Prague 7’s massive tender for new City Hall merely ‘testing the waters’

Now 16 months after Prague 7 called a tender to secure new headquarters for the district’s town hall comes a twist in the case: what had previously been presented as a classic public tender has been recast as mere “market research.” Could it be that the district mayor, Marek Ječmének (Civic Democrats, ODS) is looking to de facto cancel the tender without having to admit the process has failed – yet again?

New town hall for Prague 7 to ‘bankrupt’ district

The Christian Democrat (KDU-ČSL) chairman for the Prague 7 district says the tender process related to the construction of a new Town Hall, agreed by councilors from the Civic Democrats (ODS), Social Democrats (ČSSD) and Communists (KSČM) parties, was “irregular” and the “overpriced” project will bankrupt the twon council.

Prague’s biggest real estate tender could fail again

The Prague 7 district has already been looking for a new location for its Town Hall for an incredible 17 years now, with the moving date  set for 2015. The most recent attempt was a fiasco; just ahead of signing the purchase contract, the competition was canceled. One might expect that this time around, councilors would make sure things went smoothly and prepare a “bulletproof” contract for the biggest developers in order to polish the district’s sullied reputation. Alas, the opposite is true.
