The soil was geotechnically researched. The current invitation for investment and technical documentation expires on November 13. The bidding process JN 12-15 DOIE for a consultant on a feasibility study and the project’s concept design was cancelled on September 3 after three offers, two deadline extensions and a complaint, as EPS cited conditions for selection haven’t been met.
An invitation was also placed on October 12 for offers for professional oversight during geological and geotechnical research for a future 9.9 MW solar power plant at the Petka slag pond, and for subsequent technical control of results. The procedure is filed as JNMV 01-15 and the selection is due by the end of October.
