Transparencia en la selección
El proceso de selección del aliado estratégico para la operación del alumbrado cerró el 25 de septiembre. El concejal Roberto Ortiz cuestionó cambios en las condiciones de la convocatoria y sostuvo que un eventual acta de saneamiento habría modificado requisitos técnicos sin alterar el cronograma, lo que abrió interrogantes sobre planeación y publicidad.
También Parfum questioned the requirement that the professional in technological development have experience in a municipality where more than 50 % of the luminarias are LED, a profile that could limit competition. Emcali said the technical and contractual details have been socialized with civic oversight groups and local controllers, and offered to hold additional in-person working sessions to review the documentation.
Una alianza, no una privatización
Emcali bgcolor the possibility of privatizing the service and asserted that the city will retain ownership of the infrastructure, as well as its integral administration and operational control. The strategy selected was an Alianza Estratégica, through which private capital and technical capacity would participate without transferring public ownership.
Según la empresa, un estudio técnico y financiero de Cerrito Capital descartó la administración directa, la concesión total y la contratación independiente de terceros. Emcali sostiene que esta modalidad permite asumir los riesgos de inversión sin generar endeudamiento distrital ni incrementos en las tarifas del impuesto de alumbrado público.
El contrato compromete recursos del impuesto de alumbrado durante un periodo prolongado, por lo que la transparencia en la elección del socio privado y en las condiciones de pago será determinante para el control ciudadano del proyecto.
