that the motion for reconsideration or protest has been resolved.

26
28.4. Outer envelopes marked “TECHNICAL MODIFICATION” or “FINANCIAL

with the documents required to be submitted for the Technical Proposal of the
Bid, as prescribed in ITB Clause 14. For this purpose, the PROCURING
ENTITY’s BAC shall check the submitted documents of each Bidder against a
checklist of required documents to ascertain if they are all present in the first
envelope, using a non-discretionary “pass/fail” criteria, as stated in the IAEB and
this ITB. If a Bidder submits the required document, it shall be rated “passed” for
that particular requirement. In this regard, failure to submit a requirement, or an
incomplete or patently insufficient submission, shall be considered “failed” for
the particular requirement concerned. In case one or more of the above required
documents in the first envelope of a particular Bid is missing, incomplete, or
patently insufficient, the PROCURING ENTITY’s BAC shall rate the bid
concerned as “failed” and immediately return to the Bidder concerned its second
Bid envelope unopened. Otherwise, the PROCURING ENTITY’s BAC shall rate
the said first Bid envelope as “passed.”

28.7. Immediately after determining compliance with the requirements in the first
envelope, the PROCURING ENTITY’s BAC shall forthwith open the second bid
envelope (Financial Proposal) and modifications, if any, of each remaining
eligible bidder whose first bid envelope was rated “passed” and announce the
total Bid price inclusive of any discounts that may be offered and modifications
made. The second envelope of each complying bidder shall be opened within the
same day. In case one or more of the requirements in the second envelope of a
particular bid is missing, incomplete or patently insufficient, and/or if the
submitted total bid price exceeds the approved budget for the contract, unless
otherwise provided in the BDS, the BAC shall rate the bid concerned as “failed.”
Only bids that are determined to contain all the bid requirements for both
components shall be rated “passed” and shall immediately be considered for
evaluation and comparison.

28.8. The PROCURING ENTITY shall prepare the minutes of the proceedings of the
Bid opening that shall include, as a minimum: (a) names of Bidders, their Bid
price, Bid security, findings of preliminary examination; and (b) attendance sheet.

27
 The BAC members shall sign the abstract of Bids as read and the observers may

recover cost of materials.

and TWG, are prohibited from making or accepting any kind of communication
with any bidder regarding the evaluation of their bids until the issuance of the
Notice of Award, unless otherwise allowed in this ITB. The entire evaluation
process shall be completed in not more that fifteen (15) days from the deadline
for receipt of proposals.

30. Contacting the PROCURING ENTITY

30.1. Subject to ITB Clause 31, no Bidder shall contact the PROCURING ENTITY on
any matter relating to its Bid, from the time of Bid opening to the time the
Contract is awarded.

with any bidder regarding the evaluation of their bids until the issuance of the

for purposes of Bid evaluation and comparing the Bid prices will convert the
amounts in various currencies in which the Bid Price is expressed to Philippine
Pesos at the exchange rates officially prescribed for similar transactions as
established by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on the date of Bid opening.

33. Domestic Preference

33.1. If the BDS so specifies and for the purpose of comparison of Bids, the
PROCURING ENTITY will grant a margin of preference in accordance with the
procedures outlined in the BDS.

34. Detailed Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

34.1. The PROCURING ENTITY will undertake the detailed evaluation and
comparison of Bids which have passed the opening and preliminary examination

28
 of Bids, pursuant to ITB Clause 28, in order to determine the Lowest Calculated
Bid.

34.2. The methodology of evaluation to determine the Lowest Calculated Bid is

indicated in the BDS.

34.3. Bids shall be evaluated on an equal footing to ensure fair competition. For this
purpose, all bidders shall be required to include in their bids the cost of all taxes,
such as, but not limited to, value added tax (VAT), income tax, local taxes, and
other fiscal levies and duties which shall be itemized in the bid form and
reflected in the detailed estimates. Such bids, including said taxes, shall be the
basis for bid evaluation and comparison.

