en.Wedoany.com Reported - Argentina's Santa Fe Province has opened a total of 30 bids for six road paving tenders, which have a combined value of 51 billion pesos (approximately US$36.6 million) and will cover 3,991 kilometers of local roads. Twelve companies and four joint ventures submitted offers.

At the road paving bid opening ceremony, Santa Fe's Minister of Public Works, Lisandro Enrico, stated: "At a time when we are being abandoned (by the federal government), the provincial government is allocating resources to maintain the road network." The Santa Fe provincial government is critical of President Javier Milei's policy of halting almost all federal public works funding, with local authorities claiming the policy has led to the deterioration of Argentina's roads and negatively impacted transportation for key economic sectors such as agriculture.

The six road paving tender contracts are divided by region as follows: Group 1, Reconquista to Vera, 14.2 billion pesos, 498 km; Group 2, San Cristóbal to Tostado, 5.7 billion pesos, 625 km; Group 3, Rafaela, 6.9 billion pesos, 544 km; Group 4, San Javier to the Capital, 8.55 billion pesos, 734 km; Group 5, El Trébol, 8.6 billion pesos, 536 km; Group 6, Rosario to Venado Tuerto, 7.01 billion pesos, 1,054 km. The road paving tender contracts are expected to commence within 60 to 90 days.

The 12 companies that submitted offers include Bruno Construcciones, DeRosario, Obring, Pelque, Edeca, Pose, Savyc, Rovial, Rava, Laromet, Coingsa, and Vial Agro. The four joint ventures are UT ICF–ICA, UT Grupo de Bacheo N°4 (Rava–Inar Vial), Bacheo G1 (Rava–Néstor Julio Guerechet), and Bacheo G2 (Rava–Néstor Julio Guerechet).
