Torrevieja proposes awarding Habaneras Auditorium works for €9.65 million
The contract covers four projects and is due to take 24 months to complete. The company recommended for the contract must provide a €398,758.05 bond.
Torrevieja Town Council’s Contracting Committee has proposed awarding Continental Obras y Mantenimiento, S.L. the contract for work on the Habaneras Auditorium and its surroundings for €9,649,944.81, including VAT. The decision was taken on 29 October and made public on 2 November. The proposal must still go through the steps required before the contract can be formally awarded and work can begin.
The company scored 92.20 points among the ten bids admitted, ahead of GRULOP, with 91.5165, and ORTIZ, with 90.8043. According to the council, Continental’s bid is 12.89% below the tender budget. To proceed, the company must submit the required documents and provide a bond of €398,758.05.
The contract brings together four projects. Alongside completing the auditorium, it covers improvements to Calle Salero and work at the Varadero; an underground 20 kV power line and a switching centre; and the renewal of drinking water and rainwater drainage networks around the Museo del Mar.
The planned completion period is 24 months from the signing of the site-setting-out inspection record. The bid also includes an additional 45 months of warranty beyond the required one year, bringing the total cover to 57 months.
The council set the tender budget at €9,155,275.94 excluding VAT. In June, it had announced an investment of €10,485,452, including VAT, for the project design for this phase. The current proposed contract award is €9,649,944.81, including VAT.
The project is the second phase of the Eras de la Sal development. Designed by Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos, it aims to connect Paseo Vista Alegre, Calle Salero and the former Varadero of Marina Internacional. The new venue is intended to host the Certamen Internacional de Habaneras y Polifonía and other open-air events, with a planned capacity of 1,502.
For residents of Guardamar and the Vega Baja, the project means a new cultural venue in a nearby city, as well as work on streets and utility networks around Torrevieja’s port. The next step is for the company to submit the required documents and bond so the contract can be formally awarded, after which work can begin.
