Buenos Aires Line-F tender is postponed to get more bidders
La Nacion says the Buenos Aires Subway Company (Sbase) postponed the opening of envelopes in the tender for engineering studies of Line F, scheduled for mid-January. This was done to ensure that "there is a good amount of bidders".
Line F, the new Buenos Aires subway line will have 13 stations. Expected cost is 2 Billion dollars which will be financed by international creditors. Cnstruction will start in 2021 and expected to finish in 2027.
This subway line will be the first subway tunnel to be bored by a tunnel boring machine. TBM technique has been used in Argentina before, but only for the water projects.
The Buenos Aires deputy Claudio Morresi through a bill presented in the Buenos Aires Legislature, questioned the reason why the Line F tender is again postponed for the fourth time; under what calculation the cost of the work was counted in 2 billion dollars, according to media sources; what is the financing plan of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires for such work; and finally, in what situation is the construction of the other subway lines (the G and I) that are also delayed.

The legislators of the Frente de Todos (FdT) started a draft resolution in the Buenos Aires Parliament to try to get the details on what led the City Government to postpone the construction of Line F. for the 4th time.
They say after 19 years after the legislature created in 2001 for the subway lines F,G and I, for the 4th time the company Subterráneos de Buenos Aires Sociedad del Estado (SBASE), once again postpones the opening of envelopes for the tender for the engineering studies of Line F.
