Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy

Description

Bærum Municipality, Asker Municipality, Drammen Municipality, and Lier Municipality, hereafter called the contracting authority, invite tenderers to an open tender contest for contracts for a framework agreement for modelling services within sewage, surface water and surface. The participating municipalities intend to sign a contract with 1 tenderer basically for assignments related to sewage and surface water modelling. Other assignments can also be included, e.g., surface modelling of surface water/flood paths. The contracting authority will enter into a contract with 1 tenderer for a framework agreement that will mainly include modelling services within sewage and surface water. The contract includes the hire of measuring equipment, (including placement, taking down, and operation during the hire period), processing measurements data, calibration of models, running calculations, and capacity assessments. In addition, a lot of emphasis will be put on the chosen tenderer being able to create an active modelling environment together with the four contracting authorities. Seminars and workshops will be arranged in cooperation with the tenderer, and training is an important part of the assignment. There is a need for assistance with the following assignments: — training employees, — establishment of models for new areas, — maintenance of models (updates for Gemini and new installations), — calibration of new areas, — running models after special events in order to uncover weaknesses/bottlenecks, — running models for annual reports to the County Governor, — running models for clearance plans (see the effect of various measures), — running models for major development projects in order to check capacity in the sewage network/surface water network, consequences for surface water drainage, flood routes, etc. The annual amount of assignments under the framework agreement is expected to be an average of approx. 500 consultancy hours. In addition, the expectation is that between 80 and 100 water flow, level, and/or overflow meters will need to be hired by the four municipalities. There will be annual workshops/seminars. The amount of assignments can vary from year to year, and the distribution amongst the contracting authorities can vary.
