To support the development of a new 800-1 000 MW offshore wind farm, Energinet seeks a Consultant to provide a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of the plan for Thor OWF, a number of surveys and technical reports on specific environmental and other themes. The surveys and technical reports are primarily meant as background reports for an expected later environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the actual project to be decided at a later stage by the future concession owner. Therefore, the surveys and technical reports must meet the expected detailing level for an EIA under the EU Directive implemented in Denmark. Hence, the technical reports should address potential impacts during construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the project, potential cumulative and transboundary impacts, proposals for measures to mitigate adverse impacts, analysis of data gaps and uncertainties of relevance for the assessments and proposals for monitoring programs, where relevant. The assessments should be based on project assumptions to be provided to the Consultant by the Client upon commencement of the assignment. For further details concerning the purchase, reference is made to the scope of services including enclosures.
If more than 5 applicants fulfill the minimum requirements, cf. Section III), the Contracting Authority will pre-qualify the 5 applicants who are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tendered assignment. Only these applicants will be invited to submit a tender. The selection of the applicants will be based on the submitted references. That is to which extend the reference(s) are assessed to be similar to the tendered assignment, cf. Section II.2.4), in terms of comparability and relevance. As a result, the number of references will not be the determining factor alone, but more importantly to which degree the specific forwarded references are comparable and relevant to the tendered assignment regarding solution and scope.
— the references cover relevant environmental/technical topics in relation to the tendered assignment such as impact assessments of an infrastructure project covering marine mammals, benthic flora and fauna, navigational safety (incl. HAZID workshop), and visibility assessment and visualisations,
— the references show a solid experience in environmental assessment of major offshore projects, including interaction with environmental authorities.
Please note that this is a negotiated procedure. With the exception of mandatory parts, the tender documents may as a result undergo changes as part of the negotiation process.
The applicant must confirm the economic ability in the ESPD part IV.B: ‘Economic and financial standing’ with information from the latest annual report regarding the following economic indicators:
If the applicant is relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities, cf. Section VI.3) ‘Additional information’. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure that the minimum level(s) of standards required are reached when the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or when the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium).
Concerning 2: equity ratio from the latest annual report must be at least 20 pct. If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify, if equity exceeds 6 000 000 DKK.
The applicant must include the up to 10 most comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past five (5) years as part of the application. The references must be stated in the ESPD part IV.C: ‘Technical and professional ability’. Undertaken in the past five (5) years implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 5 years backwards from the submission date for pre-qualification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, but if this is the case, the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the applicant, cf. Section II.2.9).
Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities concerning the above information may have a negative effect on the selection of candidates, cf. Section II.2.9). Please note the ‘description’ box can contain more text than is visible. I.e. it is possible to copy paste text into the box.
If the applicant is relying on the references of 1 or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the information for the ESPD part IV.C must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities.
The number of references should not surpass a maximum of the 10 most comparable and relevant references. If the applicant is relying on the capacity of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed 10 when combined. If more than 10 references are submitted, the Contracting Authority will only consider the 10 most recent references determined by date of final delivery (in this case not yet finished references will not be included).
