The Consular General Assembly this Friday authorized the tender for 85,651,851.27 euros (including VAT) for the construction of the new Alicante City of Justice. Estimates are that the building will be operational through 2025.
This project is included in the Ministry of Justice, Interior and Public Administration Judicial Infrastructure Plan, which includes, among other initiatives, the construction of nine new judicial buildings and the comprehensive rehabilitation of five others.
The building will be located on the other side of Aguilera Avenue in the Alicante capital, in front of the existing Benalúa courts. It will have a total of 48,000 square meters, including the ground floor, semi-basement, two basements and seven floors, plus a rooftop with photovoltaic installations that will ensure that most of the energy it consumes is solar-sourced.
In addition to photovoltaic panels, the headquarters will have smart systems to control energy consumption and air conditioning. It will also be fully accessible to people with functional diversity.
The new building will combine most of the jurisdictions of the Alicante jurisdiction, which are now spread over ten different venues.
Thus, there will be Civil Judiciary, Criminal and Prosecution. It will also house the Mediation Center, Legal Guidance Services, Forensic Medicine Institute, Comprehensive Forensic Evaluation Units, psychosocial cabinets, the Gender-Based Violence Complaints Expert Office and the Crime Victims Assistance Office. As well as Gesell cameras. The offices of the Legal Guidance Service, a meeting room and the Dean’s Office will also be located here.
Contested-Administrative and Social Courts will be held at the headquarters on Pardo Gimeno Street.
Work is expected to take a maximum of 33 months and begin next September. The cost of the project will be covered by Generalitat’s budgets for 2022 (€2.4 million) and 2023 (18.8), 2024 (38.1) and 2025 (26.3).
Tender principles will be published on the State Contract Platform within two weeks at the latest after the approval of the Consular General Assembly. Interested companies will then have 30 days to submit their bids, so that the contract is expected to be signed by the end of July and work to begin in mid-September next.
