ZIELONA GORA MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE II

The project focuses on financing small and medium-scale investment schemes, mainly in the fields of urban renewal, transport, health and education in the City of Zielona Gora.

The project will contribute to the implementation of a development plan and an investment programme of the City of Zielona Gora and, in particular, to the improvement of sustainable municipal and social infrastructure. The project should contribute to the overall development of the city and enhancement of the overall conditions for life and business in the city.

Some of the schemes might fall under Annex I or Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive (85/337/EEC), as amended. If any scheme had a negative impact on an area forming part of Natura 2000 network (falling under Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC or Birds Directive 2009/147/EC) the Bank would require the promoter to act according to the provisions of the aforementioned directives, as transposed into national law.

The promoter, as a public administration entity, is required to follow EU public procurement rules (Directives 2004/17/EC and 2007/18/EC) as implemented by national law including publication of contract notices in the EU Official Journal, if and where appropriate. Projects with values below the EU thresholds will be procured according to the provisions laid down in national or regional legislation.
