001301 The following specifications and requirements regarding the manner in which the service is to be provided are deemed to have been agreed and are included in the unit prices of the relevant items.

001301A Description of the service

Summary description of the service: This project concerns the Chief of Mission Residence (CMR) of the United States of America at Weidlichgasse 1-5, 1130 Vienna, Austria. The residence, a landmarked villa built in 1931, was acquired by the U.S. government in 1950 and is listed on the Culturally Significant Buildings Register of the US State Department listed.

The aim of the project is to implement the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) in order to ensure barrier-free access to the residence. The plan is to install an elevator with a vestibule in front of it (vestibule) to provide barrier-free access from the garden level via the first floor (semi-public area) to the upper floor (private area). There is currently no barrier-free connection between the floors, which makes it impossible for people with limited mobility in particular to use the building.

For the elevator construction, the supply lines for electricity, water, sewage and gas in the affected area must first be relocated. The elevator will be housed in an external tower made of a steel and glass construction, as will the vestibule in front of the elevator. The latter serves as a thermal airlock to protect against the ingress of cold and moisture. Access is controlled via the outer door of the vestibule. To ensure privacy, the glass surfaces of the elevator car are made of electrochromic or frosted glass. The materials and technical standards used comply with European norms, which also meet the requirements of the ABA.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING:

1. Installing the power supply for the elevator Installation of a separate power supply for the elevator, including all necessary cables, protective devices and connections to the main distribution board.

2. Lighting and control in the vestibule Installation of lighting equipment in the vestibule.

Integration of a control system (motion detector) for efficient lighting control.

3. Electric heating Supply and installation of electric radiators for the elevator shaft and electric underfloor heating for the vestibule.

Installation of a control system (e.g. thermostats or automatic controllers) for temperature control.

4. Dismantling existing electrical installations Professional dismantling and removal of existing electrical installations, in particular the alarm contacts on two windows that are being converted into elevator doors.

5. Reinstalling the alarm contacts New installation of the alarm contacts on the two access doors to the vestibule to maintain security.

6. Alarm system Delivery, installation and commissioning of a wireless alarm system. Monitoring of four doors by the system for reliable intrusion detection.

7. Workshop drawings and assembly planning Preparation of workshop drawings and detailed assembly planning for all the above-mentioned systems and components.

8. Testing, commissioning and documentation Carrying out all necessary electrical and functional tests. Commissioning the systems and components.

Issue of certificates of conformity, installation book and a comprehensive electrical report.

The client reserves the right to take legal action and claim damages in the event of a breach of these contractual provisions.

001676 Z Personnel supervision/working hours/construction site operations

Working groups working under the supervision of a US Embassy security officer may only move freely within the working area to the extent that an overview of the entire working group must be maintained at all times.

The safety instructions of the supervisory personnel must be followed immediately. The number of workers that can be employed simultaneously on the project depends on the number of supervisors and is determined by the client.

The regular working hours on the construction site are based on the security requirements of the embassy. Previously, the following working hours applied: Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00, provided the ambassador is in the office or not on site. Currently, as there is no ambassador in the building, the working hours are temporarily extended: Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 17:00.

Working hours may change at short notice when a new ambassador takes office. In addition, work must be suspended on US public holidays and on days on which the ambassador is unexpectedly in the house or in the home office. In exceptional cases, if the ambassador is absent on an American holiday, work may be continued in consultation with the local site supervisor.

The following approach should therefore be used for the tender:

• One American public holiday and two additional days for possible work-related interruptions must be planned for each calendar month.

All complications and restrictions resulting from the above safety-related regulations must be fully taken into account in the unit prices.

Additional claims due to resulting hindrances are excluded, unless the work interruption was expressly ordered by the client.
