ACN Figueres.-The City Council of Figueres is about to award the new contract for parks and gardens. The Deputy Mayor, Pere Casellas, has said that the applications have already been opened and that, at present, the legal services are "reviewing" some aspects of the contract but that it is expected that it will be delayed in the coming weeks. The consistory wants to prevent the situation experienced with the rubbish contract from being repeated, which was canceled by the Catalan Court of Contracts on the grounds that the procedure was not performed correctly. The governing team is now working on a report that will determine how the contest should resume, and how much the shock plan will cost to improve city cleanup for at least another year. Casellas has already advanced that they are planning to allocate between 500,000 and 800. 000 euros in machinery purchase and more hours of service. At the same time, the formalities for municipal lighting have been completed, so far in the hands of Ecoserveis.
Figueres plans to award in the coming weeks the new contract for parks and gardens, so far in the hands of the joint venture Ecoserveis. It is part of the division of the services that the company managed, along with garbage and street lighting. The openings of the seven companies that opted in were opened and the winner is a Temporary Business Union. Despite this, the Deputy Mayor, Pere Casellas, said that the legal services were just "overhauling" the conditions due to some "difficulties presenting some elements of the contract" but hopes that they would be resolved soon. The contract has an initial duration of two years and provides for two extensions of one year each worth about 2.3 million euros (MEUR) per year. The government team wants to dispel any doubts to prevent the situation repeated with the garbage contract, which has been annulled, repeats. He said that they are working on a report detailing what the new contest should look like and also the costs of improving the cleanup in the city - which Casellas described as "very bad". The cleaning shock plan Specifically, on Friday, Ecoservices management plans were approved, which contemplate the annual budget to assume the service so far, but the Deputy Mayor says that the "extra" plan should be added as shock that are made and will last at least a year. In this sense, he has advanced that they contemplate allocating between 500,000 and 800,000 euros to buy reinforcement machinery and more hours or new staff. "We have to weigh every scenario in order to make a decision but the first thing is that the city is clean and that money has to be spent," he said. "We all need to be aware, however, that taxes have not been raised and, therefore, what must be destined for this will have to go somewhere." This situation will precisely delay the approval of the budgets for the coming year, which they expect to lead to initial approval during the plenary session next January. Lighting, in Fisersa At the same time, the town hall is making the formalities for the multi-municipal company Fisersa to assume the management of public lighting directly. "We hope that in a couple of months the administrative steps have been taken and we can bring it to the full," he said. In this sense, he has advanced that the budget will contemplate an investment of almost 500,000 annual euros to begin the renewal of the luminaires of the city. "We believe that almost half of us have to change, as well as electrical installations, the total investment is close to 6 MEUR," says Casellas. |
