In parallel and independently to Fonatur, UNOPS carried out an analysis of the 16 offers received on April 28 in accordance with international standards and expressed its agreement. Both parties concluded that the consortium made up of Construcciones Urales, SA de CV in a partnership agreement with GAMI Ingeniería e Instalaciones, SA de CV and AZVI, SAU represents the best price-quality ratio for Fonatur and the Tren Maya project.
The proposal presented by this consortium meets the formal and eligibility criteria established in the specifications. In qualification criteria, it complies with the legal and administrative requirements, has the required capacity, technical and financial experience. Regarding technical criteria, this consortium ranked as the best technical offer in the areas: quality of work, capacity of the bidder, experience and specialty of the bidder, fulfillment of contracts and national content and labor. The winner obtained 95.09 points as a sum in both criteria.
The winning consortium presented its financial offer on April 28 at the Opening and Reception of Proposals for the International Public Tender for Section 3 of the Mayan Train, for an amount of 10,192,938,694.58 pesos.
