contractors, shall observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement and
execution of the contract. In pursuance of this policy, the Funding Source:
(a) defines, for purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
(i) "Corrupt practice" means behavior on the part of officials in the public or
private sectors by which they improperly and unlawfully enrich themselves,
others, or induce others to do so, by misusing the position in which they
are placed, and includes the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of
anything of value to influence the action of any such official in the
procurement process or in contract execution; entering, on behalf of the

(ii) "Fraudulent practice" means a misrepresentation of facts in order to
influence a procurement process or the execution of a contract to the
detriment of the Procuring Entity, and includes collusive practices among
Bidders (prior to or after Bid submission) designed to establish bid prices
at artificial, non-competitive levels and to deprive the Procuring Entity of
the benefits of free and open competition.
(iii) “Collusive practices” means a scheme or arrangement between two or more
bidders, with or without the knowledge of the Procuring Entity, designed to
establish bid prices at artificial, non-competitive levels.
(iv) “Coercive practices” means harming or threatening to harm, directly or
indirectly, persons, or their property to influence their participation in a

evidence material to an administrative proceedings or
investigation or making false statements to investigators in
order to materially impede an administrative proceedings or
investigation of the Procuring Entity or any foreign
government/foreign or international financing institution into
allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive
9

practice; and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party

to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant
to the administrative proceedings or investigation or from
pursuing such proceedings or investigation; or
(bb) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the inspection
and audit rights of the Procuring Entity or any foreign
government/foreign or international financing institution herein.
(b) will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the bidder recommended for
award has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in competing for the
Contract; and
(c) will declare a firm ineligible, either indefinitely or for a stated period of time, to
be awarded Contract funded by the Funding Source if it at any time determines
that the firm has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in competing or, or
in executing, a Contract funded by the Funding Source.
3.2 Furthermore, the Procuring Entity will seek to impose the maximum civil,
administrative, and/or criminal penalties available under the applicable laws on

records and accounts of a contractor in the bidding for and performance of a contract
themselves or through independent auditors as reflected in the GCC Clause 33.
4. Conflict of Interest
4.1 All bidders found to have conflicting interests shall be disqualified to participate in the
procurement at hand, without prejudice to the imposition of appropriate
administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions. A Bidder may be considered to have
conflicting interests with another Bidder in any of the events described in paragraphs
(a) through (c) and a general conflict of interest in any of the circumstances set out in
paragraphs (d) through (g) below:
(a) A Bidder has controlling shareholders in common with another Bidder.
(b) A Bidder receives or has received any direct or indirect subsidy from any other
Bidder.
(c) A Bidder has the same legal representative as that of another Bidder for purposes
of this Bid.
(d) A Bidder has a relationship, directly or through third parties, that puts them in a
position to have access to information about or influence on the bid of another
Bidder or influence the decisions of the Procuring Entity regarding this bidding
process. This will include a firm or an organization who lends, or temporarily
seconds, its personnel to firms or organizations which are engaged in consulting
services for the preparation related to procurement for or implementation of the
project if the personnel would be involved in any capacity on the same project.
(e) A Bidder submits more than one bid in this bidding process. However, this does
not limit the participation of subcontractors in more than one bid.
10

(f) A Bidder who participated as a consultant in the preparation of the design or

technical specifications of the goods and related services that are the subject of
the bid.
(g) A Bidder who lends, or temporary seconds, its personnel to firms or organizations
which are engaged in consulting services for the preparation related to
procurement for or implementation of the project, if the personnel would be

