The work to prepare the Cono Sur facility in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has been declared deserted after no bids were submitted. The parking lot, located next to the Blas Cabrera Felipe promenade, has been built for three years and has not yet been able to open, pending the installation of a transformer station to supply it with electricity. The facility has a capacity for 300 spaces, six of them for people with reduced mobility.

The works, with a tender budget of 14,047.27 euros and a execution period of one month, are complementary to the transformer station works being carried out by Endesa. Sources from the Mobility department, headed by José Eduardo Ramírez, have indicated that Sagulpa has re-tendered these works, which is a minor contract, and they expect to award them this week.

These works are necessary to prevent rainwater from accumulating around the transformer station. According to the tender documents, the construction of electrical connections will affect existing storm drains. It is planned to redirect the drainage to a nearby flowerbed for the water to filter through.

The transformer station will also complicate the evacuation of rainwater. It will be necessary to remove earth from the flowerbed, refill it with gravel and topsoil, complete the pending railings, and install underground low-voltage ducting, complementary to the Endesa station.

The original works to build this parking lot, on plots next to Martín Freire, were awarded in October 2021 for 782,913 euros. After finding waste on the site, the budget was increased by 109,719 euros, and a second award of 388,872 euros was made to install photovoltaic panels. The works were completed in 2023, but the facility has remained closed since then, with accumulated trash and dried-out landscaping. The project, complementary to the Metroguagua station in Hoya de la Plata, has been awaiting bureaucratic procedures for Endesa's transformer station, whose works began a few weeks ago.
