By Arthur Hof · 09.11.2026 · 4 min read

Comuna Orțișoara in Timiș county signed a street modernisation contract on 5 November 2026. The contractor recorded in the notice is OPREFIB CONSTRUCT 2016, with SC CLAU SPRINT CONSTRUCT SRL named as consortium member. The value is 3,390,831.45 RON, about 634,951 EUR, and the works period is 10 months.

The notice states one total: 3,500 m of street, spread over 12 streets in three villages. It also names culverts with their diameters, road markings, road signs and a geotextile layer on one street. For none of these does it state a quantity.

The notice was published on the day it was signed.

The notice states 3,500 m across three villages

The contract is notice SCNA1138922 on the public procurement portal, titled Modernizare străzi în comuna Orțișoara, județul Timiș. Its CPV code is 45233120-6, construction of roads. The description gives the length by village:

Seceani carries most of the length: eight of the twelve streets. The notice gives the general design values too. The design speed is 25 km/h. The carriageway is between 3.00 m and 6.00 m wide, the platform between 4.00 m and 7.00 m, and the cross slope of the carriageway is 2.5%. The pavement is a flexible structure.

The layers and the geotextile are described street by street

The works differ with the state of each street. For new construction and widening, the notice lists a wearing course of 4 cm asphalt concrete B.A. 16, a binder course of 6 cm open-graded asphalt concrete B.A.D. 22.4 and an upper foundation of crushed stone. The description we hold is cut off after that layer.

For one street, Strada 1 in Orțișoara, the notice gives a full build-up:

Strada 1 Orțișoara): Se va utiliza geotextil, urmat de straturi de uzură (4 cm BA 16) și de legătură (8 cm BAD 22.4), straturi superioare din piatră spartă (20 cm), inferioare din balast (20 cm) și un strat de formă din balast (15 cm).

In English: geotextile will be used, followed by a wearing course of 4 cm B.A. 16 and a binder course of 8 cm B.A.D. 22.4, an upper layer of 20 cm crushed stone, a lower layer of 20 cm ballast and a formation layer of 15 cm ballast. Note that the binder course is 8 cm here and 6 cm in the general description. The notice also lists streets with existing paving that is taken up. The geotextile is named for this one street only, and no area is given. A supplier of geosynthetics can read the place and the layer, not the quantity.

Culverts are named by material and diameter

On drainage, the notice states what happens to the culverts and the ditches:

Scurgerea apelor: Se vor demola și înlocui podețele existente, deteriorate, cu podețe tubulare noi din beton armat (diametru Ø600 mm pentru traseu curent) și din polietilenă (diametru Ø400 mm pentru trotuare)

In English: the existing damaged culverts will be demolished and replaced with new tubular culverts of reinforced concrete (diameter Ø600 mm for the running route) and of polyethylene (diameter Ø400 mm for the sidewalks). Existing earth ditches will be cleaned out and reprofiled, and new ditches built where needed.

This is the part most useful to a maker of drainage and precast concrete: two materials, two diameters, and which one goes where. What the notice does not state is how many culverts there are or how long each run is.

Markings and signs are named without a quantity

On traffic safety the notice says:

Siguranța circulației: Proiectul prevede realizarea de marcaje rutiere (longitudinale, transversale, inclusiv desene pe carosabil) și amplasarea de indicatoare rutiere (de avertizare, prioritate, informare)

In English: the project provides for road markings (longitudinal, transversal, including drawings on the carriageway) and for road signs (warning, priority, information). Three sign types and three marking types are named, with no count and no area. For marking and signage the notice sets the scope, not the volume. The notice names no guardrails.

Rural-roads funding, and how this notice sits in the pool

The notice says the project is financed by the European Union and the Government of Romania through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, under intervention DR-28, "Crearea/Modernizarea infrastructurii rutiere de bază din spațiul rural", supplemented from the local budget.
