Norway - Services related to water pollution

Description

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Division Transport and Community, Section Climate and Environment (hereafter called the contracting authority), would like tenders for the delivery of lake surveys in water that is affected by roads, with an emphasis on the affect of salt and some environmental toxins. In addition there is an option for surveys of biological quality elements in fresh water, micro plastics, and sediment samples from the same lakes.The contracting authority will present a list of the lakes. Surveys will be carried out in approx. 20 lakes a year, with sample taking in both the early summer and late autumn (depending on costs), and these will rotate so that over four years all the lakes will have had samples taken at least once. The plan is that there will be an annual survey provided there is sufficient financing each year. There can be double the number of surveys in the autumn of the first year.
