languageID="NLD">Motivering looptijd (8 jaar levering + DaaS tot max. 16 jaar) - KB van 25 maart 2016 en KB van 15 april 2016

Volgens bovenvermelde KB's dienen de watermeters gedurende 8 tot 16 jaar operationeel te zijn, en bijgevolg dient ook de werking van de datameterketting over deze levensduur gegarandeerd te blijven:

De opdracht betreft koudwatermeters voor drinkwater die worden gebruikt voor metingen in het economisch verkeer. Deze meters zijn onderworpen aan herijk en technische controle. Het KB bepaalt bovendien uitdrukkelijk dat de herijkfrequentie afhangt van het permanent debiet (Q3): herijk om de 16 jaar voor meters met een permanent debiet (Q3) ≤ 16 m³/u en om de 8 jaar voor meters met een permanent debiet (Q3) &gt; 16 m³/u.

Om die reden wordt de totale looptijd van de raamovereenkomst in twee delen gestructureerd. 
(i) De levering van watermeters gebeurt via een raamovereenkomst met een looptijd van 8 jaar, conform de maximale looptijd die als uitgangspunt geldt voor raamovereenkomsten in de speciale sectoren. 

(ii) De DaaS‑dienstverlening, die onlosmakelijk verbonden is aan de geleverde watermeters, wordt standaard voorzien gedurende een basisperiode van 8 jaar vanaf de eerste installatie, en wordt vervolgens automatisch voortgezet tot maximaal 16 jaar na de laatste installatie uitsluitend voor de meters met permanent debiet (Q3) ≤ 16 m³/u.  
Deze afwijkende maximale contractduur is objectief noodzakelijk en proportioneel, omdat dit rechtstreeks aansluit bij de wettelijke herijkcyclus van 16 jaar voor dit segment.</cbc:Justification></cac:FrameworkAgreement><cac:ContractingSystem><cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode listName="dps-usage">none</cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode></cac:ContractingSystem><cac:ContractingSystem><cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode listName="framework-agreement">fa-wo-rc</cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode></cac:ContractingSystem></cac:TenderingProcess><cac:ProcurementProject><cbc:ID schemeName="InternalID">R-25-014A_1</cbc:ID><cbc:Name languageID="NLD">De Watergroep, Farys en Pidpa - Raamovereenkomst voor digitale watermeters inclusief datacommunicatie</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="NLD">De Watergroep, Farys en Pidpa - Raamovereenkomst voor digitale watermeters inclusief datacommunicatie</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cac:RequestedTenderTotal><ext:UBLExtensions><ext:UBLExtension><ext:ExtensionContent><efext:EformsExtension><efbc:FrameworkMaximumAmount currencyID="EUR">198619000.00</efbc:FrameworkMaximumAmount></efext:EformsExtension></ext:ExtensionContent></ext:UBLExtension></ext:UBLExtensions></cac:RequestedTenderTotal><cac:MainCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">72310000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:MainCommodityClassification><cac:AdditionalCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">72310000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:AdditionalCommodityClassification><cac:AdditionalCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">64200000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:AdditionalCommodityClassification><cac:RealizedLocation><cbc:Description languageID="NLD">Vlaams Gewest</cbc:Description><cac:Address><cbc:CountrySubentityCode listName="nuts">BE211</cbc:CountrySubentityCode><cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode listName="country">BEL</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country></cac:Address></cac:RealizedLocation><cac:RealizedLocation><cbc:Description languageID="NLD">Vlaams Gewest</cbc:Description><cac:Address><cbc:CountrySubentityCode listName="nuts">BE212</cbc:CountrySubentityCode><cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode listName="country">BEL</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country></cac:Address></cac:RealizedLocation><cac:RealizedLocation><cbc:Description languageID="NLD">Vlaams Gewest</cbc:Description><cac:Address><cbc:CountrySubentityCode listName="nuts">BE213</cbc:CountrySubentityCode><cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode listName="country">BEL</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country></cac:Address></cac:RealizedLocation><cac:PlannedPeriod><cbc:StartDate>2027-01-01+01:00</cbc:StartDate><cbc:StartTime>00:00:00+01:00</cbc:StartTime><cbc:EndDate>2051-12-31+01:00</cbc:EndDate><cbc:EndTime>00:00:00+01:00</cbc:EndTime></cac:PlannedPeriod><cac:ContractExtension><cbc:MaximumNumberNumeric>0</cbc:MaximumNumberNumeric></cac:ContractExtension></cac:ProcurementProject></cac:ProcurementProjectLot></ContractNotice>
