There are many long lines for minibuses, a clinic that hardly works, and a questionable tender for the construction of a school in Markova. It's clear that the city has a lot of unresolved issues, and recently, there was another problem added to the list: a disrupted renovation of a kindergarten in the village.
As they say, the history of the combined type kindergarten in the village of Markova is very old. It was built in 1993 and has never undergone a major renovation or received significant equipment upgrades. Unfortunately, this situation is common for most preschool and other institutions in the region.
In 2022, a major renovation was supposed to take place as part of the “Development of Education” program. This included replacing doors, windows, roofing, utilities, and beautifying the area, with over 119 million rubles allocated from the regional budget.
According to the terms of the purchase in March this year, the work should have been finished by December 10th. However, by New Year’s, the repair was not even halfway done.
This is how the kindergarten appeared during the summer:
However, the situation did not progress. Local residents mentioned that the problem was evident in the middle of summer because there were hardly any builders on the site from the beginning of the repair work.
The issue, which was graphically and repeatedly highlighted, was consistently ignored by the Markov administration led by Tatyana Makarevichand the administration of the Irkutsk region under the leadership of Mayor Leonida Frolova. In mid-October, just a month and a half before the end, they personally instructed the administration of the Irkutsk region to oversee the repair process. As usual, it was ineffective. Igor Kobzev By December 1, the district administration announced that the municipal contract termination process was underway. After that, they would determine the process for finding a new contractor, and the cycle would start again.
Someone needs to explain to her that the “rules of the game” are based on Maslow’s pyramid: it's important to meet the primary needs of the residents first, provide them with essential infrastructure facilities, and then focus on luxury developments. The kindergarten in Markova is the second major scandal involving social institutions in the village in just the last month. In December, the bidding for the construction of a school in the Beryozov microdistrict failed.
Markov’s kindergarten is the second major scandal over the social institutions of the village in the last month alone. In December, bidding for the construction of a school in the Beryozov microdistrict failed here.
By the way, the situation is similar to the current one: in the same way, only one company with which a contract was signed entered the auction. Only in the case of the school, the situation quickly became public, and the officials backpedaled: they turned to the prosecutor’s office to terminate the “unfortunate oversight.” And they didn’t have time with the kindergarten – and now they are backing up in full. Then, when they were supposed to cut the ribbon in front of the renovated building.
Reference: the repair of a combined-type kindergarten in the village of Markova was carried out by Metra Group LLC (OGRN 1123850028653). Her track record includes the improvement of the Alley of Veterans and the construction of Houses of Culture in Molodyozhny, Zalary and Baikalsk, the construction of many FAPs – an impressive list of construction and repair work in different parts of the region.