(h) If a consultant combines the function of consulting with those of contracting
and/or supply of equipment.
(i) if a consultant is associated with, affiliated to, or owned by a contractor or a
manufacturing firm with departments or design offices offering services as
consultants unless such consultant includes relevant information on such
relationships along with a statement in the technical proposal cover letter to the
effect that the consultant shall limit its role to that of a consultant and disqualify
itself and its associates from work in any other capacity that may emerge from
the project (including bidding for any part of the future project). The contract
with the consultant selected to undertake the project shall contain an appropriate
provision to such effect.
(j) If there is a conflict among consulting projects, the consultant (including its
personnel and subcontractors) and any subsidiaries or entities controlled by such
consultant shall not be recruited for the relevant project. The duties of the
consultant depend on the circumstances of each case. While continuity of
consulting services may be appropriate in particular situations where no conflict
exists, a consultant cannot be recruited to carry out a project that, by its nature,
shall result in conflict with a prior or current project of such consultant. examples
of the situations mentioned are when a consultant engaged to prepare
engineering design for an infrastructure project shall not be recruited to prepare
an independent environmental assessment for the same project; similarly, a
consultant assisting a Procuring Entity in privatization of public assets shall not
purchase, nor advise purchasers, of such assets; or a consultant hired to prepare
terms of reference (TOR) for a project shall not be recruited for the project in
question.
4.2 In accordance with Section 47 of the Revised IRR of RA 9184, all BDs shall be
accompanied by a sworn affidavit of the Bidder that it is not related to the Head of the
Procuring Entity, members of the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC), members of the
Technical Working Group (TWG), members of the BAC Secretariat, the head of the
Project Management Office (PMO) or the end-user unit, and the project consultants,
by consanguinity or affinity up to the third civil degree. Failure to comply with the
aforementioned provision shall be a ground for the automatic disqualification of the
bid in consonance with Section 30 of the Revised IRR of RA 9184. For this reason,
relation to the aforementioned persons within the third civil degree of consanguinity
or affinity shall automatically disqualify the bidder from participating in the
procurement of contracts of the Procuring Entity, notwithstanding the act of such
persons inhibiting themselves from the procurement process. On the part of the bidder,
this Clause shall apply to the following persons:
(a) If the Bidder is an individual or a sole proprietorship, to the Bidder himself;
11

(b) If the Bidder is a partnership, to all its officers and members;

(c) If the Bidder is a corporation, to all its officers, directors, and controlling
stockholders; and
(d) If the bidder is a cooperative, to all its officers, directors, and controlling
shareholders or members.
(e) If the Bidder is a joint venture (JV), the provisions of items (a), (b), or (c) of this
Clause shall correspondingly apply to each of the members of the said JV, as may
be appropriate.

no way prejudice its bid; however, the Bidder is expected to know the changes and/or
amendments to the Bidding Documents as recorded in the minutes of the Pre-Bid
Conference and the Supplemental/Bid Bulletin.
9.3 Any statement made at the pre-bid conference shall not modify the terms of the
bidding documents unless such statement is specifically identified in writing as an
amendment thereto and issued as a Supplemental/Bid Bulletin.

10. Clarification and Amendment of Bidding Documents
10.1 Bidders who have purchased the BDs may request for clarification(s) on any part of
the BDs or for an interpretation. Such a request must be in writing and submitted to
the Procuring Entity at the address indicated in the BDS at least ten (10) calendar
days before the deadline set for the submission and receipt of Bids.
10.2 Supplemental/Bid Bulletins may be issued upon the Procuring Entity’s initiative for
purposes of clarifying or modifying any provision of the Bidding Documents not later
than seven (7) calendar days before the deadline for the submission and receipt of
Bids. Any modification to the Bidding Documents shall be identified as an amendment.
10.3 Any Supplemental/Bid Bulletin issued by the BAC shall also be posted on the websites
of the DPWH and the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System
(PhilGEPS). Unless otherwise provided in the BDS, it shall be the responsibility of all
Bidders who secure the Bidding Documents to inquire and secure Supplemental/Bid
Bulletins that may be issued by the BAC. However, bidders who have submitted bids
before the issuance of the Supplemental/Bid Bulletin must be informed and allowed to
modify or withdraw their bids in accordance with ITB Clause 23.

amended, or the Revised Penal Code.
In addition to the above, the Technical Component shall include the following
requirements:
(e) Bidder’s Preliminary Engineering Design Plan for the Project which shall comply
with the MPSS and show (a) the overall configuration of the facility when
completed, (b) the scope and components, and (c) the functions, service levels,
and performance characteristics of the Project outputs, with a degree of detail
within +/- 15-20 % of the final quantities of the Project components. Section VII

13. Documents Comprising the Bid: Financial Component
13.1 The Financial Component (second envelope) of the Bid shall include the following:
(a) Bid Form, indicating the lump-sum bid price, which shall include the detailed
engineering cost.
(b) Detailed estimates, including a summary sheet indicating the unit prices of
construction materials, labor rates and equipment rentals used in coming up with
the bid.
(c) Cash flow by quarter (Use Form DPWH-INFR-18).
13.2 Unless indicated in the BDS, all Bids that exceed the ABC shall not be accepted.
14. Alternative Bids
14.1 Alternative Bids shall be rejected. For this purpose, alternative bid is an offer made by
a Bidder in addition or as a substitute to its original bid which may be included as part
of its original bid or submitted separately therewith for purposes of bidding. A bid with
20

options is considered an alternative bid regardless of whether said bid proposal is

