The island corporation will allocate a base budget of 101,855.38 euros for the project's design, technical direction, safety and health coordination, and works supervision. The estimated budget for the execution of the lighthouse's restoration works amounts to 757,655.90 euros.
Companies and professionals interested in submitting proposals have until July 3rd to do so electronically, adhering to the conditions set forth in the tender documents. All detailed information regarding this tender is available on the island institution's contractor profile.
According to the President of the Fuerteventura Island Council, Lola García, this action is part of a broader strategy to enhance the island's museum network. The objective is to conserve and restore the Faro del Tostón, a historically significant building, and to refurbish its facilities to include an exhibition area, a café, an outdoor terrace, and a viewing tower, making it more appealing to visitors and local residents.
The area's counselor, Rayco León, emphasized that the project aims to preserve the island's heritage, recover unique cultural spaces, and facilitate their enjoyment. This initiative follows the termination of a previously processed works contract, necessitating the development of a new project to assess the building's current condition and ensure a complete and safe restoration.
The planned interventions include the restoration of facades and stone elements, repair of the viewing tower and the old lantern, recovery of woodwork, flooring, and coverings, as well as waterproofing of roofs and renovation of electrical, plumbing, sanitation, and fire protection systems. Measures for universal accessibility, energy efficiency, and improvement of the photovoltaic system will also be incorporated, ensuring the integration of construction solutions into the landscape and compliance with the environmental conditions of the area and the Starlight Reserve.
