The government team will end another essential service that had years of payments with reports against the municipal auditor. Yesterday the Government Board approved the tender for the real estate cleaning service contract. The annual price amounts to 3,784,148.65 euros (VAT included), so the total for the five-year contract will be 18,920,743.26 euros.

The contract covers the cleaning of municipally owned facilities and the supply and replacement of hygienic-sanitary containers (gel, toilet paper, hand paper, etc.) in social, educational centers and sports facilities. An essential service, emphasizes the City Council, that “allows citizens to use all these facilities satisfactorily, and at the same time guarantee hygienic conditions while respecting the environment.”

The specifications include the interior spaces of the municipal buildings and also the envelopes (roofs, facades, glazing, glass, fences, bars, railings, handrails, slats, blinds, etc.) And, inside, all the movable elements, as well such as outdoor spaces (patios and urbanizations, sports courts and perimeter fences) and the cleaning of green areas, gardens and tree pits. Furthermore, the management of the collection points for all waste generated in the properties is included in the specifications.

Assume staff

The facilities included in this contract amount to 80 municipal offices, with an estimated surface area of ​​around 180,049 square meters built, and the minimum number of hours to be carried out by the cleaning service is broken down by annual fee, which must be at least 213,468 hours a year. The successful bidder will be obliged to take on the personnel currently working, and will be obliged to subrogate them, for the purposes of seniority and economic rights, from the date of implementation of the service. Likewise, the professional category and salaries of the personnel currently assigned to the service may not be reduced or modified, in accordance with the rights currently in force and, at a minimum, in the working conditions they have with the company that currently provides the service, they reassure from the Consistory.

The contract for cleaning municipal properties is the second that the government team has renewed after awarding the garbage contract in 2022. This service had already become a classic of invoices that were hesitantly paid to Acciona at almost every Government Meeting.

It is anticipated that at the end of the year the urban transport contract, which Avanza is now providing, can also be signed. Also pending is that of green areas (Actúa-STV) or medical assistance (Asisa).
