The City Council puts out to tender the renovation and improvement of playgrounds in the urban core and the outskirts of the city

The project, to which 1.1 million euros will be allocated, contemplates a comprehensive intervention for the replacement and modernization of some twenty facilities.

The Estepona City Council has put out to tender an ambitious action aimed at the renovation and improvement of municipal playgrounds located both in the urban core and in the outlying areas. The aim of this project is to modernize and put in perfect condition of use and safety these spaces for the leisure of the little ones.

The initiative contemplates the intervention in enclosures in which the play and safety elements that are in poor condition will be replaced by others of higher quality, more modern and adapted to the needs of children.

The intervention will be carried out, in this first phase, in a total of 18 playgrounds. Specifically, action will be taken in the areas located in the following locations: Cancelada nursery, Plaza de las Nieves (Cancelada), Tenencia de Alcaldía de Isdabe, Blas Infante (Picasso neighborhood), Espronceda, Plaza Pescadores, Altos de Guadalobón (Local Police Park), Avenida de Andalucía with Avenida San Lorenzo, Jardín de la Vega, El Abuelo Park, National Police (in Terraza street), Recinto Ferial, Plaza de la Comunicación, Plaza de la Concordia (Isdabe), Parque de El Ángel, Santiago Apóstol, Concha Espina, and Congreso.

The project goes out to tender for a base price of 1,088,781.15 euros (VAT included), with an initial execution period of six months.

Specifically, it contemplates the replacement of the protective surfaces formed by rubber tiles measuring 100 x 100 x 4.5 centimeters with 4-centimeter-thick continuous rubber safety pavements. In addition, the playground equipment in poor condition that can be repaired will be removed and transported to the City Hall warehouse to be used as spare parts in other elements if possible.

The urban furniture elements that interfere with the works, such as litter garbage cans or benches, stored on site, will also be removed and subsequently relocated within the children’s area or in its immediate vicinity.

The new sets of games or isolated elements included in the budget will be installed, locating them according to the safety area required and indicated by the manufacturer. Finally, in those areas that do not have a perimeter safety area, an enclosure consisting of colored metal fences 90 centimeters high will be installed.

The awarding of the works will take into account the most advantageous economic offer, but also the quality of the materials used, the aesthetics and the capacity to stimulate children’s imagination and the physical and mental development of the proposed proposal.
