Overview
- The public tender required park benches with a 40 centimeter seat depth, but the winning offer listed 37 centimeter models.
- The municipality canceled the award and re-tendered the village-square project to protect fairness toward compliant bidders and to meet funding rules.
- The restart generated heavy paperwork, with 500 to 700 printed pages per company reported by the mayor.
- Completion slipped from the planned September 2024 to May 2025 after the procurement was repeated.
- Five benches are now in place with a 47 centimeter seat depth, and residents voiced frustration over the episode as embarrassing.
