of sludge fields could be solved only after the reconstruction of the entire BSA, as this would significantly reduce the volume of sediment. This reconstruction was previously planned to be carried out as part of a loan agreement between the Japan International Cooperation Agency JICA and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. At the end of June 2021, Kyivvodokanal announced that the schedule of negotiations had already been agreed and a roadmap had been drawn up for the speedy conclusion of the general contract.
