NEW AG is a municipal utility company with strong roots in the Lower Rhine region. NEW AG stands for partnership-based, regional and innovative energy and water supply and related services. In addition, the company is responsible for traffic and swimming pool operations in the city of Mönchengladbach.

The group includes several subsidiaries in Mönchengladbach, Erkelenz, Geilenkirchen, Viersen, Schwalmtal and Tönisvorst.

NEW AG is a subsidiary of Westenergie AG and NEW Kommunalholding GmbH, whose shareholders in turn are the cities of Mönchengladbach and Viersen, the development company of the city of Mönchengladbach GmbH and Kreiswerke Heinsberg GmbH.

NEW AG is now planning to convert Building 10 on its property "Voltastraße" in Mönchengladbach to accommodate parts of Department 32 of the City of Mönchengladbach.

The 5-storey administration building with storage rooms, workshop and underground car park was built in 1996. On the ground floor there is a large social area with changing rooms and showers for ladies and gentlemen. On the eastern flat roof there is a ventilation system that supplies the core area of the eastern wing of the building (combined office structure) with fresh air. There is a PV system on the hipped roof facing Alsstraße. The building is connected to the district heating network of the property at Voltastraße 2.

The building is currently still in use, but will be emptied before construction begins. For the new tenant, the city of Mönchengladbach, various adjustments are required. In addition to the Road Traffic Affairs Department, the Municipal Order and Service Service (KOS) division will also move into the converted areas. An open office space with an interior zone area is to be planned for the KOS.

For the vehicle registration and driving licence office, the main development concept provides for a central barrier-free entrance with waiting areas and reception desk. A distinction is made between a service area (customer service) and a back-office area (classic offices, customer contact only in exceptional cases).

In addition to the office use, a social area will be created for traffic politicians and traffic controllers. This should include a wide variety of functions, such as reworking, pause or exchange. Employees also have the opportunity to shower and change their clothes.

In general, network areas at transport hubs are to be developed in the building in order to promote communication and thus networking between the organizational units (reduction of "silo thinking") and also to enable space synergies/flexibilities through joint use.

The planning and dismantling of polluted buildings are carried out on site. The redesign of the outdoor area is also not part of the tender.

For the technical support of the planning phase as well as for the accompaniment of the construction phase, this tender is looking for an office for the object planning for the basic services of the work phases 1 to 9 as well as for certain special services.
