Technical requirements: The bridge work on Langhus bridge is a part of the project for the construction of a new foot and cycle path between Vevelstadveien and Smedrudsveien and it is announced as a separate sub contract. Langhus bridge goes over the railway so that the work must, amongst other things, be carried out in accordance with the restrictions from the Norwegian National Railway Authority.
The bridge shall be expanded by approx. 1.0 m on one side in order to make room for a separate foot and cycle path. The edge beams shall be renovated, the railings shall be replaced and there shall be new protection over the railway and new lighting. The divide between the county road and the foot and cycle path is to be a concrete railing.
Guarantees shall be furnished by a bank, insurance company or other financial institutions, approved by the builder. Accepted security includes the guarantee amount placed in escrow for the benefit of the builder. Interest accrues to the contractor.
For working partnerships, security shall be provided on behalf of the working partnership, not the individual participating companies.
The contractor shall provide the builder with documentation of the collateral security before the start of work and not later than 28 days after the contract is signed.
If the tenderer is a working partnership (supplier consortium), a declaration of joint and several liability to the builder and third-parties must be enclosed with the tender.
A report shall be given for the business form and the composition of the working partnership, including the participants' organisation numbers [Business Register Numbers].
Tenderers must make sure to substantiate how the competence requirements shall be met by the participants. Furthermore, each individual participating company in the working partnership must provide information on their company, as is required in the tender documentation. Working partnerships will be assessed collectively for all eligibility requirements, except HSE and own equity. Each participant will be individually evaluated for HSE and equity.
The contractor's own employees who are included in the overview lists, cf. point 27.2, shall carry out at least 25 % of the hours worked in the contract work, when calculated as a whole in the execution period. If the contractor is a working partnership (supplier group), the requirement of 25 % of the hours worked will be calculated in total for the participants.
Tenderers shall have a system and routines that ensure that the HSE work is operated in a systematic manner in accordance with the internal control regulations.
Information about systems and routines shall be enclosed with the tender. Cf. chapter E2, point. 4.2.1.
Tenderers are required to have positive equity. If the tenderer is a working partnership (supplier consortium), the requirements apply for each of the participants.
Documentation of any significant changes to the tenderer's equity and solvency compared to the last accounts audit must accompany the tender.
Where the tenderer is dependent on a sub contractor in order to be qualified, the tenderer must document for the contracting authority that the tenderer will have authority over the required resources. This can be documented by the tenderer presenting a mutual statement of liability, or equivalent.
The tenderer is required to show references to relevant contracts that they themselves have carried out in a satisfactory manner.
