Alfaz park project delayed after contractor wants to double the estimate

ALFAZ town hall must again put out to tender the project for revamping the  El Pla park.

The company originally awarded the contract wished to double the agreed amount, owing to increased overheads and the rising cost of materials owing to the current economic situation.

Town hall officials are now working against the clock to prepare the specifications for a new contract to ensure that modernising the park will be delayed as little as possible.

“We intend to maintain the original estimate of €300,000, which includes a €240,000 grant from the Diputacion provincial council,” Urban Development councillor Toni Such said.
