Schützenmatte Anlage, Bern Bollwerk, Redesign of Schützenmatte, Overall Project Management (GPL)

The subject of the tender is the award of a mandate for Overall Project Management (GPL) for the redesign of the Schützenmatte through SIA phases 31 to 53. On behalf of Tiefbau Stadt Bern, the GPL will assume operational leadership of the overall project and ensure the targeted implementation of project goals from planning to completion.   The task of the GPL includes, in particular, the integrated management of a complex, inner-city transformation process. The Schützenmatte is characterized by an exceptionally high functional, social, and political density. As a centrally located urban space, it simultaneously serves as a traffic hub, meeting point, cultural attraction, and social focal point.   The GPL ensures that the redesign takes place considering these complex framework conditions. This includes, in particular, the diverse usage demands, the high public and political attention, as well as the challenging integration into existing urban structures and processes.   Close coordination with third-party projects is also of central importance. In particular, there are significant dependencies with the "Zukunft Bahnhof Bern (ZBB)" project, which will occupy the area for several years and significantly influence the phasing of the redesign.   Interfaces with other third-party projects (including traffic regulations, parking, adjacent street spaces such as Hodlerstrasse, developments in the Eilgutareal area) must also be continuously coordinated. The GPL ensures that these dependencies are identified early, coordinated, and integrated into project management.   The GPL acts as a central hub between the client, administrative units, political bodies, security agencies, and external stakeholders. It ensures coherent project management and guarantees that the redesign is developed and implemented in a professionally sound, politically viable, and socially acceptable manner. The detailed tasks and services required of the GPL are explained in more detail in the service description (Appendix 01). The client estimates the scope of work to be 8,000 hours for the duration of the mandate.
