The total price is calculated as the sum of all priced items in the quantity description, excluding VAT. The offered hourly rates will not be emphasised or assessed in the tender evaluation.
Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)
Award criterion number: 60
Criterion: 
Type: Quality
Description: Assignment comprehension: • When evaluated, the contracting authority will emphasise how the tenderer ́s systems take care of and solve the different challenges in the project. At the same time emphasis will be put on how the tenderer identifies and solves any further challenges that are not explicitly mentioned in the description.• When evaluating, the contracting authority will emphasise how the progress plan ensures proper progress as regards HSE and quality in the project. At the same time emphasis will be put on how the tenderer ́s manpower and capacity ensure effective management of the contract work, both for planned activities and unforeseen conditions.

Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)
Award criterion number: 40
Criterion: 
Type: Quality
Description: 5.2.3 Exceptions from weighting the environment The contracting authority has assessed the use of climate and environmental considerations in light of the utilities regulations §7-9 in this procurement. The main rule in accordance with §7-9 second paragraph is that climate and environmental considerations shall be weighted with a minimum of 30 percent in the award criteria. Pursuant to §7-9 fourth paragraph, however, the award criteria can be replaced with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specification, if it is clear that this gives a better climate and environmental effect, and this is justified in the procurement documents. The contracting authority has made a concrete assessment of the nature and execution of the relevant procurement, and it is assumed that the climate and environmental impact is mainly related to how the construction work and the accompanying transport are actually carried out, including the use of machines and vehicles. Furthermore, it is considered that binding minimum requirements in the requirement specifications provide a more predictable and safe reduction of emissions than the use of award criteria alone, as the requirements apply during the entire contract, independent of the tender evaluation. Oslo municipality ́s standard climate and environmental requirements for building and construction procurements have form the basis for the contract. In accordance with these requirements, there are minimum requirements regarding emission free execution of the construction work, including that all work at the building and construction site shall be carried out emission free. The following applies to the last transport stretch/cargo mile for mass transport and other transport: • Tenderers are obliged to use vehicles that are either emission free or biogas based in the execution of the contract. All relevant environmental performance is therefore regulated as an absolute minimum requirement, which safeguards climate and environmental considerations in the best possible way. The contracting authority will therefore not evaluate the climate/environment criteria.
