| FCC won street cleaning contract in San Sebastián  The city government of San Sebastián, Spain, has awarded FCC an 8-year contract to provide street cleaning services in the city. The contract is worth a total of 86 million euro. FCC won the contract in competition with two other large Spanish companies, as its bid received the highest score from the city's technical experts, whose decision was ratified by the governing council. The contract will require an estimated 5 million euro in investment. FCC will also develop a computer application to enable the city government to have direct, up-to-date information about any incidents and about the progress of the street-cleaning services.Instead of mains water, the company will use recycled water or groundwater. For this purpose, FCC will install six tanks at various points around the city to refill the street washing vehicles. There will be an urgent cleaning service available round the clock using a cutting-edge cleaning vehicle designed by FCC's own machinery department. In parallel, FCC will take charge of removing municipal solid waste and providing cleaning services on the beaches of La Concha, Ondarreta, Zurriola and the island of Santa Clara, and of removing flotsam and jetsam from the adjacent waters. With this contract, FCC now handles street cleaning in the three big cities of the Basque Country-Bilbao, San Sebastián and Vitoria-and in 75 towns in the Basque Country. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
