The mayor, Óscar Noda, signed this Thursday the contract with the company Hormiconsa Canarias S.A by which the contractor winning the public tender called by the City Council of Yaiza last April undertakes to execute the project of conditioning the municipal sports court attached to the El Aulagar urbanization of Playa Blanca in exchange for 480,000 euros including taxes, which is 86,000 euros less than established in the base budget of the tender.
Among other actions, the order contemplates the expansion and improvement of the multi-purpose sports court, placement of changing rooms, bathrooms, bleachers, perimeter fencing and the construction of a space for the storage of any necessary element, whether for maintenance or use of the court itself. On the other hand, during the execution of the work, the installation of four manholes and pipes will be provided for the installation of the posts and projectors that will provide lighting to the court.
Óscar Noda maintains that “with this new and powerful investment we continue to comply with the program of improvements to municipal sports facilities to promote the practice of healthy activities, especially among our youngest population”.
For his part, the Councilor for Sports and Works of Yaiza, Ángel Lago, recalls that “from the beginning we opted for a forceful intervention in this court, as we also did in the San Marcial del Rubicón sports center that we delivered to citizen service this April”.
In addition to compliance with the technical and administrative requirements, Hormiconsa's offer improves the guarantee period established for the work by three additional years, which goes from two to five years, and also improves the execution period of the project, which goes from six months to five, although the City Council estimates that the contractor could even deliver the infrastructure earlier.
The project determines that for the rehabilitation of the court it is necessary to demolish a large part of the current walls. This will be the previous step to the preparation of the land and the construction of the foundation of the new perimeter wall that will reach an average height of two meters on which a court mesh will be installed to prevent balls from leaving the enclosure.
One of the pressing demands of the Tinyala Basketball Club, linked to the Municipal Sports Schools program and whose athletes are regular users of the court, is the provision of bathrooms. The court will have two bathrooms, one for men and one for women, adapted for people with reduced mobility and two changing rooms equipped with lockers, wooden benches and non-slip flooring, the same type of flooring that the bathrooms will have.
When the Yaiza City Council undertook the total rehabilitation of La Molina street, the road that passes in front of the court, equipped with a bike lane, also took the opportunity and built the parking area of the sports facility and its accesses.
