Technical requirements: The competition concerns planning, engineering design and construction of a new two-lane road and associated site parts for the stretch E6 Fjerdingen-Grøndalselv.
E6 Fjerdingen - Grøndalselv is a stretch of approx. 11 km on the E6 in Grong municipality. Parts of the stretch will be constructed under the contract ‘Fjerdingelvbrua [Fjerding River Bridge] and associated road’ which is announced in parallel.
The applicable zoning plan from 2018 is largely based on the current road alignment and adds the various improvement measures on large parts of the stretch. SVV wants a new review of regulated solutions where one looks closely at the possibilities of laying new road outside of the current road alignment. This will be the subject of the competitive dialogue that must be carried out before tender offers are delivered.
The turnkey contractor must be involved early in the development of the project. The objective is to utilise the combined expertise of the parties, and to achieve a better end product.
