In July of this year, the European Railway Lines announced an open tender for the engineering and construction supervision of the Rail Baltica station at the Riga International Airport and the related infrastructure. The candidate had to have accumulated professional experience during the last seven years: construction supervision was performed for the construction of railways, bridges and overpasses, as well as for the construction of public buildings of at least 16,000 m². The average net turnover of the tenderer in the respective field during the last three years had to be at least 3 mln. as well as positive equity in 2019.
At the beginning of September, four bidders submitted their tenders. The contestants had formed associations representing five countries – Germany, France, Latvia, Greek and Spanish construction supervision professionals, according to information provided by the European Railway Line.
