Technical requirements: The contracting authority is the Agency for Urban Environment. The Agency is the municipality’s professional body for, amongst other things, roads, road traffic and public transport on roads. The contracting authority is responsible for the municipal roads network, including the standardised county roads network. As the road administrator, the contracting authority is responsible for follow-up the requirements for measures against noise and air pollution from roads. Cf. the Pollution Control Act. The contracting authority is also responsible for long-term public transport planning, traffic and street plans, traffic safety measures and plans for practicable public transport traffic measures. An important part of this administrative responsibility is related to the procurement of services for the operation and maintenance of the road network in order to ensure good conditions for all road users. The aim of the procurement is to enter into a service contract for the renewal of the asphalt cover on roads, streets, pavements, and foot and cycle paths in order to take care of the infrastructure and previous investments, and to improve the standard of the road network.
The procurement will cover the need for maintenance and asphalt resurfacing on the road network in Oslo that is managed by the contracting authority. The contract work includes resurfacing roads, streets, pavements, foot and cycle paths and selected car parks, as well as all necessary preliminary works related to this. A proposal is available in annex 5 of the roads that are to be resurfaced in the contract period. There will be annual changes to the proposed roads. An updated overview of proposed roads for the coming season will be sent before Christmas each year.
Laying red asphalt in cycle lanes/cycle boxes will be part of the contract work. The estimated amounts of red asphalt for 2022 are given in annex 5 Roads Proposal.
The contracting authority has a high focus on the implementation of cycle initiatives, which will be visible in the priorities in the order assignments are to be completed.
At the time of this notice, the budget for resurfacing the road network is approx. NOK 65 million for 2022.
The budget is approved by Oslo city council each year and it will vary from year to year. It can also be changed during the year. There can also be internal budget changes during the year, which can affect the annual scope both positively and negatively. The contracting authority will keep the tenderer informed of any changes.
This contract is not exclusive and the contracting authority reserves the right to enter into other contracts for execution of works if deemed suitable. See the tender documentation and all annexes for further information.
Work that is postponed due to, for example, weather conditions in the autumn, can be carried out in the following spring if agreed. In such cases the deadline for execution will be by 15.06.
Contest 55- BYM-2021 Asphalt resurfacing in Oslo must unfortunately be cancelled. Bymiljøetaten [the Agency of Urban Development] has received an order from the Department of Environment and Transport to cancel the contest for an asphalt contract. The order entails that changes that must be made in the environmental requirements in the contest are considered to be significant. Therefore there is an obligation to cancel the contest, cf. the procurement regulation § 25-4. We anticipate that a new contest for asphalt resurfacing in Oslo will be announced during the first half of 2022.
