Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — More than 10 parks in Playa del Carmen will undergo major renovations under the municipal Parquemania program, and bidding processes to award the contracts are already underway, officials said.
Edgar Zapata, deputy secretary of Public Works, said the parks require extensive infrastructure work rather than routine maintenance, which is why they were assigned to his department.
Major Works Require Formal Bidding
Zapata said officials cannot yet give a definitive count of the parks that will fall under Public Works, though he confirmed the number will exceed 10. The final distribution will depend on the type and scale of the work each site needs.
He explained that the bidding processes apply specifically to parks where minor maintenance is not enough and a broader overhaul of infrastructure is required. Those projects are therefore routed to the Public Works department.
Once the bidding procedures are complete, officials will be able to name the companies awarded the contracts and move forward with the renovations. In parallel, other municipal agencies will take charge of additional parks, meaning the total number of sites included in Parquemania will be higher than the count assigned directly to Public Works.
