The Paeria of Lleida will have to pay in 2025 a total of 4,811,645 euros with VAT included for the monthly fees of three municipal facilities built under a public works concession regime. These are the headquarters of the Urban Guard, the School of Fine Arts and the Albarés nursery school, in the Bordeta neighborhood.
The local governing board set last Wednesday the amount that the city council will pay this fiscal year for these three buildings, whose contracts date back to the years 2006 and 2007.
How much Lleida will pay for each equipment
The highest amount corresponds to the headquarters of the Urban Guard, with 2,476,665 euros. In second place is the School of Fine Arts, located in the old church of Sant Pau, with 1,235,207 euros. The third item is for the Albarés nursery school, in La Bordeta, with 1,099,773 euros.
These amounts are part of the fees that the Paeria pays each month to the awarding companies, both for the cost of the works and for the maintenance tasks included in the contracts.
Concessions for 25 years
The three facilities were built through a public works concession for a period of 25 years. During that period, the council maintains the payment of a monthly bill to the concessionaires. Once that period ends, the properties will become municipal property.
The annual amounts are not fixed, since they are updated each fiscal year based on the budget with which the projects were contracted.
Awardees of the contracts
The School of Fine Arts was awarded to Acsa, a company that shortly after integrated into Sorigué. The headquarters of the Urban Guard was awarded to a temporary union of companies formed by Sorigué and Benito Arnó. In the case of the Albarés nursery school, the award went to Benito Arnó.
With this approval, the city council sets the expenditure for 2025 for three municipal facilities that remain linked to a concession model agreed upon nearly two decades ago and which will remain in force until the foreseen contractual period expires.
