Trockenbau + abgehängte Metalldecken (26-59298)

Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the documents specify that bids must use the prescribed VHB forms and include, such as: the signed Angebotsschreiben (Form 213); the filled Leistungsverzeichnis with prices; Angaben zur Preisermittlung (Form 221 or 222); the Eigenerklärung zur Eignung (Form 124) or a Einheitliche Europäische Eigenerklärung, unless the bidder is already präqualifiziert and states a PQ‑Nummer; the Eigenerklärung Russlandsanktion (Art. 5k‑Erklärung); and, where applicable, Form 234 (Bieter-/Arbeitsgemeinschaft), Form 235 (Leistungen/Kapazitäten anderer Unternehmen), Form 233 (Nachunternehmerleistungen), Form 248 (Holzprodukte), as well as any required produktbezogene Angaben and sonstige Mindestanforderungs‑Nachweise. As for qualification content, the Eigenerklärung zur Eignung demands information such as: turnover (Umsatz) from comparable construction services over the last three business years; confirmation of comparable projects within the last five calendar years; commitment to provide at least three detailed reference certificates (with contact person, contract sum, executed quantities, staffing, technical demands, type of project, role, confirmation of proper performance) upon request; statements on workforce availability and average annual staff numbers by pay group; register entries (Handelsregister, Handwerksrolle/IHK or justification why no registration duty exists); non‑existence of insolvency or liquidation and, if applicable, a confirmed insolvency plan; compliance with tax, social‑security and minimum‑wage obligations; membership in the Berufsgenossenschaft and, on demand, an Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung. On request, the authority may additionally require such as: Gewerbeanmeldung, Handelsregisterauszug, Handwerkskarte, Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigungen from Finanzamt, Sozialkasse and Berufsgenossenschaft (with wage totals), Freistellungsbescheinigung § 48b EStG, and workforce structure declarations. Präqualifizierte companies can replace much of this by their PQ listing, but must still supplement with project‑specific proofs if demanded.

Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the documents set the place of performance as the university medical faculty site in Mannheim, building 6. The detailed quantities and technical scope are contained in the full Leistungsverzeichnis that, as clarified in the “Änderungen zur Version 1” notice, has been corrected in Version 2 to include all pages after a bidder question revealed that only page 1 had been provided initially. Time-wise, the Ausführungsfristen are strictly defined: start of execution on 19.07.2027; completion (abnahmereif) on 23.05.2028; with binding intermediate contractual milestones drawn from the Bauzeitenplan, such as Werk- und Montageplanung up to 21.05.2027, start of wall works on 19.07.2027, and start of suspended ceilings on 16.02.2028. The contractor must produce a Baufristenplan (bar chart) aligned with these contractual deadlines, update it if schedules change, and hand it over within 12 working days after award and thereafter in triplicate. Water and energy costs are borne by the client and therefore must not be priced into unit rates. The scope also includes obligations such as compliance with a Baulogistikhandbuch, proper waste management (Form 241) including becoming the “Abfallerzeuger” for construction waste and handling all required Kreislaufwirtschafts‑ and NachwV‑documentation, and the use of GAEB/DA XML for data exchange and XRechnung standards for electronic invoicing via the central invoice portal of Baden‑Württemberg.

On award criteria and weighting, the tender designates the Zuschlagskriterium as “Preis” (price), so that economically most advantageous tender is determined solely on price, with the Wertungssumme derived from recalculated offer totals considering such as unconditional discounts, Lohngleitklausel refund amounts and any related Instandhaltungsangebote. Additional Zuschlagskriterien may be specified in a separate annex 227, but the main text emphasises price. A particular weighting applies for offers from “Werkstätten für Behinderte”: a bonus of 15 percent is granted in the calculation of the Wertungssumme, and if such an offer is equally economical as another, the award must go to the workshop for disabled persons, provided the bidder submits proof of this status with their bid. Nebenangebote are explicitly not permitted for this procedure (section 6 of Form 211 overrides the generic Nebenangebotsregel in Form 212), which means only main offers respecting the specified technical solution and terms are allowed; multiple Hauptangebote, however, are permitted as long as each is independently compliant and awardable.

With respect to risks and special conditions, the tender imposes several contractual and procedural features that bidders must heed. As such, there are contractual penalties (Vertragsstrafen) under § 11 VOB/B for exceeding any contractual deadlines (start, completion, or intermediate milestones): an amount per working day of delay (to be specified in the contract), capped at a total of 5% of the net contract sum, with separate caps for partial phases. Securities are required if the contract sum is at least 250,000 EUR (net): 5% of the gross contract sum as performance security and 3% of the total interim payment sum at acceptance as defects‑liability security, which may be provided via the client’s standard Bürgschaft forms (Vertragserfüllungs-, Mängelansprüche- and Abschlags-/Vorauszahlungsbürgschaft). Payment risk is moderated by extending the VOB/B § 16(3) final payment period and default trigger to 60 days, and by strictly linking the start of payment periods to invoice receipt by the contracting authority via the E‑Rechnung system. Subcontracting and use of other firms’ capacities are regulated via Forms 233, 235 and 236: bidders must declare which portions they intend to subcontract or use for Eignungsleihe, name and detail those firms, and, upon request, provide binding Verpflichtungserklärungen and evidence of their suitability; in case of Eignungsleihe for financial capacity, joint liability with those firms is mandatory. Data‑protection and IT‑security risks are addressed through a separate information sheet and further special conditions, including: an optional Einwilligungserklärung to broaden data processing on the bidder’s performance; mandatory notification obligations in case of cyber attacks or other security incidents affecting the IT‑infrastructure relevant to the project, with detailed reporting requirements to SITiF BW and support duties in incident handling. The bidder must also use the PlanTeam‑Server (PTS) for project communication and document exchange, attend weekly site meetings via an appropriate representative, and comply with waste‑management obligations, which shift most legal responsibilities for waste to the contractor. The bid validity (Bindefrist) runs until 29.01.2027, and the documents note that missing offer‑bound documents will generally be requested later (Nachforderung is enabled), reducing but not eliminating the risk of exclusion. Question deadlines and site visits are not explicitly dated in the excerpt, but the participation conditions require bidders to quickly notify the authority of any perceived errors in the documents before bid submission and outline the competent Vergabekammer (Karlsruhe) for review of alleged procurement‑law violations.

On contradictions or corrections within the documents, the tender materials give clear guidance on which statements prevail. As such, Form 244 on data exchange stipulates that, in case of discrepancies between GAEB/XML data files and the written version of the tender or accounting documents, only the written version is binding; any content deviations must be marked by the contractor in the written documents. The participation conditions (Form 212) clarify that while a self‑made LV copy or summary may be used for internal calculation, only the long form LV issued by the authority is binding. The “Änderungen zur Version 1” letter explicitly corrects an earlier defect (LV PDF only containing one page) and instructs bidders that the full Leistungsverzeichnis attached to Version 2 must be used and taken into account for their offers; this correction governs over any previous, incomplete versions. Similarly, the specific tender (Form 211) overrides the generic possibility of Nebenangebote in Form 212 by ticking “Nebenangebote sind nicht zugelassen”, so the “not allowed” rule is controlling. Finally, the hierarchy of documents is implied: the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe (Form 211) and its annexes (216, 214, 241, 244, further special conditions) together with the Leistungsverzeichnis define the binding commercial and technical requirements; where standard forms contain options, the options that are ticked or supplemented in this particular tender are the applicable rules.
