Guide to the use of the paradigm (to writers of tender documents)In order to make it easier and faster for you to formulate tender documents, the Danish Road Directorate (DRD) has prepared tender paradigms, which must be used when inviting tenders for tasks from consult-ants and contractors. The entire guide serves as a help to you and should of course be removed so that it does not appear in the finished document. It is crucial that we describe our orders in detail so there is no doubt as to the delivery we want. When we base the tender documents on a uniform and recognisable structure, we make the entire procurement process easier for you as an employee of the DRD and for our suppliers.The paradigms are changed on an ongoing basis in connection with new laws, executive orders and standards as well as the experience gained by the DRD, our wishes for rationalisation and much more. THEREFORE, YOU MUST ALWAYS USE PARADIGMS WHEN PREPARING TENDER DOCUMENTS! You CANNOT just find a previous tender document and "simply" adjust it as it may have become obsolete in the meantime. In order to make the writing process as easy as possible for you, the guide is part of the appearance of the paradigm itself. The meaning of the different colours, markings and brackets are as fol-lows: Red text is a guide for you.

It can be deleted when you are ready. The red text MUST be deleted no later than in connection with completion of the document.

Black text on a white background is standard text applicable to all contracts.As a general rule, this text should NOT be deleted or changed. However, you have to delete it, if a section or a text is not at all relevant for your tender.

Black text with a turquoise shading colour is text that should be adjusted to match the specific pro-ject.

The text should EITHER be included unchanged or removed OR be made more specific for the particular task – see the explanation below of the two types of brackets.

It is important that the turquoise shading is used for entire sections to facilitate the final editing. The shading must appear as one text block and not as in this sections where only the lines are shaded. If you only apply shading to single words or sentences, the guide to remov- ing shading colour does not work.

Make sure that you use the right turquoise colour by selecting the style "Turkis skyggefarve" (Turquoise shading) – or by selecting this specific colour:

The turquoise shading should be maintained until after you have read the document and be removed immediately before tender. Remove all shading in the entire document in one step by doing the follow-ing:

Ctrl+A (select all) -> tilted paint bucket (shading) -> select ”no colour”.

[A text block framed by square brackets] means that you only need to consider whether to include the text or not. As a general rule, the wording within the brackets should not be changed.

The square brackets should be maintained until after you have read the document and be removed immediately before tender. Remove all brackets in the entire document in one step by doing the follow-ing:

Ctrl+A (select all) -> Replace -> Find what [ -> replace with (blank field) -> Replace all

Ctrl+A (select all) -> Replace -> Find what ] -> replace with (blank field) -> Replace all

A text block <where part of the text is framed by angle brackets> means that you MUST insert a task-specific text here – for example a period of time.

The angle brackets are also used in Internet links and as a result, they cannot be removed as de-scribed above. They have to be removed individually.

If you need to add text not included in the paradigm, this text MUST be highlighted in yellow in draft tender documents.

In order to make the work as easy for you as possible and ensure that the finished document is without faults, you should proceed in this order:1. Read this guide every time, even if you think you remember its content. Consider printing it.

2. Make one document – SBB – for all documents.

3. Enable track changes in Word and set it so you do not see the changes but only the final docu-ment. The changes can always be made visible if you need it.

4. Delete the sections in the document that are not relevant for your tender.

5. Consider text with turquoise shading – either in [square] or <angle> brackets.

6. Add text if required. Mark it using yellow highlighting colour.

7. Delete red text when you are sure that you have understood the guide. You can make the text vis-ible again as long as you have not "accepted" the changes in Word.

8. Read the document carefully. Does it all make sense?

9. Do not proceed to item 9 UNTIL YOU AND THE DOCUMENT OWNER are sure that everything is correct and can be understood unambiguously by the supplier.

10. "Accept all changes" and remove the blue and yellow highlights and make all text black. Disable track changes.

The red table at the bottom of the page is used for document management, which takes place in several steps: In connection with the approval of a specific paradigm (e.g. Drainage), the form must be completed

by the paradigm owner.

Delete the form when you have prepared a project-specific document.

