The municipal association "Kyivzelenbud" dispelled false information that appeared in some media outlets regarding the announcement of a tender for the construction of new fountains and observation decks during the reconstruction of Natalka Park.
What is the tender actually about?
In fact, the announced procurement concerns exclusively pumping station repairThis station is key to ensuring irrigation of about 7 hectares of the park.
Why is pumping station repair so important?
Natalka Park is one of the most favorite places for recreation for Kyiv residents and guests of the capital. Thousands of people spend time here every day, so the green area and its engineering infrastructure require constant maintenance. The condition of vegetation in a significant part of the park depends on the proper operation of the pumping station.
It is important to distinguish between a project and an ongoing tender
Kyivzelenbud explains that it is important to distinguish between the general project documentation for the reconstruction of the park and the specific works that are the subject of the current tender. The expert report referred to by the media concerns the entire reconstruction project and therefore contains references to various design solutions, including fountains and observation decks.
However, these elements not included in the current purchaseThe announced tender concerns exclusively the repair of the pumping station necessary for the park's irrigation system. The list of works is clearly defined in the tender documentation.
"Kyivzelenbud" calls on citizens and the media to check information in primary sources and not to spread unverified statements.
