This morning, the Local Government Board approved the award of the works for the new secondary school and the Gargasindi Special Education School. The Board assumed the contracting powers precisely to speed up the administrative processes, with the aim of starting the works as soon as possible and being able to be executed by the end of 2026.
In the case of the IES Les Salines, the works have been awarded to Vialterra Infraestructuras SA for an amount of €14.748.935,36. The Architects Pablo Peñín Llobell and Miguel San Juan, prepared the Basic and Execution Project for the New Institute in October 2023 and the construction project was approved in plenary session in December 2023.
Regarding the Gargasidi CEE, the works have been awarded to Orthem Servicios y Actuaciones Ambientales for an amount of €7.055.799,57. 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 construction project was approved by plenary agreement, in an ordinary session held on November 14, 2023.
In both cases, the contractors are required to formalise the contract within 15 days, which will be the responsibility of the municipal architect. These are two of the most demanded projects at present, which will resolve the situation of overcrowding at the IES and will allow the students of the CEIP Gargasindi to return to the municipality. Both projects were paralysed for months 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.
The vote on both points in the Governing Board was carried out publicly and the councillors began to applaud after the unanimous approval of both awards.
In this regard, the mayor Ana Sala He pointed out that "we have fought hard, we have made progress in the work, finally, we can say that if we do not suffer any contingency and the process goes completely normally, we will have the second institute and the new Gargasindi special education school at the end of 2026."
