The PP claims that the bars are not installed and the government responds
Thursday, May 24, and the beaches of Dénia do not have beach bars set up. It is the complaint that the councilors of the Popular Party in Dénia, María Mut and Isabel Gallego, have made this morning on the beach. And it is that these infrastructures should have been assembled and in operation since last May 1.
According to María Mut, the paperwork for the drafting of the new concessions of the chiringuitos began the 28 in February, when they passed for the first time by the Governing Board. And that was only a few days before it came into force, the January 9, the new contract law. Precisely these specifications indicated that the beach bars had to start operating the 1 in May. But it has not been that way.
The last thing they know from the PP is that on May 7, missing documentation was required from the companies that accessed the concessions, and they assume that until mid-June the beaches of Dénia will not have beach bars.
Óscar Mengual justifies the delay due to the demands of the Contracting Committee
The councilor for beaches in the town hall, the socialist Óscar Mengual, explained that the delay is due to a very specific demand from the Contracting Board. With the aim of avoiding «prácticas colusorias» On the part of the applicant companies, more documentation has been required to prove that there is no agreement between the interested parties to obtain the best offer.
En este caso concreto, esta solicitud de información partió, según explica Mengual, del concejal de la oposición en la Mesa de Contratación, Sergio Benito (C’s). Las empresas han tenido diez días hábiles para aportar la información, que se valorará el próximo lunes.
Mengual has indicated that he is "very calm" because the procedures are meeting the deadlines and expects that in the first weeks of June the beach bars are at full capacity on the entire Dianense coast.
The councilman took the opportunity to explain that the beach beaconing service was put out to tender yesterday and that the company will start installing the beacon in June, a process that can take a week, so they arrive on time for the indicated date , the June 15.
