CPV code: 79990000-0/ 71000000-8; Type and estimated scope of work: Project "Profiling and strengthening of the Middle Rhine hiking and cycling region" 1. Background: "Romantischer Rhein Tourismus GmbH" is responsible for the tourist region of the Middle Rhine Valley between Bingen and Remagen on the left bank and Rüdesheim and Unkel on the right bank. The core themes of the tourist region include "Nature and Activity". The potential analysis of tourist infrastructure defines the following projects: 1. Start/finish/stage portals Rheinsteig/RheinBurgenWeg and 2. Cycling loops for pleasure cyclists. RRT GmbH, as the coordinator of regional tourist infrastructure projects, would now like to take on these. The following steps are planned for further procedure in Project 1. Start/finish/stage portals Rheinsteig/RheinBurgenWeg: - Involvement, coordination and ongoing communication with the local partners to be involved, both regarding the overall concept and the site concept. - Development of a concept for the project idea presented in the potential analysis. This must take into account, among other things: site requirements, aesthetic requirements, size of installations, materials to be used, content elements, required land area, municipalities for the portal locations. The result should be summarized in a written concept with explanations of the background, objectives, procedure, and results. - Site determination including informing the relevant municipality about the plans for the portal sites in the respective area (ideally on public land for uncomplicated implementation), determination of the final sites in on-site appointments, coordination of the planned sites with the Lower Nature Conservation Authority (if necessary, with other specialist authorities to be involved). - Recording of the final sites in an overview map/cadastre. - Preparation of a cost estimate for a subsequent implementation phase, including construction supervision, construction acceptance, etc. The procedure described here is necessary to concretize the rough information in the potential analysis, to specify the type and scope of the overall project in advance of implementation steps, and thus to derive concrete implementation scenarios for the individual sites. The support of an external planning office is required for the structured and technically supported implementation of the above work steps. For the project Cycling loops for pleasure cyclists, the following next steps are planned: - Technical preparation of the local tourist service providers and other stakeholders to be involved, technical preparation of criteria for evaluating route suggestions, development of route suggestions, involvement of the regional cycling working group, coordination of initial route ideas, development/naming of route suggestions by the tourist service providers (max. 2 per municipality). - Digitization and evaluation of all route suggestions in GIS, initial on-site assessment of max. 100 km route length in the form of spot checks (approx. 20 working hours) to assess the suitability of the route suggestions for further processing. Evaluation of route suggestions based on maps, local knowledge, and the aforementioned spot checks using an evaluation matrix and cartography (recommendation of a prioritization), documentation and summary of the selection process including evaluation matrix and cartography. - Coordination and final selection of 10 routes to be traveled together with the local level - First inspection according to HBR, inspection of up to 10 routes with 40 to 80 km route length (average 60 km, approx. 600 km total route length to be traveled), creation of a clear first inspection documentation including photographic representation of defects, description and recommendation for remedy in an traffic light system, discussion of results and determination of the routes to be retained in the project. - Preparation of cost estimates per road authority for HBR signage and for construction measures. - Summarization of the results in a written concept with explanations of the background, objectives, and procedure. 7.
