The renovation and expansion of the day care center “Feldmäuse” in the Kriebstein district of Grünlichtenberg can be started. The municipality plans to invest a good sum of €1.1 million in the expansion and modernization of the facility. The local council voted in a special session on Monday to award the contracts.

The commission was relieved to receive at least one bid for each of the nine deals that were put forward and which passed scrutiny by the architecture office. By the time of the meeting, the councils were eager to see if a time frame of less than a year would suffice for the project. Any delay in the construction process could destabilize the plan. As Mayor Maria Ochler (Liberal Voters) has made clear, construction must be completed by June 30, 2022, otherwise all grants may be withdrawn. Kripstein has to raise approximately 134,000 euros. More than that is not possible for the small town either.

Given the authorities’ requirements, the construction project aims to provide additional space for children’s beds, staff room and toilets, among other things. In addition, the facility’s capacity will be increased from 36 to 42. According to Euchler, there is a shortage of nurseries in particular.

Counselors and the community head judge the difference in roofing and roofing work as stark. The planners had counted less than 44,000 euros. Only one bid was submitted out of six companies contacted by the community. The company charges about 70 thousand euros.

The fact that the majority of councils nevertheless voted in favor of the award is mainly due to Matthias Weig’s warning from the building authority. He said the delay could cause difficulties for other traders who have adapted to the rapid construction process. It is important that work continues to close the roof in a timely manner. In total, the boards decided on the orders of nine companies.

The biggest component is the major construction work, which costs just under €390,000 a good quarter more than planned. Work on joining the glass panels and carpentry work will be more expensive than expected. On the other hand, the councils were able to contract out window and door installation, sun protection, heating, plumbing, electricians, tiling, paint and flooring work at a lower cost than planned.

Mayor Maria Joschler said the total amount of applications going to businesses from the region and Chemnitz was just under 880,000 euros. In addition, there is the interior, which should cost a maximum of 50,000 euros.
