Equity (total equity incl. share capital, reserves, revaluation, retained earning etc.) 2. Equity ratio (equity/total assets). This must be stated with two decimals. If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities or the applicant is a group of economic operators, the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure that the minimum requirements are reached, based on consolidation, when the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or when the applicant is a group of economic operators. Minimum requirement: Equity from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least 2,000,000 EUR. Equity ratio from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least 20 pct. If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify if Equity exceeds 6,000,000 EUR. Turnover from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least 10,000,000 EUR

The suitability of applicants fulfilling the minimum requirements for economic and financial standing will be assessed based on technical and professional ability. The ability will be assessed based on references which can be filled in ESPD part IV.C. 2.3The applicant is allowed to submit up to 3 most comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past 7 years as part of the application. "Undertaken in the past 7 years” implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 7 years backwards from the submission date for prequalification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, however the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the application, cf. section 2.3. The references should describe HDD drilling experience, and include: • A specific description of deliveries, including: - Length, diameter, width and depth of drilling - Types of crossings - Drilling system - Handling of frack outs - Incidents concerning HSE - Applicant’s concrete role in the (main/subcontractor) • Contract value (if possible) • Location • Date of initiation and final delivery (day, month, year) Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities may have a negative effect on the selection of applicants. Please note the “description” box in ESPD part IV.C. can contain more text than is visible and it is possible to copy paste text into the box. If the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or the applicant is a group of economic operators, the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed 3 when combined. If more are submitted, the Contracting Authority will only consider the most recent references determined by date of final delivery, in this case not yet finished references will not be included. If the applicant relies on other entities’ capacity or is part of a group of economic operators, the information concerning ESPD part IV.C must be submitted in separate ESPDs for each entity. Minimum requirement: The applicant must have at least one reference with HDD landfall drilling, that meets the following requirements: - Undertaken within the past 7 years - Contract value of at least 5.000.000 EUR
