City council approves the construction of the daycare centre in Altendorf by the City of Chemnitz
Provision of unscheduled funds totalling EUR 4.9 million approved
At its meeting today, the City Council approved the City of Chemnitz's plan to build the planned daycare centre in Altendorf itself. To this end, the city council cancelled the original resolutions on the creation and operation of the daycare centre (from 2016) and on the heritable building right to the land on which the facility is to be built (from 2017).
The daycare centre will be built with 119 places based on the existing plans of Heim gGmbH. The planning will be taken over, and Heim gGmbH will be reimbursed for planning and development costs already financed. The construction and operation of the facility was originally awarded to Heim gGmbH by the city council in March 2016. However, the company informed the city council in December 2017 that the construction project could not be realised for the company for economic reasons.
The costs for the construction of the daycare centre amount to around €4.9 million. The costs are to be covered by additional revenue from key investment allocations. Heim gGmbH's original cost forecast of EUR 2.9 million will be exceeded due to further planning, an increase in capacity from 100 to 119 places, initial tender results and the current construction price trend, among other things.
Due to the urgency of the measure - the urgent need for a daycare centre in the district - a separate construction decision was not made.
The daycare centre will be operated by Heim gGmbH, as the company already operates an interim daycare centre nearby. Children and parents are therefore already familiar with the childcare staff and the operator concept has been well received.
