The Espartinas Town Hall has put out to tender the third phase of the rehabilitation plan for tree pits, which will act on thirteen roads in the municipality with an investment of 300,000 euros.

The Espartinas Town Hall has taken the first step to execute the third phase of its rehabilitation and improvement plan for tree pits. The public tender is now published, and interested companies can submit their bids to undertake work that will be fully financed by the municipal budget.

The base budget for the tender amounts to 300,000 euros, an amount that will allow interventions on thirteen streets and developments within the municipality. The actions will focus on the most deteriorated pavements caused by the growth of tree roots planted decades ago.

The streets included in this third phase are Tomillo, Jara, Entreríos, Neuquén, Formosa, Santa Fe, Tierra del Fuego, Caballero Marqués de Mantua, Urbanización Lugar de Suevos, Villa de Cuba, Jardines del Zar, Jardines del Generalife, and Jardines del Alcázar.

The project is not limited to replacing damaged pavement. The expansion of the tree pits also aims to improve the conditions under which the trees develop, which in many cases have seen their living space reduced due to the encroachment of sidewalks and soil compaction.

The work will be carried out by expanding, regularising, or reconfiguring the existing spaces. The geometry of each tree pit will be adapted to the specific conditions of its location, with common construction solutions that will standardise the appearance of the different areas of intervention.

The delimitation will be done with the edge elements provided in each of the standard solutions defined in the project. The aim is to ensure the stability of the adjacent pavements and proper integration with the existing sidewalks.

With this third phase, the Town Hall continues a programme that has already intervened in previous phases and responds to a recurring community demand: the insecurity caused by sidewalks lifted by roots. The improvement of accessibility and the reduction of tripping hazards are two direct effects for residents in these areas.

Once the contract is awarded, the work will be carried out street by street, although the Town Hall has not yet specified the execution schedule or the exact order of interventions. Interested companies can consult the specifications and submit bids through the public sector contracting platform.
