General information

Description of the project

The project provides for the creation of safe conditions for over 570 children  residents of the community and over 60 employees of the institution. The existing basement, which is in the building, cannot serve as a protective structure.       In 2024, construction began on a one-story protective civil defense structure (dual-purpose structure - "underground school") with a total area of 1298.17 sq. m (total area of the main premises - 1004.63 sq. m), in which conditions are created for the temporary stay of children and school teachers in the event of emergencies. The protective structure will be provided with appropriate conditions for ensuring access and stay for people with disabilities. The spatial planning and design solutions, special and other engineering equipment, systems and life support facilities of the protective structure will comply with building codes and regulatory legal acts, and will provide a barrier-free adapted environment for children with special educational needs. The radiation shelter - the underground school will be equipped and equipped with the necessary furniture and equipment. Design and estimate documentation has been developed for the implementation of the project and a positive expert report EX01:3706-1997-5570-6208 has been received. A subsidy has been allocated from the state budget of Ukraine for construction work. The completion of the construction of the "underground school", with a design capacity of 450 places, is planned for May 2026. The construction of such a structure will allow participants in the educational process to switch to a full-time form of education. The "Underground School" will be used in emergencies, and in peacetime the building will be used for STEM – education classes, sports clubs, a military – patriotic club, a center for psychological support for participants in the educational process, and Euroclub meetings.

The purpose of the project

Main goal:

Creation of new facilities and services

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

Creation of a new protective civil defense structure to provide safe, high-quality educational services to children of residents of the territorial community in accordance with inclusiveness and equal opportunities for school education by building an anti-radiation shelter for 450 people and equipping them in accordance with the regulatory framework. Provision of the protective structure with special and other engineering equipment, systems and life support means. Furnishing the premises of the "underground school" with furniture and inventory, namely: classrooms, sanitary rooms, a medical station, a cafeteria, a staff room, additional rooms that will ensure the operation of the shelter (rooms for containers for placing food and drinking water containers, and portable tanks for sewage, food, etc.).

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

In front-line Kherson, there are risks in conducting the educational process: regarding the preservation of the life and health of children during the educational process in the face-to-face/blended format of education; increasing educational losses caused by distance learning, and reducing the quality of educational services. The lack of a protective structure for civilian purposes puts students and employees of educational institutions at risk and makes it impossible to study in the face-to-face/blended format. The implementation of the project will ensure: long-term inclusive use of a dual-purpose protective structure to preserve the lives of participants in the educational process during emergencies and will create conditions for face-to-face/blended barrier-free access to receive high-quality educational services for children of the microdistrict community. And the use of the "underground school", in peacetime, will contribute to the expansion of pre-professional training in professions related to STEM education for children. The safety conditions created by the project in the institution will improve the satisfaction of community residents and promote their return to the city.

    [Response was provided in the Preliminary Investment Feasibility Study]

    What procurement strategy was chosen for the project implementation, and what justifies its feasibility in the context of the market and project objectives?
    Обрано стратегію проведення конкурентних закупівель для залучення кваліфікованої підрядної організації, що має досвід будівництва захисних споруд цивільного захисту. Доцільність стратегії обґрунтована пріоритетністю створення безпечних умов для населення в умовах воєнного стану. Враховуючи складність об'єкта (нове будівництво), стратегія базується на детальному аналізі ринку будівельних послуг, що дозволяє забезпечити дотримання державних будівельних норм (ДБН) та отримати найбільш економічно вигідну пропозицію.

    [Response was provided in the Investment Feasibility Study]

    What approaches are planned to be used to ensure transparency, competition, and efficiency in the procurement process?
    Для забезпечення прозорості та ефективності будівництва планується: * Використання електронної системи ProZorro для проведення торгів та публікації всієї звітності. * Оприлюднення детальної проєктно-кошторисної документації та чітких вимог до технічних характеристик матеріалів. * Встановлення суворих кваліфікаційних критеріїв щодо наявності техніки, працівників відповідної кваліфікації та досвіду виконання аналогічних договорів. * Забезпечення незалежного технічного та авторського нагляду за ходом будівництва для контролю якості робіт та цільового використання коштів.

    [Response was provided in the Investment Feasibility Study]

    What types of procurement procedures are envisaged by the project (open tender, negotiated procedure, competitive dialogue, etc.)?
    Open competitive bidding

    [Response was provided in the Investment Feasibility Study]

    Pre-market engagement
    Попереднє залучення ринку здійснювалося шляхом аналізу відкритих даних у системі Prozorro щодо аналогічних проєктів будівництва укриттів у регіоні. Вже розроблена та затверджена проєктно-кошторисна документація. Можливе коригування термінів виконання робіт з урахуванням логістичних та безпекових особливостей прифронтової зони.

    [Response was provided in the Investment Feasibility Study]

    Potential market participants
    Потенційними учасниками є ліцензовані будівельні компанії України, які мають досвід зведення монолітних бетонних конструкцій та об’єктів цивільного захисту. Рівень конкуренції оцінюється як низький, оскільки незважаючи на те, що на ринку присутня достатня кількість підрядних організацій, здатних виконувати роботи за державними будівельними нормами В.2.2-5-97 (Захисні споруди цивільного захисту), розташування у зоні активних бойових дій обмежує кількість потенційних виконавців.

    [Response was provided in the Investment Feasibility Study]

    Market readiness assessment
    Ринок готовий до реалізації проєкту. В наявності є необхідні технології для швидкого зведення укриттів, а також доступ до будівельних ресурсів. Основними регуляторними бар’єрами можуть бути посилені вимоги до безпеки праці в зоні бойових дій.
