The purpose of this contract is to acquire a "growing room" module which will be installed outdoors and associated regulatory elements.

The desired module will be installed outdoors, on a platform that has a location equipped with a concrete slab with a total area of 100 m 2 approximately, capable of supporting a load of four tonnes.

The technical and functional specifications of the desired "culture chamber" module are specified in the Special technical specifications (CCTP): CCTP Culture chamber module.

The technical performances requested for the acquisition of the "culture chamber" module and the associated regulatory elements are as follows:

- temperature regulation range: here we want to install a module for regulating positive temperatures, from 10ºC to 40ºC. We have fifteen climatic chambers on our platform (Ecolab) which are sized for stress on ecosystems with very precise regulations on different parameters. This Module is not intended to be at the same level, but will allow cultivation of different terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems of larger volume, in larger quantity, but also to conduct experiments where the temperature regulations are less demanding;

- precision on temperature regulation: the temperature in each cell must be controlled over a range of 10ºC to 40ºC with an accuracy of: ± 1ºC. The applied temperature variations (kinetics) may vary by 2ºC per hour. The temperatures in the cells will be set to absolute values and not relative to the outside temperature, within the limits of the climatic conditions of the site, that is to say: minimum -7ºC, maximum 39ºC;

- artificial lighting: each culture cell will be equipped with artificial lighting (not included in the service).

The technical and functional specifications of the desired “culture chamber” module are specified in the Special technical specifications (CCTP) CCTP Culture chamber module.

The “optional additional services” (PSE) requested under this contract and optional are as follows:

- possible additional service no. 1: air humidity regulation for each growing area;

- possible additional service no. 2: supervision system for the entire module: control PC;

- possible additional service no. 3: development tools associated with the PLC and supervision programs.

The “Possible additional services” (PSE) are described in the CCTP Culture chamber module.
