美景新廈於2023年3月透過市建局招標聘請大維修承建商,瑞群承辦該項工程。荃威花園於2023年透過市建局「招標妥」選擇「樑」承辦強制驗樓及消防改善工程,合約總額208萬元。兩宗工程承辦商皆涉案,業主關注工程進度及賠償問題。
據市建局招標廣告,美景新廈2023年3月招聘大維修承建商;瑞群網頁顯示其承辦該項工程。該大廈劃分6座,本報記者昨午到場,見只餘頂樓部分外牆有搭棚。大堂張貼去年12月法團會議紀錄,瑞群稱因簷篷檢驗出錯需重做;瑞群另為地渠工程報價約212.4萬元,被法團質疑理據。
業主稱出資10萬 臨完工再追加工程
業主何女士稱已集資約10萬元,工程展開逾一年並陸續完工,近數周因頂層漏水要再搭棚維修,「要做都無辦法」。住戶李先生稱近月大廈再為渠道工程集資過百萬元,加上頂層漏水維修,質疑項目不屬原本工程範圍,且屋苑多長者,憂不法分子有機可乘,並關注拘捕行動後有否賠償等。居民吳先生憂慮工程不了了之,「都無得擔心,唯有等,都唔知點搞法」。
荃威花園2023年經市建局「招標妥」揀選「樑」承辦強制驗樓及消防改善工程,合約總額208萬元。荃威花園法團秘書趙恩來稱,法團正聯絡市建局及當區民政處等部門,並諮詢法律意見跟進,包括與「樑」解約、重新招標等。他稱「樑」不屬低價顧問,法團已付約81.9萬元,而屋宇署已批核荃威花園強制驗樓報告,就算撤換顧問亦毋須再驗樓,但要修訂工程標書,相信對工程進度影響不大。他補充,公司涉案但未定罪仍可履行合約,屋苑解約要賠錢,但荃威合約設解約條款,將交業主投票決定。
陸偉雄:或需賠錢解約
大律師陸偉雄稱,涉案公司有可能不被起訴,除非合約列明涉刑事案可解約或有「逃生條款」,否則業主仍須履行合約或賠錢解約,雙方亦可因應最新情况協商解約。他說,倘公司遭起訴或清盤導致工程爛尾,屬最不幸情况,業主可解約但料難追討,並要花費找新公司接手。
律師梁永鏗稱,涉案公司即使被揭在某屋苑圍標,其他屋苑法團要證實該公司的工程合約同樣以非法手段所得,才能合理解約,建議業主了解招標過程有否違法,並向廉署求助。他說若相關公司仍有施工,則難指控其無力履行合約,建議業主加強監工,若發現停工或進度落後,則涉違約。
