Technical requirements: The Agency for Urban Environment section Street and Public Transport Projects has responsibility for the engineering design and follow-up during the construction period for projects connected to public transport planning.
Under this there are projects in the Combined Plan for upgrading of infrastructure (Combined Plan) connected with purchasing of new trams in Oslo and the project Powerful accessibility measures (KFT). There is a need for a project manager who works with the accessibility projects in the section.
KFT is a project that should significantly increase the travel speed for buses and trams in Oslo. The project is a collaboration between BYM and Ruter. To achieve the project's various goals, the measures must be suitable for implementation in the short term and should initially not include heavy infrastructure measures or measures that require studies/review.
Combined Plan: The work with preparation of a combined plan first started in 2012 and was an order from the city council department for Environment and Transport (MOS) to the Agency for Urban Environment. The purpose was to combine and coordinate Sporveien's planned upgrading of tram infrastructure and the Agency for Urban Environment's planned measures for other traffic in 1 and the same plan.
The combined plan has results in successful coordination between The Water and Sewage Authority, the Agency for Urban Environment and Sporveien. Several projects are in the engineering design phase and will soon be ready for implementation.
Sporveien has taken over the responsibility for the tram program that includes procurement of new trams, upgrading of infrastructure and base structure. This coordination responsibility for the implementation applies to the Combined Plan. This coordination responsibility does not effect ownership of each individual, independent infrastructure project, but the goal is even closer collaboration. Sporveien wants to continue the work in close collaboration with the Agency for Urban Environment, the Agency for Water and Sewerage Works, the Agency for Planning and Building Services, Ruter, Oslopakke 3- the secretariat and The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Eastern Region.
The Agency for Urban Environment is the Contractor for very complicated projects in the combined plan, the projects are: Storgata, Northern strand, Kongsveien, Thorvald Meyers gate (street) and Gresenveien/Storokrysset/Disen.
The Project Manager shall work a full time position and follow the same work schedule schemes as the regular BYM employees (37,5 hours a week). The project manager is expected to be in place as soon as possible after the contract is signed.
