Bybanen Utbygging shall enter into a framework agreement with one — 1 — contractor who shall carry out minor work connected to traffic safety measures, improving existing solutions, supporting work for technical contractors and other work of a similar nature on the stretch between the centre of Bergen and Lagunen (Construction stages 1 and 2). In addition there will be an option to extend the framework agreement for 1 + 1 year for further and equivalent work on the entire stretch from the centre of Bergen to Flesland (including construction stage 3 Lagunen — Flesland). The stretch Lagunen — Flesland is expected to open summer/autumn 2016.
Examples of work that shall be carried out are the construction of minor concrete or natural stone walls, the assembly of fences and guide rails, minor asphalt work, landscape work, as well as minor water and sewage and drainage work. The complete extent of the work to be carried out cannot be clarified, only individual measures have been decided.
Continual call-offs will be required for each individual measure as and when these have been engineered and decided. Parts of the work will have to be carried out in the evenings or at night due to the light rail's regularity and possible disturbances.
The contract is estimated to have an annual value of NOK 2 000 000 excluding VAT. Emphasis is put on the fact that this estimate is not binding in any way and the call-offs that are made will be based on the actual need.
