• Consolidation of all technical contributions: 2029
• Project completion, documentation: 2030
• Start of project component 3 - Implementation: 2030

At the time of contract signing, there is no binding schedule and thus no binding contract deadlines. The contractor is required to submit a project schedule with intermediate deadlines for relevant milestones within four weeks of contract signing. This plan will cover all services up to the handover, even if only partial services are initially commissioned. The basis for this plan is the schedule created by the client in the tender.

For the review of results of a service phase by the client before release, a review period of approximately 15 working days is to be expected.

The core scope of work for this tender involves general planning and project management services for the procedural implementation of land acquisition to develop an ecologically and socially sustainable "green" industrial and commercial area.

The Statement of Work (SOW) primarily includes the following basic services, largely adhering to the HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) service profiles:

• Land Use Plan: Covers service phases 1-3, including preliminary drafts for early public participation, drafts for public display, and plans for resolution.
• Development Plan: Encompasses service phases 1-3, covering preliminary drafts, public display drafts, and resolution plans.
• Environmental Impact Study: Includes service phases 1-4, focusing on clarifying tasks, determining scope, basic data collection, and producing preliminary and coordinated versions.
• Traffic Facilities Planning: Addresses service phases 1-9 for both internal and external development.
• Technical Equipment in Traffic Facilities: Covers service phases 1-9 for specific plant groups (wastewater, water, gas; high current; telecommunications and information technology) related to internal and external development.
• Open Space Planning: Involves service phases 1-9.
• Project Management: Specifically for land acquisition.

Many of these services are subject to staged commissioning, with initial phases commissioned first.

Optional services may include:

• Accompaniment of a deviation procedure (Zielabweichungsverfahren) to integrate the project into regional planning.
• Landscape Plan.
• Green Structure Plan.
• Engineering Structures: If required for water supply, wastewater disposal, hydraulic engineering, gas supply, or other engineering structures for traffic facilities, potentially for nature and landscape protection reasons.

The project emphasizes an integrative approach with regular bi-weekly Jour-Fix meetings for coordination.
