Technical requirements: The contracting authority needs to enter into a framework agreement for a level measuring system for sanitation purposes, in addition to a service contract for the operation of a level measuring system in the sensor's lifetime. The winner of this contest will get both contracts, as they belong together, for each respective municipality. Most of the framework agreement's volume will be used at the start of the contract period.
The scope of the goods/service cost that is to be priced is in the price sheet. Attention is drawn to the fact that the licence/service cost will form the basis for the service contract, and that the size of the service contract will correspond with call-offs on the framework agreement and how many of these sensors are in operation at any one time.

A municipal merger is planned between Forsand and Sandnes kommune. On this basis, we anticipate an expansion of the contract scope, including that Forsand kommune shall have the opportunity to join the agreement after written notification to the service provider during the lifetime of the agreement. Price and contract terms shall be the same for Forsand municipality and Sandnes municipality, except where specifically stated in the contract that other terms shall apply to one of the parties.