34.4. The PROCURING ENTITY’s BAC shall immediately conduct a detailed

evaluation of all Bids rated “passed,” using non-discretionary pass/fail criteria,
which shall include consideration of the following:

(a) The Bid must be complete. Except in case of partial Bids, Bids not
addressing or providing all of the required items in the Schedule of
Requirements including, where applicable, bill of quantities, shall
be considered non-responsive and, thus automatically disqualified.
In this regard, where a required item is provided, but no price is
indicated, the same shall be considered as non-responsive, but
specifying a “0” (zero) for the said item would mean that it is being
offered for free to the PROCURING ENTITY; and

(b) Minor arithmetical corrections to consider computational errors,

omissions and discounts if so allowed in the BDS. Any adjustment
shall be calculated in monetary terms to determine the calculated
prices.

34.5. Unless otherwise indicated in the BDS, the PROCURING ENTITY’s evaluation
of Bids shall only be based on the Bid price quoted in accordance with ITB
Clause 18.

35. Post-Qualification

35.1. The PROCURING ENTITY shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Bidder
that is evaluated as having submitted the Lowest Calculated Bid is qualified to
perform the contract satisfactorily. The determination shall use non-discretionary
“pass/fail” criteria and in accordance with the criteria listed in ITB Clause 8. In
this case the said Bidder’s Bid shall be considered and declared the Lowest
Calculated and Responsive Bid.

35.2. The determination shall take into account the Bidder’s legal, financial, technical,
and production capabilities. It shall be based upon an examination of the
documentary evidence of the Bidder’s qualifications submitted by the Bidder,
pursuant to ITB Clause 14, as well as such other information as the
PROCURING ENTITY deems necessary and appropriate.

29
 35.3. An affirmative determination shall be a prerequisite for award of the contract to
the Bidder. A negative determination shall result in rejection of the Bidder’s Bid,
in which event the PROCURING ENTITY shall proceed to the next Lowest
Calculated Bid to make a similar determination of that Bidder’s capabilities to
perform satisfactorily. If the second Bidder, however, fails the post qualification,
the procedure for post qualification shall be repeated for the Bidder with the next
Lowest Calculated Bid, and so on until the Lowest Calculated and Responsive
Bid is determined for contract award.

36. PROCURING ENTITY’S Right to Reject Bids, Declare a Failure of Bidding, and
not to Award the Contract

36.1. Based on the following grounds, the PROCURING ENTITY reserves the right to
reject any and all Bids, declare a Failure of Bidding at any time prior to the
contract award, or not to award the contract, without thereby incurring any
liability, and make no assurance that a contract shall be entered into as a result of
the bidding:

(a) If there is prima facie evidence of collusion between appropriate

public officers or employees of the PROCURING ENTITY, or
between the BAC and any of the bidders, or if the collusion is
between or among the bidders themselves, or between a bidder and
a third party, including any act which restricts, suppresses or
nullifies or tends to restrict, suppress or nullify competition;

(b) If the PROCURING ENTITY’s BAC is found to have failed in

following the prescribed bidding procedures; or

(c) For any justifiable and reasonable ground where the award of the
contract will not redound to the benefit of the Government as
follows: (i) if the physical and economic conditions have
significantly changed so as to render the project no longer
economically, financially or technically feasible as determined by
the head of the procuring entity; (ii) if the project is no longer
necessary as determined by the head of the procuring entity; and
(iii) if the source of funds for the project has been withheld or
reduced through no fault of the PROCURING ENTITY.

36.2. In addition, the PROCURING ENTITY may likewise declare a Failure of

Bidding when:

(a) No prospective bidder submits an LOI or no bids are received;

(b) All prospective bidders are declared ineligible;

(c) All bids fail to comply with all the bid requirements or fail post-
qualification; or

(d) The bidder with the Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid refuses,
without justifiable cause to accept the award of contract, and no

30
 award is made.

37. Award Criteria

37.1. Subject to ITB Clause 35, the PROCURING ENTITY shall award the contract to
the Bidder whose Bid has been determined to be substantially responsive and has
