About this tender

The Wetteraukreis central procurement office is tendering general planning services (Generalplanerleistungen) for the extension of the Wartbergschule in 61169 Friedberg (Hesse) and the construction of its outdoor areas. The Wartbergschule is a special needs school focused on intellectual development, with a department for physical and motor development. It currently operates across four sites, including the main building (Friedensstraße 17), the 'Wartbergchen' (Friedensstraße 14), the Berufsorientierungsstufe (Friedensstraße 18), and a branch in Bad Nauheim. Title 1 covers a barrier-free extension building with an elevator, including examination of how it connects to the existing buildings. Title 2 covers a new outdoor area design: school yard, access routes, possible car parking and bicycle stands, and a connection to the existing outdoor space of the 'Wartbergchen'. It also requires checking whether an EV charging station must be installed under Wetteraukreis requirements, with additional spaces pre-wired if so. The neighbouring school's access route must be considered, a boundary fence with privacy screening must be included, and restoration of areas and utility routes used for site setup must be planned. Outdoor planning must be coordinated closely with the school, with particular attention to accessibility and inclusion. Title 3 is optional and applies only if the connection to the 'Wartbergchen' is found feasible under Title 1 and approved by the client. It does not include a full interior renovation of that building; the planner must assess structural and technical changes needed for the connection. Cost group 480 is queried as an option. Title 4 is also optional and covers dismantling an existing fenced sports pitch on the potential building site, if that site is selected. The notice does not state the contract duration or the detailed deliverables beyond these scope descriptions. Further details are referred to the tender documents and the contract notice.
