Restoration of rooms and replacement of façade windows at the Captaincy building

Summary

The tender covers restoration of interior elements in several historic rooms of the Captaincy building in Cartagena, Spain, and replacement of the exterior windows on the main façade to improve energy efficiency. The work includes restoring vertical, horizontal and decorative finishes in the Main Staircase, Throne Room, Gala Dining Room and entrance hall to the Admiral’s office. The building is protected as part of Cartagena’s historic heritage, so the works must respect the applicable protection rules and preserve the materials, form and design of existing elements. This is a simplified open works procedure for a single, undivided contract. The works must be completed within seven months from signing the site-setting-out record. The tender budget is €494,999.99 including VAT; the estimated contract value is €409,090.90 excluding VAT. Offers are assessed on price (55%) and quality criteria: provision of a health and safety coordinator (5%), and additional heritage-project experience of the works manager and conservation-restoration coordinator (20% each). The bidder must demonstrate the required financial and technical capacity and name and substantiate the qualifications and experience of the works manager and restoration coordinator. Offers must be submitted electronically in a single envelope. Required items include a responsible declaration, a price offer showing VAT separately and, for the successful bidder, the guarantees and evidence of civil-liability insurance of at least €750,000.
