"Avtostrada" — sand at double the price and a competitor under suspicion
11 June 2025 "Avtostrada" became the sole bidder in the tender for the "remaining works" on the Podil Bridge for 1,18 billion UAH. The estimate includes 68 thousand tons of sand at 541 UAH per ton. "Nashi Hroshi" placed a test order with a Kyiv supplier: 270 UAH. Shkil replied that journalists found sand with a fineness modulus of 1,4 instead of 1,5. He did not explain why sand with a 0,1 modulus costs 100% of the price. 23 August the bridge was opened to full traffic.
A week after the tender, 18–19 June, the owner of the main competitor "Avtomagistral-Pivden" Oleksandr Boyko and four others received suspicions (indictments). The investigation believes that at least 240 million UAH was embezzled on the water pipeline for Kryvyi Rih. Operational support — DSU Rubel. The company called the case a setup by a competitor — this is the interested party's position. The owner and CEO left the country.
"Nashi Hroshi" concluded: the prices of all water pipelines in 2023 year, including the "Avtostrada" section, were "within the market." Therefore, it was logical to check both. Regarding Avtostrada's pipeline, the police examined the price of sand, but there are no suspicions. Shkil says that expert examinations did not find issues. The decision to close the case has not been published.
Kyiv. On Kharkiv Highway there was competition: "Avtostrada" offered 1,26 billion UAH versus Boyko's 1,38 billion. But that's about 233 million per kilometer — many times more expensive than other Kyiv repairs. The overpass on Chernihivska: sole bidder, about 985 million UAH, discount 0,2%. According to TI Ukraine, "Avtostrada" received 2,24 billion out of 7,4 billion UAH spent on Kyiv roads in 2025 year.
Extra payments without competition. 27 November 2025 year — 1,08 billion UAH of additional works on the Mykolaiv water pipeline. In December — 310 million for the Odessa port overpass without competition. At that time, Avtomagistral-Pivden's proposal on the Odessa pipelines, which was 7% below the expected cost, was rejected. "Avtostrada" won with a price 180 million higher. EP headlined: "Shkil took more than 4 billion from Boyko."
September 2026 year: backup power supply for 905 Kyiv buildings. "Avtostrada" won seven lots for 3,7 billion UAH, mostly as the sole participant. Shkil promised: "All works will begin only after receiving the advance." And in October "Nashi Hroshi" found another pipeline estimate listing delivery of sand at 2280 UAH per cubic meter while the sand itself was priced at 210 UAH.
