Carlos Cavallas Silva, a former manager of the company Terni Stamp, denied that the textile company had set the cost of a kit for a motorcycle jacket and a safety vest for $ 15, as he said 14 days ago in various media Ricardo, director of the Agency National Transit.
Cavallas said that Anton misused the quote, and that he has sent a letter expressing his displeasure at the statements publicly given, because "at no time has it been said that the kit is worth $ 15." "I am asked to quote a retrospective plaque worth $ 2.50, a set of six stickers at $ 1.50, the reflective vest $ 8 and a reflective band $ 3," said Cavallas Silva.
In total, all these products add up to $ 15, but the set of adhesives and the band were optional, affirms the exegete, who emphasizes that the textile offered them to the opposition of some associations of motorized to use the vest. "Because it's true, you see one of the Harley Davidson that goes in his leather sweater, put on those strips, it kills his look," comments Cavallas.
Anton said two weeks ago that Terni stamp's offer was expensive and justified contracting between ANT and the company Intercontinental de Materials (subsidiary of EICA), which in turn contracted with a third party. Experts in public contracting believe that they should have done a reverse auction and not choose directly the subsidiary of EICA. They also question the purchase because the contract is signed, manager of EICA, who had worked with Anton in the ANT as its financial coordinator.
Cavallas also showed the vests they made for the ANT and presented it with the quote on May 31 last year: "One thing is a reflective vest and another thing is three strips, very different," he said. Terni stamp made two types of vests, one for the Coast and another for the Sierra. "Made in Alpine fabric 100% phosphorescent polyester lime green, edged around its contour, at the sides it wears elastic to secure", specifies the quotation.
The contract for the purchase of 600 thousand vests and 600 thousand plaques was signed on December 1, 2010 for $ 7.1 million. The kit: a vest and a plate, cost ANT $ 10.90, as the vest was worth $ 5.50 and the retro reflective plate $ 5.40. Terni stamp quoted the vest at $ 8 and the plaque at $ 2.50, that is $ 10.50 each package, $ 0.40 cents less each kit ($ 240 thousand less than what ANT ultimately paid. The Terni stamp license plate was $ 2.50, 54% less than the $ 5.40 that ANT paid as fixed in the contract.
Audit in progress
The Comptroller General of the State has already begun the audit of the recruitment of the high visibility vests and all the contracts signed by public entities with the subsidiary of EICA, Intercontinental de Materials IMC.
According to EICA employees, IMC started as a supplier of computer products and in recent year’s sales had fall so much that it was only maintained to provide technical support to other companies of the EICA Group. According to the Superintendence of Companies, IMC recorded more losses than gains.
