Summary
Machine-generated summary
The contract covers seagrass planting works, using single plants or plants on ropes, within a 325 m long and 7 m wide corridor (about 2300 square metres) on the Ostwind 3 cable route between KP18.1 and KP18.4. It includes prerequisites and follow-up: an engineered coarse sediment layer of around 20 to 30 cm, an execution plan, permits from the authorities (STALU VP, WSA Ostsee), daily marking of the work area, and inspection of completed work by underwater video (ROV or drone). Seagrass shoots and geotextile ropes are handed over by a third-party supplier at a nearby harbour: Thiessow, Freest or Lubmin. Work may be done by divers under DGUV Regel 101-023 or by ROV with proven references, starting by 1 June 2027 and completed by 31 July 2027.

Description
The main target for this operation is the planting of seagrass, either as a single plant or/and as a rope consisting plants. Employer is requesting the Bidder to submit a quotation for the execution of seagrass planting works. The designated location for the seagrass planting is at Ostwind 3 cable route between KP18.1 - 18.4, which is a 325m long and 7m wide (about 2300m²) corridor. Seagrass planting will require the following pre-requisites and follow-ups: A consolidated coarse sediment layer of approx. 20 - 30 cm thickness (engineered material), An execution plan, prepared early enough to achieve the permit in time A permit by authorities (STALU VP, WSA Ostsee), Sufficient plant material seagrass shoots (subject to availability, see details below) to be suitable for planting a harbor nearby (either Thiessow (8km), Freest (11km) or Lubmin (15km)) shall be used for hand-over of seagrass shoots/geotextile ropes with seagrass from Third Party supplier In case it is required the work area per operational day shall be first marked by rods/subsurface buoys attached to small ground weights prior to planting to allow for correct planting spatially and regarding shoot density/m². In case of non-fins-diving solutions it can be done different. shifting of work site day by day shall be enabled by installation of a remote-controlled sub-surface marker buoy with release system on last position of executed work, respectively work executed on previous days shall be inspected by means of underwater video (ROV or UW-drone) repeatedly General assumptions about the task: Total impact area to be restored will be ~2.300m² Work can be executed by divers in accordance with the requirements of DGUV Regel 101-023.

Terms of the procedure
Small firms
The buyer does not mark this procedure as suitable for small and medium-sized firms.
likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €800,000
€536,000 to €904,000
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 85% of their published estimate, half of them between 67% and 113%, based on 54 awards of the last 3 years.
Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
