The court ordered the process of bidding for road sweeping services and public places in. One of the competitors, the São Paulo consortium cleaner, filed a writ of mandamus after being disqualified from the dispute and obtained an injunction on the 1st.
The panel management () says that it does not comment on cases under the analysis of the judiciary and that the bidding process has complied with legal and technical requirements.
In the note, the Municipal Secretariat of Subprefecture also says that daily sweeping services are maintained and have ten thousand employees.
In the action, the consortium states that “disqualification was mistakenly motivated by the use of ‘nonexistent’ rates of PIS and Cofins in its cost spreadsheet, despite having been shown to be calculated aliquots.”
Sao Paulo Clean says it has inserted in its cost spreadsheet a 3.39% rate for PIS and Cofins to adopt, as well as the other competitors, the real profit tax regime, instead of using a nominal rate of 9.25%.
Alubras, an association that brings together urban cleaning companies – the most clean São Paulo consortium – says the segment is authorized by laws (10,637/2002 and 10.833/2003) and normative guidelines following the rate on real profit.
The Association, however, states that Nunes Management considered that companies that inserted a 9.25%rate in its cost spreadsheet, thus resulting in overpriced.
“On the other hand, proposals with higher values have been qualified, which may imply a significant impact on public coffers,” says Alubras.
“It is estimated that the cost difference, during the initial term of three years of the contract, with the possibility of extension for up to a decade, can reach $ 1 billion,” adds the association.
