1) The applicants must note that the application form is signed by them in a legally effective way and that all declarations and documentations stated in the publication are enclosed in their entirety.

If examination shows that more than 5 applicants meet the requested requirements, the office awarding the contract reserves the right to select those applicants which best meet the suitability requirements for submitting proposals.

For evaluation, three references must be submitted on the performance of comparable services.

If more than three references are submitted, the applicant must clearly mark the references that are to be evaluated.

Otherwise the client will evaluate the first three references named.

Comparable services include in particular information on the areas of.

— structure and function of nuclear power plants with boiling water reactors and their systems,

— physical and thermohydraulic processes in the reactor core,

— operation and monitoring of reactor cores.

Required information for references:

— name and address as well as the name of a contact person with telephone number,

— designation of the reference object,

— order value,

— period of service provision,

— description of the service in technical terms as well as scope of the services rendered,

— any letter of recommendation.

The evaluation will be scored as follows: per reference submitted for the areas given

0-2 years = 11 points, 3-4 years = 8 points, 5 years = 5 points, > 5 years = 0 points

Once the individual references have been evaluated, an average score will be calculated as follows: points divided by the number of references evaluated.

The applicants will then be ranked according to their average score.
