Introduction 1.1 Project Description The Bergen Light Rail System (also called Bybanen) is projected to run approximately 20 km, with double tracked lines, between the Bergen city centre in the north and Flesland airport in the south. Bybanen is part of the Bergen program for transportation, urban development and the environment, which is a collective effort to coordinate and prioritize public transportation, environmental issues, road construction and foot- and bike paths. The Bergen program is a 20-year plan for the period 2005 to 2025. The first construction stage between Byparken, in the centre of Bergen, and Nesttun terminal runs along approximately 10 km of double track line. This section is completed and in operation. The second construction stage between Nesttun terminal and Rådal, terminating at the Lagunen shopping centre, runs along approximately 3.6 km of double track line. This construction stage is under construction and will be completed by the summer of 2013. This pre-qualification applies to Construction Stage 3 of Bybanen. The stage is planned between Rådal and Bergen airport Flesland and has a length of 7.1 km. The works are projected to start in 2013. The double track shall be constructed as a continuation to the existing track construction starting at Rådal. According to the proposed development plan, the planning area/route extends from the western side of Fanavegen, west of Lagunen shopping centre, through a tunnel under Storheia and continues to a planned stop near Råstøl. After the stop at Råstøl, the route continues through a tunnel under Steinsvikskrenten, across a bridge over Steinsvikvegen and through a tunnel under Feråsen with a stop at Sandslivegen. From Sandslivegen the route ascends to a stop at Sandslimarka, through a short tunnel under Sandslihovden, passes by the gardening store Plantasjen, passes through a culvert under Ytrebygdsvegen to a new stop on the route to Kokstad. After this, the route will follow Ytrebygdsvegen on the right side of the road with a stop at Kokstad and thereafter continue to the Birkeland crossing. At the Birkeland crossing the light rail crosses Flyplassvegen with a stop and public transit terminal at the Birkeland crossing. The route then continues in a curve south of the Telenor Building and Bybanen Utbygging, 09.04.2013 Page 3 of 16 C14 Flesland Competition Document crosses below Flyplassvegen in culverts and tunnels towards the west. The route continues on the north side of Flyplassvegen to a stop at Kokstadflaten. Shortly after the stop at Kokstadflaten, a track crossing has been planned for a Light Rail workshop and depot for Bybanen. This is planned north of Flyplassvegen. An area of 80 acres is planned for the workshop and depot. From Kokstadflaten, the route continues through a tunnel under the existing parking area, located east of the existing terminal at Bergen airport, and terminates at the new terminal area for the airport, south of the existing terminal. The final stop for the light rail shall be established in the basement of the new terminal at Bergen airport. The route for construction stage 3 deviates from the first two construction stages in that it will have a segregated route running independently of established traffic arteries. The county of Hordaland took formal responsibility for the planning and building of Bybanen from the second construction stage. The builder responsibility of the county is handled by the Bergen Light Rail Project Office (called Bybanen Utbygging in Norwegian) which is placed directly under the Chief executive of the County Council. Bergen Light Rail is financed through the Bergen program (road tolls and public funding). Future construction stages are being planned, but are not formally decided and funding is yet to be approved. 1.2 Scope and objective of the procurement For procurement of tunnel work related to the procurement of contract C14.
