Details: The aim is to organize and conduct a central training event for school assistants at start-up schools in the state of Brandenburg. The training is intended to provide participants with the technical knowledge they need for their work. The training is intended to teach them how to carry out administrative tasks within the multifunctional school team in a functional and task-appropriate manner. The focus is to be on the "school" working environment, as participants are expected to have prior administrative knowledge. Relevant regulations and specialist applications that are necessary for the work area are to be addressed. As a result of the training - the participants were taught the key structures, procedures and legal rules that publicly funded schools in the state of Brandenburg work according to; - the participants were taught their professional role in this system and their areas of responsibility, including basic legal aspects when working with and alongside school management; - the participants were given knowledge that enables them to support school management with administrative tasks; - The participants have been able to gain concrete ideas on the administrative support and promotion of school development projects. The contractor must therefore ensure that learning content is conveyed on the aforementioned points. The learning content is specified below. The training is modular in structure. The modules must contain the following subject areas: Introductory and overview modules 1. Schools as institutions to be administered - Function and position of schools in their institutional environment - School administration in Brandenburg and interfaces to other administrative areas - Introduction to the specialist procedures Webbschule, Zensos, Untis 2. Role and function: areas of responsibility, assignments - assignments, responsibilities, agreements - cooperation within and outside of school, participation in school development 3. Information and documentation - maintenance of school-internal and school-official statistics - participation in public relations and maintaining contact with school participation committees, documentation of meeting results, preparation of minutes In-depth modules 4. School administration and service law - Brandenburg School Act - Administratively relevant legal bases, above all: VV teaching organization and VV school operation - School-relevant regulations from liability, disciplinary and house rules 5. Organizational fields - Financial resource management, financial controlling - Basics of procurement law - Registration procedures And examination organization - lesson, substitute, supervision, vacation plans - property management and coordination with school operations: maintenance, repairs, buildings 6. Coordination areas - cooperation with external bodies, especially school authorities, medical and safety services, companies, security authorities, extracurricular educational providers - school route security, student transportation - school committees, working groups, school association, sponsors, etc. The training should last around 24 hours. Half training days of 4 hours each should be planned over a maximum period of six weeks. The training should be implemented as a blended learning format, with two events being held in person. The venue is determined by the contractor himself. This must be in the state of Brandenburg or the state of Berlin. A greater tension between "beginners" and "experts" should be assumed. The contractor should therefore be able to organize the learning content in such a way that all participants can follow the training. The training content must be planned in such a way that participants can only attend individual modules. It is assumed that there will be around 80 participants. The participants and the client must be provided with a short version of the most important training content (= training summary) in a suitable form (by email or as a handout).

Section Vi. 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 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.
