Survey Tenders

Details: Preparation of a risk assessment (orientation study) in accordance with Section 9 Paragraph 1 of the Federal Soil Act. This results in the following key tasks: 1.) Demarcation studies by evaluating historical documents (survey map 1:25,000 and aerial photograph 1953) after georeferencing and comparison with the digital terrain model (DGM). 2.) Sinking of 4 - 6 core drillings (RKS) per Alvf and taking of depth-differentiated soil samples in the area of the suspected contaminated sites (except Reg. No. 0102520061) with analytical examination. Conversion of 2 RKS per Alvf into temporary groundwater measuring points. Groundwater sampling with analysis. Assessment of soil and water with regard to suspected contaminated sites or with regard to disposal in accordance with the Waste Catalogue Ordinance (avv) and Bbodschv with regard to the soil-human and soil-groundwater paths. 3.) Sinking of small ram boreholes in the wo-axis of the backfill body(s) with taking of solid samples (waste body/capillary area groundwater) and analysis in accordance with the Replacement Building Materials Ordinance Table 3 for soil material/soil material with foreign components or allocation information for the waste from a mirror entry (2024/ Avv) if there is a suspicion of the presence of hazardous waste. Eluate analyses of the backfill material. Assessment with regard to disposal and Bbodschv with regard to the soil-human and soil-groundwater paths. 4.) Sinking of profile rows in the small ram boreholes to determine the thickness of surface deposits (without sampling). A position and height measurement of the drilling starting points is absolutely necessary. The risk assessment to be carried out with evaluation of the results according to Bbodschv must be carried out with regard to the planned use of the surface as an urban area and with regard to the risk potential for the protected resource groundwater. Urban areas are used for housing and to accommodate commercial enterprises as well as social, cultural and other facilities that do not significantly disrupt residential use. The need for action should be derived from this. In addition, the depth-differentiated infiltration capacity should be derived from the soil samples - if necessary with the help of additional drilling - and the groundwater level and groundwater level should be documented. Areas that are not capable of infiltration should be shown separately on a map if necessary.

Details: The subject of the contract is the construction of a multi-purpose playground in the Petlérská Primary School complex in Klášterec Nad Ohří. The construction is located on plot no. 1704/169 in the area of the original playground, which will be demolished, and in its place a new multi-purpose sports field measuring 38 x 21 meters will be created, designed for sports such as volleyball, football, streetball, five-a-side football and tennis, according to the planning application prepared by Linhart, Ltd. The playground will be fenced with a fence with a total height of 4 m. Up to a height of 1 m, the fencing will be made partly of wooden planks. Welded 2D fence panels with a wire diameter of 6.8 mm and 5.6 mm will be placed above them. The fencing will be anchored to concrete footings and a concrete belt made of cast formwork. The posts are square in cross-section, measuring 80x80 mm. The playground is bordered on two sides by an access path made of interlocking paving stones. The terrain will be leveled using a 1:2 slope. The slope will be formed mainly from the existing base, which will be created during the preparatory work, and approximately 16 m3 of soil will be brought in for grassing. The existing basketball hoops will be carefully dismantled and handed over to the investor for further use. The construction is designed so as not to negatively affect the surrounding buildings and land. The drainage system ensures the drainage of rainwater in the form of a seepage, which ensures the protection of the surroundings from excessive moisture. The new fencing is complemented by two gates with a width of 2,530 mm. One entrance is connected to the existing interlocking paving area, while the other is connected to a new paved interlocking paving area. The solution also includes a paved area for the installation of four benches and one waste bin with a protective canopy, all at the investor's choice. The pitch has a new permeable polyurethane surface with a thickness of 11 mm, which is laid on a two-layer asphalt base Ako 8 and Ako 16, both layers 40 mm thick. Concrete foundations measuring 700 x 700 x 800 mm are designed for the installation of volleyball and tennis posts with a diameter of 89 mm. These foundations will ensure sufficient stability and strength of the posts during their use. A steel casing with a diameter of 102 mm and a wall thickness of 4 mm will be concreted into the concrete foundations, into which the columns will be inserted. This construction allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the columns, which contributes to the flexibility of using the multi-purpose sports center for various types of sports. Access and arrival to the construction site is via the existing road. For details, see the Pd and the Bill of Quantities. The Contractor's delivery includes, in addition to the work specified in the Bill of Quantities, the provision of the following activities: * Execution of the work according to the Bill of Quantities, in accordance with valid permits, according to valid standards and regulations, including the expected work related to the subject of the work (e.g. washing and cleaning of roads, transportation of materials and mechanization, etc.). * Engineering Activities of the Contractor for the Entire Duration of the Contract Until the Time of Handing Over the Communication to Its User Back into Use, I.e.

