A Joint Venture Company takes over Red Cross in monitoring Dénia beaches

Salvamar UTE (Unión Temporal de Empresas) has been the winning company that will be in charge of the beach surveillance service in Dénia for the next two years. This UTE, made up of Eulen and Aunar Group 2009 SL, prevailed with 82 points over the other three offers that were submitted to the City Council's public tender. His proposal lowers the initial bid figure by more than 100.000 euros, leaving it at 1,3 million euros.

The proposal of Salvamar UTE includes the start of surveillance on all beaches since the 1 in June, increasing the number of troops in the months of July and August, from 10 to 20 hours. In addition, from the end of the season, the 15 of September, until the 15 of October, as well as in Holy Week, surveillance service will be offered on weekends.

The company will launch a website from which they will report daily on the state of the sea and the flags that fly on each beach in the municipality, as well as a telephone number to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility. Salvamar UTE also proposes a drone, surveillance cameras on the Raset beach and a non-polluting vehicle to carry out the surveillance service.

With this concession, approved by the Local Government Board, for the first time in years the Red Cross will not be in charge of the surveillance of Dénia's beaches.
