1. The lead partner shall have an average annual turnover as prime contractor (defined as billing for works in progress and completed) over the last 5 years of not less than 35 400 000 EUR equivalent.

Additional Requirements in case of tendering for both lots (Lot 1 and Lot 2)

Tenderers are being invited for individual contracts (Lot 1 or Lot 2) or for both contracts/lots. If the Tenderer wants to offer for both lots, he has to state this intention in the Letter of Technical Tender. In that case, he will be, in addition to the above stated qualification criteria, a subject of evaluation for cumulative qualification criteria in terms of average annual turnover and financial resources as follows:

— Average Annual Turnover

The Tenderer shall have an average annual turnover as prime contractor (defined as billing for works in progress and completed) over the last 5 years of not less than 85 000 000 EUR equivalent.

— Financial Resources

The Tenderer shall complete Financial Information provided in Section IV, Tender Forms, and demonstrate that it has access to, or has available liquid assets, unencumbered real assets, lines of credit, and other financial means sufficient to meet the construction cash flow for the contract for a period of 4 (four) months, estimated as less than 16 400 000 EUR equivalent, taking into account the applicant's commitments for other contracts.

In case the Tenderer submits the tenders for both lots, the first step in evaluation process will be to determine whether the Tenderer fulfils the cumulative qualification criteria.

I. Tenderer satisfies the individual and cumulative qualification criteria

If the Tenderer satisfies the individual qualification criteria for lots and cumulative qualification criteria for average annual turnover and financial resources, his tenders will be a subject of detailed technical evaluation.

If both Technical Tenders are substantially responsive, then both Price Tenders will be opened.

If only one Technical Tender is substantially responsive (Lot 1 or Lot 2), only the corresponding Price Tender will be opened. Another Price Tender will be returned unopened.

II. Tenderer satisfies only individual qualification criteria

If the Tenderer satisfies the individual qualification criteria for lots but does not satisfy the cumulative qualification criteria for average annual turnover and financial resources, evaluation of his Technical Tenders will be carried out separately.

If only one Technical Tender is substantially responsive (Lot 1 or Lot 2), only the corresponding Price Tender will be opened. Another Price Tender will be returned unopened.

If both Technical Tenders are substantially responsive, prior to the opening of Price Tenders, the Tenderer will be officially asked in written by the Employer to decide which one of his Price Tenders should be opened and which one will be returned to him unopened.
