Finland – Engineering design services – Vesiliikuntakeskus AaltoAlvarin peruskorjauksen vaihe 4, rakennesuunnittelu

Jyväskylän Tilapalvelu invites tenders for the design services for phase 4 of the renovation of the AaltoAlvari Swimming Centre. The different design disciplines of the project will be procured as separate tenders. The project targets the original 1955 swimming hall of AaltoAlvari and the spaces of the 1964 and 1975 buildings connected to it. The renovation area includes, among other things, a 25-meter pool, spectator, dressing, washing, sauna and technical spaces, café and lobby spaces, and spaces related to water treatment. AaltoAlvari is a historically significant and protected building complex designed by Alvar Aalto. The oldest parts of the building are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the Aalto campus of the University of Jyväskylä and the Aalto Works complex. The protection values and the distinctive features of the building must be taken into account in all design solutions. The aim of the renovation is to extend the technical service life of the building and to renovate and modernise its structures, spaces, building services systems and water treatment systems. The design must also take into account the continuation of AaltoAlvari's operations as widely as possible during the construction period, as well as the phasing of the implementation and the minimisation of downtime. The design assignment includes, to the extent defined in the tender documents and their appendices, project planning, general and detailed design, preparation of tender documents, design tasks during construction, and design tasks during the acceptance and warranty period. The aim of the project planning is to produce the plans, reports, alternative comparisons, phasing solutions and cost information required for the project decision, which are coordinated between the different design disciplines. The approved project plan forms the basis for the general and detailed design. The project's target schedule is: approval of the project plan 10/2027, general and detailed design 2028, tendering and contractor selection 2028, construction 2029–2030, completion of phase 4 7/2030. The project planning phase forms an independent phase, after which the client will make a separate decision on the continuation of the project to the detailed design. The client is not bound to order the later phases of the assignment if a project decision on the implementation of the project is not made.
