General information on the justification for signing the contract for the execution phase:NV has already made changes in the interaction phase, which in total meant a price increase of approx. This includes an increased extent of the interaction phase (extended by 8 months), supplementary preliminary surveys and ground surveys, various changes connected to the establishment after the previous contractor and as a result of a long standstill as well as a need for tunnelling. These changes are made pursuant to the PPC §28-1, letters c and d. The changes that shall now be made when signing the contract for the execution phase also have a legal basis in § 28-1 and involve a further estimated price increase of MNOK 1,430 compared with adjusted BBP. These changes can be allocated as follows: -Price increases of approx. MNOK 975 due to unforeseen circumstances, cf. §28-1 (1) letter d. -Price increases of MNOK 220 due to the necessary additional deliveries, cf. § 28-1 (1) letter c. Other changes to MNOK 235 due to changed prerequisites for the contract work after the completed interaction phase and other cost increases, which cannot be seen as significant, cf.§28-1 (1) letter f, cf.§28-2. NV has, when calculating price increases, based on adjusted BBP, as index regulated, cf.§28-1 (2). The price increases include risk disposal and the contractor's mark-up in accordance with the contract. Changes due to unforeseen circumstances: The contracting authority can make changes due to unforeseen circumstances, cf. §28-1 (1) letter d. The price increase due to unforeseen circumstances is estimated to approx. MNOK 975 including risk disposal and mark-up. This sum includes multiple records: Firstly, a number of further changes connected to the creation of previous contractors and long standstill. These changes mean an estimated price increase of approx. MNOK 60. Secondly, several changes that lead to increased scope, and which have become necessary as a result of changed requirements, including changes in regulations, new requirements and changes from the municipalities as well as changed requirements in the manuals. These changes mean an estimated price increase of approx. MNOK 70. This includes: -Amended bypass system at Være South -Handbook changes regarding railings in open air -Handling surface water -Municipal water and sewage alterations Thirdly, it has become necessary to make a number of changes in the contract work, which is due to, for example, ground surveys, scans and test excavations having uncovered further needs. This results in an estimated price increase of approx. MNOK 465 and includes: -Increased extent of light masses, mass surplus and mass deficit -Need for lime stabilisation -Increased scope of strossing -Proven quick clay -Need for blasting ditches for drains and surface water Fourthly, it includes the necessary changes in the extent of options for Malvik municipality, which were first clarified in the interaction phase. This results in an estimated price increase of approx. MNOK 100. The construction period has been extended for approx. 1 year at the end of the contract. This is due to the fact that the extent of the contract has increased due to unforeseen circumstances. This change will result in an estimated price increase of approx. MNOK 280, which includes, among other things, increased costs for rigging and operation and traffic management. These are all changes that have become necessary as a result of unforeseen circumstances and which NV could not foresee. The changes do not mean that the contract ́s overall character is changed and the value of the changes lies within the limit of 50% of the original estimated BBP. Changes due to the necessary additional deliveries: Pursuant to §28-1 (1) letter c, changes are allowed that apply for the necessary additional deliveries, which are not included in the original contract. Changes in the project concerning the necessary additional deliveries are firstly related to the increase in the extent of the engineering design services. During the interaction phase it has been determined that the extent of the remaining engineering design was greater than NV had used to prepare the tender documentation. A natural part of the interaction phase has been optimisations of the contract work, which also involves a need for re-engineering design. This change will result in an estimated price increase of MNOK 140, including risk settlement and mark-up. Secondly, it has been revealed during the interaction phase that requirements from the Government Administrator implies a need to set requirements for dimensioning and fishing measures, Sagelva flood drains. This change will result in an estimated price increase of MNOK 50 including risk disposal and mark-up. Thirdly, other additional work has been ordered that have become necessary. Applies to changed guide width K31 Vulu bridge, follow-up/updating fats rules and the need for extra stop lay-bys. These changes mean an estimated price increase of approx. MNOK 30 including risk disposal and mark-up. In total the additional work involves a price increase of approx. MNOK 220. These are additional work that Hæhre must carry out as an integrated part of the other contract work in the execution phase of E6 RS. This additional delivery does not mean that the contract ́s overall character is changed and the amount is far within the limit of 50% of the original estimated BBP. Other alterations that are not significant: Nye Veier also needs to make some other changes that are more unclear if can be justified in unforeseen circumstances or considered additional deliveries in the procurement regulations. These are, nevertheless, changes that cannot be seen as significant, and these can therefore be legally made, cf. § 28-1 (1) letter f, cf. § 28-2. Nye Veier points out that the contract is an interaction contract, assuming that a number of changes will be made in the interaction phase compared to what is outlined in the tender documentation. It was also clear from the tender documentation for this contract that the parties in the interaction phase should define the final work extent, and it was clearly stated that changes could be made in connection with the contract work. The changes that are now wanted in this project and the size of these are clearly within what the tenderers must reckon on in such an interaction contract. This firstly applies that the contractor's operational system requires an increased need for site roads and less possibility for reuse than Nye Veier had assumed in its estimates. This is due to a higher complexity than what was expected and are changes that have been necessary after the interaction phase. As a result of these changes the price increase is estimated to approx. As described in the description of the procurement, the parties have agreed, secondly, on reductions in the work extent to an estimated value of approx. NOK 110 million. This concerns net savings as a result of optimisations Sveberg, removal of BREEAM requirements in the contract, that the Reppe junction has been removed and changes to the execution of the dimensioning frostdypde. Thirdly, the target price for the parties has come up with a further price increase compared with BBP of approx. NOK 225 million, which corresponds to approx. 10% of the adjusted BBP. This concerns cost increases that Nye Veier is unable to link directly to the specific changes that are made in the project. Nye Veier points out that in such a project it is difficult to allocate exact cost records to all the concrete changes made in the project. Nye Veier has not given a target price in the competition, but only an estimated contract value/estimated BBP that Nye Veier has reserved the right to change in the competition. It was decided that the parties in the interaction phase would determine a target price for the project, where considerations should be taken into account of changes in the contract work. There is no direct link between the estimated BBP and target price in the contract and the parties therefore have further flexibility in determining the target price. Determining a target price of NOK 3,100 million, therefore, does not mean any significant change under any circumstances. The alterations that have been made and must be assessed against § 28-1 (1) letter f, are not changes that could have bearing on the outcome of the competition, cf. § 28-2 letter a. Nor are there changes that involve a significant expansion of the contract ́s scope, cf. § 28-2 letter c. These are changes that, in accordance with their nature and size, are clearly within what the tenderers had to expect in this project. The changes that must be assessed against § 28-1 (1) letter f also do not change the financial balance of the contract, cf. § 28-2 letter b. New Roads points out that when the conditions for the contract work are changed together with what Nye Veier had originally assumed, it will also be necessary in the target price to take into account the cost increases that these changes lead to. This happens precisely to maintain the economic balance of the contract. Changes that do not have a cost impact: There is also a change in the bonus model. The original regulation assumes that the contractor is entitled to 50% of the savings, if the final target price is lower than the agreed target price, but with a limit of 5% of the agreed target price. The change is based on a maximum cap of a bonus equivalent to 5% of the agreed target price, but so that only 4% are still connected to whether the target price is reached. The remaining 1% will be connected to the achievement of two milestones in the contract. These are milestones that are considered very demanding to reach and that are important for Nye Veier in order to get previous traffic congestion on the road. Nye Veier does not consider this a significant change, cf. § 28-2.
