The Yaiza City Council approved in its last plenary session the awarding of the municipal road cleaning service to the company FCC Medio Ambiente S.A. with an annual cost of 693,000 euros, a contractual commitment that determines the cleaning of roads, sidewalks and curbs, washing of parks and squares and emptying of bins, among other obligations. "We want to offer our neighbors the best service with the best possible resources, which is why in the evaluation of the public tender we gave greater value to the technical criteria than to the economic ones," the mayor highlighted.
Yaiza also approved in plenary the feasibility study for the new public tender for the garbage collection service. It should be remembered that the City Council will again tender the service concession contract for the collection and transport of solid urban waste (fraction remaining and implementation of organic fraction) and other waste from the municipality after the previous public tender was annulled, after one of the companies excluded from the tender appealed the municipal decision to award it to FCC, an appeal that had the favorable opinion of the Canary Islands Contracts Tribunal.
The City Council then desisted from filing a contentious-administrative appeal before the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands against said ruling to avoid prolonging the new tender and its resolution over time.
The Councilor for Cleaning of Yaiza, Jonatan Lemes, has detailed that the company that is awarded the concession of the service must be responsible not only for the collection and transport of MSW (remaining fraction and organic fraction), other household waste (bulky items, furniture, junk and rubble, WEEE, batteries, toners, pruning, metals, wood, paints, car oils, dead animals and tires), but will also be committed to the collection of clothing and footwear as well as the collection, transport and management of domestic oil.
The feasibility study of the service considers, among other things, the justification of the quantitative and qualitative advantages that advise the use of the service concession contract with an indication of the quality levels that are necessary to comply with, the administrative structure necessary to verify the provision, as well as the variables in relation to the impact of the concession on budgetary stability.
