Germany – Low-floor buses – Lieferung von 1 batterieelektrischen Niederflur-Gelenkbus

Supply of a total of 1 battery-electric low-floor articulated bus with wheel-hub drive motors; delivery no later than 12 months after contract award. By battery-electric buses, the contracting authority understands vehicles that draw their driving energy exclusively from traction batteries and are charged with electrical energy for operational use via a plug-in system. The contracting authority's operating concept provides for the use of vehicles that can achieve at least 360 km/day with one charge. The buses are to be charged exclusively within the available time windows at the depot (usually during the night); intermediate charging is not generally envisaged. It is pointed out that all communication regarding the project process will be in German language and writing. This means that the applications to participate and the tenders as well as all attachments, evidence, declarations etc. must be submitted in German. The contracting authority explicitly draws attention to the provision of § 55 SektVO to be used, if corresponding tenders are submitted. The contracting authority further points out that the tender documents will provide for the availability of a comprehensively operational workshop for the maintenance and repair of the buses within a radius of a maximum of 30 km (as the crow flies) from the contracting authority's seat; this must be operational by the agreed delivery date at the latest. Details can be found in the specification, which is still in draft form. Updates to the specification are expressly reserved.
