Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: Risavika has a central location to the North Sea. The harbour is an important supply base for the energy industry at sea, and is Vestlandet's largest goods harbour. There are also scheduled ferries to Denmark and Bergen from Risavika.
The activity is increasing, and there is a need for more quay capacity. A harbour development is now being considered in the south eastern area in Risavika. These will be quays that are available for everyone, and are not to be developed for specific customer needs.
The area will not be operated alone by a particular terminal company. It will be facilitated as a project quay for goods and supplies.
The assignment will show the concept for the development of a straight quay line with a ro-ro ramp at the southern end, with an option for extending in two to three stages. Two quay lines are therefore named; quay 25 and quay 26 with ro-ro, see illustration 1 below. The contracting authority envisages using a turnkey contract in accordance with NS 8407.
There are very challenging ground conditions in the area. There is a thick layer of mud/uncompacted matter, which is probably polluted, and the rock is at a great depth. The coastline where the quay development is intended is reclaimed land. The delimitation of this is the result of the most suitable area for securing the ground weighed up against the filling line that gave the most possible new land area. The filling front (demning bar) is founded on a channel of excavated mud and filling of blasted stone. The filling is mixed matter up to approx. contour line -2 metres, and blasted stone above this, and the demning bar is plastered with large stones.
Tenderers must have the financial ability to fulfil the contract. Applicants must, when submitting a tender, attach a credit rating not older than 6 months from Proff Forvalt credit information company, www.forvalt.no, or equivalent independent credit rating institution that provides the same information as required: The minimum grade that will be accepted is 'satisfactory' within two of the following criteria: Liquidity,
profitability, and solidity, and minimum B3 on the analysis Probability for Bankruptcy, cf. Proff Forvalt´s ranking.
experience: Tenderers must have documented experience and knowledge on exacting quay and harbour developments. When formulating the concept it is important to focus on and highlight cost-driving elements, see
the qualification requirement: Experience is required from projects/assignments of an equivalent nature and degree of difficulty. Applicants must submit reference projects with exacting ground conditions in stone fillings and soft clay (both for
executing contractors and geotechnical engineers). Equivalent means the delivery of the same service as this assignment. An overview of relevant work carried out in the last 10 years. The overview must state the time and location of the work, value, nature of the work, degree of difficulty, and the contact information for the contracting authority. In order to ensure sufficient competition, the contracting authority can stated that documentation for relevant deliveries or services that the tenderer carried out more than five years ago will be considered. Maximum 10 years ago. Tenderers must document their experience with equivalent assignments by attaching minimum two references. The Contracting Authorities shall be specified with contact information so that references can be obtained. Tenderers that are newly established and
cannot, thus, submit references, must substantiate that they have the prerequisites to fulfil the contract. The area in question has difficult ground conditions. Competence requirements:
Tenderers must have competence in wave power and erosion protection. Tenderers must be able to submit CVs. Tenderers that will be part of the project group must respond to all these points for their own personnel
with documented experience in developing complex quays/harbour projects with exacting ground conditions.
