The Mijas Town Hall has put out to tender a contract worth €5.7 million for the conservation and repair of all public spaces in the municipality, including the Coastal Path, valid until 2030.
The Mijas Town Hall has launched an ambitious urban maintenance plan that will involve an investment of nearly €5.7 million until the year 2030. The contract, which has just been put out to public tender, covers the conservation and repair of all public spaces in the municipality, from streets and squares to the Coastal Path.
Interested companies have until August 12 to submit their bids. The contract has an initial duration until December 31, 2028, with the possibility of two annual extensions that would extend it until December 31, 2030. Each annual budget is set at €1,217,899.99 (including VAT), except for 2026, which will be adjusted proportionally to the contract signing date.
The planned works include the conservation of municipal squares, streets, pavements, urban surfaces, sidewalks, manholes, ditches, medians, plots, enclosures, fences, fountains, hydrants, paths, and other civil engineering elements. The removal of urban barriers and adaptation to current regulations are also included, as well as the comprehensive maintenance of the Coastal Path, a key pedestrian axis for tourism and sustainable mobility along the Mijas coastline.
The specifications require the awarded company to have a minimum human team of thirteen professionals for general tasks: one liaison technician, two administrative staff, and ten workers (officials, labourers, and drivers). For the specific service of the Coastal Path, an additional team of one liaison technician, one administrative staff member, and four workers will be required. In terms of material resources, the company must provide at least two light vehicles, one tipping truck, three portable concrete mixers, two compaction machines, one pavement cutter, two water-cutting saws, three jackhammers, three angle grinders, two generators, and one dumper. For the Coastal Path, an additional light vehicle, four cordless drills, two sanders, two circular saws, one pressure washer, and another dumper are required.
One of the most notable aspects of the contract is the requirement for quick response times to incidents. Urgent actions, such as sinkholes, landslides, or damaged signage, must begin within a maximum of 24 hours. The specifications positively assess companies that offer shorter response times, as these incidents directly affect public safety and the Town Hall's liability. For actions considered a priority, the maximum start time will be three working days, while ordinary actions must begin within five working days.
This investment represents a significant boost in the maintenance of public roads in Mijas, a municipality with an extensive network of streets and outdoor spaces that require constant attention, especially in tourist areas and high-traffic zones. The inclusion of the Coastal Path, a route of great scenic and sporting value, underscores the council's commitment to preserving the municipality's natural and recreational assets.
The residents of Mijas will benefit from improved urban infrastructure, with reduced risks of accidents due to damage and greater accessibility. The contract also aims to optimise the safety and quality of roads and facilities, which will enhance the experience for both residents and tourists visiting the locality.
The tender process is open, and companies are expected to submit their bids before August 12. The award will take place in the following months, and work will begin once the contract is formalised. The Town Hall is confident that this investment will keep Mijas in optimal condition for the coming years.
