there are Still people who have not decided and who has already said he is going to abandon the Bolhão Market from time to time, but the vast majority of vendors want to continue and should be carried forward to the market rehabilitated. The information was given, this Tuesday, in an extraordinary meeting of the executive of the Chamber of the Port, almost exclusively dedicated to the theme of restoration and modernization of the building, now that the public tender for the contract is about to be released.
Katie Meirinhos, of the municipal company GOP – Management of Public Works and one of the faces of the Office of the Bolhão Market, who was introduced to the vereação the most recent data on the process. According to the information that led to the public meeting, of the 91 market traders, 60 already conveyed to the cabinet that will carry over to the market rehabilitated, after passing by the market temporary that will be installed in the commercial centre La Vie. "There are 15 who dropped out, and 16 are still to decide, but of these we believe that the nine or ten will continue", said the responsible person, accounting for the continuity of the current sellers in a proportion similar to that of the "83%". Those who are not, he said, in response to the councilman of the CDU, Peter Carvalho, is because they "don’t have no family to whom to pass the stalls and because they have reached an age that does not allow them to continue."
The councillors and the public present – including the three directors of the Association Bubble of Water, which represents the part of the traders do Bolhão – heard it yet Cátia Meirinhos to say that the public tender that should be released in the next few days will be limited by pre-qualification. Competitors will be required technical and financial guarantees so that they can be admitted. Will be required, for example, that competitors have had in the last ten years, at least three works with the contract price equal to or greater than ten million euros. And have experience working in the restoration which, if not included in one of those three works, will have to be part of another work, with a minimum value of one million euros.
The base price of the tender for the contract from the Bolhão Market will be of 25 million euros and, after evaluation of the factors related to the technical and financial capacity, the criterion that will dictate the future winner will be the lowest price, explained Katie Meirinhos. The term for the contract will be 720 days (almost two years), but there will still be "two binding deadlines". From the self of the consignment of the work, the contractor will have 480 days to deliver all the jobs that you compete the exterior and interior of restoration. This term, set in approximately eight months before the completion of the work globally, it will allow those responsible for these spaces to do the individual works of adaptation that they see fit. In addition, four months before the completion of the works the contractor must also have placed all of the equipment of the interior, relating to the installation of stalls for the sale or business as fishmongers.
The vereação welcomed the information presented in the extraordinary meeting, but not without warnings. As Ricardo Almeida, PSD, lamented the that is said to have been "a lost opportunity to engage the city and get a consensus" in relation to the project, Pedro Carvalho, of the CDU, stressed that the most important thing at this stage is that the work is done "within time and without slippage costs" announcing a "vote of confidence" to the executive, in this matter.
The merchants present, all of the shops on the exterior of the Bolhão, were concerned with the transition period and have asked that they be fully clarified some issues, in particular, if you are going to have even to go out, to where, and if it is not even possible to do the work keeping them on the market. To this last question, the town Planning councillor, Manuel Correia Fernandes, responded with a "not possible" final, while the president Rui Moreira guarantee to tenants that the Office of the Bolhão Market is open to hear suggestions that these may have on the temporary installation of their shops in a different location of La Vie, provided that it is "feasible".Already the rules of the market temporary in the La Vie, said Katie Meirinhos, will be “the market and not the mall”.
