There will be a joint tender- and evaluation-process for these two projects. There will be one contract award with two separate contracts and associated progress plans. The Contractor must be able to handle both projects in parallel, when necessary. The planned duration for toll collection on E39 Svegatjørn – Rådal is until 2040. For the E39 Kristiansand – Lyngdal, the planned duration for the toll-collection is 15 years from SFC of each individual toll-station. The contract term for the Solution is 4 years initial term (from commencement date of the maintenance agreement) with an automatically prolonging of the terms with 1 year at a time, unless terminated by the Customer earlier prior to each such prolonging. 1.2 Background The E39 between Svegatjørn (Os) and Rådal (Bergen) will include 3 toll-stations that will be implemented without stop in 2022. The new road on E39 between Kristiansand and Lyngdal, Norway will include 4 toll-stations between Kristiansand and Mandal (time-period 2021-2022) and 3 optional toll-stations between Mandal and Lyngdal (planned to be implemented 2024 – 2025). In the agreement for “Utbygging og finansiering av E39 Svegatjørn – Rådal i Hordaland», dated 12. September 2014, it was decided to establish 3 electronic toll stations on the new road on E39 between Svegatjørn and Rådal, on the existing E39 at Bahus and at Fv5158 Djupvik. The municipalities involved in the project will be Bjørnafjorden and Bergen. The planned Start Fee Collection (SFC) date is 1st September 2022. The current E39-road between Os and Bergen has a very low standard compared to the AADT and its function. The project for the new E39 between Os and Bergen is built with 4 lanes, 2 in each direction and the driving time will be reduced from approximately 35 to 17 minutes. The toll-collection will be in both directions. In the agreement for “Finansiering og utbygging av E39 på strekningen Kristiansand vest- Lyngdal vest i kommunene Kristiansand, Songdalen, Søgne, Mandal, Lindesnes og Lyngdal i Vest-Agder» dated 11th May 2017, it was decided to establish 9 electronic toll stations (later changed to 7) on the new road on E39 between Kristiansand vest – Lyngdal vest. The municipalities involved are Kristiansand, Songdalen, Søgne, Mandal, Lindesnes and Lyngdal in the county of Agder. The new road will improve the accessibility, regularity/availability in particular for heavy vehicles and general considerations related to improvement of traffic safety. 30. October 2020 Page 4 of 18 Invitation to Tender – toll collection solution The project includes a 70 km 4-lane road (2 lanes in each direction) with a speed-limit of 110 km/h, and the driving time will be reduced with approximately 50%. The toll-collection period for this project is planned to 15 years for each toll-station. The toll- collection will be in both directions (4 charging lanes pr. charging point). The scope of this Tender is to procure and establish service and maintenance for the procured Charging Point Equipment (under SSA-T and SSA-V). The procurement for