If you discover any errors in the paradigm or if you have any suggestions for improvements, please con-tact the unit or network responsible for the paradigm. Changes must be approved in accordance with the "Procedure for maintenance of tender paradigms".

Service Description – Common to Design <contract number>

10 Street lighting

10.1 GeneralA project – for lighting of the below areas – is to be prepared. The exact boundaries of the areas shall be defined in the project, taking into account the geometric detailed design and interfaces to the surroundings.

It shall be stated where you want the street lighting. The division into areas shall corres-pond to the requirements for lighting classes. The final extent of lighting is determined by the contractor's consultant because there are interfaces to the existing lighting outside the scope of the contract and the geometric detailed design. The below specification of illu-minated areas should therefore be able to accommodate adaptations to the surroundings and the geometry. Stationings are therefore indicative. A distinction is made between main roads and local roads in accordance with the criteria in the road standards for "By-ernes trafikarealer, hæfte 0" ("Urban traffic areas, book 0") .

10.2 Content of the projectGenerally, the project consists of three parts: project proposals, detailed project and ‘as built’ documentation. Each part consists of a number of activities of which some, in cer-tain cases – depending on the scope and nature of the project – can be left out while others (e.g. light calculations) are iterative processes and therefore have to be completed several times.

In the project, not all component types mentioned – e.g. brackets and bridge mount brackets – are necessarily included.

The Employer shall do the handover inspection of the project proposal, detailed project and documentation. Any comments by the Employer on the project proposal shall be included in the detailed project. The work cannot be handed over until the documentation has been checked by the Employer.

<3> weeks should be expected for each check, calculated from the handover date.

10.3.2 Interchanges

In interchanges, ramps and intersections are lit in cases where:

either the main road (motorway) or the secondary road (the intersecting road) is lit

the intersection between ramp and the secondary road is signalized

the intersection between ramp and the secondary road is a roundabout or rotary

there are complicated conditions on the secondary road with barriers, roadsides, turn lanes and the like.

At the intersection between ramp and secondary road, the columns are placed in accord-ance with the same principles as with other signalized intersections and roundabouts.

The secondary road link between two lit intersections shall also be lit.

In cases where the main road (motor or motorway) is not lit, lighting of the on-ramp is established corresponding to 1-2 columns distances while the off-ramp is only lit by one column located right at the intersection.

PAGE16 of 21


In cases where the main road is lit, lighting is established on the full extent of the on-ramp and off-ramp.

Below are 4 types of intersections. The extent of the lighting is outlined, in the case where none of the roads are lit.

PAGE17 of 21


10.3.3 Luminaire fixing angle and bracket projection

The shape of the bracket of the column is, for aesthetic reasons, determining for the up-per and lower limits for the luminaire fixing angle and bracket projection, which shall meet the specified requirements in the table below:

Shape Bracket projection Luminaire fixing angleStraight bracket [0.1-0.5[ m

[0.5-1.0] m

0°

3°

Curved bracket [0.3-0.5] m 0°

10.3.4 Colour temperature and colour rendering

Luminous efficacy from LED packages increases with rising colour temperature. There-fore, for the sake of the energy efficiency of the system, you should aim at a choice of colour temperature as high as possible. However, warm-white light with a rather low col-our temperature has advantages with regard to light quality, including colour rendering.

Where pedestrians and cyclists are present, there is a need to recognize faces and smal-ler objects. Here, you should choose warm-white light with a nominal colour temperature of 3000 K and a good colour rendering, Ra ≥ 80. This applies in most cases, for instance, to roads and intersections within urban areas, paths, car parks, carpool locations, road-side facilities, pedestrian crossings, shopping malls and at bus stops.

Where pedestrians and cyclists are not present, you should choose a neutral white light with a nominal colour temperature of 4000 K and a modest colour rendering, Ra ≥ 70. This applies in most cases, for instance, to motorways and highways as well as intersec-tions and roundabouts in rural areas.

10.3.5 Lighting control

Luminaires are supplied with SR-socket for future control and monitoring via a Central Management System (CMS) system.

In most cases, stand-alone time controlled dimming (self-adjusting timer unit) should be specified in all area types, except intersections, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings, speed reducing measures and at bus stops. Lighting control is typically specified at 50% of rated light flux between 22-06 hours.

