Switzerland – Construction project management services – Anlage Schützenmatte, Bern Bollwerk, Umgestaltung Schützenmatte, Gesamtprojektleitung (GPL)

The subject of the tender is the award of a mandate for overall project management (GPL) for the transformation of the Schützenmatte through the SIA phases 31 to 53. The GPL will, on behalf of Tiefbau Stadt Bern, take operational leadership of the overall project and ensure the targeted implementation of the project objectives from planning to completion. The GPL's task includes, in particular, the integral management of a complex, inner-city transformation process. The Schützenmatte is characterised by an extraordinarily high functional, social and political density. As a centrally located urban space, it serves simultaneously as a traffic hub, meeting place, cultural attraction and social hotspot. The GPL ensures that the transformation takes place taking into account these complex framework conditions. This includes, in particular, the diverse use requirements, the high public and political attention and the demanding integration into existing urban structures and processes. Central importance is also attached to close coordination with third-party projects. In particular, there are significant dependencies on the Zukunft Bahnhof Bern (ZBB) project, which will occupy the space for several years and significantly influence the timing of the transformation. Interfaces with further third-party projects (e.g. traffic regime, parking, adjacent streets such as Hodlerstrasse, developments in the Eilgutareal area) must also be continuously coordinated. The GPL ensures that these dependencies are identified at an early stage, coordinated and integrated into project management. The GPL acts as a central hub between the client, administrative units, political bodies, security authorities and external actors. It ensures coherent project management and ensures that the transformation is developed and implemented in a professionally sound, politically viable and socially acceptable manner. The detailed tasks and services required of the GPL are explained in more detail in the scope of services (Annex 01). The client assumes a volume of 8,000 hours for the duration of the mandate.
