CO?e accounting of traffic-released construction projects 2026

Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text is detailed. Such as in the Eigenerklärung zur Eignung and the specific Eignungskriterien, the bidder must submit: (i) the completed “Eigenerklärung zur Eignung” (or EEE) covering non‑exclusion under §§ 123, 124 GWB, tax/social security compliance, insolvency status, registration in a Berufs-/Handelsregister or equivalent, and a declaration on professional/betriebshaftpflicht insurance with defined minimum sums (1,000,000 EUR for persons and 1,000,000 EUR for Sach-/Vermögensschäden); (ii) company‑level references via HVA Eigenerklärung Eignung IV and Formblatt C‑F4.1, showing at least three comparable projects (since 2021) in CO₂‑bilanzierung/THG‑Berechnung, LV-/Mengen-/Projektdaten-Auswertung, CO₂‑Faktoren-Mapping und Ergebnisaufbereitung, including Auftraggeber, contact, Leistungszeitraum, Auftragswert and used tools; (iii) team references via C‑F_Formblatt Team_EK_UVgO and C‑F4.2, listing the hauptverantwortlich eingesetzten Personen, their roles and project‑specific experience, ensuring that collectively all listed competence areas are covered (CO₂/LCA‑Methodik, Großprojekte, iTWO/GAEB/Excel/CSV‑Daten, CO₂‑Faktoren & QS, Lebenszyklusphasen A1‑A5); and (iv) an own declaration that a suitable digital tool or structured data‑processing approach for CO₂‑bilanzierung is available and used, able to perform structured data import, cleaning, mapping of positions to CO₂‑factors, calculation, documentation, plausibility checking and project/portfolio reporting. Economic/financial capacity is primarily addressed through the generic Eigenerklärung (turnover fields exist but the specific Mindestjahresumsatz appears to be set via “*” and not explicitly filled in the excerpts), with the option of economic “Eignungsleihe” from other companies supported by a Verpflichtungserklärung wirtschaftliche Eignungsleihe.

The scope of the contract is described in the Leistungsbeschreibung. Such as in section 3.1–3.3, the contract begins with award and ends on 30.06.2027, performance starting “unverzüglich” after Zuschlagserteilung. The place of performance is effectively the Autobahn GmbH’s nationwide portfolio; the substantive scope is the CO₂‑bilanzierung of 80–120 representative, already traffic‑released construction projects of the Autobahn GmbH. Basis inputs are Leistungsverzeichnisse, Mengenansätze and iTWO‑Datenexporte provided by the client. The bidder must present a full Leistungskonzept explaining: methodical setup for large Autobahn projects; joint selection logic for the 80–120 projects; procedures for Datenübernahme/-bereinigung/-konsolidierung; emissions‑relevant filtering and Wesentlichkeitslogik (focus on materials like asphalt, concrete, steel); mapping of LV-/Mengen to CO₂‑Faktoren including data sources and QS; Berechnungsmethodik over life‑cycle phases A1–A5; applicability to various Bautypen and measures; digital tool and Skalierungskonzept; quality assurance (checks, Vier‑Augen‑Prinzip, handling deviations); documentation of assumptions, data sources and limitations; and concrete deliverables such as project result sheets, portfolio analysis, emissions driver breakdowns, structured data tables, a Berichterstattung‑ready summary and recommendations to reduce future bilanzierungsaufwand.

Award criteria and weighting are touched on in the Aufforderung and via a referenced “Gewichtung der Zuschlagskriterien” form. Such as in section 6, price is a Zuschlagskriterium and the “Wertungssumme” is based on the recalculated Angebotssumme (including cheaper Grund-/Wahlpositionen and unconditional discounts). However, the text explicitly states that “Preis und weitere Zuschlagskriterien gemäß Anlage Vordruck HVA L‑StB Gewichtung der Zuschlagskriterien” are applied, meaning that non‑price criteria (presumably qualitative aspects of Konzept, method, tools, team competence) are also weighted; the exact weighting values are in the separate, but referenced, “Gewichtung der Zuschlagskriterien” document. Nebenangebote are expressly not permitted for this procedure (crossed “X Nebenangebote sind nicht zugelassen”), so competition is on the main offer only. Moreover, certain fields in the Eigenerklärung (e.g. Umweltmanagement, Untersuchungs- und Forschungsmöglichkeiten, technical equipment) may either be requested or not, depending on the contracting authority’s markings, with detailed evidence only required “auf gesondertes Verlangen” for bidders in closer consideration.

Risks and special conditions are mainly outlined through compliance, subcontracting and formalities. Such as in the Compliance-Klausel, the contractor undertakes to comply with anti‑corruption, anti‑money‑laundering, human rights, environmental and wage/tariff obligations, and to ensure similar behavior by subcontractors; serious breaches or inclusion on sanction lists allow the client to withdraw or terminate for cause and can trigger a contractual penalty of 5% of the contract price plus potential further damages. Subcontracting and Eignungsleihe are regulated via the Bewerbungsbedingungen and specific forms: intended sub‑deliveries must be identified in the Eigenerklärung and the separate “Leistungen von Unterauftragnehmern” form, with each supporting company bound via a Verpflichtungserklärung (for performance or for economic capacity, jointly liable in the latter case). Bietergemeinschaften must submit a joint declaration stating internal organization and gesamtschuldnerische Haftung. Bid validity and procedural risk are addressed via the bindefrist (31.12.2026) and the obligation to point out any perceived errors or contradictions in the tender documents “unverzüglich” to the Vergabestelle before bid submission. There is no mention of a mandatory site visit, guarantees or performance bonds in the provided excerpts; penalties relate primarily to compliance and competitive behavior, and insurance is a precondition rather than a classical contract guarantee. Contradictions are partly neutralized by explicit statements (e.g. Nebenangebote: general Bewerbungsbedingungen allow Nebenangebote, but the specific Aufforderung overrides them by marking “nicht zugelassen”; thus the procedure-specific marking applies). In case of ambiguity, the Bewerbungsbedingungen require bidders to ask the Vergabestelle in text form; the authority then clarifies which statement prevails.
