Technical requirements: Oslo kommune v/Bymiljøetaten (Oslo Municipality c/o the Agency for Urban Environment) considers it necessary to implement a prior information notice for continuation of the existing contract for operation and maintenance of the backend road lighting system in Oslo Municipality. To ensure sound operation in a transitional period it will be necessary to enter into a new contract as a temporary solution during the next 2 years (with the possibility for extension), while the Agency for Urban Environment plans for long-term work with the transition to new technology.
For efficient and safe operation of the city's 60 000 road lighting points there is a need for a new control system. This is important both to ensure proper lighting for a safe and secure environment for the city's residents, but also to avoid unnecessary energy use and facilitate planning and follow-up of maintenance. Over the last ten years there have been significant investments in modernisation of the road lighting, and to avoid a large replacement of hardware there is now a need for upgrades that make it possible to continue operation for a longer period. For the current road lighting frontend and backend system is maintained through a service contract that expires in autumn 2021. For backend road lighting there is only one supplier of the existing system who has competence to operate this system, as this is a system they have intellectual property rights to. For further sound operation and maintenance it will be necessary to enter into a new contract as a temporary solution for operation during the next two years (with the opportunity for extension), while the Agency for Urban Environments plans for long-term work with the transition to new technology. There will probably be a need to make some minor adaptations in the backend system during the coming years.
The Agency for Urban Environment Bymiljøetaten emphasises in the requirement specification for the procurement of a new top system that this must be flexible towards the existing backend, and to new solutions/technologies in the future. The Agency for Urban Environment wants to hold dialogue with the supplier market in the further modernisation of street and road lighting control and in the use of future technologies.
