PSOE claims that lifeguards are three times more expensive than those in La Linea, which is the same company.

Manolo Garcia yesterday, the socialist spokesman at the Roquetas de Mar City Council demanded that the PP government team "urgently clarify" why the cost of the beach lifeguard service will exceed three times that of La Linea de la Concepcion, despite it being similar and provided by the same company.

As reported, it will cost 589.400 euros to cover 7 beaches, 16 kms, and 184.713 euros for 7 beaches, 14 kms, respectively.

The PSOE considers the differences in the company’s obligations to be "suspicious". While Roquetas will only need to provide a medicalized emergency ambulance, support events, and take care of maintenance and refueling costs, La Linea requires a warehouse to store vehicles and boats so they are not exposed, a negative criminal record or sex offender for lifeguards, and to hire a certified company to remove and dispose of biosanitary waste.

According to the PSOE, staff qualifications are much more stringent. The City Council of La Linea must have a certificate or certification of professionalism from lifeguards. They also need one more qualified nurse. However, Roquetas requires only four-hour courses. The different roles to be filled in La Linea are distinct. Drivers require a degree in health emergency technician, and boat skippers must have the appropriate qualifications. Roquetas has the same lifeguards who handle the boats.

Manolo Garcia acknowledged that there are more lifeguards in Roquetas during July and August. However, "this difference doesn't justify that the service is more expensive than three times," especially since it was available in La Linea at Easter. The service is offered at seven beaches, not three, and it is not dependent on the date>>.

This reminds me a lot of Cubofit's case, where we rockers spent more than twice what the University of Almeria paid to rent a three-month rental with a company," Manolo Garcia recalled. He said that "too many Roquetas City Council contract smells, and a lot when they are compared to the management done in other municipalities or institutions for the exact same services".
