The document in question details a series of tenders underway in the municipality of São Leopoldo, covering a variety of projects, acquisitions and services. Tenders are organized by modalities such as Price Taking, Electronic Auction, Public Competition, Public Call, among others.
The projects range from the renovation of sports facilities, the acquisition of medicines, the construction of road infrastructure, and the hiring of specialized services. Each entry in the document lists the type of bid, the notice number, a brief description of the object of the bid, important dates (such as the notice publication and opening date), the current stage of the process and the estimated value.
Here are some highlights from the document:
– Renovation of the Sports Gymnasium at the Workers’ Recreation Park: A price assessment for hiring a legal entity for the renovation, with an estimated value of R$333,090.56.
– Future Acquisition of Baskets for Tuberculosis Patients: Electronic Auction with an estimated value of R$67,200.00.
– Future Acquisition of Non-Awarded Medicines: Another Electronic Auction aimed at the future acquisition of medicines, with an estimated value of R$ 1,308,004.58.
– Construction of an Event Track in a Public Location: Pricing for the construction of an event track, with an estimated value of R$ 379,981.91.
– Hiring a Specialized Engineering Company to Execute Road Infrastructure Work: Public Tender with an estimated value of R$ 10,000,000.00.
– Acquisition of Cleaning Materials: Electronic Auction with an estimated value of R$ 5,790,345.00.
– Hiring of a Legal Entity Specialized in the Supply and Installation of Air Conditioning Equipment: Electronic Auction with an estimated value of R$ 12,799,275.20.
– Future Acquisition of Controlled Medicines: Electronic Auction with an estimated value of R$ 3,472,490.55.
Adding the estimated values of the contracts mentioned above, in addition to others listed in the document, the total covered by the tenders underway in the municipality of São Leopoldo is significant and, if concluded, can immediately reflect the wide spectrum of projects and services planned to improve infrastructure , health, education, and other important sectors of the city that lack investment.
Estimated Total of Bids: When adding the estimated values of the contracts mentioned (and considering the others listed in the document), we arrive at an approximate total of R$ 34,152,535.35. Even a small amount considering that the 2023 budget reached almost R$1.2 billion.
The Leopolden community therefore has a valuable opportunity to monitor the execution of these tenders, especially in projects that directly impact daily life, as is the case with investments in air conditioning units in municipal schools. The transparency of this information allows parents to check whether, in fact, the equipment has been installed in their children’s classrooms and whether it is suitable for their needs.
This type of action on the part of citizens, in addition to being healthy, is extremely beneficial for municipal management. Through feedback from citizens, it is possible to check whether investments are adequate, sufficient or insufficient, and whether the brands acquired offer good quality and energy efficiency. This direct interaction between public administration and citizens promotes more transparent and responsive management, adjusting to the real needs of the community.
Only in this way can we guarantee that transparency and citizen participation are fundamental pillars in the construction of a fairer and more prosperous São Leopoldo for everyone.
