The aim of the procurement is to cover the six collaborating municipalities' need for waste collection services for industrial waste.

The procurement is for the site addresses listed in the annex for each municipality, with the changes that can occur in the contract period. The contract will be valid from 01.01.2023.

All the types of waste that are listed in the contracting authority's description and annex on options will be included in the contract. There can be some changes in the contract period to collection addresses based on the activities in the individual municipalities. If during the contract period there is a need for waste collection services related to other waste fractions than those in the description and annex, they will be included in the price sheet at a later date.

The list above is not considered exhaustive in as far as the measures can relate to the contract content and purpose.

Expanded description:

Combustible residual waste

The service covers the hire of containers, their placement, collection, and transport of waste from prior defined collection locations to a facility for final treatment, as well as emptying. Allowances must be made for some of the waste being incorrectly sorted.

It is a prerequisite that the service is carried out based on the scheduled plan that includes frequencies for emptying per week, per 14 days, and per 4 weeks. The attached 'emptying calendar' includes an overview of collection locations, relevant container volumes, and collection frequencies.

The annex is a guideline, but not exhaustive, to the current situation.

Changes will come as a result of the contracting authority's need for capacity and as regards the use of the collection locations.

The service also includes maintenance, replacements, placement and collection of containers, both at the start-up and end of the service, but also for ongoing changes that arise during the contract period.

The service must be seen as complete, in the sense that everything that can reasonably be included in the provision of the service must be included in the offered unit prices.

Final treatment of combustible residual waste.

The service includes the final treatment of combustible residual waste, and includes all costs connected to the final treatment after the waste has been delivered to a facility that is certified for final treatment. This service is to be priced separately per kilo. A calculation factor or 0.11 is used in the relationship between container volume in litres and weight in kilograms. The sum of the placed container volume will form the basis (theoretical container volume), independent of the 'filling degree'. This means, for example, that a 120 litre placed container will be deemed to weight 13.2 kilo (120l*0.11=13.2kg).

The actual weight will not be used. NOTE: Exception: 10m3 Askøy Municipality and Bjørnafjorden Municipality as well as 30m3 containers in Askøy Municipality are to be calculated in relation to weight. The road slip from the final treatment facility must be included in the invoice basis.

Paperboard and paper

Same as the above point, but the containers are used for cardboard and paper.

Additionally, final treatment must also be included in the unit prices.

Plastic

The same as the above points, but 200-250 litre plastic sacks are used as 'containers'. Additionally, final treatment must also be included in the unit prices.

The annual scope of this service is unknown. It is assumed that collection will be made together with cardboard and paper.
