Docapesca has announced a new public tender to dredge Faro harbour for an increased target price of €375,000.
The launch of this new tender, already published in Diário da República, follows up an earlier failed tendering process launched on August 16, 2018, in which all the bids received were over the maximum price.
As no company could be found to do the work for the money available, Docapasca has upped the price by €100,000 and increased the period from one month to four.
"The need to revise the project was related to the current navigation conditions in the Ria Formosa’s channels, which imply a significant extension of the period required to carry out the project," Docapesca said in a statement, mentioning nothing about the extra €100,000 or why the poor access has not been taken into account earlier.
