La contratación pública de obras municipales. Análisis de los proyectos de ejecución de cementerios.

Abstract

The public procurement of works from the local administration includes from new projects within the scope of building subsectro: administrative and educational buildings (schools, libraries) as within the scope of civil engineering subsector: housing developments, parks and gardens, sports infrastructure and/or bike lanes. Municipal public works also include the repair, rehabilitation and maintenance of municipal infrastructures such as lighting, air conditioning, roads and sidewalks, etc., which means a wide range of types of work. In a study carried out on public procurement in the Valencian Community during the years 2016 and 2017, it was found that, after road projects (including actions on public lighting), the projects most tendered by the local administration are extensions and improvements to cemeteries, which in most cases are municipally-owned. Given this importance, at least in terms of the number of projects identified, this communication is proposed in order to carry out an analysis of cemetery execution projects, identifying their main characteristics, typologies, construction processes, aspect of the tender, etc.
