In addition, the concessionaire must make a significant initial investment in the premises due to its current deterioration and the necessary actions for the accessibility of the toilets. Given this circumstance, a one-year grace period is proposed.
Regarding the proposed duration of the concession, this is 10 non-extendable years, time in which it is estimated that the concessionaire will be able to fully amortize the initial investment.
The specifications also provide for the revision of the canon when the interannual CPI exceeds 2% according to the annual variation in prices. It is proposed that the presentation of an economic-financial feasibility plan be required. The existence of a document of this type, the technicians point out, has been key to reporting the occasional claims related to the economic and financial imbalance of the concession.
