Palais restructuring postponed
In a recent development, the tender for the redesign of Palatine Square has been withdrawn due to a lack of economically viable bids. The city administration, however, remains optimistic about the future of the project and plans to launch a new tender after revising the documents.
The aim of the new redesign is to improve traffic safety and enhance the square, taking into consideration the existing tree stock. The square, located within the North City II redevelopment area, is intended to make the entire district more attractive.
Originally laid out in 1913 and redesigned in the 1970s, Palatine Square has been planned for a second attempt at redevelopment. The construction costs submitted for the previous tender were deemed unacceptable by the city administration, with the costs being significantly higher than the existing cost estimate.
Building Director Sibylle Schüssler expressed optimism about the project, stating that the city administration will revise the tender documents to make the bid submission more attractive and increase the chances of receiving economic bids.
The new tender is expected to be launched after the document revisions, with the award for the redesign of Palatine Square expected to take place after the summer holidays. The construction work will be delayed by about half a year due to the delay in the award process, but the city administration is working diligently to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
For the latest updates on the Palatine Square redesign project, residents are encouraged to visit the local council planning portal or the project's official website. In the meantime, those interested in learning more about typical components involved in such redevelopment projects can consult relevant resources online.