contained in a single envelope or submitted in two (2) or more separate bid envelopes.
14.2 Bidders shall submit offers that comply with the requirements of the Bidding
Documents, including the basic technical design as indicated in the drawings and
specifications. Unless there is a value engineering clause in the BDS, alternative bids
shall not be accepted.
14.3 Each Bidder shall submit only one Bid, either individually or as a partner in a JV. A
Bidder who submits or participates in more than one bid (other than as a subcontractor
if a subcontractor is permitted to participate in more than one bid) will cause all the
proposals with the Bidder’s participation to be disqualified. This shall be without
prejudice to any applicable criminal, civil and administrative penalties that may be
imposed upon the persons and entities concerned.
15. Bid Prices
15.1 The contract shall be for the whole Works, as described in ITB Clause 1.1, based on
the priced Bill of Quantities submitted by the Bidder.
15.2 The Bidder shall fill in rates and prices for all items of the Works described in the Bill
of Quantities. Bids not addressing or providing all of the required items in the Bidding
Documents 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 zero (0) or a dash (-) for the said item would mean that it is being
offered for free to the Government, except those required by law or regulations to be
provided for.
15.3 All duties, taxes, and other levies payable by the Contractor under the Contract, or for
any other cause, prior to the deadline for submission of bids, shall be included in the
rates, prices, and total bid price submitted by the Bidder.
15.4 All bid prices for the given scope of work in the contract as awarded shall be considered
as fixed prices, and therefore not subject to price escalation during contract
implementation, except under extraordinary circumstances as specified in GCC Clause
47. Upon the recommendation of the Procuring Entity, price escalation may be allowed
in extraordinary circumstances as may be determined by the National Economic and
Development Authority in accordance with the Civil Code of the Philippines, and upon
approval by the GPPB. Furthermore, in cases where the cost of the awarded contract
is affected by any applicable new laws, ordinances, regulations, or other acts of the
GoP, promulgated after the date of bid opening, a contract price adjustment shall be
made or appropriate relief shall be applied on a no loss-no gain basis.
16. Bid Currencies
21

16.1 All bid prices shall be quoted in Philippine Pesos unless otherwise provided in the BDS.
However, for purposes of bid evaluation, bids denominated in foreign currencies shall
be converted to Philippine currency based on the exchange rate prevailing on the day
of the Bid opening.
16.2 If so allowed in accordance with ITB Clause 16.1, the Procuring Entity 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 rate
as published in the BSP reference rate bulletin on the day of the bid opening.
16.3 Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, payment of the contract price shall be made in
Philippine Pesos.
17. Bid Validity
17.1 Bids shall remain valid for the period specified in the BDS which shall not exceed one
hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the opening of bids.
17.2 In exceptional circumstances, prior to the expiration of the bid validity period, the
Procuring Entity may request Bidders to extend the period of validity of their bids. The
request and the responses shall be made in writing. The Bid Security described in ITB
Clause 18 should also be extended corresponding to the extension of the bid validity
period at the least. A Bidder may refuse the request without forfeiting its Bid Security,
but his bid shall no longer be considered for further evaluation and award. A Bidder
granting the request shall not be required or permitted to modify its bid.
18. Bid Security
18.1 The Bidder shall submit to the Procuring Entity, as part of its Bid, a Bid Security in
Philippine Pesos currency in any of the following forms and corresponding amounts:
Table 18.1 Forms and Amounts of Bid Security

and committing to pay the corresponding fine and be suspended for a period of time
22

from being qualified to participate in any government activity in the event it violates
any of the conditions stated therein as required in the guidelines issued by the
Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB).
18.2 The Bid Security should be valid for the period specified in the BDS.
18.3 Any Bid not accompanied by an acceptable Bid Security shall be rejected by the
Procuring Entity as non-responsive.
18.4 No Bid Securities shall be returned to Bidders after the opening of Bids and before
contract signing, except to those that failed to comply with any of the requirements to
be submitted in the Technical Proposal and Financial Proposal of the Bid, as provided
in the IRR of R.A. 9184. Without prejudice to the forfeiture of Bid Securities, Bid
Securities shall be returned only after the Bidder with the Lowest Calculated
Responsive Bid has signed the Contract and furnished the Performance Security, but
in no case later than the expiration of the Bid Security validity period indicated in the
BDS.
18.5 The Bid Security may be forfeited:
(a) if the Bidder withdraws its Bid after Bid opening during the period of Bid validity;
or
(b) if the Bidder does not accept the correction by the Bids and Awards Committee
of arithmetical and computational errors in its Bid prices; or
(c) in the case of the winning Bidder, if the Bidder fails, within ten (10) days from its
receipt of the Notice of Award, to:
(1) submit to the Procuring Entity the following documents:

order to influence the outcome of the eligibility screening or any other
stage of the bidding; or
(ii) if the Bidder submits Bids that contain false information or falsified
documents, or conceals such information in the Bids, in order to
influence the outcome of the bidding; or
(iii) if the Bidder allows the use of its name by another contractor, or uses
the name of another contractor, for purposes of public bidding; or
23

