No. Tender: CSF/02/2022/E(A)
The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works announces that today the Public Works Department has launched an open tender for the project "Construction of cycling infrastructure connecting the Nicosia Universities to the city centre - Phase C from Salaminos Avenue - Kaimaklion Linear Park - Agios Hilarionos/Cooperation Streets".
The subject of the tender is the construction of a cycling infrastructure connecting the Universities of Nicosia with the City Centre (Phase C). The infrastructure is approximately 4.6 km long, with the majority of the cycle route being constructed on an existing road surface. The remaining length of the bikeway, which is not placed on the existing roadway, runs on the existing pedestrian/bicycle path (Palouriotissa Covered Storm Drain), in public spaces and on sidewalks. For the length of the existing cycle/pedestrian path over the Palouriotissa Stormwater Culvert, repairs to the pavement and repairs to existing fencing are foreseen where necessary. In addition, the project will include the reconstruction of the road surface and intervention at the Kantara/St. Hilarion roundabout.
The main objective of the project is to increase traffic options and enhance multimodality. The construction of this cycling infrastructure will provide an integrated and continuous cycling connection between Nicosia's universities and the city centre, aiming to enhance the use of cycling as a means of transport. In addition, it will contribute to the upgrading of the urban environment for safe, functional and pleasant mobility.
The closing date for submission of tenders through the eProcurement system is 24 March 2023.
The duration of the contract is 12 months. The estimated cost of the project is €1.810.000,00 plus VAT.
It is noted that the project is co-financed by the Cohesion Fund of the European Union, through the Operational Programme "THALIA" and national resources.
