26-081830 MS and transformer system

Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification: the text systematically lists required forms and proofs. With the offer, bidders must submit, such as, the Angebotsschreiben (213.H), the priced Leistungsverzeichnis, the Instandhaltungsvertrag (Wartung_2018_Vertrag_E.pdf), Form 127 (Erklärung Bezug Russland), Form 221 or 222 (price calculation), any Lohngleitklausel‑offer (224), the Nachunternehmerverzeichnis (233) if subcontractors are used, the declaration for bidder consortium (234) if applicable, and the Verzeichnis der Leistungen/Kapazitäten anderer Unternehmen (235) if capacities of other firms are used. They must also provide the declarations on wood products (248), regional plants (2481) and avoidance of child labour products (2491), plus the technical declaration on vehicle restraint systems (2292.StB) where relevant. As to qualification, non‑prequalified companies submit the Eigenerklärung zur Eignung (124) or a European Single Procurement Document (EEE), including turnover in the last three years, reference projects in the last five years, confirmation of sufficient workforce, registry entries (Handelsregister, Handwerksrolle, IHK), absence of insolvency and exclusion grounds (§ 6e EU VOB/A), and proper tax/social security payments. If the bid comes into closer consideration, they must provide, such as, reference certificates (Form 444 style), detailed workforce statistics, Gewerbeanmeldung/Handelsregister/Handwerkskarte or IHK certificate, tax office and social fund clearances, Freistellungsbescheinigung (§ 48b EStG), and a qualified BG (Berufsgenossenschaft) clearance; similar proofs apply to any named other companies whose capacities are used.

On scope, quantities, place and period, the text identifies the contract as “LV: Mittelspannung und Trafo” for the “Energie‑Logistikzentrale” at UTN Nürnberg. The detailed quantities are contained in the Leistungsverzeichnis (not fully reproduced here) with standardized units (such as cm, m, m², m³, kWh, Stück, Wochen, Stunden etc.) and combinational units (m x Tag, Stück x Stunde, etc.) for works, services and maintenance. The contract includes not only execution of the MS and transformer installation but also, such as, preparation of workshop and installation drawings, plan coordination based on AG‑supplied PDFs/DWGs/3D model (9 floor plans, 5 schematics, 3D‑model), participation in weekly site meetings, continuous presence of a qualified German‑speaking site supervisor, digital document handling via the web‑based exchange platform, and performance of an associated maintenance/instandhaltung contract with yearly remuneration stated separately in the Angebotsschreiben. Execution periods and contractual milestones are governed by 214.H and further specified in the LV: a Baufristenplan must be developed by the contractor based on the AG’s Bauablaufplan, kept updated, and submitted via the exchange platform; the “Beschleunigungsregelung” is a specific award criterion, requiring bidders to commit a binding end‑date (not later than the one in the Besondere Vertragsbedingungen) and submit a bar chart schedule with defined activities, intermediate and final deadlines.

On award criteria and weighting, the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe (211 EU) states that the main award criterion is price: the Zuschlagskriterium “Preis” is evaluated via the “Wertungssumme” of the re‑calculated offer, including, such as, discounts, lohngleitklausel reimbursement amounts, and maintenance offers. Additionally, the documentation refers to “Mehrere Zuschlagskriterien gemäß Formblatt 227.H – Gewichtung der Zuschlagskriterien,” which means that besides price there are other weighted criteria, notably the Beschleunigungsregelung: bidders must submit the binding Bauende and Bauzeitenplan as “Unterlagen zu den Zuschlagskriterien” on a separate annex (as described in Form 216). Thus, the award is based on a combination of price and qualitative/time‑related criteria, with the exact weighting detailed in the referenced Formblatt 227.H (not fully quoted here).

Concerning risks and special conditions (penalties, guarantees, subcontracting, validity, questions, site visit), the Besondere Vertragsbedingungen (214.H) and LV clauses define several contractual risks. There are contractual penalties: for each day of delay against contractual individual deadlines or overall completion, the contractor owes a daily Vertragsstrafe, calculated as a percentage of the net contract sum; total penalties are capped at a given percentage of the contract sum, with aggregation rules between individual and overall delays. Security: clauses provide that security for performance and defects may either be waived or required depending on contract sum (threshold 250,000 € net); if required, specific standard guarantee forms (performance, defects, advance/instalment payment guarantees) of the client must be used. Subcontracting is tightly controlled: all subcontract agreements must be under VOB/B; violation allows termination for cause and may lead to loss of prequalification; awarding contract parts to “Nach‑Nachunternehmer” (sub‑subcontractors) is in principle not permitted. On procedural risks, the bidder is bound by the offer until the end of the binding period (30.01.2027); any competition‑restricting arrangements trigger a contractual liquidated damages clause of 5% of the contract sum. Questions and clarifications must be raised “unverzüglich vor Angebotsabgabe” to the client if the bidder finds ambiguities or errors. Site visits by third parties require prior AG consent; overnight stays on the entire construction site are strictly forbidden; advertising on site is generally prohibited unless AG approves; electronic data exchange and GAEB/DA XML rules govern offer and billing, with the written version prevailing in case of discrepancies.

As to contradictions or corrections within the documents, the text itself sets precedence rules rather than explicit conflicting statements. For example, it explicitly states that, such as, the long version of the Leistungsverzeichnis provided by the client is solely binding (self‑made short versions of the LV are allowed only as working aids), and that in case of differences between data‑exchange files and the written accounting documents, the written version prevails, with differences to be marked by the contractor. Similarly, if multiple forms refer to advertising on site, the specific clause in the LV (“Auf der Baustelle wird Firmenwerbung nicht zugestimmt … Ausnahmen bedürfen schriftlicher Genehmigung”) refines the general rule in 214.H (“Werbung auf der Baustelle ist nur nach vorheriger Zustimmung des Auftraggebers zulässig”); both are consistent and the stricter, more detailed LV rule applies. There is no direct contradiction on key topics like eligibility, submission form, or deadlines; where several documents touch the same subject (e.g. subcontracting, data exchange, penalties), the LV and Besondere Vertragsbedingungen clauses are presented as “Fortsetzung siehe Leistungsbeschreibung,” making clear that the project‑specific provisions in the LV supplement and concretize the standard 214.H text.
