Mijas invests nearly half a million euros to renew beach equipment

The Mijas City Council has begun preparations for the upcoming bathing season at the beaches. The Council has opened a public tender for the purchase of new equipment worth 483,685.40 euros, as announced by the Beaches Councilor, Daniel Gómez, who explained that the new materials will serve to renew and optimize the existing ones. "Given the magnitude of the contract and its variety, it has been divided into different lots according to the material to be supplied," highlighted the City Council.

In this way, lot one includes the acquisition of two lifeguard and first aid modules over five meters high. The module will have a medical room, a room for lifeguards, a toilet, and a watchtower. The exterior design will be proposed by the contractor, although the City Council will have the ability to choose.

483,685 euros Investment

This is the amount that the Mijas City Council will allocate to renew the equipment on the beaches for the upcoming bathing season.

Lot two includes six units of public toilets, while lot three includes another two new modules, this time adapted for ostomized individuals, made of synthetic composite material for sanitary and antibacterial use, to ensure hygiene, easy cleaning, solid construction, invisible joints, and uniform color. This furniture will be wall-mounted.

Additionally, through lot four, it is stipulated to incorporate 80 units of 1.8×1 meter concrete platforms to facilitate access for people with reduced mobility. The platforms will be transportable and will comply with the regulatory ordinance on accessibility, concerning Accessibility Standards in infrastructure, Urbanism, Building, and Transportation in Andalusia. Twenty of the platforms must bear the City Council's shield on one of their corners.

Adapted Beaches and Calisthenics

Cleaning also has its place in this contract, specifically in lot five, so there will be 200 new trash bins. They will feature four top openings to facilitate waste separation. Lot six includes the addition of thirty benches for the Marina Walk and the Coastal Path.

For adapted beaches, lot seven stipulates six units of rollable flexi-pathways, which will allow easy assembly and disassembly. They will be 1.8 meters wide and made in ten-meter lengths with reinforced and flat edges for user safety.

"It is a very varied and ambitious equipment with which we intend to optimize the state of our beaches and continue incorporating services for our users"

Sports, in this case, is represented in lot eight with the addition of a calisthenics set, a discipline based on bodyweight training. It will include eight pull-up bars, one freestyle bar, eight vertical posts, and twenty units of clamps and eight vertical post covers.

"It is a very varied and ambitious specification with which we intend to optimize the state of our beaches and continue incorporating services for our users. Because the beaches are our main showcase, so we work tirelessly to ensure they are in perfect condition," explained Gómez.

Companies interested in bidding for this tender have until next January 22 to submit their proposals.