10.3.6 Mounting and location of columns

Columns on bridges shall be mounted on a bridge mount bracket fastened to the edge beam of the bridge in accordance with ” Bridge Mount Bracket for Lighting Column on Bridge” (Danish Road Directorate’s construction drawing 25349). Bridge mount brackets may not be located in line with traffic barrier poles. Columns mounted on brackets are usually located within the deflection width of the railing, regardless of its W-class.

The distance between the front of the column and the rear of the traffic barrier shall at least be equal to the deflection width of the traffic barrier, unless the column is rated passively safe. Columns must not be located in line with traffic barrier poles.

PAGE18 of 21


The outer side of the column must have a distance to the asphalt edge of the road of at least 0.5 m and to the asphalt edge of a path of at least 0.3 m. The distance is recom-mended to be somewhat greater than the minimum requirements.

10.3.7 Passively safe columns

On roads where the permitted speed is greater than 50 km/h, columns must be passively safe. The requirement does not apply if the columns are:

placed behind the traffic barrier (outside the deflection width of the traffic barrier)

outside the safety zone of the road

otherwise so that they cannot be hit.

The Speed class is dependent on the permitted speed and is to be chosen as stated in the table below:

Permitted speed Speed class50 - 80 km/h 70 km/h

50 - 130 km/h 100 km/h

The Energy absorption class is chosen based on a number of conditions. LE and HE-columns are used at the following places:

where there may be a danger that mislead vehicles can collide with dangerous obstacles such as trees, bridge columns or noise barriers

where a lot of walking and cycling traffic is present

in central reserves that are not wide enough for a column not to hit the carriageway

when column is placed inside the deflection width of the traffic barrier

on bridges.

Other places NE, LE and HE are selected.

The safety class is chosen as high as possible, at least 2.

10.3.8 Sectioning the lighting system

If the Danish Road Directorate is the only Road Authority, please state:[All areas shall be managed by the Danish Road Directorate and thus, for administrative reasons, the lighting system shall not be divided.]

If not all areas are to be managed by Danish Road Directorate, please specify the road authority responsible for operation and maintenance of the lighting system. [The Danish Road Directorate and other road authorities shall – for administrative reas-ons – have separate meter points. The lighting system shall therefore be divided in such a way that service lateral, cabinet, street lighting cables etc. are separate for each road authority.

In the table below, the road authority is specified for each area.Area Road authority

<motorway> <from Ch.> – <to Ch.> <road authority>

<road underpass> <Ch.> <road authority> ]Electrical limitations as to levels of short-circuit current and voltage at the columns in the greatest possible distance to the street lighting cabinet may render a division necessary for the system.

Where the distance between neighbouring areas is sufficiently great, financially, it is more profitable to divide the system.

10.3.9 Location of street lighting cabinets

Passage about interface for the location of ITS systems shall be included if ITS systems are planned on the spot.The location of street lighting cabinets shall, as far as possible, be coordinated with exist-ing and future locations of the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) junction cabinets [and the Road Authority’s cabinets for ITS systems (<traffic census point and video camera>)].

10.3.10 Ordering street lighting cabinets

Street lighting cabinets are the Employer’s own supplies. The Employer shall be informed of the details below for each lighting system. The information is necessary for the Em-ployer to be able to specificy the street lighting cabinet and thus a precondition that Em-ployer’s own supplies can be carried out.

The future Local Authority of the cabinet (name of municipality or Danish Road Dir-ectorate)

Required delivery address and time of delivery

Indication of place of the lighting system (e.g. ”Roundabout on Vejlevej at TSA 21”)

10.4 Design base

10.4.1 Maintenance factors

The overall maintenance factor, f M is selected on the basis of the following:

f M=f LF ∙ f LM

luminous flux factor,f LF. Is equal to 1,00 when light output is constant throughout life time (CLO)

luminaire maintenance factor,f LM . Determination is based on the assessment of the load level of particles and the assumption of a cleaning interval of 5 year.

Default value of the overall maintenance factor, f M= 0,85.
