The tender for the maintenance of Arona's parks is delayed due to errors in the documents.
In Arona, the tender for park maintenance is delayed due to errors in the documents, which may affect the cost of the works and is drawing criticism from the opposition regarding the insufficient number of employees.
The Arona City Council has experienced a delay in hiring a company to maintain parks and squares. The terms of the tender were agreed upon a month ago, but errors have now been discovered in the documents. This may affect the cost of the work.
City administration officials say that these errors will require everything to be redone and a new deadline for tender applications to be announced.
At the end of July, the City Council had already approved the terms of the competition for the maintenance of green areas. They planned to spend almost 28 million euros on this. At the time, most of the deputies supported this decision.
But now it has turned out that the tender conditions did not take into account the real cost of paying the employees who are planned to be hired. This concerns about ten new people.
The opposition party, Más por Arona, believes that ten employees will not be enough to take care of all the parks, especially in the evenings, at night, and on weekends. They say that the area of green spaces in Arona has increased significantly in recent years.
City Council representative Clari Pérez admitted that the green area maintenance service is currently not working well. They lack equipment and people.
Más por Arona criticizes the city authorities for not planning everything in advance and not listening to advice. They believe that this is a serious problem, because the maintenance of parks and squares is very important for the city.
Earlier, Clari Pérez stated that the new tender would help improve the maintenance of green areas and solve the problems that have accumulated over the years.
The city authorities promise that the new contract will not only allow for better maintenance of parks, but also improve the working conditions of employees and increase their number.
Clari Pérez emphasizes that this issue requires an important political decision that will affect the entire city.
