With a proposal of R $ 6.7 billion, the construction company Odebrecht took the lead in the dispute over Lot 2 of the Metro 19-Celest line, which will connect the center of Guarulhos, Greater SP, Anhangabaú, São Paulo. At the opening of the envelopes, on Tuesday, 23, the company offered a lower price than four other qualified competitors. According to the rules of the auction, to be declared winning and sign the contract, the company still needs to go through the technical analysis of the documentation.
