Romania – Urban development construction work – Framework agreement - Regeneration, modernization (rehabilitation) and maintenance of urban areas

Opportunity description

The subject matter of the procurement consists of signing a Framework Agreement, with a duration of 48 months from the date the Framework Agreement enters into force, establishing the terms, conditions, and the legal, financial, technical and administrative framework for awarding Subsequent Contracts, with a view to ensuring that the Tenderers carry out, safely, promptly and cost-effectively, the works concerning the regeneration, modernization (rehabilitation) and maintenance of urban areas. As a general rule, the subsequent contracts to be concluded during the performance of the framework agreement will concern the execution of works implementing the urban regeneration context at the level of the administrative-territorial unit, Sector 4 of the Municipality of Bucharest. The duration of subsequent contracts concluded during the validity period of the framework agreement may exceed the duration of the framework agreement and extend until the complete completion of the activities constituting their subject matter, taking into account any forms of extension, the defect remediation period, etc. The estimated minimum and maximum quantities of works for the duration of the framework agreement and for a subsequent contract are in accordance with the Annex to the Specifications. Given that the procurement documentation contains a minimum set of specific information regarding estimates of the minimum and maximum quantities that could be requested over the entire duration of the framework agreement, as well as estimates of the minimum and maximum quantities that could be the subject of a single subsequent contract among those to be awarded during the framework agreement, we emphasize that these minimum and maximum quantities initially established by the contracting authority in the procurement documentation and subsequently in the framework agreement represent estimates of quantities that could be requested over the entire duration of the framework agreement and not the exact quantities that will be purchased, the latter being potentially lower than, equal to or higher than those estimated, depending on the actual needs of the contracting authority and taking into consideration the review clauses provided for in the procurement documentation. Estimated value of the largest subsequent contract: 801,557,288.79 lei Number of days before the deadline for submission of tenders by which clarifications may be requested: 18 days. Clarifications requested after this deadline will no longer be taken into consideration. The contracting authority will respond clearly and completely to all requests for clarification/additional information on the 11th day before the deadline established for the submission of tenders. The subsequent contracts will also be financed from other legally constituted financial sources. To finance the execution of the works relating to subsequent contracts concluded during the performance of the framework agreement, the contracting authority will access projects and/or programs financed from national and European Union funds (PNRR, POR, etc.), without this description being exhaustive. Subsequent contracts concluded under the Framework Agreement concern the execution of integrated urban regeneration projects. Urban regeneration is being addressed at EU level, being the subject of meetings and joint declarations at EU level (Toledo Declaration 2010) and of the EC (European Conference of Ministers Responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning-CEMAT 2007), and is the subject of EU funding and specific regulations at EU level. At EU level, the “New European Bauhaus” concept was implemented as part of the post-pandemic economic recovery plan. Purpose: for cities to become climate-neutral and offer a better quality of life, while S4 is constituted as part of this urban development project. The New European Bauhaus is a concept for exploring how we can live better after the pandemic. It is about combining sustainability with style to bring the EU Green Deal closer to people’s minds and homes. The purpose is to develop an innovative framework to support and accelerate the ecological transformation by combining sustainability with aesthetics, forming a bridge between the world of art and culture and the world of science and technology. The “New European Bauhaus” concerns the way we live together, our values, our shared spaces for work and recreation, and collective and private experiences. The projects whose execution is the purpose of the Framework Agreement focus on aspects ranging from natural construction materials and energy efficiency to demographic issues, future-oriented mobility and resource-efficient digital innovation combined with cultural and artistic aspects. 10 areas of interest are proposed for interventions such as the development of public spaces, development of outdoor recreation spaces, rehabilitation of pedestrian/road traffic areas, modernization of the yards of educational establishments, etc.: Z1 bounded by Oltenitei Road-Berceni Road-I.

The unit prices in this case will be established by reference to similar unit prices from the procedure, with the necessary adaptations. If there are no similar unit prices, the reasonableness of the price will be taken into account when calculating the modification, considering the nature of the new works, the level of quality, origin or other aspects affecting the price, to which a reasonable profit will be added.
