The City Council of Alicante has awarded a contract to the company Clece for the provision of funeral services, cleaning, and comprehensive maintenance of the municipal cemetery, amounting to €2,140,673. This decision was made during a meeting of the Local Government Board on Tuesday.
The contract is set for a duration of three years, with the option for two one-year extensions, potentially extending the agreement to a maximum of five years. Its primary objective is to ensure the proper handling of human remains and the optimal condition of the cemetery's public facilities.
The service is divided into three main areas: operational funeral activities, cleaning services, and the maintenance and conservation of the cemetery's infrastructure. The contract also distinguishes between routine maintenance and extraordinary maintenance, which will now be largely managed by Clece.
In addition to the basic services, Clece has proposed several enhancements, including the use of an electric hearse, reseeding work in the area of the common grave, and increased cleaning hours, among other improvements.
