The Local Government Board of the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council has approved the award of the contract for the conservation of the city's tree pits to the company Viveros Eskalmendi, for an amount of 452,308 euros. This offer represents a reduction of 24.6% compared to the initial tender budget, which was set at 599,878.64 euros.
The contract will have a duration of two years, with the possibility of extension for up to three, and the service is scheduled to begin on November 1st, once the contract is formalized.
This action will allow for the maintenance of the approximately 41,000 individual tree pits in the paved areas of Vitoria-Gasteiz. These spaces, located around the base of trees, are fundamental for their conservation and contribute to improving the environmental conditions of the streets.
The work will include the control of spontaneous vegetation, land leveling, improvement of covering materials, and inspection of tree pit protection elements, among other maintenance tasks.
“"The care of trees does not end with planting new specimens. It is also essential to maintain the trees we already have and the spaces where they grow in good condition. With this contract, we guarantee continuous work in all neighborhoods, improving both the conservation of the trees and the state of public space."
