Maintenance of paving elements
The Municipality of Vlaardingen uses an open procurement procedure for the annual maintenance of paving elements. The contract is divided into two lots, whereby contractors must be able to perform periodic inspections, repairs, and replacements of paving elements. The works include removing damaged tiles, repairing joints, applying protective coatings, and ensuring safe, aesthetically pleasing paving. The tender requires compliance with local safety standards, the provision of quality reports, and the minimization of nuisance to traffic and residents. The municipality expects continuity in service provision, whereby contractors may manage a framework agreement over several years.
