Outdoor Area Construction and Landscaping

This public tender from Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, concerns the construction and landscaping of outdoor areas. The project involves earthworks, specifically the removal of 1,000 m³ of soil, installation of a 32 m³ infiltration trench, 300 meters of drainage pipes, and a pumping station. Paving works encompass 750 m² of water-bound pavement. The tender also includes installing 70 meters of retaining walls (H80 to H205 cm), supplying and installing 60 meters of steel railings (H100 cm), and providing 180 bicycle racks and 11 benches. Landscaping components include creating 1,300 m² of planted areas, planting 14 trees, 50 meters of hedges, and 750 ground cover plants.

The scale of the project is moderate, requiring the handling of significant quantities of earth and installation of drainage infrastructure. The diversity of tasks, from earthworks to hard landscaping and planting, suggests the need for a contractor with a broad range of capabilities or a well-coordinated team of subcontractors. The inclusion of a pumping station indicates that the project may involve addressing specific drainage challenges, adding a layer of technical complexity. The deadline leaves approximately four weeks for tender preparation.

Considering the lack of published value, contractors will need to perform their own detailed cost analysis based on the quantities provided. The requirement to ‘deliver and mount’ specified street furniture indicates supply chain management will be a factor. The specifications provided are relatively detailed, allowing for a reasonably accurate estimate.
