The Contracting Authority wants to enter into framework agreement for the hire of lorries (hereafter called tipper trucks) with or without trailers, including drivers and hire of vehicles with crane, including drivers, beyond what can be covered by the Agency for Water and Sewerage Works' own capacity.

Assignments are to be executed in connection with repairs and upgrading of the the Agency for Water and Sewerage Works' pipe network etc.

The estimated scope of the framework agreement is 44 000 000 NOK excluding VAT.

The Water and Sewage Authority's need for hired:

— tipper trucks (three axles) with approximately 10 m³ capacity, will at all times be in the magnitude of 6 to 8 units.

The expected need per year is approximately:

— Number of hours, hours driving: 17 000;

— Number of hours, hour/km driving: 1 000;

— Number of kilometres, hour/km driving: 15 000.

Drivers must be flexible on tasks that are assigned. This can also involve work out of the car, for example, participate in incidental building and construction work as needed.

The expected distribution between driving and incidental building and construction work is respectively approximately 60/40 (percentage shares).

— Vehicles with cranes must have a deck length of approximately 6.5 metres, maximum load of approximately 7 tonnes and cranes which can lift a minimum of 6 tonnes on an 8-metre arm.

The expected need per year is approximately:

— Number of hours: 200;

— Other transport services.

VAV does not have large scope of other transport services, but want discount rates on the at any given time valid list price for other transport services that the tenderer at any given time can offer.

The scope is provided based on experience from the last 3 years. The Contracting Authority's need is expected to be at this level also in the future. The volume is, however, meant as information for tenderers and is not binding for the contracting authority. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to adjust the scope according to any changed needs.

VAV requires that the tenderer is familiar with the applicable regulations related to work on sewage systems (pipe network and installations) relevant to the execution of the service.
