Minutes of the tender opening, including the information disclosed to those present will be prepared by the Employer.

Information relating to the examination, clarification, evaluation, and comparison of tenders and recommendations for the award of Contract shall not be disclosed to tenderers or any other persons not officially concerned with such process until the award to the successful tenderer has been announced. Any effort by a tenderer to influence the Employer’s officials, processing of tenders or award decisions may result in the rejection of histender.

To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of tenders, the Employer at his discretion, may ask any tenderer for clarification of the tender, including breakdowns of unit rates. The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing or by cable, telex or facsimile but no change in the price or substance of the tender shall be sought, offered, or permitted except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered in the evaluation of the tenders in accordance with Clause5.7.

Prior to the detailed evaluation of tenders, the Employer will determine whether each tender

a) Meets the eligibility criteria defined in Clause 1.7;

b) Has been properly signed;

c) Is accompanied by the required securities; and

d) Is substantially responsive to the requirements of the tendering documents.

A substantially responsive tender is one which conforms to all the terms, conditions and specifications of the tendering documents, without material deviation or reservation. A material deviation or reservation is one (a) which affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the works; (b) which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the tendering documents, the Employer’s rights or the tenderer’s obligations under the Contract; or

(c) whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other tenderers presenting substantially responsive tenders.

If a tender is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected, and may not subsequently be made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the nonconforming deviation or reservation.

Tenders determined to be substantially responsive will be checked for any arithmetic errors. Errors will be corrected as follows:

(d) where there is a discrepancy between the amount in figures and the amount in words, the amount in words will prevail; and

(e) Where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will prevail, unless in the opinion of the Employer, there is an obvious typographical error, in which case the adjustment will be made to the entry containing that error.

(f) In the event of a discrepancy between the tender amount as stated in the Form of Tender and the corrected tender figure in the main summary of the Bill of Quantities, the amount as stated in the Form of Tender shall prevail.

(g) The Error Correction Factor shall be computed by expressing the difference between the tender amount and the corrected tender sum as a percentage of the corrected Builder’s Work (i.e. Corrected tender sum less P.C. and Provisional Sums)

(h) The Error Correction Factor shall be applied to all Builders’ Work (as a rebate or addition as the case may be) for the purposes of valuations for Interim Certificates and valuation of variations.

(i) the amount stated in the tender will be adjusted in accordance with the above procedure for the correction of errors and, with concurrence of the tenderer, shall be considered as binding upon the tenderer. If the tenderer does not accept the corrected amount, the tender may be rejected and the Tender Security may be forfeited in accordance with clause 3.11.

The Employer will evaluate and compare only the tenders determined to be substantially responsive in accordance with Clause5.5.

In evaluating the tenders, the Employer will determine for each tender the evaluated tender price by adjusting the tender price as follows:

(a) making any correction for errors pursuant to clause5.7;

(b) Excluding provisional sums and the provision, if any, for contingencies in the Bill of Quantities, but including Day works where priced competitively.

(c) making an appropriate adjustment for any other acceptable variations, deviations, or alternative offers submitted in accordance with clause 3.12; and

(d) making appropriate adjustments to reflect discounts or other price modifications offered in accordance with clause4.6

The Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any variation, deviation, or alternative offer. Variations, deviations, and alternative offers and other factors which are in excess of the requirements of the tender documents or otherwise result in unsolicited benefits for the Employer will not be taken into account in tender evaluation.

The tenderer shall not influence the Employer on any matter relating to his tender from the time of the tender opening to the time the Contract is awarded. Any effort by the Tenderer to influence the Employer or his employees in his decision on tender evaluation, tender comparison or Contract award may result in the rejection of the tender.

If the work in the variation corresponds with an item description in the Bills of Quantities and if in the opinion of the Project Manager, the quantity of work is not above the limit stated in Clause 21.2 or the timing of its execution does not cause the cost per unit of quantity to change, the rate in the Bills of Quantities shall be used to calculate the value of the variation. If the cost per unit of quantity changes, of the nature or timing of the work in the variation does not correspond with items in the Bills of Quantities, the quotation by the Contractor shall be in the form of new rates for the relevant items of Work.

If the Contractor’s quotation is unreasonable, the Project Manager may order the variation and make a change to the Contract price, which shall be based on the Project Manager’s own forecast of the effects of the variation on the Contractor’s costs.

If the Project Manager decides that the urgency of varying the Work would prevent a quotation being given and considered without delaying the Work, no quotation shall be given and the variation shall be treated as a Compensation Event.

The Contractor shall not be entitled to additional payment for costs that could have been avoided by giving early warning.

When the Program is updated, the Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with an updated cash flow forecast.

23. Payment Certificates, Currency of Payments and Advance Payments

The Contractor shall be paid after the full value of the works on completion less the certified value for retention which shall be released after the defects liability period.

The Contractor shall supply the Employer’s Representative with a detailed final account of the total amount that the Contractor considers payable under the Contract before the end of the Defects Liability Period. The Employer’s Representative shall issue a Defect Liability Certificate and certify any final payment that is due to the Contractor within 30 days of receiving the Contractor’s account if it is correct and complete. If it is not, the Employer’s Representative shall issue within 21 days a schedule that states the scope of the corrections or additions that are necessary. If the final account is still unsatisfactory after it has been

resubmitted, the Employer’s Representative shall decide on the amount payable to the Contractor and issue a Final Payment Certificate. The Employer shall pay the Contractor the amount so certified within 60 days of the issue of the final Payment Certificate.

24. Price Adjustment

The Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price if taxes, duties and other levies are changed between the date 30 days before the submission of tenders for the Contract and the date of Completion. The adjustment shall be the change in the amount of tax payable by the Contractor.

The Contract Price shall be deemed to be based on exchange rates current at the date of tender submission in calculating the cost to the Contractor of materials to be specifically imported (by express provisions in the Contract Bills of Quantities or Specifications) for permanent incorporation in the Works. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract, if at any time during the period of the Contract exchange rates shall be varied and this shall affect the cost to the Contractor of such materials, then the Project Manager shall assess the net difference in the cost of such materials.
