• Voltage level, length of cable route, maximum delivery lengths and tasks performed (e.g. design, fabrication, factory testing, supply, transport, construction (civil works not includ-ed), installation (joints, terminations(AIS, GIS), link boxes), completion, site testing, com-missioning and taking-over testing of the entire supply and its systems and functions).

• Electrical stress level of performed type test(s) of the electrical power cable in accordance with IEC or equivalent (higher stress level at inner semi conducting layer will be evaluated positively).

• Experience with work conducted in following climate conditions:

o Temperate climate will be evaluated positively whereas tropical, subtropical and polar climate will be evaluated negatively.

• Experience with work in following Geological conditions will be evaluated positively:

o Fat heavy soil and large percentage of clay

o High ground water level – up to 0,3 meters below surface

Variants will be accepted: no

Options: yes

Description of options:

See Schedule of Prices Doc. 21/08902-16

The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: no

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.

List and brief description of selection criteria:

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 indica-tors:

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

2. Equity ratio (equity/total assets). This must be stated with two decimals.

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 on the basis of consolidation 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).

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:

1. The Equity from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least EUR 6 million

2. The Equity ratio from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least 20 pct.

o If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify if Equity exceeds EUR 17 million.

List and brief description of selection criteria:

I) The applicant must include the up to 5 most comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past five (5) 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 five (5) years implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 5 years back-wards from the submission date for prequalification. 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:

o Voltage level

o Length of cable route

o Maximum delivery lengths

o Tasks performed (e.g. design, fabrication, factory testing, supply, transport, construction (civil works not included), installation (joints, terminations (AIS, GIS)), completion, site testing, commissioning and taking-over testing of the entire supply and its systems and functions)

o Description of type-test (if performed), including stress level at inner semi conducting layer

o Production and test facility for the power cables

o Production and test facility for the accessories

o Place of delivery, including information concerning climate and geological con-ditions

o Information about contact data (name, email and phone number) for refer-ences

• Contract value (if possible)

• Contact information for the entity in question (including contact person – if possible)

• Date of initiation and final delivery (day, month, year)

Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities concerning the above information may have a nega-tive effect on the selection of candidates, cf. section 3.1. 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) the information for the ESPD part IV.C must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of the entities.

The number of references should not surpass a maximum of the five (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) the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed five (5) when combined. If more than five (5) references are submitted, the Contracting Authority will only consider the five (5) most recent references determined by date of final delivery (in this case not yet finished references will not be included unless less than five (5) references have been completed, in which case the selection will be made on the basis of the earliest initiation date).

II) Further, the applicant must confirm the technical and professional ability concerning quality and environmental standards in the ESPD part IV.D: “Quality assurance schemes and environmental management standards” by checking the boxes for both “Certificates by independent bodies about quality assurance standards” and “Certificates by independent bodies about environmental management systems or standards”.

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:

For references:

1) A minimum of two (2) fully completed and energized land cable references on voltage level 220kV AC or higher and a system length of 5 kilometers or higher must be submitted.

2) For each factory the applicant intends to use for the production of the cable, the applicant must be able to submit at least one (1) reference which include the performance and passing of a type test in accordance with IEC or equivalent for a cable within the range of 1600-2500 mm2.

For standards:

1) For each factory the applicant intends to use for the production of the cable, the applicant must have a valid ISO 9001 (or equivalent) certificate
