The PSOE Councillor Mariola Martinez Guillen, after studying in depth the complete record of the award of section 0 of the tram, reiterates that can be understood that there was a very favorable treatment by the City of Murcia Ortiz and Acciona's joint venture in expansion the amount of total compensation that has been paid to conduct the said infrastructure.

Over 4 ½ million euros

In addition, as the reports also reveal themselves municipal technicians, Guillén Martínez reported that the joint venture formed by Ortiz and Acciona companies failed to perform works included in the project approved by the Governing Board in the amount of 4,530,862 , 78 €.

"It follows that the Consistory favored these societies, not only because these works were allowed to leave without running, but with these extensions in the amount of compensation, they paid virtually the entire fixed cost for this item.

By contrast, stresses the socialist mayor, has given no objection to paying more than 3.3 million euros of works and performances that were not included in the project, and that can only be regarded as voluntary improvements to the joint venture, besides, he had paid to get a higher score in the assessment phase of the various proposals.

The shelters lie

As an example of this favorable treatment one example, Ortiz and Acciona in its initial offer gave the construction of seven stops to marquee along the route, with a budget of EUR 164,592.05, but only installed four finalmentel and agreed to extend its initial cost up to € 598,566.10, nearly three times the total cost of the seven shelters initially offered, specifically, € 433,974.05 more.

The City paid the contest of ideas

Following this case, the contractor also offered outside the project works, a contest of ideas for the design of the awnings, and finally was the local government that has paid 28,000 euros for the competition.

Also paid promotional stand

Another fact to emerge as a waste of municipal funds is found in the installation of tram promotion booth located in the plaza of the Red Cross also was listed as out of project work to improve the supply of Ortiz and Acciona and has also paid City Hall in the amount of € 180,980.78.

Never installed vending machines

Following the listing of improper payments by the Consistory note that invoices were paid a total of € 160,570.09 to pay the staff handing out free tickets to users of the tram when the project approved by the Governing Board envisaged the construction of bus from vending machines these tickets, which, despite being covered by the project are not installed, making it necessary for the connection operation of the tram line 1, currently underway, with the section 0, cost to be added to the subscriber such personnel.

"And just as examples to reach over 4 ½ million euros for works and installations and Acciona Ortiz has done and will now have to be implemented and paid for by the city," complains Martínez Guillén.

More questions
