The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) is set to ask the Balearic Islands High Court of Justice (TSJIB) for an explanation of the judgment which orders a new appraisal of the most advantageous bid to manage the moorings on the Levante Quay between Punta de Cala Figuera and Punta des Rellotge at the Port of Maó.
In this judgment, published on 19th March, the TSJIB considers that there is insufficient reasoning in the report drawn up by the tender appraisal committee which proposed the bid submitted by Trapsayates as the best offer. It has thus ordered the tender procedure to be returned to the point at which this committee makes a new properly reasoned appraisal of the most advantageous bid.
Challenges dismissed
The TSJIB furthermore dismisses the other challenges filed by the Maó Sailing Club and the Balearic Island Yacht Club Association (ACNB) disputing the resolution of the APB Board of Directors of 2nd October 2008 and the resolution of 22nd December 2008 of the APB Chairman in which Trapsayates was awarded the management of the moorings on the Levante Quay at the Port of Maó.
The TSJIB specifically concludes that the Trapsayates project does not fail to comply with the conditions for the tender. Neither does the court consider it necessary for the bid submitted by this company to require an Environmental Impact Study since its proposal does not constitute any substantial alteration to the port facility.
The judgment states that the appealing parties have not proved that the company which was awarded the contract finally executed a project that was different from the one approved. It finally endorses the APB by dismissing the allegations presented by the Maó Sailing Club.
