Introduction 1.1 General information about the project The 22 km long Follo Line Project includes a new double track line between Oslo Central Station and the public transport hub at Ski. The project includes a 19.5 km railway tunnel (twin bore), extensive works at Oslo Central Station, construction of a new station at Ski and necessary realignment of the existing Østfold Line (on the approach to Oslo Central Station with a new tunnel and between the new Ski station and the tunnel). The Follo Line will be built for speed up to 250 km/hr. The Follo Line Project is split into four EPC contracts: Contract for work in connection with the Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) Contract for TBM driving of the twin Follo Line tunnels Contract for conventional driving of tunnels in Ekebergåsen (the Ekeberg Hill). Contract for the new Ski Station and the surface section from Ski to Langhus. The scheduled start of construction for the project is mid 2014 and completion is scheduled in 2020. Preparatory works at Oslo Central Station and close to Ski Station and preparation of rig areas and access tunnels at Åsland (about midway between Oslo Central Station and Ski Station), and in Klypen (close to Oslo Central Station) is scheduled to commence in 2013. In the following description “the Company” shall mean the Norwegian Railroad Authority/Follo Line Project, and “the Contract” shall mean the contract for which this Prequalification Questionnaire applies.
