Complete reconstruction of the apartment building at Silikaadi 17, Võru city

The successful bidder will be checked for exclusion grounds. The notice says the exact conditions and the checking procedure are described in the project brief, so the precise exclusion grounds must be verified in the tender documents. The bidder must confirm that neither it nor a joint bidder has the exclusion grounds listed in section 95(1)(1–3 and 5), taking section 95(2) into account; that neither it nor a joint bidder is bankrupt, in liquidation, in bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise suspended under the law of its country of establishment; that it has no tax, environmental charge, social security or similar public-law arrears under the law of its country of establishment; and that it is not a related person to the technical consultant advising the apartment building reconstruction beneficiary. The bidder must also prove, with a Tax and Customs Board extract, that the average salary of its employees during the reference period was above 70% of the average salary for the same period in the relevant field.

The bidder must be registered in the construction activity area for general building works, indoor climate systems, and water supply or sewerage systems inside or connected to the building. For electrical works, the bidder must also have a registration in the electrical works activity area for construction, including installation of electrical installations. The registration requirement does not apply to a foreign bidder, but in that case the bidder must prove equivalent competence with an equivalent document if needed. The bidder’s net turnover for the financial year preceding the submission of the tender must be at least equal to twice the estimated contract value excluding VAT. In addition, the bidder must accept that by the contract date, or within 10 calendar days after signature at the latest, it must be able to provide a performance guarantee amounting to 5% of the contract value; the guarantee must remain valid throughout the construction period. Depositing the corresponding amount into the beneficiary’s or a notary’s account is also accepted, provided that the beneficiary remains the entitled party throughout the construction period. Within the 60 months before the start of the procurement procedure, the bidder must have carried out at least one comparable construction project with a value of at least half of the estimated contract value. A comparable project means the construction, extension, or full reconstruction of a building as the main contractor, and it must have included at least the construction or reconstruction of the building’s load-bearing and external envelope structures, the construction or reconstruction of a heat-recovery mechanical ventilation system, and the construction or reconstruction of a heating system. To prove the project, the bidder must provide the project name, timing, value, information on the nature of the works, and either the number of the occupancy notice or occupancy permit in the building register, or a copy of the handover and acceptance certificate signed by the client and contractor. The team must include a project manager with at least level 6 professional qualification as a construction engineer specialising in building construction or level 6 qualification as a construction manager specialising in general construction; a site manager with at least level 5 professional qualification as a construction foreman specialising in general construction works; a ventilation and heating systems specialist with at least level 6 qualification as a heating, ventilation and cooling engineer with the relevant management competences or level 6 qualification as a construction manager specialising in indoor climate systems; a water supply and sewerage systems specialist with at least level 6 qualification as a water supply and sewerage engineer with management competence or level 6 qualification as a construction manager specialising in the construction of water supply and sewerage systems inside or connected to buildings; and a person involved in electrical works with at least a class B competence certificate or level 6 qualification as an electrical engineer in consumer electrical installations. All of these persons must be involved in the performance of the works. For a foreign bidder, an equivalent qualification is sufficient. The bidder must have a quality management system in the construction field that complies with at least EVS-EN ISO 9001 and an environmental management system that complies with at least EVS-EN ISO 14001, or equivalent conditions.
