The boat case for over half a million
The tender for the boat for the city guard was announced at the beginning of November last year. Only one offer was received, from the Marine Lab company, which offered PLN 589,000. It was considered beneficial and accepted. In the order, the guards indicated that the boat would be intended for patrolling various types of water bodies, picking up drowning people and carrying out rescue operations in cases of threat to life and health.

A detailed description of the subject was attached to the specification of the terms of the contract. It contains specific requirements and parameters that a boat should meet. They were looked at by activists from the Miasto Jest Nasz association and the Stop Cham initiative. They described the case on social media on Wednesday. They raised objections to the chapter on minimum sonar requirements. They alleged that the description of the contract had been copied from the manufacturer’s websitewhich then won the tender. They announced a notification of the prosecutor’s office regarding possible irregularities in the tender. They also once again called for the resignation of Zbigniew Leszczyński, the long-time commander of the capital guard.
