October 11 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's Belovo municipality said on Friday it has opened a 4 million levs ($2.3 million/2.0 million euro) tender for the closure and recultivation of a waste deposit site.
The recultivation of the landfill for solid household waste envisages both technical and biological recultivation, Belovo municipality said in a tender notice.
The project benefits from EU funding under Operational Programme Environment 2014-2020.
The deadline for submitting offers is October 29.
Bids will be ranked according to price, which carries 40% weight, and technical criteria.
In August, the environment ministry said that Bulgaria and the EU have jointly provided close to 300 million levs for recultivation of municipality-owned waste deposit sites in the country. The investments envisage closure and recultivation of old waste depots which are in breach of environmental requirements as well as setting up new regional systems for waste management. There are about 110 such waste depots in the country, with some of them already recultivated, the ministry said at the time.
