The minimum price reduction step during the bidding process is 1% (5.39 million hryvnias). The contracting authority does not require a bid security, but the winner must pay a cash deposit of 5% of the contract amount as a guarantee of contract performance. The deposit will be returned upon full completion of the works or in case of early termination of the contract without violations by the contractor.

The payment is to be made in several stages: up to 30% of the cost is to be paid in advance through documentary letters of credit (three stages of up to 10% each), and the rest is to be paid after signing the completion certificates and certificates of value.

According to the tender documentation, the reconstruction of berth 7 will involve the installation of a metal sheet pile, laying new railway tracks and renewing the pavement. Reinforced concrete slabs will be used in the crane area and shaped tiles in the storage areas. An unloading platform on metal piles will also be built.

The berth will be equipped with water supply, rainwater drainage, power supply, grounding, communication systems, video surveillance and fire protection.

As a reminder, the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine and the concessionaire have started working on the project to make the Kherson port operational after the end of hostilities.
