Technical requirements: Prequalification for a Contest for the Development of a Real Time Measuring System for Environmental Parameters Connected to Handling Matter
The contracting authority needs a new innovative real time measuring system so it can monitor the environmental effects connected to site activities and handling matter. The environmental effects that are most relevant in this project are emissions to water, air (dust and noise), and vibrations.
The needs were identified in a preliminary project that was carried out in 2018-2019 as a collaboration between Bærum Municipality, the development projects (BaneNOR, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Oslo Municipality's Agency for Water and Wastewater Services, and the Fornebu Railway), and private actors within matter management (Isachsen, AF, Skanska Industrial Solutions, Franzefoss, Topass and Haug), which have common challenges as regards measuring the environmental effects of handling matter. The starting point for this project is the theme matter management for many major infrastructure projects that will be implemented in Bærum and the surrounding area in the next 10 years (the Ringeriks Railway, alterations to the E16 and E18, the Fornebu Railway, water supply from Holsfjorden to Oslo, a new waterworks for Asker and Bærum, etc.). Extensive site work and large amounts of matter are expected to be transported, handled, temporarily stored and processed in these infrastructure projects. Handling matter and site activities can have negative environmental effects, which calls for good monitoring and follow-up of these environmental effects.
Environmental measurements have traditionally been based on manual work, sending samples to a laboratory, and reports from a consultant. This involves a time lag from when the samples are taken to when the results are available, which makes it difficult to implement quick measures for transgressions. It has, therefore, become increasingly more common to use sensors for these measurements in order to get quicker and more automated data. The challenge is that each supplier has its own measuring system that has only measured a limited number of measurement parameters. The systems have not usually been very compatible, nor flexible as regards connections to other types of sensors. This means that suppliers of water sensors have had their reporting system, and suppliers of noise measurements have had theirs, etc. This project has, therefore, identified a need to develop a new and general measuring system that gathers data from all the required sensors in a joint system, which is also flexible and can connect to a broad spectrum of sensors at a later date. Sensor here means sensors or similar measuring equipment that can measure the requested environmental parameters in real time, or approximately real time.
The contracting authority can procure all or parts of the developed service/system through the procurement option. A new contract will be signed on the option date if the developed service is procured. The scope of the procurement option and the contract terms for procurement are described in the Procurement Option and the Contract Terms for Procurement (annex 11).
— a certificate for tax and VAT issued by either the local tax office or the tax collection office where the tenderer's head office is located. The certificate can be obtained from Altinn.no,
— Norwegian tenderers who are not subject to VAT must provide confirmation of this from the tax authorities,
— foreign companies must verify that the company is registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the country where the tenderer is established.
Foreign companies: Proof that the company is registered in a trade or a Register of Business Enterprises as prescribed by the law of the country where the tenderer is established.
Tenderers are required to have an economic and financial standing that gives the contracting authority confidence that the tenderer will be financially viable throughout the entire contract period.
A creditworthiness of score A (creditworthy) is required to be eligible for participation in the contest.
Tenderers are required to have an economic and financial standing that gives the contracting authority confidence that the tenderer will be financially viable throughout the entire contract period.
A creditworthiness of score A (creditworthy) is required to be eligible for participation in the contest.
Extended credit rating/report, not older than 3 months, from a publicly certified credit appraisal company, which includes a credit rating of the tenderer - typically given by a letter/number or a short text, as well as an explanation thereof. The report must be based on the last known fiscal figures. The date must be clear.
Companies without adequate credit rating, newly started companies with a credit score of AN, individual foreign companies or companies without reporting obligation to the Brønnøysund Register Centre will not always be able to document that the requirement is met. In such instances, they will be able to compensate with a satisfactory credit rating which provides an equivalent security for implementation ability. These alternative documents must be included with the tender.

Eligibility requirements: Requirement 1 – Tax certificates The tenderer shall have settled conditions in relation to payment of tax and VAT. Documentation Requirement Tax and VAT certificates — a certificate for tax and VAT issued by either the local tax office or the tax collection office where the tenderer's head office is located. The certificate can be obtained from Altinn.no, — the certificate must not be older than 6 months from the tender deadline, — Norwegian tenderers who are not subject to VAT must provide confirmation of this from the tax authorities, — foreign companies must verify that the company is registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the country where the tenderer is established. Requiremet 2 - Registration in a company register Tenderers must be a legally established company in the country where the tenderer is established. Documentation Requirement Norwegian tenderers: Company Registration Certificate Foreign companies: Proof that the company is registered in a trade or a Register of Business Enterprises as prescribed by the law of the country where the tenderer is established.
