Mykolaiv region allocates one million from the budget to build a shelter for a kindergarten

Funding is being sought for the construction of a shelter for a kindergarten in Mykolaiv Oblast. So far, the local budget has allocated more than one of the required twenty-three million hryvnias.

This was reported by the Center for Public Investigations with reference to the Dream ecosystem.

It is planned to build a dual-purpose civil defense protective structure for the Teremok preschool, located in the village of Kazanka, in the Bashtanka district.

The purpose of the shelter for the preschool is to preserve the life and health of young pupils and staff, as well as to ensure uninterrupted access to educational services.

According to the project description, one of the most pressing problems is the safety of kindergartens that do not have appropriate shelters in case of alarms and shelling. Therefore, those institutions that cannot guarantee the safety of children are closed. Kazankivka's Teremok pre-school of the Kazankivka Village Council is no exception.

To solve the problem, measures were taken to convert the basement into a shelter, but according to technical reports, the basement cannot be converted into a bomb shelter.

Therefore, it was decided to build a dual-purpose protective structure that would be used as an outbuilding in peacetime. This is a free-standing, buried structure that will be located on the territory of the institution.

The project budget is UAH 23 million 300 thousand. The total amount of confirmed funding sources is UAH 1 million 35 thousand from the local budget.

The height of the premises will be 2.7 meters, and they will be equipped with places for people to sit and lie down. The accessibility of the facility for people with limited mobility will be ensured by creating conditions for the smooth and safe movement of people with disabilities.

The facility is designed to accommodate an estimated 260 people, including 220 children who will be sheltered for up to two days. Also, according to technical reports, the territory of the facility needs drainage and drainage of the land for the quality organization, design, and construction of the protective structure.

The estimated duration of the project is six months. The project currently requires funding.

After two unsuccessful attempts, Mykolaiv has again announced an auction for the repair of a canteen in one of the city's gymnasiums. This is the third attempt to find a contractor. It is a major overhaul of the canteen at Mykolaiv gymnasium No. 52. The customer is still willing to pay UAH 23 million 369 thousand 653 for the work. The auction will take place on November 4.

A shelter for lyceum students will also be built in Mykolaiv Oblast. More than 35 million hryvnias have been allocated from the budget. The construction was designed by a company that was featured in a journalistic investigation. The building will be able to accommodate up to 150 people, so the school will be able to work in two shifts.

In addition, they plan to repair and equip a shelter in Mykolaiv's Palace of Creativity. More than UAH 2 million was allocated from the city budget. The work was commissioned by the Department of Housing and Communal Services of Mykolaiv City Council. The contractor is to complete the repairs by December 16, 2024.
