Expansion of gigabit network ZV high-speed network Rhine-Neckar in Lobbach

The client plans to set up an NGA network (FTTB) in the municipality of Lobbach. The aim is to open up the grey NGA spots in the municipal area in accordance with the Gigabit Guideline of federal funding in order to ensure the minimum bandwidths specified in the grant decision and the funding programme referred to therein. The expansion concept of the measure can be taken from the plant expansion concept.

The project is to be funded according to the guideline "Funding to support the gigabit expansion of telecommunications networks in the Federal Republic of Germany" (Gigabit Directive) and according to the "Administrative Regulation of the Ministry of the Interior for co-financing of the Federal Government Directive "Promotion to support the gigabit expansion of telecommunications networks in the Federal Republic of Germany" (VwV Gigabit co-financing)". The provisional funding decision of the federal government for the project is attached to the tender documents as an annex to the grant notification. The funding application for co-financing of the project by the state of Baden-Württemberg has been submitted to the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior, but a decision has not yet been issued.

Furthermore, the utility Syna GmbH has expressed interest in a co-installation in the area of the power grid in the district of Lobenfeld in the course of the project. The resulting synergies are to be exploited. As a result, the subnetwork in the district of Lobenfeld must be implemented as early as 2023 and thus before the subnetwork in the district of Waldwimmersbach. This requirement for the temporal implementation must be observed and implemented by the general contractor (see also section 13).

For this reason, the client has decided to improve broadband coverage in the underserved areas of the municipal area in 2023 and 2024. For this purpose, starting from connection points to the upstream infrastructure of the network operator or to the backbone network of the special-purpose association, supply infrastructures to the supply areas as well as inner-city distribution networks in the currently underserved areas are produced on the basis of FTTB technology. This newly created passive NGA network (FTTB) will be provided to a private-sector network operator for the use and production of the active network level and the supply of high-bit-rate broadband connections for a fee. The network operation of the newly created passive NGA network (FTTB) has already been awarded to NetCom BW GmbH, Ellwangen, as the operator as part of a Europe-wide tender.

The client has decided to tender the production of this new passive NGA network (FTTB) as a general contractor service. The general contractor should provide both the necessary planning and the necessary construction work for the “operational” and functional production of the new passive NGA network (FTTB) to be created, along with house connection and co-relocation management.

The planning and construction services required for this are the subject of the tender. The new passive NGA network (FTTB) to be established with this tender comprises the following lengths and building connection points (GAP) in the grey NGA spots:

Lobbach:

- approx. 15.8 km as a new building to the private property line

- approx. 7.9 km fibre optic feed into existing pipe systems (path metres)

- approx. 831 building connection points (GAP) in grey NGA spots

- approx. 2 technical locations (PoP container/MFG)

- ca. 29 Unterverteilungen (RVt)

The client has already had a comprehensive FTTB structural planning as well as an FTTB route planning drawn up in the course of the funding application procedure, which, however, ldgl. can be made available in some areas in electronic data formats (shape data) as a basis for his further planning. This data will be made available to the General Contractor upon presentation of a confidentiality agreement signed by the candidates/tenderers in the next stage of the procedure.

In addition, the client's inventory documents/planning documents do not comply with the requirements of the funding body with regard to the federal government's fibre, material and reserve concept to be implemented as well as the applicable GIS ancillary provisions. The planning status must therefore be further developed into approval planning with regard to the federal government's fibre, material and reserve concept and made available in accordance with the applicable GIS ancillary provisions.
