Differences between building and construction Building: - The asset is marketable - Buildings are isolated objects - The building is projected after choice of location - Simple regulatory process - Few neighbours - Only building activity at the building site Road constr.: - The asset is not marketable - The road system is a network, where each road must be seen alike - Road construction must be projected before the site is acquired - Complicated regulatory process - Numerous neighbours - Other activities at the construction site (traffic), when existing roads are reconstructed

Important choices in our process: Public ownership Parallel tender considered, but abandoned Tender material inspired by Norwegian concept Type of tender with competitive dialogue

Important requirements - construction: Observation of acquisition boundaries Observation of official autorizations Observation of road standards Usage of low-noise asphalt Important requirements – operation and maintenance: Road must match the rest of the road network Road users must not experience a difference Usage of operation specifications Construction requirements convert into performance and condition requirements

Important challenges, that are currently handled: Payment model, including fine/bonus Handling risks Co-operation model / conflict management Assignment criteria Relations with authorities and landowners/neighbours Quality of construction by expiry of contract And…. How many will give a bid?
