1 Objective and background The Danish Government, The Capital Region of Denmark and 11 municipalities (Lyngby-Taarbæk, Gladsaxe, Herlev, Rødovre, Glostrup, Albertslund, Brøndby, Høje-Taastrup, Hvidovre, Vallensbæk, Ishøj) agreed on 20 June 2013 to construct a Light Rail on Ring 3. The agreement is based on a programme study prepared in March 2013: Programme study concerning a Light Rail on Ring 3. The above mentioned parties entered in February 2014 into a partnership Hovedstadens Letbane. The partnership was based on a bill passed in the Parliament in February 2014. Hovedstadens Letbane has the formal name Ring 3 Letbane I/S until a construction law is passed in the Parliament. The EIA process is almost finished and a proposal for a construction law is expected to be presented for the Parliament shortly hereafter. The construction law is expected to pass the Parliament around the first of April 2016. Since the legislation that will form the basis of constructing the Letbane på Ring 3 is not yet available, there will be a certain amount of uncertainty associated with some of the information given below; this includes the timing of the award of contracts assignment and the subsequent construction of the Letbane på Ring 3, which will be clarified in the tender documents. Hovedstadens Letbane (HL) will be responsible for design; construction, operation and maintenance of the Letbane på Ring 3 (Ring 3 Light Rail). HL invites via the published contract notices applicants to seek prequalification for the works needed for the construction of the Letbane på Ring 3 and for the Operation and Maintenance of the Letbane på Ring 3 in a period of 15 years after start of the commercial operation. This document is intended to provide information about the Letbane på Ring 3 and the intended scope of work for the contracts put out to tender and thereby assisting contractors in preparing their application for prequalification. On the basis of the applications for prequalification HL will select four contractors for each contract that will be invited to participate in the tender procedure, which will be in the form of negotiated tender procedure. 2 Letbane på Ring 3 The Letbane på Ring 3 will have 28 stations on a 28 kilometre double track from Lundtofte in the North to Ishøj in the South. The alignment is illustrated at figure 1 (next page). Frequent services at 5 minute intervals on weekdays make the light rail an attractive public transport solution. The light rail is expected to carry 13.000.000-14.000.000 passengers a year. The number may increase to 17.000.000 18.000.000, as the area along the line gradually develops. Page: 4 of 21

The Letbane på Ring 3 will connect the existing 5 lines in the Copenhagen commuter rail system (The S -train system), create 6 new transport hubs in the Capital Region and underpin other public transport plans including the National Transport strategy. The Letbane på Ring 3 will also create significant urban development potential for towns within the municipalities and bring growth as citizens, employees and companies will be attracted to the region as it offers efficient public transport.

8.4 Negotiation process HL will in all CW contracts and the CMC Building contract reserve the possibility to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) after receipt of the first tender. It is expected that at least one round of negotiations and clarifications will be needed for all contracts and for the TS and O&M contracts more rounds of negotiation may be needed. HL will prepare Minutes of Meetings from the negotiation meetings stating agreed actions and referring process. The result of the negotiations will be documented by Tenderers in their revised tenders. 8.4.1 CW contracts and CMC Building contract HL will in the CW contract reserve the possibility to shortlist 2 or 3 Tenderers at any time after receipt of first bid. 8.4.2 TS and O&M Contracts Due to the size of the contracts HL will invite all Tenderers submitting a tender, who HL is not obliged to reject, for negotiations. Further HL will reserve the possibility identify the MEAT after receipt of the revised tender or to shortlist after receipt of a revised tender. 8.5 Contract award The award criterion will be the Economically Most Advantageous Tender (MEAT). Sub criteria will be stated in the tender documents 8.6 Owner s decision In accordance with the law Lov om letbane på Ring 3 (No. 165, dated 2014-02- 26) is Hovedstadens Letbanes entering into construction and operational contracts presupposes the owners approval of the economical basis of the project prior to signing such contracts. When the result of all the procurement processes described in the present document is known the result has to be presented for the owners for the owner s final approval. Announcing the MEAT to the Tenderers (conditional of the owner s approval) after the approval in the Board will start the standstill period. The contracts can be signed as soon as possible after the owner s approval, which is expected in the beginning of 2017. Page: 21 of 21
