About this tender

The buyer, Gmina Miejska Świeradów-Zdrój, is procuring a mobile machine for producing snow at above-zero temperatures, for seasonal surface construction (artificial snow for a sports or recreation surface). The notice describes an integrated delivery of three linked components: (1) a mobile snow-generating unit, (2) a semi-trailer chassis on which it is mounted, and (3) a trailer-mounted power generator. Component 1, the snow-making unit, is housed in a 1x20' HC container (approx. 6.1 x 2.5 x 2.9 m, maximum 13,000 kg). It must have an electrical supply of 400V/50Hz, maximum consumption of 85 kW, a 250 A protection rating, at least three ice generators with staged operation (1/3, 2/3, 3/3), and capacity of at least 70 m³/day or 32 t/day of snow. It must operate with water inlet temperatures of +5 to +20 °C and ambient temperatures from -3 to +20 °C. Its refrigerant is R454C, with a maximum charge of 110 kg. Snow must be conveyed over 25 to 35 m at heights of 5 to 10 m. Salt and brine are prohibited because the site may lie in state forests or Natura 2000 areas, and output must be 100% dry snow. The unit must include a PLC control panel, remote management via an application and internet connection, and a weather station. The manufacture year must be no earlier than 2025. Component 2 is a low-bed commercial semi-trailer chassis with a 39,000 kg permissible gross mass (42,000 kg technical), a 27,000 kg technical axle load, 385/65/22 tyres, and a platform height of 1,300 mm. Component 3 is a diesel generator set on a trailer, with minimum 200 kW / 250 kVA, 400/230V output, a fuel tank of at least 449 L, and noise of no more than 68 ±2.4 dB. It must be factory-new, never previously used, and manufactured in 2025 or later. Warranty is per the bidder's offer or 2,000 motor hours, whichever occurs first. Post-sale support includes 24/7 technical support, a 2-hour service response time, mobile service, operator training with written confirmation per trainee, and a first snow-making month with at least two supplier staff on site. Clarifications to the SWZ dated 19.10.2026 form an integral part of the specification and are binding on all bidders. The stated closing date is 5 November 2026. The notice does not state an expected contract duration.
