According to the Price Report (Technical and Economic), the Consorcio Cuarto Puente  CSCEC-CREC, comprised of China State Construction Engineering Corporation LTD and China Railway Group Limited, was disqualified by the Evaluation Commission, since the aforementioned business group did not meet the minimum mandatory requirements set out in the tender documents.

See details of the offers submitted.

In the complaint presented by the Fourth Bridge Consortium CSCEC-CREC, they ask the General Directorate of Public Procurement to order the Ministry of Public Works to cancel " ... partially the 'Report by the Evaluation Commission of the Technical Proposals'." 

They argue in the written document that " ... the Technical Proposal Evaluation Commission illegally and arbitrarily applied subjective criteria when verifying compliance on the part of Consorcio Cuarto Puente CSCEC-CREC regarding the minimum mandatory technical requirement ... due to an erroneous interpretation of the Law and the tender documents. "

Lastly, they ask that the General Directorate of Public Procurement order the suspension of the public act.

In regards to the cases filed, the Ministry of Public Works said last week that " ... the claims constitute a legitimate exercise of all the bidders during the bidding phase. Their admission does not imply a substantive decision, which occurs after evaluation of the validity of the claim."
