Germany – Construction work for railways and cable transport systems – Einsatz von Stopfmaschinen im Gleisnetz der Hamburger Hafenbahn

A framework agreement is to be concluded for the performance of mechanical tamping works, including the use of a ballast ploughing machine on the rail network of the Hamburger Hafenbahn. This is to be concluded with the common understanding that the performance of tamping works on tracks and switches requires a high degree of precision, expertise, and mutual trust. The aim of the cooperation is to sustainably ensure the performance and operational safety of the track facilities and to optimally combine economic, qualitative, and organisational requirements. The contracting entity and the executing companies pursue the common goal of implementing all works in a cooperative and transparent cooperation. Open information exchange, constructive coordination, and a cooperative approach form the basis for an efficient, economical, and disruption-free provision of services. Particular emphasis is placed on the economic and high-quality execution of the tamping works. The parties involved commit to using modern working methods, qualified personnel, and suitable machines to ensure a high level of execution quality. The negotiated procedure with prior qualification has been chosen as the procedure to optimise contract design through negotiations with the companies. The aim is to create a long-term contract. To this end, the details of the design of the framework agreement (call-off and performance obligation, call-off system, number of contractors, price adjustment index, temporal components) are to be made the subject of negotiations. This is to highlight the attractiveness of the HPA as a long-term contracting partner in order to achieve economically advantageous conditions in the long term. Currently, it is planned to conclude a framework agreement with a maximum of two companies per lot at the respective offered unit prices. The value of an individual order will be at most 300,000.00 EUR (net). Type of works: The use of tamping machines is planned for DUA tamping works as well as for tamping works within the framework of new construction measures. Tamping machines are usually ordered with at least 3 months' notice. In principle, depending on the lot and the performance to be provided, the use of universal, track, or switch tamping machines or two-way tamping machines is to be provided. Lot 1: Use of universal, track, or switch tamping machines for radii from 190 m including the use of columns in connection with the ballast plough for profile-accurate filling and creating a clean ballast edge as well as the removal of excess ballast from tongue devices, frogs, radlenkers and switch channels and the creation of the profile-accurate snow fans under the tongue devices. Lot 2: Use of universal, track, or switch tamping machines for radii from 190 m possibly including ballast plough, where here the creation of a clean ballast edge as well as the removal of excess ballast is carried out by the contracting authority or third parties commissioned by the contracting authority. Lot 3: Use of universal, track, switch or two-way tamping machines for radii from 140 m including the use of columns in connection with the ballast plough for profile-accurate filling and creating a clean ballast edge as well as the removal of excess ballast from tongue devices, frogs, radlenkers and switch channels and the creation of the profile-accurate snow fans under the tongue devices. Lot 4: Use of universal, track, switch or two-way tamping machines for radii from 140 m possibly including ballast plough, where here the creation of a clean ballast edge as well as the removal of excess ballast is carried out by the contracting authority or third parties commissioned by the contracting authority.
