Thor Offshore Wind Farm – UXO Box Survey

Procurement of services regarding UXO Box Survey for the new Danish Offshore Wind Farm, Thor.

Offshore in the Danish North Sea.

Energinet is performing the initial geophysical and geotechnical investigations prior to the procurement of the new wind farm. In order to minimize the UXO risk for the geotechnical investigations, planned to commence in April 2020, a UXO Box survey has been requested.

The UXO Box Survey shall be performed in approximately 100 rectangular zones (each spanning 200 x 150 m or 100 x 50 m). The size of the zones to be investigated depends on whether the area is subject to a geotechnical borehole or CPT during the geotechnical investigations.

The UXO Box survey shall include the following geophysical survey methods:

— magnetometer survey,

— Side scan sonar (SSS) survey,

— Multi-beam Echo-sounding (MBES) survey.

It is furthermore required that the following is performed as part of the survey:

— offshore data processing, target interpretation and reporting.

The deliverables requested under this contract include:

— a fast track data package,

— an operational survey report,

— an interpretative survey report,

— digital deliverables.

If more than 5 applicants fulfills the minimum requirements, cf. Section III, the contracting authority will pre-qualify the 5 applicants who are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tendered assignment. Only these applicants will be invited to submit a tender. The selection of the applicants will be based on the submitted references. That is to which extend the reference(s) are assed to be similar to the tendered assignment, cf. Section II.2.4), in terms of comparability and relevance. As a result the number of references will not be the determining factor alone, but more importantly to which degree the specific forwarded references are comparable and relevant to the tendered assignment regarding solution and scope, especially concerning:

— geophysical surveys (MBES, SSS and mag),

— ability to work in water depths of 20-40 m.

Please note that this is a negotiated procedure. With the exception of mandatory parts, the tender documents may as a result undergo changes as part of the negotiation process.

The applicant must confirm the economic ability in the ESPD part IV.B: ‘Economic and financial standing’ with information from the latest annual report regarding the following economic indicators:

1) Equity (total equity incl. share capital, reserves, revaluation, retained earning, etc.);

2) Equity ratio (equity/total assets).

If the applicant is relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities, cf. Section VI.3) ‘Additional information’. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure that the minimum level(s) of standards required are reached when the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or when the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium).

Concerning 1: Equity from the latest annual report must be at least 33 pct. of the total expected amount of the contract (corresponding to 221 100 EUR);

Concerning 2: Equity ratio from the latest annual report must be at least 20 pct. If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify, if equity exceeds the total expected amount of the contract.

The applicant must include the up to 5 most comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past three (3) years as part of the application. The references must be stated in the ESPD Part IV.C: ‘Technical and professional ability’. Undertaken in the past three (3) years implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 3 years backwards from the submission date for pre-qualification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, but if this is the case, the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the applicant, cf. Section II.2.9).

The references should include:

— a specific description of the work performed for each reference, including: survey type and survey methods,

— contract value (if possible),

— contact information for the entity in question (including contact person),

— date of initiation and final delivery (day, month, year).

Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities concerning the above information may have a negative effect on the selection of candidates, cf. Section II.2.9). Please note the ‘description’ box can contain more text than is visible. I.e. it is possible to copy paste text into the box.

If the applicant is relying on the references of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the information for the ESPD part IV.C must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities.

The number of references should not surpass a maximum of the 5 most comparable and relevant references. If the applicant is relying on the capacity of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed 5 when combined. If more than 5 references are submitted, the contracting authority will initially consider the 5 most recent references determined by date of final delivery (in this case not yet finished references will not be included). Only in case this number doesn’t exceed the 5 references. The contracting authority will include the references not yet finished and only the missing number of references up to the 5 references. The contracting authority will select the missing number of references after the references which are started up first.

The applicant must submit a completed version of the ESPD. Please see Section VI.3) ‘Additional information’ for further information regarding the ESPD. The application must be submitted through EU-Supply, cf. link in Section I.1) in this notification. Applications not submitted via EU-supply or received after the deadline will not be accepted.

The contracting authority reserves the right to request the applicant to supplement, specify or complete the information submitted.

The information is stated in the tender documents. The guarantees required can be found in the contract agreement (doc.19/05936-1) Clause 22.

The information is stated in the tender documents. See especially the contract agreement (doc.19/05936-1) Clause 6 and Clause 22 (advance payment).

No special legal form is required.

If the agreements are awarded to a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the participants are required to undertake joint and several liabilities and to appoint one economic operator to represent the group.

The information is stated in the tender documents.

The applicant must submit a completed ESPD to apply for pre-qualification for this tender procedure. The ESPD for this tender can be found via EU-supply. The ESPD must be completed in EU-Supply and submitted via ‘My Response’.

Please note:

— an applicant participating on its own, but relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), must ensure that the application includes the applicants own ESPD together with a separate ESPD from each of the entities it relies on with a completed Part II: ‘Information concerning the economic operator’ and Part III: ‘Exclusion grounds’ of the ESPD as well as the relevant information regarding Part IV: ‘Selection criteria’ and Part V: ‘Reduction of the number of qualified candidates’. The ESPD from each of the entities should be duly filled and signed by the entities concerned.

Further where an applicant wants to rely on the capacities of other entities, it shall prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary, for example, by producing a commitment by those entities to that effect, which must be submitted as part of the final documentation,
