Technical requirements: The Agency for Urban Environment is responsible for the planning, development and operation of municipal urban spaces in Oslo. Hereunder, about 350 heavy traffic bridge structures and a number of reinforcement walls, and approx. 50 unregistered bridges in parks, public recreation areas and forest where the majority are minor timber structures.
The bridges are inspected annually by a control engineer from the Agency for Urban Environment, and every fifth year a main inspection is carried out. The inspections form the basis for a report where damage to the bridges is mapped and any need for maintenance measures is described. We will procure a Framework Agreement with one contractor. The framework agreement shall cover the need for periodical and emergency maintenance of the municipal bridges and retaining walls. The maintenance work can include i.a. concrete work, steel work/surface treatment, railings work, wearing course and joint works, construction and maintenance of walls, and the maintenance of surface water systems.
All bridges and the wall construction that are managed by BYM need both periodical and emergency maintenance. This is to maintain, and in many circumstances increase the safety for traffic, as well as maintain the aesthetic character these structures have in the urban landscape.
The bridges are inspected annually by a control engineer from the Agency for Urban Environment, and every fifth year a main inspection is carried out. The inspections form the basis for a report where damage to the bridges is mapped and any need for maintenance measures is described. Emergency maintenance needs will also occur so it will be difficult to pre-plan fixed measures, a framework agreement is therefore appropriate. We will procure a Framework Agreement with one contractor who can perform the maintenance work on bridge and wall structures.
The attached quantity description further describes the works that may be relevant with call-offs on the framework agreement.
As part of the contract work, the tenderer shall, in cooperation with the Contracting Authority, perform condition mapping of relevant structures and verify the maintenance measures before start up of the maintenance work.
The economic scope of call-offs on the framework agreement per year is estimated to be more than approx. 12 000 000 NOK excluding VAT. The estimate cannot be considered binding on the Contracting Authority.
A tender conference will be held Monday 11.12.2017, 9:30-11:00 at Karvesvingen 3. Tenderers are requested to submit any questions in advance so that the Contracting Authority has the opportunity to prepare the answers. Questions will be anonymous. The minutes from the tender conference will be made available without undue delay in KGV.
