The road "Heddingheimer Strasse" in the northern part of Hattersheim is to be completely renovated over a length of approx. 330 m from the Goethestrasse intersection to the western end. As part of the comprehensive road renovation, the existing drainage channels and water pipes are to be adapted and replaced. In addition, the laying of a storage channel is to be technically checked and planned. The following circumstances must be taken into account in particular: For the future local heat supply, new pipes for the supply and return flow in the street cross-section must be planned. The specifications, for example regarding the dimensions, must be agreed with the engineering firms commissioned by the city to plan the local heat supply. West of Heddingheimer Strasse, two data centers are currently being planned by external engineering firms with a new road as a connection to Mainzer Landstrasse. The connection to the new street must be clarified and planned with the relevant engineering firms. A pedestrian signal system must also be planned at the Goethestrasse intersection. The estimated eligible construction costs are expected to be €2,800,000, divided into the following categories: Road and sidewalk renewal: €1,400,000 Sewer renewal: €800,000 Water pipe renewal: €600,000

Description: Contract notice – Sector Directive, standard regulation Negotiated procedure with prior publication of a call for competition/negotiated procedure (construction work) New construction Uw Deponiestrasse Project description Substation Deponiestrasse SW Netz intends to build a new substation in the Deponiestrasse area in Wiesbaden. The property has a total size of 2,648 m2. Connection to the substation The 110 kV connection/looping of the Uw is via an overhead line approx. 300 m away. The underpass to two high-voltage systems is created on the mast, which are then relocated to the Uw. The municipal utilities are also responsible for the 20 kV connection. UW building The UW building consists of a total of five floors, each with approximately 680 m2. The Ug, Eg and 1st floor will be occupied by the electrical equipment of the substation (see list below), whereas a data center will be set up on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The 110 and 20 kV cables will be introduced into the building in the basement. The 20 kV cables will be led directly to the ground floor. This is where the 20 kV primary switchgear is located, which is dimensioned as an air-insulated double busbar system with a nominal current of 2,500 A and a short-circuit current of 25 Ka 3s. The 20 kV star-point switchgear will also be located on the ground floor. This is to be designed as an air-insulated single busbar system with a nominal current of 1,250 A and a short-circuit current of 20 Ka 1s. The 110 kV cables from the basement are led through two shafts into the 110 kV switchgear on the first floor. This is to be designed as a gas-insulated double busbar system with pure air as the insulation medium. It comprises 9 fields with the following division: transformer 1, feed-in network 1, feed-in 1, reserve field 1, cross-coupling, longitudinal separation, feed-in network 2, reserve field 2, transformer 2. The busbars and fields are to be designed for 2,500 A and a short-circuit current of 40 Ka 3s. The standardized protection and control cabinets are housed in a separate adjacent room. The list of rooms for the location of the remaining equipment can be found below. All technical components are to be designed in accordance with the current standards and regulations. The building must not exceed a maximum height of 20 m. The building's developer is Stadtwerke Wiesbaden Netz GmbH, which will also operate the substation, while the data center will be set up and operated by the company Witcom.
