mpFor the fourth time we are publishing the updated Master Plan on the Internet site of PL.2012. The Master Plan is a schedule of infrastructural projects as part of UEFA EURO 2012™.

Due to this tool on a current basis everyone can monitor progress in works on stadiums, airports, roads and railway lines.

We continue to publish information about projects in Chorzów and Kraków despite the fact that UEFA did not nominate these cities as host cities. We have been focusing on them, too, because the projects being carried out there were started based on terms and conditions laid down in the act governing preparations for the final tournament of UEFA’s European Football Championship EURO 2012™, which opened the possibility of taking advantage of simplified administrative procedures.

Together with the updated Master Plan we have published a list of completed projects. The table features investors, contractors and completion dates. If you position your cursor on the names of the investor and contractor, you will be redirected to their Websites.

Moreover, we have published a list of cancelled projects. The table provides reasons for withdrawing them from the schedule.
THE LIST OF PROJECTS WITHDRAWN FROM THE MASTER PLAN

The schedule of each project is a detailed plan of measures starting on 1 January 2008 until its completion date.

All projects were divided into several major categories: six host-cities with a stadium, city transport systems and airport, also railway transportation, supporting airports and road transport. The schedule also covers the investors. After placing your cursor on a grey diamond mark (♦), the investor’s name will be displayed in a line featuring the project’s name along with a link to his Website. A blue diamond mark (♦) next to it indicates tender data or the contractor’s Website (depending on how advanced the project is).

Two key stages

All investment projects have two stages: preparation and completion.

The first stage includes key items such as obtaining a right to administer real estate for construction purposes, obtaining administrative decisions (decisions concerning environmental conditions affecting an approval of the project’s completion, statement of land improvement requirements/location decision), the project’s feasibility study, appointing a designer, developing a construction design, obtaining a construction permit (or a permit to complete a road investment project), ensuring the financing and appointing the contractor responsible for works or supplies.

The completion stage involves the following tasks: performing works and supplies, carrying out acceptance tests and signing an acceptance protocol, obtaining a permit to operate facilities.

In the legend of the Master Plan, we included control points which are crucial moments of the project: granted building permit (▼), ensured funds (▼), selected contractor (▼), granted use permit (▼).

Completion status as at 30 June

To determine the status of the project’s completion the investors provided information about the completion of the project’s tasks expressed in % which are provided for in the schedule of the supervised projects. Then the current status of the project’s completion was calculated in % being a product of the advancement of its tasks. In this way it was possible to determine whether a given stage of the project is delayed or performed timely according to the schedule.

A given stage’s delay was determined based on the tasks both delayed and completed in advance which were summed up. In the case of the delayed projects we determined their default rate at individual stages against the stage’s duration accounting for the floating time with regard to the whole project as part of UEFA EURO 2012™.

The Master Plan’s color legend: white (o) - the project is being completed ahead of the scheduled time, green (●) - according to the scheduled time, yellow (●) - delayed, red (●) - critical delay, that is, the project is still under control but works must be accelerated in the coming months to minimize the delay; black (●) stands for a delay that cannot be made up for which means that the project is no longer viable and will not be completed prior to UEFA EURO 2012™. Due to the fact that the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) failed to provide data about the status of the projects’ completion in a way that allows to actually monitor the investment projects, the schedules of these tasks have not been updated since 31 March 2009.

The revised version of the Master Plan features the whole history of grades awarded to a given project  - just position the cursor on the last grade.

The next update is scheduled for October 2009.

The development of the entire project, i.e. UEFA EURO 2012™, may result in amending the list of projects featured in the Master Plan. Therefore, the information about the project’s status will be updated on a regular basis and published quarterly on our Website. The Master Plan will also be revised and published in October 2009, January, April, July and October in 2010 - 2011 and in January 2012. In May  2012 we will summarize the completed infrastructural projects.

The Master Plan was developed by PL.2012 thanks to excellent relations with the investors. We hope that we will be able to work together with GDDKiA properly as a result of which it will be possible to monitor progress in completing road infrastructure tasks.
