Guadalcanal delegates to its mayor the bidding process for the repair of ten roads

The Guadalcanal City Council has delegated to the mayor, Regina Rivero Blanco, all decisions that, as the contracting body, correspond to the Plenary in the processing of the tender and the formalization of the works contract to repair the municipality’s roads damaged by adverse weather events. The agreement was adopted in an extraordinary session on November 3, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Seville No. 220, dated November 13, 2026, with the official reference BOP-SE-2026-220007 and file number 2026/CTT_01/000151.

The object of the contract is the “repair, restitution and/or reconstruction of municipal-owned infrastructure damaged by adverse weather events,” an action funded by grants from the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory. The announcement does not detail the tender amount or the execution period, details that must be specified in the specifications and in the call processed by the already delegated contracting body.

A delegation with accountability to the Plenary

The Plenary agreement was adopted as the third item on the agenda, under the heading of approval of the delegation of powers regarding contracting in favor of the mayor’s office. The delegating text is explicit: the mayor will assume “the adoption of decisions in all acts that, as the Contracting Body, correspond to the Plenary” during the tender and the formalization of the contract.

The authorization is supported by two specific regulations:

• Article 9.3 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector.
• Article 51.2 of Royal Decree 2568/1986, of November 28, which approves the Regulation of Organization, Operation and Legal Regime of Local Entities.

The agreement incorporates a control obligation: the mayor must report to the Plenary on the decisions adopted at its next meeting, so that the municipal corporation maintains oversight of a procurement process that it would have processed under ordinary conditions.

The ten roads included in the work

The action covers the repair of ten roads within the municipal district of Guadalcanal, according to the literal enumeration of the announcement:

• Pedro Otero y Atalaya
• Florida
• Zarza Alta
• Viñuelas
• Cuesta la Horca
• Las Eras
• Puente Sevilla
• Alperchineras
• Repetidor
• Guaditoca

These are municipally-owned roads whose pavement and structure were damaged by adverse weather events; hence, the contract is formulated as a work of repair, restitution, or reconstruction and not as an improvement or new infrastructure. The chosen formula determines the nature of the financing, which is linked to state aid from the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory and not to ordinary resources from the investment chapter.

Budgetary context and effects of the announcement

The delegation arrives during a period of intense budgetary activity in the Guadalcanal City Council. On October 7, 2026, the Plenary approved the General Account for the 2025 fiscal year and a transfer of credits between expenditure areas, file 2026/TCD_01/000003, which became final without objections according to the announcement published in BOP No. 215, dated November 6, 2026 (BOP-SE-2026-215015). Previously, in September, the corporation had allocated extraordinary credits and credit supplements charged to the liquid treasury surplus, in files processed separately and unrelated to the roads contract.

The delegation announcement is electronically signed by the mayor herself on November 11, 2026, with the secure verification code IV7744AOLEM5ZT44VREG6QTWK4, and occupies page 28 of that day’s provincial bulletin. With this publication, the Guadalcanal City Council clears the way to call for tenders without the need to reconvene the Plenary for every procedural act, which shortens the administrative deadlines for a contract destined to mobilize public works throughout the municipal district.

For the residents of the hamlets and farmsteads served by these roads, the announcement marks the administrative start of a long-awaited intervention: the repair of access roads linking agricultural holdings, scattered dwellings, and rural centers with the urban center of Guadalcanal. The actual schedule of the works will now depend on the call for tenders, the award, and the availability of the committed state aid.
