Millions of flags, fireworks and concerts
The most expensive lot in 2016 has placed the state unitary enterprise of Moscow “Mossvet”. We are talking about the song “Moscow stand greeting” on Lubyanka square.
The brief is posted on the procurement website, the stand will be a diamond shaped design with spotlights.
The cost of the composition on Lubyanka square, a given installation will be about 18.4 million RUB.
Among other expensive lots — festive fireworks for a total amount of 18.5 million rubles. It is almost 1 million more than last year (17.6 million USD), but the volume of work decreased significantly.
Reduced the number of platforms, which will start the fireworks. If in 2015, they were 31 unit, in accordance with organisational requirements lots, fireworks will be launched with only 20 points. The duration of the demonstration is also reduced from eight to five minutes.
A significant portion will go to holding cultural events on the territory of the 12 parks. On the city Day, Gorky Park spent nearly 10.5 million rubles, including a musical performance at least seven artists in the Park of arts “Muzeon” with a duration of 40 minutes is planned to be allocated 1.33 million RUB In the terms of reference specified: performers must be at least two foreign musical project, and genres of music needs to make possible a wide range — “neo-classical music, electronica, neo-folk, ambient, jazz fusion (at least three different genres)”.
In Park “Sokolniki” cultural events will cost 4.5 million rubles., in the Museum-reserve “Tsaritsyno” — 3.88 million RUB.
For holiday decorations, for example, the Central administrative district flags and decorative designs — from the budget will be spent around 6.9 million rubles. the Most expensive will clearance the North-Western administrative district: it would cost 9.1 million RUB where you plan to place more than 2.8 thousand banners.
Not all procurement results were announced and winners. But the reality is that the value of concluded contracts typically 100-150 thousand rubles. less than the maximum purchase price. This allows to estimate the costs of the capital budget with a certain degree of error.
However, the amount of spent budget funds could still grow: according to the history of purchases last year, some of the lots were played just before the celebration of the city. Still a purchase for holding cultural events has not declared JSC “VDNH”, the owner of which is the government of Moscow. In 2015 they were posted a lot on 29 million rubles.
But even taking into account a possible spread of the estimates, the city Day this year is unlikely to approach the year 2015.
The Department of culture of Moscow was not able to quickly comment on the reason for the decline in spending on the city Day.
