A statement details that the investment will consist of the "... installation of lighting, video surveillance cameras, underground cables, monitoring rooms and infrastructure along 140 kilometers of the priority network in 24 municipalities."
According to the document, the tender for the project is scheduled to take place between November 2018 and March 2019, the final approval by the Legislative Assembly of the Public-Private Partnership will be in July 2019, and the start of the works will be in January from 2020.
Due to the effects of the pandemic, Salvadoran authorities decided to postpone until March the date for submitting bids for the tender for the lighting and video-surveillance of 143 kilometers of road sections, a contract to be executed through a Public-Private Partnership.
The Bukele administration plans to develop five infrastructure projects in El Salvador under the Public-Private Partnership model, which would require an investment of approximately $545 million.
The works of illumination of highways, the construction of a terminal of load and an administrative center, are some of the projects that the administration Bukele plans to tender and award in El Salvador, under the format of Public Private Partner.
In El Salvador, consultancy began to structure the project to install a lighting and video surveillance system on 140 kilometers of roads in four regions.
From the Fomilenio II statement:
FOMILENIO II and Deloitte Consulting S.L.U. signed the order to start the consultancy to structure the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) lighting and video surveillance project.
In the four years that the law of associations between the State and private companies in El Salvador has been in effect, not a single infrastructure project has been able to materialize using this business scheme.
Although there are at least seven infrastructure projects that were initially proposed as being those with the highest priority and ideals to be developed under the public-private partnership scheme and with funding from Fomilenio II, none of them has managed to materialize.