Specifications Notes On Specifications A Set Of Precise And Clear Specifications Is A Prerequisite For Bidders To Respond Realistically And Competitively To The Requirements Of The Procuring Entity Without Qualifying Or Conditioning Their Bids. In The Context Of International Competitive Bidding, The Specifications Must Be Drafted To Permit The Widest Possible Competition And, At The Same Time, Present A Clear Statement Of The Required Standards Of Workmanship, Materials, And Performance Of The Goods And Services To Be Procured. Only If This Is Done Will The Objectives Of Economy, Efficiency, And Fairness In Procurement Be Realized, Responsiveness Of Bids Be Ensured, And The Subsequent Task Of Bid Evaluation Facilitated. The Specifications Should Require That All Goods And Materials To Be Incorporated In The Works Be New, Unused, Of The Most Recent Or Current Models, And Incorporate All Recent Improvements In Design And Materials Unless Provided Otherwise In The Contract. Samples Of Specifications From Previous Similar Projects Are Useful In This Respect. The Use Of Metric Units Is Mandatory. Most Specifications Are Normally Written Specially By The Procuring Entity Or Its Representative To Suit The Works At Hand. There Is No Standard Set Of Specifications For Universal Application In All Sectors In All Regions, But There Are Established Principles And Practices, Which Are Reflected In These Pbds. There Are Considerable Advantages In Standardizing General Specifications For Repetitive Works In Recognized Public Sectors, Such As Highways, Ports, Railways, Urban Housing, Irrigation, And Water Supply, In The Same Country Or Region Where Similar Conditions Prevail. The General Specifications Should Cover All Classes Of Workmanship, Materials, And Equipment Commonly Involved In Construction, Although Not Necessarily To Be Used In A Particular Works Contract. Deletions Or Addenda Should Then Adapt The General Specifications To The Particular Works. Care Must Be Taken In Drafting Specifications To Ensure That They Are Not Restrictive. In The Specification Of Standards For Goods, Materials, And Workmanship, Recognized International Standards Should Be Used As Much As Possible. Where Other Particular Standards Are Used, Whether National Standards Or Other Standards, The Specifications Should State That Goods, Materials, And Workmanship That Meet Other Authoritative Standards, And Which Ensure Substantially Equal Or Higher Quality Than The Standards Mentioned, Will Also Be Acceptable. The Following Clause May Be Inserted In The Scc. Sample Clause: Equivalency Of Standards And Codes Wherever Reference Is Made In The Contract To Specific Standards And Codes To Be Met By The Goods And Materials To Be Furnished, And Work Performed Or Tested, The Provisions Of The Latest Current Edition Or Revision Of The Relevant Standards And Codes In Effect Shall Apply, Unless Otherwise Expressly Stated In The Contract. Where Such Standards And Codes Are National, Or Relate To A Particular Country Or Region, Other Authoritative Standards That Ensure A Substantially Equal Or Higher Quality Than The Standards And Codes Specified Will Be Accepted Subject To The Procuring Entity’s Representative’s Prior Review And Written Consent. Differences Between The Standards Specified And The Proposed Alternative Standards Shall Be Fully Described In Writing By The Contractor And Submitted To The Procuring Entity’s Representative At Least Twenty-eight (28) Days Prior To The Date When The Contractor Desires The Procuring Entity’s Representative’s Consent. In The Event The Procuring Entity’s Representative Determines That Such Proposed Deviations Do Not Ensure Substantially Equal Or Higher Quality, The Contractor Shall Comply With The Standards Specified In The Documents. These Notes Are Intended Only As Information