Following authorisation from the Regional Ministry of Education for the Town Council to put the new secondary school and the Gargasindi Special Education School out to tender, tomorrow's ordinary plenary session will deal with the tender for both projects so that they can be awarded as soon as possible.
In the case of the second secondary school, the base budget is 14,899,419.51 €. The architects Pablo Peñín Llobell and Miguel San Juan, drew up the Basic and Execution Project for the New Secondary School in October 2023 and the construction project was approved in plenary session in December 2023.
As for the CEE Gargasidi has a budget of 7.493.415,00 €, the Basic and Execution Project was drafted by the architects Miguel Ródenas Mussons, Jesús Olivares Casado and Juan Miguel Ochotorena Elicegui, in October 2023. The works project was approved by plenary agreement, in an ordinary session held on 14 November 2023.
Since the previous steps have been taken, the Town Council can call an open procedure for the awarding of the aforementioned contract, the government team considers that the works could be awarded by the end of the year and the works executed by the end of 2026 if the process develops normally and without contingencies.
Furthermore, in the proposal that will go through tomorrow's plenary session, it is proposed to delegate to the Local Government Board the powers of the plenary session as the contracting body in this awarding procedure in order to make it more agile.
These are two of the most demanded projects in the municipality at present, which were at a standstill while waiting for the Generalitat to authorise the modification of the delegation of powers due to the increase in the budget of both projects, included in the Pla Edificant. In this respect, the mayoress, Ana Sala, pointed out that "we have fought hard, we have made progress with the work. We had everything ready and waiting for this moment to arrive and, at last, we can say that in two years, if there are no contingencies and the process goes completely smoothly, we will have the second secondary school and the new Gargasindi special education school".
