Accident frequency rate (H1-verdi)
Tenderers and key contract helpers ought to have an average H1 for the last three years lower than 15.
If the H1-value is higher than 15, an account shall be given of the developing trend of the H1-value and possibly the F-value, which will
express the severity of any high H1-value.
If the tenderer is a working partnership (supplier consortium), the requirements apply for each of the participants.
The H1-value is defined as the number of work accidents with absence in relation to the hours work multiplied by 10 exalted in 6.

Documentation requirement:
1. Overview of the company ́s H1-value and central contractual partners in the last three years.
2. If the H1-value is higher than 15, an account shall be given of the developing trend of the H1-value and possibly the F-value, which will express the severity of any high H1-value. In addition a separate account shall then be provided as to whether there is
implemented improvement measures, and if so, also documentation on the effectiveness of these measures.
Lowest price
The procurement is for project C16644 foot and cycle path Gismarvik-Aksdal. The project consists of the construction of a 4.2 km foot and cycle path. In addition we shall carry out width expansion and curve correction of the existing road in order to have sufficient width to establish reinforced road marking and get a good line guide on the road.

The climate and environmental impact, which is possible to influence, in this procurement is mainly related to:
1. Transporting matter
2. Production and delivery of matter
3. Transport with light vehicles
In addition emissions from site machines constitute a climate load, but we consider that in such a long and narrow system without infrastructure for power access in the line, it is not feasible with electrical construction machines at this point.

The following climate and environmental requirements are therefore as minimum requirements in the contract:
1. Transport of matter: In each calendar month in the contract, at least 50% of all transport of matter in the project shall be emission free. This is to be measured/documented by reporting the number of driven metres with the different fuel types. The requirement applies to all forms of transport of matter, including the use of lorries, dump trucks, tractors and trailers etc. The requirement applies:
• Matter transported internally at the work site/construction site/site area.
• Matter from the work site/construction site/site area to a certified reception/place outside the work site/construction site/site area.
• Matter from external storage/matter outlet or similar to the work site/construction site/site area.
Emission free means this: Motor vehicles that have progress based on all-electric, hydrogen or biogas. Electrically driven vehicles and machines shall not be charged from the generator with an incineration engine unless explicitly stated in the contractual terms or stated in writing with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration in each case.
2. Delivery of matter: All asphalt that is milled or demolished shall be reused at the plant. The matter can be reused in a supporting layer on foot and cycle paths and in the production of new asphalt in the project.
3. Transport with light vehicles: At least 90% of all vehicles with light vehicles shall be emission-free in each calendar month in the contract. This is to be measured/documented by reporting the number of driven metres with the different fuel types. Light vehicles means in this provision: Passenger vehicle (M1/M1G) and light goods van (N1/N1G). Emission free means this: Motor vehicles that have progress based on all-electric, hydrogen or biogas. Larger vehicles shall not be used than what is necessary for the actual work assignment. Electric driven vehicles shall not be charged from the generator with internal burning engines, unless explicitly stated in the contractual terms or clarified in writing with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration in each case.
The way we assess the local supplier market, with a few exceptions, is somewhat immature as regards the transition to emission free construction sites. By setting minimum requirements in the contract, we are largely ensured good climate and environmental effect and we therefore consider the climate and environmental gains in this procurement to be better safeguarded through such a requirement position rather than the use of climate and environment as the award criteria. The requirements will stimulate more suppliers to start the transition to zero emissions, while safeguarding healthy competition and not unnecessarily excluding some suppliers.
The waiting period will be set after information on the award of contract.
