Framework Agreement for Electrical Construction Works Across Urban Environment Agency Areas

The aim of the procurement is to enter into a Framework agreement for the purchase of construction work in connection with electrical works that can include the entire Urban Environment Agency ́s management area. The electrotechnical installation will be carried out in separate framework agreements/contracts.

The framework agreement gives the contracting authority the right to purchase goods or services covered by this framework agreement. The Contracting Authority is not obliged to procure any specific amount of goods or services in the framework agreement period, and the framework agreement is not exclusive.

The framework agreement will include construction work for electrotechnical installations within roads and streets, urban areas, park areas, walking paths, at sports facilities, recreation areas and other public and private areas). Typical electrotechnical installations are; traffic lights, electrical outlets for events, charging stations, lighting, vending machines and other electrical installations.

This involves excavation works, replacement of matter and filling in street foundations, ditches, parks as well as other public and private areas. This will typically be the establishment of conduits, cable channels and foundations for electrotechnical installations, for example the placement of prefabricated foundations or form work and casts for cast on site.

Furthermore, there shall also be re-establishment of roads, pavements and green areas in accordance with prevailing standards from Oslo municipality. In some cases the assignment can also include changes to the current geometry in order to adapt to a more modern and different use of the area.

Tenderers must also reckon on coordination with third parties (this can be, among other things, the network owner, other contractors and/or the contracting authority wishes to take in).

Call-offs will be carried out based on a description and overview of amounts in accordance with price posts, necessary maps and sketches, with reference to Oslo municipality ́s norms and templates. The scope is described in more detail in the requirement specification. A parallel framework agreement shall be signed with 2 tenderers.

Tenderers shall at all times have the capacity to carry out at least three simultaneous call-offs against the framework agreement. The estimated total need is NOK 100 million excluding VAT in the framework agreement over a four year period. The contracting authority draws attention to the fact that the estimate is based on previous consumption and the expected future need.

The need will depend on political guidelines and budget allocations in the period. The maximum value/turnover for the contract is NOK 125 million excluding VAT.
