San Miguelito Opens $1.2M Tender to Restore Brisas del Golf Park

What Happened

The Alcaldía de San Miguelito has opened a public tender for the project “Mejoramiento del Parque en Brisas del Golf,” located in the Rufina Alfaro corregimiento, with a reference price of $1.2 million. The announcement initiates the procurement process to rehabilitate and upgrade the public park in the Brisas del Golf neighborhood.

Project Details

According to the tender documents, the intervention will be comprehensive and includes complementary works and stormwater infrastructure. Planned facilities listed in the terms include a basketball court, a synthetic field, an administrative building, and a dedicated space for older adults, in addition to landscaping works.

Timeline and Procurement Steps

As part of the tender schedule, a site visit is planned for Thursday, March 26, with the meeting point at the park itself so interested companies can inspect the area of intervention. The homologation act is scheduled for April 6, and submission of proposals is set for April 23. The awarded contract will run for 425 calendar days, though authorities estimate the work should be completed within about one year.

Background

The park has required recovery after years of deterioration and improper use. Neighbors had reported that the space was being occupied by fondas and other informal activities, which diminished its role as a recreational and community area. The rehabilitation effort is part of municipal plans to improve urban infrastructure and to promote safer, more accessible public spaces.

What This Means

The municipality says the project aims to restore the park to its original purpose and to strengthen convivencia in one of the fastest-growing communities of the district. By including facilities for sports and older adults and addressing stormwater infrastructure and landscaping, the project targets multiple dimensions of public-use quality: safety, accessibility and recreational opportunity.

Authorities also indicated that interested parties can access the full tender documentation through official municipal channels. The public procurement timetable provides clear milestones for companies and community members to track progress from site inspection to contract award and eventual completion.
