Award criteria: price, quality

Technical requirements: New railings and road lights shall be established on the stretch Minnesund-Tangen. The contract includes disassembly of e.g. railings in corten steel, assembly of new railings and new road lights. There are strict requirements for work notifications on the stretch. The speed limit is 110 km/h with an ÅDT between approx. 15,500 at Minnesund and 14,800 at Tangen (2023).
The contracting authority will choose tenders on the basis of the best relationship between price/cost and quality, based on the following criteria; The contract will be awarded after the ranking of which tender has the lowest tender sum. The builder in this contract will take CO2eq emissions into consideration in addition to price. This will help reduce the climate and environmental consequences of production and delivery of railing material. Lowest tender sum: Competition sum; i.e. the sum used to determine who is awarded the contract is calculated by the tender price being given a mark-up based on the amount of CO2eq emissions for the modules A1-A4. The tenderer with the lowest combined CO2eq emission (GWP-total), for the types of railings listed under the documentation requirement, will not be mark-up in the tender sum. The difference in emissions between the tenderer ́s tender and the tender with the lowest emissions is calculated for the other tenderers. This difference is priced at NOK 5.00 per kg CO2eq. The impact will thus be the difference given in kg CO2eq multiplied by NOK 5.00 per kg of CO2eq. Example process number x: 30,000 lm railings Supplier A delivers an EPD that shows a discharge of 80 kg CO2eq/lm railings; i.e. emissions total 2,400,000 kg CO2eq. Tenderer A has the lowest emissions and will not receive any mark-up in the competition sum. Supplier B delivers an EPD showing a discharge of 85 kg CO2eq/lm railings; i.e. emissions total 2,550,000 kg CO2eq. The difference compared to the lowest emissions is (2,550,000 – 2,400,000) kg CO2eq and the estimate for supplier B will be 150,000 kg CO2eq * 5.00 NOK/kg CO2eq = 750,000 NOK EPD shall be delivered in accordance with NS-EN 15804+A2:2019. AN EPD shall be submitted for the processes listed below. The product in the DELIVERED EPD shall be in accordance with the requirements given in the processes in chapter D1. Railing type Prosess number Siderekkverk 75.23291 75.23292 Side railings, bridge 87.211 EPD shall include the modules A1-A4. The starting point for calculating A4 is that the railings shall be transported to Espa in Stange municipality. If the transport that forms the basis for A4 in the delivered EPD is not representative as regards, for example, the production place and/or the delivery place, the stated emission numbers in the EPD must be converted to the applicable transport distances. Alternatively, the transport calculator available at the lca.no can be used. Documentation of the calculation of A4, together with the production place for the railing, shall be submitted with the tender. The declared unit shall be a lengthmeter (lm). If the declared unit in the EPD is not given in lm, a conversion factor must be given.
The road lighting is designed as a unilateral mast lighting, with a focus on reuse of the existing infrastructure such as conduits and road light distributions (approx. 20 ignition cabinets). The existing LED lighting/domes in the middle parts are phased out. This shall be replaced with a new steel mast lighting in accordance with the requirements in table 3.1 in handbook V124. The engineering design services are carried out by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration ́s own project department/professional resource electro. Unilateral lighting saves on climate and the environment, see the separate set-up below. Subordinate to this, we also get a large economic savings. According to the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 (4), the award criterion in accordance with PPR § 7-9 (2) and (3) can be replaced with climate and environmental requirements if it is clear that this provides a better climate and environmental effect. Materials for street lights make up a large part of the procurement so that there is focus on quality, reuse and recycling where practical. The described steel mast types have documented recycled steel of 15-36%. This is positive for the project when each mast weighs up to 150 kg, where 545 were designed in this procurement, work hours for personnel are part of the resource effort, and transport of personnel will also produce some climate footprint. Personnel vehicles are mainly light vehicles under 3.5 tons. In the contract terms, at least 90% of all transport by light vehicles (up to 3.5 tonnes) shall occur with zero emission vehicles (electric or hydrogen vehicles). This is taken care of in chapter C2 point 34 Vehicle requirements. Petrol or diesel powered vehicles used in the contract work require emissions level. Such vehicles shall as a minimum fulfil the Euro VI/6 or Stage IV standards. This is taken care of in chapter C3 point 27.3 Outer environment. Most of the machines that shall set up railings are purpose built lorries where there are no EL versions on the market. They are remote controlled and are set up with a drilling/pile rigging, laying out rails and laying out gravel. Most of the machines that carry out the described work are also special machines, which are not found as ELECTRIC machines. Facilitating electricity for charging will also not have any effect on a contract like this, e.g. electric excavator. There will be relatively few walking hours with the excavator and there is little HSE justifiable and had to drive on and off with this for charging. El machines are therefore not required. Much of the expected climate/environmental benefit in this project is achieved by the requirement specifications in the contract and designed solution with unilateral road lighting for the electrical work. Although the expected climate/environmental gains in this project are achieved by the requirement specifications in the contract, in addition award criteria for railings, as this is in the template for railing contracts Handling waste will also be a part of the contract. There are requirements as to how waste shall be handled for recycling and recycling. This is taken care of in chapter C2 point 30.5 Waste Management. Tenderers are also required to be certified in accordance with ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Requirements. This contributes to the tenderer having a systematic approach to environmental management in connection with the execution of the contract work. Tenderers will, therefore, contribute to protecting the environment by preventing or curbing unfortunate environmental impact, upholding environmental obligations, improving the environmental performance, implementing environmental alternatives and communicating environmental information. In summary, the following requirements are made in the contract: • ISO 14001 - certification or equivalent, cf. C2 point 22.1 • Requirement for concrete in low-carbon class B or better (ref. requirements in N400), this shall be documented by a project specific EPD. • All machines and vehicles shall as a minimum have Euro 6 and step 4, cf. C4 point 6.3 • At least 90% of all transport with light vehicles (up to 3.5 tonnes) shall occur with zero emission vehicles (electric or hydrogen vehicles) The above requirements do not apply to the use of vehicles for transport to, from and between work places that are not paid separately. • Larger vehicles shall not be used than what is necessary for the actual work assignment. C2 point 34 • In all places where work is being carried out that can cause oil spills etc., collection absorption agents must be available, either in the vehicle/machine that carries out the work, or in the immediate vicinity of the work place, C2 30.9. By setting minimum requirements in the contract, it is largely ensured a climate and environmental effect and it is therefore considered that the climate and environmental gains in this procurement are better safeguarded through such a requirement position and award criteria for the railing part, rather than the use of climate and environment as the award criteria in it's entirety.
