Where there's smoke there is fire, the saying goes, and it becomes habitual exceptional lift at least makes doubts about the implementation of works contracts by the municipality of Cieza.

And, in view of his councilor, José Eduardo Illueca, "does not seem very normal liquidations works happen in many of the contracts undertaken by the City Council, provided for the contractor and always near the legal limit 10 percent of the original contract price which, if passed, would require to draft an amendment to the project. "

In this case it is the construction of the Center for Folklore, "work that won more than three years ago and for which full implementation the company has applied for 6 overs, when he had offered and so it was scored on the scale a significant reduction in the execution time. "

IU-Greens Cieza and warned at the time that the award had been made with a low of 40 100 on the bid price, "a very juicy offer and apparently advantageous for municipal coffers, which allowed the company to access the contract but is distorted when a cost which approximates 70,000 euros "at the end.

The problem is not that settlements are practiced, the realization of which falls within the contractual logic and are prescribed by law.

But as Illueca explains, the problem is posed by the potential use of twisted legal clause that allows the number of units actually executed without modifying the project, measurement differences and provided that the amount does not exceed 10 100 starting price: "It is easy to understand that measurement differences are random and can result in both an excess and a decrease in work units and, in case of excess it can occur in any proportion, when so often the settlement appears set to 10 100 does not seem to be somewhat random, but there is a custom to reply to this legal limit when making the financial offer with the expectation of recovering by way of final settlement. "

According Illueca, "not only harms the public purse so obvious, but the rights of bona fide bidders adjust their economic reality of the specifications deals are injured, and particularly harms the transparency of processes procurement and execution of contracts. "

This practice, in the eco-socialist councilor opinion, "should be banished and settlements work fulfilled his pape: adjust the planned end of the project a reality, not an extra cost to ensure the company close to 10 100 to enable it to recover excessive low bid. "

The only way to do this is to strengthen the mechanisms of control over the execution of contracts "and not mechanically accept any settlement proposal presented, to advance this line as proposed in a recent plenary our willingness to reach agreements with other local groups and, of course, this will be a priority line in procurement if we have responsibilities of government. "

This time it rains it pours, as "the House recently approved with the votes of the PP exclusive, the final settlement of the Capitol Theatre for an amount exceeding one hundred thousand million euros, in addition to the above additional costs for project modifications and suppression of free upgrades, a situation that is repeated, although to a lesser extent, with the School of Folklore, which eventually cost 109,000 euros on the price initially hired once the modified project and the final settlement of added work.
