Tender launched for major road project in Norway

Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens Vegvesen) has launched a tender notice for private developers for the National road 555 Sotrasambandet PPP project (Sotra Connection). The aim of the procurement is to construct a dual carriageway between Storavatnet in Bergen Municipality and Kolltveit in New Øygarden Municipality. 

The contract includes, amongst other things, a new Sotra bridge, 4 tunnels, 6 major split level junctions, new foot/cycle paths, new bus terminals, as well as upgrades to side roads and parts of the existing road network. The current national road 555 is a single carriageway of varying standard and a very high ADT. The transport system is very vulnerable with the current bridge being the only access to New Øygarden Municipality.

The contest will be a negotiated procedure, where the 3 best qualified suppliers invited to submit a tender. The private partner will be completely responsible for the engineering design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the contract for 25 years. Tenderers must seek innovative, digital systems to achieve seamless execution of the engineering design, construction and operation phases.

The deadline to submit the interest is February 28, 2020.
