Network operation of the subsidised fibre networks of the City of Laichingen – upgrade address points (gF)

… to tender does not cover address points in white areas (including area extensions), building gaps and address points that have only been prepared by means of excavation on the basis of reserve capacities. According to the decisions on the final amount of the grant, the gigabit directive (version of 27 December 2022), the BNBest gigabit (as of 17 October 2022) and the gigabit framework of 13 November 2020 also apply to the synergy upgrade address points. For the excavation upgrade address points, the decisions refer to the Broadband Directive, the BNBest Broadband and the NGA Framework, while at the same time presupposing eligibility under the gigabit Directive thresholds. The selection procedure is carried out uniformly for all upgrade address points in accordance with Sections 5 and 7 of the Gigabit Framework. The fibre-optic network in accordance with Annex “... Ausbaugebiete_Ausbauadressen...” (hereinafter referred to as “Plan”) is built and handed over to the WFP network operator NetCom BW. The City of Laichingen, as principal (AG), does not itself provide network operation and internet and telecommunications services. The subject of the invitation to tender is therefore the leasing of the passive fibre network for the upgrade addresses to a service provider who, as a contractor (AN), ensures network operation by means of a service concession and offers internet and telecommunications services – also as a bundle offer – to private and commercial end customers for a reasonable fee. AN shall also offer active and passive wholesale products to customers, taking into account the information provided by the BMDS at wholesale prices dated 31 March 2026 (Annex). In addition, there are maintenance, servicing, repair, suppression and services as well as related services. The passive infrastructure is leased out on the basis of a network operation and lease agreement. The infrastructure used for each lot shall be clearly and accurately separated after notification by the promoter; The object of the lease is exactly the infrastructure assigned to the respective program (eFiles). The implementation of any co-use claims of one program to infrastructure of another program is the task of the AG. Further details are laid down in Annex 3 ‘Definition of the leased property and interfaces to the white spot network’. For facilities that also serve to supply the white spots (commonly used facilities, in particular PoP, routes, pipes, cables, fibres), § 1.1 of the network operation and lease agreement applies: They are left to the Contractor only for joint use; Maintenance, troubleshooting, route information as well as follow-up and follow-up costs obligations shall remain with the existing operator insofar as Appendix 3 does not specify otherwise. AN is the operator of a public telecommunications network under the TKG with the following main tasks: – equipping the network with active technology, including any necessary ONT at the customer’s premises; – operation of the network in compliance with the SLAs provided by the AN; – Provision and distribution of internet and voice communication services