For The Procuring Entity Or The Person Drafting The Bidding Documents. They Should Not Be Included In The Final Bidding Documents. Section Vii. Drawings Annex Bid In To Separate Folder Section Viii. Bill Of Quantities Notes On The Bill Of Quantities Objectives The Objectives Of The Bill Of Quantities Are: A. To Provide Sufficient Information On The Quantities Of Works To Be Performed To Enable Bids To Be Prepared Efficiently And Accurately; And B. When A Contract Has Been Entered Into, To Provide A Priced Bill Of Quantities For Use In The Periodic Valuation Of Works Executed. In Order To Attain These Objectives, Works Should Be Itemized In The Bill Of Quantities In Sufficient Detail To Distinguish Between The Different Classes Of Works, Or Between Works Of The Same Nature Carried Out In Different Locations Or In Other Circumstances Which May Give Rise To Different Considerations Of Cost. Consistent With These Requirements, The Layout And Content Of The Bill Of Quantities Should Be As Simple And Brief As Possible. Daywork Schedule A Daywork Schedule Should Be Included Only If The Probability Of Unforeseen Work, Outside The Items Included In The Bill Of Quantities, Is High. To Facilitate Checking By The Entity Of The Realism Of Rates Quoted By The Bidders, The Daywork Schedule Should Normally Comprise The Following: A. A List Of The Various Classes Of Labor, Materials, And Constructional Plant For Which Basic Daywork Rates Or Prices Are To Be Inserted By The Bidder, Together With A Statement Of The Conditions Under Which The Contractor Will Be Paid For Work Executed On A Daywork Basis. B. Nominal Quantities For Each Item Of Daywork, To Be Priced By Each Bidder At Daywork Rates As Bid. The Rate To Be Entered By The Bidder Against Each Basic Daywork Item Should Include The Contractor’s Profit, Overheads, Supervision, And Other Charges. Provisional Sums A General Provision For Physical Contingencies (quantity Overruns) May Be Made By Including A Provisional Sum In The Summary Bill Of Quantities. Similarly, A Contingency Allowance For Possible Price Increases Should Be Provided As A Provisional Sum In The Summary Bill Of Quantities. The Inclusion Of Such Provisional Sums Often Facilitates Budgetary Approval By Avoiding The Need To Request Periodic Supplementary Approvals As The Future Need Arises. Where Such Provisional Sums Or Contingency Allowances Are Used, The Scc Should State The Manner In Which They Will Be Used, And Under Whose Authority (usually The Procuring Entity’s Representative’s). The Estimated Cost Of Specialized Work To Be Carried Out, Or Of Special Goods To Be Supplied, By Other Contractors Should Be Indicated In The Relevant Part Of The Bill Of Quantities As A Particular Provisional Sum With An Appropriate Brief Description. A Separate Procurement Procedure Is Normally Carried Out By The Procuring Entity To Select Such Specialized Contractors. To Provide An Element Of Competition Among The Bidders In Respect Of Any Facilities, Amenities, Attendance, Etc., To Be Provided By The Successful Bidder As Prime Contractor For The Use And Convenience Of The Specialist Contractors, Each Related Provisional Sum Should Be Followed By An Item In The Bill Of Quantities Inviting The Bidder To Quote A Sum For Such Amenities, Facilities, Attendance, Etc. Signature Box A Signature Box Shall Be Added At The Bottom Of Each Page Of The Bill Of Quantities Where The Authorized Representative Of The Bidder Shall Affix His Signature. Failure Of The Authorized Representative To Sign Each And Every Page Of The Bill Of Quantities Shall Be A Cause For Rejection Of His Bid. These Notes For Preparing A Bill Of Quantities Are Intended Only As Information For The Procuring Entity Or The Person Drafting The Bidding Documents. They Should Not Be Included In The Final Documents. Section Ix.
