The core scope of work involves planning and implementing the expansion of the existing district heating network in Bad Saulgau to connect a significant portion of the city with sustainable district heating. This includes the execution of planning services for Leistungsphasen 5-9 (HOAI service phases) for the heat generation system of the district heating network and associated facilities, such as ventilation systems and power supply systems.

Key deliverables and responsibilities include:

• Planning and Implementation: Carrying out planning and implementation for Leistungsphasen 5-9 for Technical Equipment across Anlagengruppen 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8.
• Coordination: Coordinating the planned heating center with other specialist planners for building, structural engineering, and traffic (Los 3 and Los 6) to ensure functional and efficient operation, including external systems like truck scales.
• Preparation for Award (LPH 6): This involves determining quantities for service specifications, preparing tender documents (including maintenance services), coordinating interfaces, calculating and controlling costs, and compiling the final tender documents. Special services include developing maintenance planning and organization.
• Assistance in Awarding (LPH 7): This entails obtaining, reviewing, and evaluating offers (rechnerische, technische und wirtschaftliche Prüfung), conducting bidder discussions, comparing tender results with cost calculations, preparing award proposals, and compiling contract documents.
• Project Phases and Milestones: The project is structured into staged commissions, starting with Stufe 1 (LPH 5), followed by Stufe 2 (LPH 6), Stufe 3 (LPH 7), Stufe 4a (LPH 8 and 9 basic expansion), and Stufe 4b (LPH 8 and 9 expansion potential).
• Financial and Sales Activities: Tasks also cover price setting, preparation for sales, sales launch, securing key customers, and acquiring new customers (aiming for 20 GWh, potentially 30 GWh with existing customers).
• Company Integration and Funding: Activities include clarifying framework conditions for KEW's entry into the company, creating a Letter of Intent (LOI), preparing company contracts, making decisions related to KEW's entry, extending the funding period, shifting funds for a realistic project timeline (+2 years), developing a financing plan, and applying for extensions.
• Construction Supervision (LPH 8): Supervision of construction phases for the heating plant and district heating network (BA 1+2) and subsequently for district heating network construction (BA 3+4).

The overall goal is the expansion of the existing district heating network in Bad Saulgau with sustainable energy sources, building upon already completed planning phases (HOAI LPH 2-4) and a feasibility study.
