Benxi spent 2.8 billion yuan on sanitation outsourcing, and snow accumulation on the streets became a difficult problem after the snow
In winter, the Mingshan District of Benxi City should be covered in silver, but the problem of snow on the streets has aroused the attention of citizens recently. According to CCTV, urban residents saw a notice on their mobile phones from the Mingshan District Snow Removal Headquarters, requiring units and businesses to clear the snow in front of their doors within 24 hours. However, the public found that the actual situation did not match the notice, raising questions about the 2.8 billion yuan of sanitation outsourcing costs.
Outsourcing raises questions:
China News Weekly noted that in August 2023, the sanitation operation in the main urban area of Benxi City was outsourced to "supply and marketing environmental technology" at a sky-high price of 2.8 billion yuan, and this contract includes a number of services such as snow removal and cleaning. However, citizens found that the streets became a sea of snow after the snow, raising questions about the quality of outsourced services.
The staff of the headquarters of supply and marketing environmental science and technology responded, "Benxi is a project subsidiary, and the contract (outsourcing) signed should start this year, and it was a formal bidding process at that time." She said that in addition to snow removal services, the contract also includes services such as cleaning public toilets.
**Response: Outsourcing services need to be run in in the early years:
A person in charge of the Propaganda Department of the Mingshan District Party Committee said in an interview with CCTV that the merchants have been responsible for snow removal in the area of responsibility in front of the door for many years, and the notice was issued to urge them to implement their responsibilities, and no punishment was imposed. However, the person in charge also admitted that there were cooperative relations and run-in problems in the early years of outsourcing sanitation services.
After the first snowfall, the city held a scheduling meeting, and the outsourcing company also made a statement and review. The person in charge said that after the second snow, the work of the outsourcing company gradually improved. Despite this, there are still doubts among citizens about outsourcing sanitation services.
