Riga
Airport has announced the first stage of construction procurement – the
qualification of applicants for the construction of the Airport's new
terminal. The purpose
of the procurement is to choose a builder who will construct the new
building of the passenger terminal of Riga Airport, the baggage handling
and sorting complex, new access roads, a multi-storey car park and the
connection of the Airport with the
Rail Baltica station.
Local
and foreign construction companies or their associations are invited to
participate in the tender for the right to build the new terminal of
Riga Airport. Applicants
must have a minimum annual net turnover of at least 60 million euros
during the three previous years and must be able to demonstrate stable
financial and economic performance indicators. Requirements are also set
for construction experience: applicants will
have to prove that they, as the main executors of the contract, have
been able to build a certain amount of construction in similar type of
facilities in recent years. The builder's experience in the construction
or reconstruction of roads, streets, squares
and bridges, experience in working with the building information model
(BIM) and the possibility of attracting a team of qualified and
experienced specialists who take responsibility for the management of
all construction work processes will also be evaluated.
The
deadline for submitting applications for the qualification round is
13/12/2023 12:00 (UK time), tender documentation is available at: https://ecepp.ebrd.com/delta/noticeSearchResults.html
The
planned construction scope of the new terminal is 45,000 sqm, but the construction costs are estimated at 167 million euros.
The project will be
financed by attracting funds from the European Bank for Reconstruction
and Development, other international financial institutions and credit
institutions.
The
FIDIC Yellow Book contract is expected to be signed with the builder,
and the project is planned to achieve the BREEAM Excellent level of the
sustainability certificate.
Construction of the new terminal is scheduled to begin in the third
quarter of 2024 and be completed by the end of 2028. It is planned that
construction will take place in several stages and that Riga Airport
will be able to work at full capacity during the
entire construction period.
On
24 November, the Airport will hold an Open Day for the interested
applicants. The designers of the new terminal “One Works, Sintagma,
Vektors T” from Italy, as well
as the project management group of Riga Airport will participate in it.
The participants of the event will have the opportunity to familiarize
themselves more closely with the developed construction design and its
solutions, as well as receive answers to questions
before submitting proposals.
