A shelter for 741 people in Kyiv will be completed for 129,5 million hryvnias: total cost will reach nearly 290 million
The Education Department of the Dnipro District State Administration 15 October commissioned Smart Universal Group LLC to build a school shelter (adjustment) on Myru Avenue, 11 in Kyiv for 129,51 million UAH.
This was reported on Prozorro.
Smart Universal Group began building the shelter back in 2024. In 31 August of this year the contract was terminated; by that time the contractor had been paid 160,38 million UAH. Now the project has been revised, and an additional 129,51 million UAH is needed to finish the work. Thus, the total cost of the shelter per 741 person will be about 289,89 million UAH.
The radiation-protection shelter for school No. 146 is to be completed by the end of 2027. The work is planned in two phases: first they will finish constructing the structure and connect it to existing utility networks, and then they will restore the landscaping and install sports grounds.
The works are financed from the Kyiv city budget. This year 33,28 million UAH is allocated, and in 2027 the allocation is 96,23 million UAH.
The project was commissioned by Arkon Engineering Company LLC. A positive expert report was issued by the State Scientific Research and Design and Survey Institute “NDIproektrekonstruktsiya”, headed by Matfey Kizimenko. The contract is dynamic and includes 2,31 million UAH for risks and 4,94 million UAH for inflation (amounts and prices here and below are shown including VAT). In the tender documentation the customer specified an identical amount for risk coverage for all participants – 2,31 million UAH. The current edition of clause 5.31 of the Guidelines for Determining Construction Costs allows this. At the same time, the procedure for the use of these funds must be specified in the procurement contract draft.
In the final resource statement, metal-plastic doors were accounted for at 19 500 UAH/sq. m. Epicenter offers WDS metal-plastic doors at 6 943 UAH/sq. m. Market Dveri sells Rehau Euro 60 doors at 8 581 UAH/sq. m, which is twice as cheap.
An explosion-protection device UZS-25 was ordered at 142 250 UAH/unit. By phone a manager at Uni Metal confirmed that they sell such a device at 83 773 UAH/unit, which is 41% cheaper.
An unspecified emergency firefighting water tank with a volume of 3 cu. m was accounted for at 234 190 UAH/unit. Roto Europast sells firefighting tanks made of food-grade plastic at 26 000 – 33 300 UAH/unit. Komandor2000.ua offers horizontal and vertical plastic water containers at 20 616 – 34 932 UAH/unit. This is 7-10 times cheaper.
Primer Ceresit CT 14 Tiefgrund was ordered at 1 112 UAH/l. The Kub base sells it at 778 UAH/l, and Budplatforma at 807 UAH/l. That is 27-30% cheaper.
Delivery of crushed stone 20-40 mm for a distance of 30 km is 30 UAH/cu.m·km, and crushed stone fraction 40-70 mm is 28 UAH/cu.m·km. Monitoring by SE “NIRI” in the Kyiv region records an average haulage price by dump truck up to 30 km at 8 UAH/ton·km. With a bulk density of crushed stone of 1,41-1,47 tons per cubic meter, this amounts to 11-12 UAH for transporting a cubic meter of crushed stone one kilometer, which is almost three times cheaper.
The polyurethane binder Tetrapur 144 was entered in the estimate at 422 UAH/kg. Masterfiber sells it at 230 UAH/kg, and TNP Group Ukraine at 297 UAH/kg, which is 1,5-2 times cheaper.
The approximate amount of overpayment on just these items may exceed 4 million UAH.
The blood pressure monitor Bokang BK2001-3001 was accounted for at 6 472 UAH/unit. On Tabletky.ua it is sold for 520 – 664 UAH/unit, and Medtekhnika Life for 590 UAH/unit, which is ten times cheaper.
In addition, the estimate included a Fire-Set 2AGE 0.50T DPC fire extinguishing pump station costing 943 800 UAH/unit. It was not possible to verify the price justification from open internet sources.
The calculated wage for one worker at the average job grade 3,8 is 37 002 UAH. The average salary for construction vacancies on the Work.ua portal in Kyiv is 50 000 UAH.
The firm won the contract without competition because no one else submitted a bid to the open tender.
To participate in the tender, bidders had to provide letters confirming readiness to work without an advance and agree to defer payment for the duration of martial law and for six months after its termination or cancellation.
A guarantee letter was also required: if during an inspection controlling bodies find inflated costs for work or materials, the contractor must, within three working days, prepare documents to reduce the cost and return the overpaid funds to the customer.
Construction of a dual-purpose facility with protective properties of a radiation-protection shelter of consequence class not lower than in the procurement was considered an equivalent contract. At the same time, the value of work performed under such a contract had to be no less than the expected value of the current tender. The participant’s annual income for 2025 year also had to be at least 100% of the expected procurement value.
The Education Department of the Dnipro District State Administration is headed by Nataliya Ivanina, who became known after the scandal over purchasing drums and vegetable slicers for shelters. The head of the Dnipro District State Administration is Andriy Paladiy.
Irpin-based Smart Universal Group is owned by local resident Tetyana Hryshchenko, and managed by Olena Harkusha.
