PDL politician Silviu Prigoană, who also is associated in another company with Negoiţă's wife. ACM 93, a company which won road building and maintenance contracts of over 200 million lei (€50 million), is owned by Ionel Pirpiliu, the brother of Ştefan Pirpiliu, a PD-L politician and friend of Negoiţă. The way many of the contracts were awarded to this company has been criticised by Evenimentul Zilei, because there were no competitive bids, being simple additional documents to older contracts. In one case, companies owned by Prigoană won contracts for providing Platanus trees at a price of 30 lei per tree, but, through an additional document, the price was changed to 1,500–2,400 lei, more than 50 times higher than the initial price, whereas the common retail prices on the market are currently around 100-300 lei. Criticism of his initiatives Criticism came from Jurnalul Naţional, over the area of greenery which was removed for the creation of parking lots or buildings. Another initiative for which Negoiţă was criticised by Gândul was spending large amounts of money for overpriced fixtures, such as spending €4 million for 'coloured public fountains', while at the same time, the town hall borrowed €70 million.
