Description: Contract notice - general guideline, standard regulation negotiated procedure with prior publication of a call for competition / negotiated procedure (services) Büttelborn - project Mainzer Straße 15 and 20 Scope of work object planning buildings and interiors: basic services in accordance with §§ 33 ff. Hoai (performance phases 1-9) plus special services. The invitation to tender is a phased contract (1st stage: Lph 1-2 / 2nd stage: Lph 3-9). Büttelborn - project Mainzer Straße 15 and 20 The municipality of Büttelborn was included in the urban development funding program "urban redevelopment in Hesse" - since renamed "growth and sustainable renewal" - in 2017. For this purpose, an integrated urban development concept (isek) was drawn up in 2018, in which measures were recommended to sustainably improve the quality of life, living and work. The projects named below are a central building block of the urban redevelopment. The municipality of Büttelborn intends to award architectural services for the renovation and energy modernization and, if necessary, partial new development of two properties. The planning object is the two municipal properties at Mainzer Strasse 15 and 20 in Büttelborn. With regard to the individual planned measures and objectives as well as with regard to a brief description of the project including the eligible costs, reference is made to the "basic data" document and to the other tender documents; this also applies to the special services to be provided by the contractor. The applicant must also provide all basic services of service phases 1-9 in accordance with §§ 33 ff. Hoai (object planning for buildings and interiors). The tender documents and attachments are made available electronically on the Kvz tender platform. In parallel, the other specialist planning services (tga/hls/statics/open space design/building surveys) are to be tendered in separate tendering procedures, with the local contractor also to support their preparation and implementation. Public funding is also to be used for the project. For the implementation of the "Büttelborn town center" renewal measure in the 2023 urban development funding program, there are two grant decisions from Wi-bank dated December 8, 2023 and October 26, 2018. In this respect, the municipality was granted a total of €940,000 in grants from the state of Hesse, of which €470,000 is included as federal financial aid. The procedure is designed as a negotiated procedure with competitive bidding, especially since the applicants must also bring their own ideas into the procedure. There is a two-stage selection process. In the first stage, suitability criteria and references are checked to determine whether the applicant appears suitable for carrying out the project. In the second stage, all suitable applicants receive a letter inviting them to submit a bid. This invitation to tender will include, among other things, the submission of a final bid price and the presentation of the applicant's concept for implementing the task. Negotiations on the content of the concepts or the price are reserved. Bidding consortiums are permitted and desired based on the task. Bidding consortiums must name all members and one of their members as an authorized representative for the conclusion and implementation of the contract. Each member of a bidding consortium must submit the required proof of suitability and declarations for themselves. Each member of the bidding consortium must also make a legally binding declaration for themselves, which guarantees a jointly and severally liable legal form in the event of a contract being awarded. If the bidder wants to use the capacities of other companies to fulfil the contract, he must prove that this company meets the specified suitability requirements. The bidder must also prove that the capacities of the subcontractor are actually available to him, for example by submitting a declaration of commitment from the subcontractor. The attachments listed in the "basic data" document, together with the tender documents, are made available to the applicants.
