Marcio Coelho, commercial manager Procable, Brazil.
"We propose a complete offer, coherent, much cheaper. They (the ANDE) sought errors in our proposal, they found, but invented something, they took us outside and awarded to the CTC, said yesterday in a visit to our editorial Marcio Coelho, commercial manager of Procable Energy and Communications SA Brazil.
The Brazilian company is already well since yesterday in Asuncion a team of lawyers to study the best way to apply to the Directorate of Contracting the review of that contract which had been opened by ANDE to purchase a total of 1,100,000 meters special cables for "High Temperature and Low Arrow" to be used for the new transmission line from 220 kV to be connected to the terminal Clean.
The contract was awarded last week to the American company "CTC Cable Corporation, generating immediate backlash against some of the bidders who were sidelined, although he felt more aggrieved and the only announced it will appeal the decision is Procable.
The technical report ANDE on the five companies that submitted bids (see graphic) said that Procable was disqualified for failing to submit "certificates attesting to their supply or production of legal goods," which was denied by Coelho, showing copies of filings (see facsimile), in both English and Spanish manufacturers, who are Japanese.
"Our proposal is fully agreed with the manufacturer, they give us sufficient security and are responsible for solidarity, that is totally shared interest in this business," emphasized the Brazilian executive, ensuring that work with Nipponese industries with 40 years experience in the market cables, and a technology proven in the world.
Even before the final ruling, there is an evaluation, also of ANDE, which figure Procable "yes" to comply with that requirement, and also with others, but then everything changed, explained Coelho, who said that only if there "strange things" could explain the disqualification of the offer from your company.
In the case of CTC, the total price is U.S. $ 13.8 million, well above the $ 10.5 million proposed Procable. In this regard, Coelho said that from the beginning called the attention awarded to the best face and a firm that has a technology still underdeveloped, in that situation could pose risks for the country.
"For us it is very strange what happened, very strange," he said.
Second request
In a first call after the award, Procable asked last week ANDE copies of technical advice and yesterday did the same to the Procurement Division to request the "no issue of the procurement code to the process in question" because if you have this code, and can deliver the first payment. On the same note, Procable forward to contractors who will raise the objection relevant to cancel the award.
