25 May 2017
Benidorm licita la redacción del proyecto para remodelar la avenida del Mediterráneo

If the deadlines are met, works between Triangular Square and Avenida de Europa could start at the end of the year

The Local Government Board today approved the tender for the contract for the drafting of the remodeling projects for the Mediterranean Avenue. Some projects that will define how this renewal will be, which will start at the end of the year and for which 650,000 euros have been reserved in this year's budget.

The mayor, Toni Pérez, has informed that the purpose of this tender is to choose the company that will be in charge of "drafting the preliminary draft or basic project of integral treatment of the whole avenue" and also "the executive project" of the first phase of this Renovation: that of the section between Plaza de la Hispanidad and Avenida de Europa, which includes Puente, Perez Llorca, Valencia and Emilio Romero journalists. The tender will be made by public tender for € 242,000 - € 200,000 plus VAT -, which would reduce about 400,000 euros to start the material execution of the works.

Pérez has specified that "he has been very demanding when it comes to establishing the requirements that companies must meet" that want to opt for this contract, to ensure that they are "very powerful" mercantiles.

The terms of reference state that the contract has a duration of six months. According to Perez, "in the first two months the preliminary draft of the whole avenue must be made, and the next four will be to concretize the project of execution of the first phase." However, when evaluating the offers, it will be taken into account that companies reduce these deadlines by up to two months, thus speeding up future works.

The mayor has stated that "if everything fits well" and the projects are available within the deadlines set by the technicians, the renovation works of the first phase could be tendered in the last quarter and start later this year, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the General Plan in which the Mediterráneo Avenue was lit.

Pérez has stressed that the renovation of this avenue is a "very important" action for the city, being one of its main arteries and one of the busiest. In any case, it will be necessary to wait for the drafting of the projects to know the scope of the project in economic terms.

Finally, he recalled that in addition to acting on the section of the avenue closest to the center, the City Council will also do in the remaining part, which runs between the avenues Europa and Atmella del Mar. In fact, tender resurfacing to improve the mobility and image of that stretch pending the second phase of renewal of Mediterráneo, as proposed by the group Citizens (Cs).
