MICI-BID-CO-2022-0192
Metro of Bogota First Line - First Tranch — Request V
Country: Colombia
Reception date: August, 12 2022
Current Status: Open
Requesters:
Three residents of the city of Bogotá, Colombia
Summary of the Request
The Request describes a potential damage to the Requesters’ economic and patrimony derived from the expropriation of his commercial property (automotive service station) for the construction of the Project.
The Requesters allege that an incorrect appraisal during the expropriation did not consider the investment in installing the infrastructure and the underground works to build a service station, therefore they only received an amount for the land and the visible construction.
In addition, the incorrect appraisal has led to the executing agency to seek payment from the requesters to cover the expenses of dismounting the infrastructure of the station due to a “environmental liability”, despite the expropriation documents that state these expenses will be covered by the executing agency.
Finally, the Request cites that the loss of business compensation is at stake after the environmental liability claim. All the cited above are in an alleged noncompliance with the IDB’s relevant policies.
