Volkerrail bid the cost of the work at slightly above 180 million kroons (EUR 11.5 mln), 80 million kroons cheaper than Eesti Raudtee had originally planned, Eesti Raudtee said BNS.
A total of five bids were made in the public procurement tender, and the highest of them was 251.7 million kroons. There were bidders from Estonia, Latvia, Finland and Lithuania. The tender was only for the works, as Eesti Raudtee acquired the necessary materials in separate tenders.
By the end 2011 deadline 80.7 kilometers of track will be overhauled under the tender.
