Spanish term or phrase: Contrato de ejecución de obras sobre rasante
Hello there! I was wondering if there is a specific term for this type of contract since this sounds too long in English: contract for the execution of works above ground.
Many thanks in advance!

Explanation:
Lest we forget existing KudoZ glossary entries.

Example sentence(s):
  • UK: ‘Grade’ is a term used to describe the level of the earth at a specific location or at ground level.
  • In the US, an ‘at grade’ intersection will have roads or rail tracks – or a combination of both –arranged on the same level

Reference information:
I agree with your provisional suggestion and would´t really know how to shorten it. I don´t know if there´s a specific term for this type of contract, but I doubt it.

El concurso de proyectos, cuyo plazo de presentación de equipos culmina el 5 de julio, establece obras bajo rasante, es decir, la musealización del yacimiento, y obras sobre rasante, que supondrán la recuperación de la plaza de San Esteban.
