2.1 Procedure

Title : Geotechnical ground surveys and laboratory services.
Description : Innlandet county needs assistance in geotechnical ground surveys and laboratory services.  Parallel framework agreements are planned with 2 tenderers.
Procedure identifier : 68188b2d-2568-4303-87ae-2376dc0afb98
Internal identifier : 2025/15079
Type of procedure : Open
The procedure is accelerated : no
Justification for the accelerated procedure :
Main features of the procedure : Innlandet county needs assistance in geotechnical ground surveys and laboratory services.    The assignments will vary slightly in extent. This depends on grants for projects that require this type of survey and what types of ground and laboratory surveys each project requires.     See the Norwegian Public Roads Administration ́s handbook V222 Geotechnical Field Handbook for an overview of relevant field assignments and how procedures shall be followed. Most of the field surveys will be ground drilling from test drilling rigs, such as total probes, mountain control drilling and sample takings in uncompact masses. There can also be a need for recording samples using excavators and, in some cases, a need for equipment such as CPTU, pore pressure meters and persistent. There will be approx. few surveys in marine clay.     Laboratory work shall be carried out in accordance with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration ́s handbook R210 Laboratory surveys, chapter 2 (geotechnics). Most of the laboratory assignments are expected to be on disturbed/stirred bag samples, where water content, grain distribution etc. will be most relevant. There may also be a need for other geotechnical surveys, such as examinations of undisturbed samples from sample cylinders etc.    Field work and laboratory work shall be carried out in accordance with Eurocode 7, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration ́s manuals in chapter 1 and NGF ́s messages, as well as other relevant manuals, instructions and guidelines. Tenderers must deal with changes in standards, manuals, instructions and guidelines.
