In September 1998, a technical and financial estimate (budget annex) was drawn up for infrastructure works in Planas del Rey (roads, networks, drinking water, green areas). The document presents the list of works, a cost table by item, and the calculation of taxes, with a consolidated grand total.
1) Nature and structure of the document
- Annex entitled « Llistat d’amidaments i pressupost » and « Quadre de preus ».
- Breakdown of items (installations / improvements) and summary of amounts.
- Calculation of taxes and VAT, with final totalization.
2) Main items and reference amounts
- Drinking water: 2 675 353 pts.
- Other intermediate items (extracts): 13 341 104 pts; 15 969 023 pts.
3) Taxes and grand total of the estimate
- 5% tax: 1 629 412 pts.
- 13% line (expenses/surcharges): 4 448 295 pts.
- 6% line: 2 053 059 pts.
- VAT 16%: 6 515 041 pts.
- Grand total: 47 234 044 pts (≈ 283 900 € at the fixed rate 1 € = 166.386 pts).
3 bis) Update in constant euros (2025)
To give a current order of magnitude, the total of 47 234 044 pts (≈ 283 900 € in 1998) is equivalent, after adjusting by average inflation (~2.2%/year), to about 510 900 € in 2025.
1 € = 166.386 pts, then 1998→2025 revaluation at average inflation (approx.). This estimate does not replace an updated technical costing.
4) Scope and context
This estimate shows that in 1998 the compliance works were planned and costed by the authorities (Consell Comarcal). It fits into the timeline of the regularisation of infrastructures of the urbanisation and sheds light on the budget assessment already available at the time.
5) Importance today
- Traceability: existence of an earlier official costing (>25 years).
- Decision support: basis for comparison with current costs and subsidies received since.
- Argument: shows that the bottleneck was not the lack of an estimate, but the non-execution of the works.
