PART ΙΙ: SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT

DESCRIPTION
The title of the Contract is “GEOLOGICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL SURVEYS AND DESIGNS FOR EVOSMOS EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF GEOLOGICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL SURVEYS AND DESIGNS FOR STAVROUPOLI EXTENSION AND PYLEA DEPOT OF THESSALONIKI METRO NETWORK” and the place of provision of the services is: THESSALONIKI – GREECE. Service Category No. 12 (Annex XVIIA of Directive 2004/17/ΕC).

The present Summary Contract Notice is about the award of a framework agreement and the conclusion with the selected Contractor of four, as a maximum, individual contracts for the preparation of designs.

The scope of the Contract is the preparation of geological and geotechnical surveys and designs in the framework of Thessaloniki Metro and, in particular, the following scopes:

(a) Extension to Evosmos:

The extension begins after the forestation of the NEW RAILWAY STATION of Thessaloniki Metro Base Project and is held towards Evosmos; the length of the alignment is approximately 4.5km and includes four (4) stations. The train stabling area is also included in the above length.

The following works are foreseen to be executed in this area: a) geological surveys and a geological design, and b) geotechnical surveys which shall include borehole drillings accompanied by geological and geotechnical field works and laboratory tests, as well as scheduling of surveys, presentation of the results and evaluation of the geotechnical surveys.

(b) Extension to Stavroupoli:

This extension begins from DIMOKRATIAS Station of Thessaloniki Metro Base Project and is headed towards Efkarpia; the length of the alignment is approximately 5.3km and includes five (5) stations. Even though geological and geotechnical surveys and designs have already been prepared for this extension, they must be supplemented and completed.

In order to accommodate the needs of Thessaloniki Metro extensions to Evosmos and Stavroupoli, Pylea Depot needs to be expanded. This expansion shall occupy the NE end of the existing Depot under construction and shall cover an area of approximately 51,000m2. Geotechnical surveys shall be carried out in this area and they shall include borehole drillings accompanied by geological and geotechnical field works and laboratory tests, as well as scheduling of surveys, presentation of the results and evaluation of the geotechnical surveys.

The Contract is drawn based on the agreement governing public contracts, cannot be divided into parts, while alternative proposals shall not be considered.

Pre-estimated Fee:
Overall fee: 2,825,000.00€ (VAT excluded)

Contract Duration or Deadline for the Execution:
