The company "PN Plovdiv 24" has withdrawn the complaint from the Commission for Protection of Competition against the procedure for selecting a contractor for the public procurement for the renovation and socialization of the "Kosmos" cinema.
The company with participants "PIMK" OOD and "Nivel stroy" EOOD was removed at the second stage, after it was found that its offer did not meet the previously announced conditions for the execution of the order, Trafficnews specifies. Documents for the public procurement were submitted by the consortium DZZD "PN Plovdiv 24", which is contesting the procedure, "Bibov i ko" OOD - also removed due to unfulfilled technical specifications, and the winners of the ZZD "Kosmos 2024" of "GBS - Plovdiv" AD and "Klimatronik" EOOD, selected as contractors. The winning company offered a price of 9,873,980.64 BGN with a maximum estimated value of the activities of 9,900,000 excluding VAT.
"This is an extremely important site. With Deputy Mayor Plamen Panov, we did everything possible to start it this year. It is in the budget of the MRDPW. The complaint from the CPC has been withdrawn, we talked with the contractors and we will start as soon as possible," said the Mayor of Plovdiv Kostadin Dimitrov at a press conference.
“The site has a building permit issued in 2022. In a few days, the renovation of the square space will begin. We thank the efforts of the mayor of the municipality. The funds are no longer 6 million BGN, but over 8 million BGN. We hope that in May it will start and within 2 years Plovdiv will be proud of another such space. There will be a multifunctional hall, modern with 599 seats. Respect to the architects who did everything possible to preserve and renew the authentic architecture, so in addition to this hall we will build two presentation spaces in the lobby and a conference space”, added Plamen Panov.
The project for the renovation and revitalization of the "Kosmos" cinema took place after the building, which was built according to a project by architect Lyubomir Shinkov.
After the renovation, the building is planned to have a hall with 599 seats with a screen for 2D and 3D stage for concerts and theater. The screen measures 6 by 12.30 meters, and the stage space is 8.28 m deep and 12.30 to 16.75 m wide. Special panels will balance the sound in the hall depending on whether there will be a theater, cinema or concert on stage.
The lobby is planned to have a security room, ticket office and cloakroom. In place of the old cloakroom, a cafe with access to the outdoor square spaces will be located. An elevator for the disabled is planned on the northern facade, which will not be visible from Gladstone Street.
The building has spaces planned - an area for informal communication, a small hall for presentations and one for events. The under-stage spaces will become a storage room for scenery, there are two evacuation staircases and a disabled platform.
The project envisages preserving the most iconic elements of the project by architect Chinkov - the staircase with characteristic railings, lighting fixtures, facade elements.
The authors of the development are the design bureau “Tektonika-B“ OOD. Behind it stands the creative work of arch. Dimitar Baldzhiev and his colleagues arch. Elena Pavlova and arch. Ines Chavdarova.
