Neighborhoods. Three sponsors willing to redevelop and manage 70 public toilets throughout the city
The proposals being examined by the Technical Commission: 15 million euro operation at zero cost for the Municipality
Milan, September 15 2021 – Three proposals, from as many private commercial operators, to redevelop and manage 70 toilets in strategic points of the city. This is the outcome of the notice published by the municipal administration before the summer with the aim of collecting sponsorship projects to provide urban spaces with this important public service.
Through this procedure, it is the Municipality's intention to ensure that the neighborhoods - not just the city center or points of tourist interest - are equipped with modern and usable services; thanks to the participation of the sponsor, the municipally owned systems will be redeveloped and maintained without economic costs for the Administration.
The proposals received from MediaOne Srl, ATI Vox Media and A&C Networks, Urban Vision SpA were opened today in a public session and will now be examined by the judging commission which will evaluate the project quality and economic sustainability.
The operators were asked to install 70 public toilets according to a map indicated by the Municipality: in 49 locations the toilets are already present and will have to be replaced, for the other 21 they will have to be installed from scratch. The services will be free for users, automated and managed remotely 24 hours a day.
The overall investment (for the installation, management and maintenance of the systems) is estimated at 15 million euros, compared to a management concession of 18 years. Furthermore, the sponsor will have 97 advertising systems at its disposal to be transformed from analogue to digital and economically valorised.
