The Municipal Citizens Group in Cartagena has met today with the Parks and Gardens Business Committee.

During the meeting, the workers of this service have transferred to the spokesman of the orange training, Manuel Padín, his concern about the situation that currently live 80 workers and their families by the state of maintenance and conservation contract of parks and gardens of Cartagena who has been in the air for more than 4 years, causing, according to them, "a lot of restlessness among the staff".

The workers want to have the complete assurance that the contracting table and the specifications will safeguard the economic solvency of the winning company, and its level of training and experience in the sector.

The City Council today published the list of companies, 18, that have been submitted to the hiring of the service of conservation and improvement of gardens and trees in Cartagena

According to the trade union legal cabinets, there are anomalies in the current specifications, some fourteen.

Among the most important, the representatives of the workers have criticized that in the clause that deals with the award and valuation criteria, only the supply of plant units and a bag of hours but not the technical proposals are taken into account for the valuation.

According to the chairman of the works council, José Miguel Martínez, with this list of conditions any company can submit a competitive offer without being specialized, without providing experience and without demonstrating its ability to carry out the basic tasks of irrigation, fumigation, or pruning , among other.

In clause 4.3, which deals with financing, according to the works council, there are budget items for 2018 and 2019, 4.8 million euros per year, more than 9.7 million euros in total, but there is no budget item to finance the year of extension, that of 2020. In clause 7.3, they consider that offers with economic references should be excluded in envelope 2 that includes the technical proposal.

On the other hand, the local spokesman of Citizens, Manuel Padín, has lamented that "as much the Popular Party in its time of government as the current coalition of government have been incapable until the time of taking out one of the most important municipal contracts for a municipality that must ensure about 870,000 square meters of parks and gardens in the municipality, it has been working for almost five years without the new contract ".

"And with this problem, a service that needs to be strengthened suffers," said the spokesman of Cs, which ensures that the delay in contracting harms the service and maintenance of our parks and gardens is done in a precarious situation and in very limited conditions, something that we have been denouncing since the beginning of the legislature ".

Manuel Padín recalled that it was the errors in the publication procedure which put a brake on the new contract in June, and he has promised to meet with the hiring manager, Councilwoman Isabel García, "to resolve all the questions raised. for the workers. "

In that meeting he will ask, the spokesman also wants to clarify the intentions of the MC party that publicly announced a proposal for the creation of a public business entity that would assume the maintenance and conservation of the parks and gardens of Cartagena, something that would be debated in the Plenary October but that was finally withdrawn.
