Banedanmark is commencing an expansion of the catenary system for electrical trains. The current plan
provides for the installation of a catenary system in approximately 550 km of railway in four separate sections
of railway (Copenhagen - Ringsted, Ringsted - Holeby, Lunderskov – Esbjerg and Køge Nord – Næstved), with
the option of adding the installation of a catenary system in an additional approximate 800 km of railway in 5
other sections (Roskilde – Holbæk – Kalundborg, Fredericia – Aarhus, Aarhus – Aalborg (Lindholm), Aalborg (Lindholm) – Frederikshavn and Vejle - Struer).
The Railway Electrification Programme includes 1) installation of a catenary system (including masts,
foundations and geotechnical surveys), 2) installation of the necessary infrastructure to secure the power
supply from the power grid, 3) the alteration, removal and rebuilding of overpasses that do not provide sufficient
overhead space for the catenary system, 4) where necessary, electrical shielding of technical installations and
5) other alterations to the surroundings ofthe railway (e.g. removal of trees).
This contract covers multi-disciplinary consultancy services in the period from 2013 to the closing of the Railway
Electrification Programme around 2021 (or, pending the exercise of the optional sections, around 2024). The
contract includes all consultancy services necessary to carry out the total installation, such as a) preparation
of tender documents for the coming Design-Build-Maintain contracts regarding the above mentioned Nos. 1, 2
and 5 (Banedanmark plans to carry out the tenders on the basis of functional requirements), b) assistance in
carrying out the tenders and c) assistance, including supplier supervision, during the Design and Build phases.
A part of the Consultant's work will regard assisting Banedanmark with interface handling (both internal and
external interfaces between the different projects, e.g. the København – Ringsted project, the Signalling
Programme and the Fehmarnbelt Project), stakeholder management and authority management (e.g. regarding
safety approval).The Consultant will be responsible for specifying the actual content of the consultancy service
in cooperation with Banedanmark as the Railway Electrification Programme moves forward. In relation to this it
should be noted that, due to the schedule of the programme and the grouping of a number of projects into one
programme, a small part of the required consultancy work related to the Railway Electrification Programme is
already being, has been, or will be undertaken by other consultants, for instance consultants appointed in other programmes and projects. The above is only a very general description.
