Award criteria: price, quality

Technical requirements: The contract work includes the execution of TS measures and minor maintenance measures. The contract is a one year framework agreement with a mutual option for +1+1+1 year. (estimated total value including options, total 4 years, NOK 180 million including VAT)
The contracting authority will choose tenders on the basis of the lowest price.
According to PPR § 7-9 (4), criteria in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 can be replaced by requirements where this clearly improves climate and environmental effect. For this procurement we would like to use the exclusion provisions in PPR § 7-9 (4).
 The framework agreement will be valid for at first one year and thereafter a possible mutual option for 1+1+1 year. The turnover for the framework agreement is approx. Total including option years. The individual call-offs will vary in size, measures and geographical location. 
At the time of announcement we do not have an overview of the extent of the measures and what resources will be available. 
At the time of announcement we are not aware of the nature and extent of the climate and environmental impact on the different work that will be carried out and the influence can also vary from call-off to call-off. The exact place for carrying out all of the work is also not known at the time of announcement. The project is therefore deemed to be unlikely that tenderers will have the possibility to make their own plans and measures for safeguarding the climate and the environment when submitting the tender. The climate/environmental gains will thus be seen as small if the environment is used as the award criteria in this procurement. 
The project estimates that the climate and environmental effect of the procurement will be better taken care of by setting climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications and contract terms for this procurement.
Although we are not aware of the nature and extent of the climate and environmental impact in the different call-offs, it is considered that the largest climate footprints and environmental impacts of the procurement are, in total, connected to mass handling, transport and production. 
Mass handling, transport and production
In this framework agreement it is therefore set up to use as much of the masses as possible that are available on site in order to minimise the transport and production of outside matter. The contractor is required to reuse what can be reused and deliver plans for all masses in the project. For example, it is set up to use rock that is blasted out internally in the project instead of driving to crushed rock from outside to blasted stone and reinforcement strokes at broad expansions, and as far as possible excavation masses (uncompacted matter) and blasted rock/stone will be used to fill in and slaughter slopes in the surrounding area. The engineering design services shall have a strong focus on mass balance in order to reduce transport and reuse of the current road, for example through widening instead of building a new road through unspoilt nature. In addition to taking such climate/environmental considerations into consideration when engineering designing and preparing the requirement specifications, we have also set climate/environmental requirements in the actual contract provisions. 
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has the following requirements in the contract:
Vehicles and machines
• Minimum requirements for vehicles, machines and site implementation. 90% of personnel vehicles and goods vans with a total weight under 3.5 tons that are used in the contract work shall be emission free. C4 6.3
• Rock protection; At least 50% of the equipment shall be zero emission free. C4 6.3
• Traffic deviation; The guiding vehicles that are used shall be 100% emission free. C4 6.3 Documentation: List of relevant vehicles under 3.5 tonnes that are expected to be used. C4 6.3
Mass disposal and re-use
• The contractor shall reuse matter as far as they are used for the purpose. C4 11
