Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze and Deputy Mayor Irakli Bendeliani say the Rustaveli Avenue rehabilitation project remains on schedule for completion by the end of November, despite a 30-day extension to the contractor’s deadline.
A contract amendment signed on October 30 extended Smart Solutions’ deadline from November 1 to November 30. Kaladze described the change as technical, citing underground utility works by Georgian Water and Power and other unforeseen circumstances.
Bendeliani said around 10 companies are involved in the project and that changes to individual contracts do not affect the overall timeline.
Smart Solutions is carrying out all three sections of the rehabilitation under contracts worth approximately GEL 19.8 million. The company has previously been fined for violations, including failure to maintain a 24-hour work schedule.
