Description

The realisation of Aarhus ReWater is expected to run until mid-2028 when the resource plant is expected to be finished. Aarhus ReWater will be built in Aarhus on a site of around 12 hectares (land reclamation) near Tangkrogen and Marselisborg marina. The final location of the resource plant has not yet been determined. Three possible locations have previously been discussed; however, a recent political decision reduced the number to 2. The 2 alternative locations will be evaluated during the 1st planning phase comprising the EIA study.The plant is expected to be expanded on an ongoing basis and to be fully expanded in 2060, when its capacity is expected to be up to 600 000 PE, corresponding to the expected population in 2060, based on the latest forecast as well as business and industry development.The project's total financial framework is expected to be 1 700 000 000-2 000 000 000 DKK, which will include all expenses related to the project. The location of Aarhus ReWater on reclaimed land in the transition area between land and sea, city and harbour, marina and event area, calls for an adaptation of the plant that goes beyond its mere utility value and incorporates the surroundings – the requirements and possibilities of the citizens — into the area.This calls for a process consortium that can assist in realising the project.Since existing solutions in the market cannot fulfil Aarhus Vand’s vision and high ambitions for Aarhus ReWater, Aarhus Vand wants to build the world’s most resource-efficient wastewater resource recovery facility (WRRF) through an innovation partnership. Aarhus Vand A/S wants to tender turnkey contracts according to a model that ensures room for innovation and development — and selection of the optimal technologies — in the initial design phase, until project and budget details are finalised in the project planning phase prior to execution and that allows a more flexible team formation. Furthermore, Aarhus Vand wants to be able to influence team formation, thereby ensuring that a strong process consortium and a strong turnkey contractor are chosen before the 2 parties are brought together in a turnkey contractor team.After an initial innovation phase, the process consortium is to transfer to the 2 turnkey contractor teams implementing the RRP (waste water plant – 600 000 PE). Accordingly, this tender procedure concerns a flexible agreement including consultancy services in connection with Aarhus ReWater.Process consortium is used here to designate the consultant or team of consultants associated with the project. The term expresses the fact that the process consortium is expected to possess the wide and professional depth of competencies needed to contribute to the realisation of future resource facilities – Aarhus ReWater – through innovative solutions. The term thus does not express a requirement or expectation for a particular legal structure.
