Volgograd City Hall officials regularly complain about the lack of budgetary funds for social programs and road repairs, installation of street lighting. As previously reported RegNews, Volgograd mom is not the first demand from the city administration to eliminate queues in kindergartens – to build new kindergartens and repair old ones. But local officials constantly refer to the fact that the city treasury for such nonsense money is lacking.
But the mayor’s office is enough funds to purchase expensive equipment, about the advisability of purchasing which the townspeople have some doubts. In August, the official website of the city administration came the announcement of the tender for the supply of the TV for the needs of the institution. Organizer of the purchase made by the Economic Development Department City Hall. Everything would be fine, if not stated starting price – 601 221 rubles 50 kopecks. This amount is comparable to the cost of a new foreign car.
To TV impose specific requirements: it had to be the diagonal of no less than 228 inches, the device must have been a modern audio system with subwoofer. For complete lacking only 3D-technology – without officials have decided to do.
Electronic auction was held on 1 September. He showed up at the four candidates. Victory gained some OOO “Legion” (in the Volgograd region, according to the register, registered several companies with the same name), which offered the lowest price – 456 924,67 rubles. Saving almost 150 thousand rubles, the economic department has at its disposal a complete television giant. According to the contest winner was obliged to supply goods in 15 days, which he did. In the department of information policy of the Volgograd city administration RegNews correspondent confirmed that the TV is brought and connected.
Volgograd taxpayers miracle of technology cost a little less than half a million rubles. For comparison, about the same amount the city treasury has allocated in the first half of this year for training, retraining and skills (160 thousand. Rubles), as well as agriculture and fisheries (363 thousand. Rubles) together.
Our publication has tried to find out at City Hall, officials why such a large and expensive TV. The press service of the Ministry RegNews explained that the TV set was purchased to replace the failed. It was established in the meeting room of the city administration. “As a TV that is connected to the channel, it was never used. It is necessary for video broadcasting, video conferencing. It was a TV of this size before, but it burned down, so bought a new, much cheaper than the former, “- said the representative of the administration.
When asked whether it was possible to do so without the exorbitant costs, the official has replied in the negative. “There was an open auction, which could be open to all comers. He showed the lowest cost, “- said the press service.
Volgograd Internet users, discussing the news of the purchase of the TV for half a million rubles, rightly point out that such a large object is certainly not for the administration of a necessity, without which all the work of the executive branch will be paralyzed. And certainly the TV for the price of foreign cars do not need ordinary citizens, especially given the fact that in Volgograd remain many other problems.
In the end, the officials could fold on TV and buy it at their own expense, if video conferencing without them life is not sweet.
