Construction of a shelter for almost 60 million was awarded without auction to a company associated with the head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration

A firm associated with the head of Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration Vitaliy Kim won a tender for the construction of a school shelter worth almost UAH 60 million without competition.

According to Nikcenter, Arena Sport 2011 LLC was the only bidder for the construction of a new protective structure for a gymnasium in the village of Bereznehuti.

According to the plan, the school will build a monolithic reinforced concrete shelter with an area of over 900 square meters. The building is designed to accommodate 239 people and will include 10 rooms, a cafeteria, bathrooms, autonomous power supply and heating. The construction is to be completed by December 2025.

Arena Sport 2011 LLC was founded more than 20 years ago by Olga Kim and Media Group LLC, owned by Vitaliy Kim. Until 2016, the current head of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration was managing this company. The company is now owned by Olga Kim and Oleksandr Stepanov's Silent LLC.
The company plans to use mostly rented equipment to carry out the work. The excavators and dump trucks will be provided by Mykolaivmiskbud LLC, which is currently facing a lawsuit over overpricing the construction of a water pipeline in Mykolaiv.
