Active work turned to Crystal. The beach is in the centre of the city, bathers sunbathing right on the waterfront. This year he was transferred to the new operator. The company that won the tender, recently began the reconstruction of the dismantled old stalls and rusted balustrade, workers install new sheds and fencing, the whole area, about 4000 square meters, lay out the paving stones.
– under the terms of the contract we had for this season to perform a partial improvement, but decided to do everything at once, so that visitors feel comfortable, – told “RG” the representative of the operator Alexander Denisenko. – Planned this year to invest in infrastructure for 16 million rubles and then to maintain it in working condition.
“Crystal” will be the first time the place where you will be bathing people with disabilities, and a children’s pool.
– Depth of water on the beach children should not be more than 1.2 meters, and here all along the waterfront – two meters, so I decided to make a pool with seawater circulation, continues Denisenko. – In addition, there is a big sandpit with slides and swings, playgrounds for sports and yoga. Also build exit for wheelchairs and the descent into the water for disabled people, provide them with 10 free sun beds with umbrellas.
the reconstruction project – new lighting, CCTV, free wifi and outlets in the same style. Just on the embankment will be 18 non-stationary trade objects (NTO): cafe, shops and souvenir shops. The surrender of their lease and rental of beach equipment – the main source of income for the operator, because access to the sea at the beach free. However, entrepreneurs have concerns that the return on investments this year will not work: the summer can pass without tourists.
Let’s hope for next season, says Denisenko.
City officials have not decided when they open beaches and under what conditions. Usually the swimming season in Sevastopol starts on the 1st of June. Acting Governor Michael Razvozhaev responded to entrepreneurs that will make the decision at the end of may. He also expressed concern that the beaches will attract tourists to the city and there is a risk of mass infection.
– Maybe for citizens, we will open the beaches, subject of course, but the tourists too early, he added.
the Beaches of Sevastopol in 2018 provide operators with 10 years in the competition. Operators offer their own versions of improvement and declare the amount of investment. Moreover, the projects must meet the criteria of comfort and sanitary requirements: required toilets, showers, regular cleaning and trash removal. Going on long-term contracts, the city began to require operators to meet obligations.
last season in Sevastopol there are 36 beaches. Autumn with three operators RAhave stongly contracts because of violation of conditions. This winter was held on the new competition to determine the operators of the beaches, “Crystal”, “Victory Park”, “Lyubimovka-2”. In addition, new operators have received Balaklava beaches “Silver”, “Gold” and “jade”.
On most of the beaches are quiet in the offseason, though usually in mid-may work in full swing. Only a few places entrepreneurs are renovating the stalls – hope to get at least a little work.
On the waterfront to Victory Park, a few coffee shops and eateries with food and drinks to take away. The sellers say: now people even less than it was in the winter.
the New operator beach recently hired a digger and flattened pebbles, washed by storms. Under the contract, he undertook to invest in the improvement of 15 million rubles. In the administration of the beach “RG” was told that preparations for the season are at your own risk: nobody knows what to expect. Even hire hard working: not everyone has a pass to get to work.
– we Will prepare for the bathing season, in any case, – said the employee of the beach. – We will do it for citizens that they like. We will repair, paint the fence, to settle additional locker rooms, sheds. Other work not yet planned, as this year on the embankment of the Victory Park redevelopment (part of the Federal target program of development of Crimea and Sevastopol). This adds to the uncertainty.
Entrepreneurs believe that to comply with the social distance to beaches is quite possible to make more tents, arrange the chairs on the longer distance. It is possible to monitor the observance of mask mode, if there is such a requirement.
the Department of municipal economy are unable to answer the question “RG”, would the operators of the beaches of the deferred payment and any privileges, if the bathing season will not take place.
