Bø, Sauherad and Nome municipalities (the Contracting Authority) are in development, and need a Framework Agreement for architect and advisory services. The estimated need for architect and advisory services is around 2 500 000 NOK — 3 000 000 NOK per year. Emphasis is placed on the investment budgets at any given time depending on the annual grants and the total volume can vary during the contract period. The amount is therefore an approximation and is not binding. The majority of the assignment needing architect and advisory services are new construction, reconstruction, Water and Sewage and roads, etc. The projects can have different organisation, and contract forms.
The assignments include all necessary disciplines from preparation of feasibility studies, complete preliminary project with calculations, tender documentation for turnkey and execution contracts, detailed engineering design, applications/case papers, etc.
