Description
Auto-translated from GermanContracting Authority: Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG Note: service.bund.de is only the publication platform for tenders; the responsibility for the content and accuracy of the individual offers (and thus for the duration of the publication, its premature termination, for the specification of publication dates and offer deadlines) lies exclusively with the respective tendering organization. Therefore, please use exclusively the contact details of the tendering institution from the announcement if you: The subject of this procurement procedure is the commissioning of the electrification of the track system in Rüstersieler Groden with overhead contact line. At the end of 2022, the DB railway line Oldenburg – Wilhelmshaven was upgraded to double tracks and electrified. At the same time, the connecting track from Bf. Ölweiche (Str. 1554) to Jade-Weser-Port, as well as the holding yard in Jade-Weser-Port, were also electrified. As part of the "Electric Freight Railway (EGB)" expansion program, the track system of Rüstersieler Groden is also to be electrified. The connecting line (DB line 1552) from Bf. Ölweiche to the Rüstersieler Groden track system is currently being planned by DB E & C for electrification in a draft design. This would ensure continuous electric operation from the DB railway line Oldenburg - Wilhelmshaven to Rüstersieler Groden. The connection point DB/N-Ports is approximately 200m outside the actual track system. The entrance to the track system is separated by an electric track gate. On the railway side, there is a noise barrier consisting of double T-beams with horizontally arranged wooden planks in between. The N-Ports track system is approx. 1.3 km long and extends over six tracks with a total of twelve switches. The switches can be electrically controlled via a control panel in front of the track gate, and there are low-level switch signals. Track lighting is also available. The subject of this procurement procedure is the commissioning of the electrification of the track system in Rüstersieler Groden with overhead contact line. This procedure is carried out as a negotiated procedure with a call for competition in accordance with § 3 No. 3, § 3a Para. 3 VOB/A in conjunction with § 4 Para. 2 NWertVO. This is not a Europe-wide tender, as the EU threshold for the award of construction contracts is not reached. The negotiated procedure is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the call for competition, the contracting authority checks the suitability of the applicants with regard to the services covered by the procedure. In the second stage, the bidding phase, the contracting authority first requests a so-called first offer from the bidders selected in the call for competition, with which the negotiation phase is entered. The contracting authority reserves the right to waive negotiations and to award the contract based on the evaluation of the initial offers. The first offers are therefore binding.
