EBE 16 - 2023 Procurement of supplies - procurement of a fender system, 2nd notice

Description

Bergen Municipality is responsible for the management and development of Bergen Municipality's property assets, quayside facilities and undeveloped areas, including operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, development, letting and leasing. The purpose of the procurement is to enter into an agreement for the delivery of plate fenders for mooring and securing the quays at Bergen Municipality's properties. Lot 1: The procurement concerns the purchase of plate fenders for the quay Skolten Nord 1-2-3 (hereinafter called Skolten N) and Bontelabo 1 (hereinafter called Bontelabo). Plate fenders must be customised to both the structure of the quay and the distance from the quay front. Bontelabo is 105 metres long and will be equipped with 5 plate fenders. These fender plates must not be closer than 1.3 metres from the quayside. Skolten N is 330 metres long and will be equipped with approx. 15 plate fenders. These fender plates must not be closer than 1.5 metres from the quayside. The plate fenders must not exceed a maximum height of 2.5 m in total for both of the quays, i.e., only a small amount of the plate fenders is to be in the water. Skolten N is approx. 200 cm above zero sea level, and Bontelabo is approx. 185 cm above zero sea level. The contracting authority draws attention to the fact that there is a significant difference between the size of the ships that use Skolten N and Bontelabo, see Annex 4b - General Information on Skolten North and Bontelabo 1. Plate fenders must be custom fabricated to 1/10, and the fenders mounted on the quay front must be vertical. Fenders must not extend above the quay rail which is approx. 20cm above the quayside, due to challenges with cables. Annex 1b - Fender location Skolten Nord and Bontelabo, shows that there is a break in Skolten N approx. 105 metres in, so the fendering here must go in 2 different directions and not go over one. Skolten N is made of loose granite stone, which means that an anchoring/fixing device is required at the rear. This means that the plate fenders must be equipped with some form of fastening device over the quay edge, with a length of approx. 2 - 3 m. Bontelabo has the same quay structure and thus requires roughly the same form of fastening device. Tenderers must offer a fastening along the quay edge for the plate fenders. The contracting authority can accept that the final fastening can be adapted and clarified with the builder after the contract has been signed. The plate fenders and fastening system must be of good craftsmanship quality and suitable for use under Norwegian conditions. The fenders and fastening system must have sufficient rust protection to tolerate a maritime environment. Tenderers are free to assess the material that is used, but it is of great importance that the fenders with fastenings are as light as possible with a view to the strain of the contracting authority's old granite quays. Both Skolten N and Bontelabo are approx. 100 years old. An illustration of the proposed design solution is attached in Annex 1a - Illustration of the proposed system for the layout. This is only an example and tenderers are encouraged to provide proposals for systems that fulfil the contracting authority's requirements. Annex 1a also includes a picture of a facility (Jekteviken installation) as an example. The delivery time is of great importance for the contracting authority due to the dynamics in the Port of Bergen. Skolten N and Bontelabo have a lot of activity during the summer season, which normally lasts from April to September. This procurement only concerns the delivery of plate fenders with mounting systems. Bergen Municipality has technical competence and will use its own framework agreement supplier to install these plate fenders. Budgetary decisions, political guidelines, outsourcing or changes in the municipality's activities and organisation are subject to change.
