The contract for reconstrucion of Maracana will be the biggest for the World Cup 2014: the estimated cost is R$ 720 million (about US$ 400 million).
The State of Rio, owner of Maracanã, informed yesterday that one company and five consortiums will participate of the bidding process to take the contract. These consortiums paid 1% of the estimated total cost (i.e., about U$ 4 million) just to have the right to present their bids.
As expected, all major Brazilian companies will be participating of this process; these companies are the same ones which will be building or rebuilding the other stadiums of the World Cup 2014.
The company bidding alone is OAS.
The Consortiums are:
Consortium Brasil 2014: Sanerio, BA Engenharia e Meio Ambiente and Hexagonal Construções.
Consortium Construcap-Cetenco-Convap Maracanã: Construcap-CCPS Engenharia, Cetenco and Convap.
Consortium Novo Maracanã: Queiroz Galvão, Carioca Christiani-Nielsen.
Consortium Novo Maracanã Paulitec-Estacon-Recoma: Paulitec, Estacon Engenharia and Recoma.
Consortium Maracanã Rio 2014: Andrade Gutierrez, Odebrecht and Delta.
The biggest civil engineering companies in Brazil are: OAS, Queiroz Galvão, Andrade Gutierrez and Odebrecht.
These companies operate most major civil works in Brazil (roads and bridges, public buildings, hydroelectric plants, etc), they have contracts in several countries (particularly Latin America and Africa).
These companies will certainly get contracts not only to rebuild the stadiums, but to work in all major infrastructure work for the World Cup 2014: airports, ports, new roads, etc. Update, July 22nd: Andrade Gutierrez and Via Engenharia have just won a contract to rebuild the Brasilia Stadium, the second most expensive project for 2014.
The President Lula recently issued a Provisional Law reducing bureaucracy to build airports, but such Law doesn’t benefit Stadiums. So, the bidding process will to have to go through several steps, and it will take at least a couple of weeks for the process to finish and the contractor to be known.
