[Reporter Su Mengjuan/Taichung Report] The Taichung Arena originally had a budget of 6.5 billion yuan to build, but after six failed bids, the Taichung City Government proposed to increase the budget to 9.998 billion yuan. Because of the additional 3.5 billion yuan and the increase rate is as high as 52%, the council will hold a temporary meeting Many councilors strongly questioned the basis and calculation of the additional budget. Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan pointed out that the number of national projects is more than that in Taichung. "We are the most conservative," she said. If this time There is no way to make it through the additional budget. The Taichung Arena guarantees that the contract will not go out and the bid will not be sold, "because everyone knows the market."

The Taichung City Government increased the dome budget to 9.998 billion yuan, an increase of 3.5 billion yuan from the original budget, an increase of 52%, which aroused the concerns of the councilors. Councilor Wu Peiyun pointed out that everyone is looking forward to the Taichung Arena, but the Taichung Arena has added such a huge amount all of a sudden, but the reasons in the project report are only rising prices, shortage of labor and materials, international standards and multi-purpose Sports venues, etc., but did not explain how the figure of 3.5 billion was calculated. The city government should clearly explain the origin of this figure.

Lu Xiuyan pointed out that the dome project has its own specialization. The project budgets from the central government and other counties and cities have increased more than Taichung. "We are still the most conservative." Taichung uses the most conservative algorithm and hopes to increase the budget. If it can be passed, she is worried that if the additional budget of the Taichung Arena cannot be passed this time, it is guaranteed that the contract will not be issued and the bid will not be passed, because everyone knows the market.

Lu Xiuyan shouted to the councilors present that if the additional budget is passed, the city government will quickly process the contract. She hopes that the government will have the determination to let the Taichung Arena be contracted out and start construction at the same time.

Lu Xiuyan also said that the price of goods is still rising, the price of eggs, water and electricity are still rising, "If you don't seize this opportunity, you will have a hard time in the future."

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan pointed out that if the additional budget cannot be met this time, the Taichung Arena will guarantee that the contract will not go out and the bid will be lost, "because everyone knows the market."
