SECTION II: OBJECT OF THE CONTRACT
II.1) DESCRIPTION
II.1.1) Title attributed to the contract by the contracting entity: The
Signalling Programme - Signalling system contract for the S-bane for both
Infrastructure and Onboard Equipment.
II.1.2) Type of contract and location of works, place of delivery or of
performance: Services.
Service category: No 07.
NUTS code: DK0.
II.1.3) The notice involves: A public contract.
II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): In January 2009
the Danish Parliament decided to fund a 18 000 000 000 DKK replacement
programme of renewing all Danish railway signalling before 2021 – both on
the mainlines and regional lines (fjernbane) and on the Copenhagen S-bane
(S-bane).
This notice regards the contract for the renewal of the S-bane signalling
system.
The contract will contain two main parts – one regarding the renewal of
the signalling infrastructure and one regarding the renewal of the onboard
train control. Certain elements of the two main parts will be similar to a
framework contract, hence also allowing for example all rolling stock
owners operating on the S-bane (see section VI.3, no 11 on which
contracting entities/companies who has an option to buy from the supplier)
to purchase onboard train control etc. from the winning supplier.
It is expected that the tender documents will be submitted around February
2010, that the contracts will be signed in the first half of 2011 and that
the new signalling system shall be in normal operation on the whole of the
S-bane by the end of 2020. The new signalling system is expected to be in
normal operation on the Northern line by the end of 2014.
The contract will be a Design-Build-Maintain contract and will in total
contain the following overall deliveries:
— Train Control – a CBTC (Communication Based Train Control) system (both
infrastructure and onboard) including the necessary data communication
system between infrastructure and rolling stock.
— Fitment of existing rolling stock including yellow fleet with onboard
CBTC.
— Interlockings for the whole S-bane.
— Traffic Management System (located in a new Traffic Control Center (a
building). The civil works for the Traffic Control Center is not a part of
the contract).
— New point machines for the whole S-bane.
— Train detection.
— Civil works related to the construction of radio masts, equipment cabins
and the like.
— Power supply from feeding points.
— Maintenance (1st, 2nd and 3rd line) for both infrastructure and on-board
equipment (the duration will be specified in the tender documents but is
presupposed to be for several years).
The contract also includes related services such as design, testing,
documentation, training, authority approval (e.g. safety approvals) for
both the infrastructure and the onboard train control as well as
decommissioning and removal of existing signalling equipment for the
infrastructure.General information about the S-bane (layout, track
kilometers etc.) can be found at www.bane.dk (press English > choose The
Signalling Programme > choose Tenders regarding signalling system
deliveries > choose S-bane).
