Engineering Services for Natural Hazard Management in Switzerland

The Swiss national roads face challenges from natural hazards, which pose varying degrees of threat to certain sections of the network. These hazards include avalanches, rockfalls, landslides, mudflows, and other geological events. The Federal Roads Office (OFROU), specifically its Estavayer-le-Lac branch, is tasked with protecting national roads from these natural threats. To achieve this, they are seeking a specialized firm with expertise in natural hazard management. The contract is divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers the areas of the Territorial Unit II in the cantons of Geneva (GE), Vaud (VD), and Fribourg (FR); Lot 2 covers the areas of Territorial Units IX and I in the cantons of Vaud (VD), Neuchâtel (NE), Bern (BE), and Jura (JU). Bidders are not required to submit offers for both lots; they can choose to bid on one or both. If a bidder submits offers for both lots, they must indicate their preference order at the time of submission. A bidder may be awarded both lots if they meet all the tender requirements.
