What the buyer is looking for
The City of Kotka (contracting entity, client) invites tenders for the LVISA and water treatment design of Uimala Katariina, including the preparation of a climate report, in accordance with the invitation to tender and its annexes. In spring 2026, the main design and architectural design, including yard, acoustics and interior design as well as BIM coordination, were put out to tender for the design of the new building of the Katariina swimming pool and the outdoor swimming pool. Architectural office Arktes Oy is responsible for the architectural and main design of the site. The architect works as the main designer of the site. The project plan includes a target price estimate prepared by the client. The target price estimate will be reviewed as the planning progresses in the different phases of the project by the client. The client requires the design team to use design solutions that maintain the target price estimate.
