L'Hospitalet approves the update of lighting reinforcement for 1.99 million

The City Council of l’Hospitalet de Llobregat has initially approved the update of the executive project for the reinforcement and lighting improvement works in the municipality’s public spaces, phase II, with a total contract budget of 1,991,841.57 euros including VAT. The decision is contained in an edict published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on November 11, 2026 (official reference CVE 202610165591), within file AJT/113325/2026. The work affects the entirety of the municipal public space and reaches the public process with the stated objective of improving the safety and efficiency of the lighting.

The approval is formalized by Resolution no. 14643/2026, of November 2, 2026, from the Deputy Mayor of the Urban Quality Area, issued using the powers attributed by delegation of the Local Governing Board, approved in the session of February 25, 2026. The matter had been assigned to this area by Mayoral Decree number 2813/2026, of February 27. The file is processed under procedure V210 Works Contracting and bears document number 1310807/2026; the edict appears digitally signed by the Deputy Mayor of the Urban Quality Area, David Gómez Luque, dated November 2, 2026.

A budget of nearly two million including VAT

The global figure of the contract is broken down into two concepts, according to the edict:

• 1,646,150.06 euros for the material execution budget.
• 345,691.51 euros corresponding to VAT.
• 1,991,841.57 euros total contract budget, VAT included.

This is an update of an existing executive project, corresponding to phase II of the reinforcement and lighting improvement works, and not a new project: the objective is the revision and updating of the technical document that must govern the execution of the works.

Public consultation and submission of allegations

The documentation comprising the project can be examined at the Management Support Section of the Directorate of Public Space Quality Services, of the City Council’s Urban Quality Area, during business hours. The deadline is 30 days starting from the day after the insertion of the edict in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona.

The process is framed within article 235.2.c) of Legislative Decree 2/2003, of April 28, which approves the Revised Text of the Municipal and Local Regime Law of Catalonia. Likewise, the consultation can be made at the municipal electronic office, at the address www.l-h.cat, in accordance with article 37.2 of Decree 179/1995, of June 13, which approves the Regulation of Works, Activities and Services of local entities.

During this period, natural or legal persons who consider themselves affected may submit claims and supporting documents regarding any aspect of the project. The initial approval is, therefore, the preliminary step that opens the door to the final processing of the procurement file.

Impact

The news has double relevance for the citizenry: on one hand, it sets the planned public expenditure at nearly two million euros for a service that directly impacts road safety and the quality of public space; on the other, it opens a 30-day period during which any affected resident or entity can examine the project and submit allegations before the update becomes final.
