Pre-Qualification
• Definition: capability assessment of firms to carry out a
particular contract prior to being invited to submit a bid is
a process called prequalification.
PQ – Why do it?
ADVANTAGES
• Enhances participation of serious contractors (since unqualified
bidders are excluded)
• Reduces high cost of bidding
• Gives early warning of competition potential
• Reduces complaints of disqualified bidders
• Gives “Peace of Mind” to Employers
MORE ADVANTAGES
• Borrower able to assess interest of qualified firms
• Identifies potential conflict of interest (contractors with
business association with consultants)
• Reduces time in evaluating bids from unqualified bidders
• Reduces potential for controversy
• Early Detection of Employer’s capacity to manage procurement

Prequalification
• DISADVANTAGES
– Increases procurement lead time (minimized by
undertaking prequalification while preparing bidding
document)
– Review of all application is mandatory whereas post-
qualification requires review of only winning bid (BUT
VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION SUBMITTED IS NOT
REQUIRED FOR THE PQ EXERCISE)
– Possibility of collusion
• ADVANTAGES OUTWEIGH DISADVANTAGES

• History of Non-Performing Contracts. The Employer must
ensure that the prospective Contractor doesn’t have a history
of litigation an non-performance.

Securing Declaration.
• Pending Litigation All pending litigation shall in total not
represent more than [insert number ] %, [insert percentage in

PQ Criteria (Slide 2 of 3)
Financial Requirements
Sound position; long term profitability.
Cash Flow (on hand) of about 4 months (to finance work
unpaid) Straight line calc.
Annual turn-over for a number of years of no less than 2 times
annual disbursement of contract. (used to be 10 and then 5,
3, and now 2) This reduces chance of contractor going broke
on your job! Borrowers may use 3 which is more conservative.

CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS
• Private owners may choose the contractor that they
consider the best qualified. The owner may use the
qualification information to develop a “short list” of pre-
qualified contractors who are asked to:
– Bid competitively for the work on a unit-price or lump sum basis.
– Present priced proposals for negotiation of a contract on mutually
acceptable terms.
• Public owners may use the qualification information to
select a short list bidders.
msm@2013-SBEQ3513 43
43
SELECTION BY COMPETITIVE
BIDDING
• Two ingredients for true price competition bidding are:
– Clear, concise set of construction plans, specifications, other proposed
contract documents (Specify the product to be delivered)
– Defined procedure for the bidding award process (Provide a systematic
approach)
• The bidding procedure protects both the owner and the
bidders by providing a systematic approach to bidding and
awarding the contract.

Role of Designer
• Designer’s degree of involvement in the bidding process
depends on the agreement for professional services with the
owner. In a typical arrangement, the designer:
– Prepares drawings, specifications, bidding documents, and estimates
of probable costs for the review and approval of the owner.
– Assists the owner in obtaining bids or priced proposals for each
contract to be awarded.
– Assists the owner in evaluating bids or proposals and in awarding
contracts.

Variance Procedures
• A variance is required for contractors who do not meet the safety
criteria.
• Variances are discouraged and should be used only when there is a well
defined business need such as specialization of the contractor and no
other contractors with this specialty are available, location of the site and
availability of contractors with the required skills and qualifications.
• The variance request shall be completely filled out by the requisitioner
and approved by the Plant Manager, Plant Safety Manager, Project
Engineer, and the Operations Manager.
• The variance form must be accompanied by a Commitment Letter from
the contractor stating what they are going to do (with no additional cost
to LP) to ensure their employees safety on our site.
• All variances will be reviewed by the Functional Area Safety Manager and
forwarded to TVTC so that they can be maintained in the PQF database.
