Technical requirements: Project management with an underlying consultant team for a partnering contract - New Åsnes Primary School for Åsnes Municipality
The contracting authority, Åsnes Municipality, would like tenders for project management for the construction of the New Åsnes Primary School. The assignment primarily consists of delivering capacity and competence for builder advisory services in accordance with the contracting authority's needs.
So far a feasibility study has been carried out, called 'Draft Project for Political Discussion', which the municipal council has decided to continue with. The draft project gives clear guidelines on the more general requirements that must be set for the contractor market. This has now been further concretised and the tender documentation for the contractor market has been prepared and uploaded to Mercell.
The project will be carried out with partnering as the execution model, further described as a project development phase/partnering phase (phase 1), with an option for transition to a turnkey contract in the execution phase (phase 2).
In order to take care of the project in the best possible way, Åsnes Municipality would like support in executing:
*assistance with tender evaluations of received tenders, negotiations/clarifications with prequalified contractors and subsequent preparation/completion of the contract basis with the chosen contractor in line with the mentioned tender documentation.
*broad builder support and process guidance for the execution of the two mentioned phases in line with the mentioned tender documentation. For a general description of the scope, see part 1A Partnering Contract, point 6 - Organisation, roles, and responsibility of the roles and functions that the contracting authority would like to fill. The tender documentation part 1A - Partnering Contract, part 2 annex 1 - General Description, part 2 annex 3 - General Milestones and Schedule, and part 2 annex 4 - Description of the Execution Model provide further details on the scope. These documents are attached.