(iv) if the Bidder refuses to clarify or validate in writing its Bid during post-
qualification within a period of seven (7) calendar days from receipt
of the request for clarification; or
(v) if the Bidder makes any documented unsolicited attempt to unduly
influence the outcome of the bidding in its favor; or
(vi) if the Bidder commits any other act that tends to defeat the purpose
of the competitive bidding, such as habitually withdrawing from
bidding or submitting letters of non-participation for at least three (3)
times within twelve (12) months, except for valid reasons.
19. Format and Signing of Bids
19.1 Bidders shall submit their bids through their duly authorized representative using the
appropriate forms provided in Section IX - Bidding Forms on or before the deadline
specified in the ITB Clause 21 in two (2) separate sealed bid envelopes, and which
shall be submitted simultaneously. The first envelope shall contain the Technical
Component of the bid, including the eligibility requirements under ITB Clause 12,
and the second envelope shall contain the Financial Component of the bid.
19.2 Forms as mentioned in ITB Clause 19.1 must be completed without any alterations
to their format, and no substitute form shall be accepted. All blank spaces shall be
filled in with the information requested.
19.3 The Bidder shall prepare an original of the first and second envelopes as described in
ITB Clauses 12 and 13. In addition, the Bidder shall submit copies of the first and
second envelopes. In the event of any discrepancy between the original and the

19.4 The bid, except for unamended printed literature, shall be signed, and each and every
page thereof shall be initialed, by the duly authorized representative/s of the Bidder.
19.5 Any interlineations, erasures, or overwriting shall be valid only if they are signed or
initialed by the duly authorized representative/s of the Bidder.
20. Sealing and Marking of Bids
20.1 Unless otherwise indicated in the BDS, Bidders shall enclose their original Technical
Component documents described in ITB Clause 12, in one sealed envelope marked
“ORIGINAL - TECHNICAL COMPONENT”, and the original of their Financial Component
documents in another sealed envelope marked “ORIGINAL - FINANCIAL
COMPONENT”, sealing them all in an outer envelope marked “ORIGINAL BID”.
20.2 Each copy of the first and second envelopes shall be similarly sealed duly marking the
inner envelopes as “COPY NO. ___ - TECHNICAL COMPONENT” and “COPY NO. ___ –
FINANCIAL COMPONENT” and the outer envelope as “COPY NO. ___”, respectively.
24

These envelopes containing the original and the copies shall then be enclosed in one
single envelope.
20.3 The original and the number of copies of the Bid as indicated in the BDS shall be typed
or written in indelible ink and shall be signed by the bidder or its duly authorized
representative/s.
20.4 All envelopes shall:

bids, in accordance with ITB Clause 21.
20.5 If bids are not sealed and marked as required, the Procuring Entity will assume no
responsibility for the misplacement or premature opening of the bid.
D. SUBMISSION AND OPENING OF BIDS
21. Deadline for Submission of Bids
Bids must be received by the Procuring Entity’s BAC at the address and on or before
the date and time indicated in the BDS.
22. Late Bids
Any bid submitted after the deadline for submission and receipt of bids prescribed by
the Procuring Entity, pursuant to ITB Clause 21, shall be declared “Late” and shall
not be accepted by the Procuring Entity.
23. Modification and Withdrawal of Bids
23.1 The Bidder may modify its bid after it has been submitted; provided that the
modification is received by the Procuring Entity prior to the deadline prescribed for
submission and receipt of bids. The Bidder shall not be allowed to retrieve its original
bid, but shall be allowed to submit another bid equally sealed, properly identified,
linked to its original bid marked as “TECHNICAL MODIFICATION” or “FINANCIAL
MODIFICATION” and stamped “received” by the BAC. Bid modifications received after
the applicable deadline shall not be considered and shall be returned to the Bidder
unopened.
23.2 A Bidder may, through a letter of withdrawal, withdraw its bid after it has been
submitted, for valid and justifiable reason; provided that the letter of withdrawal is
25

received by the Procuring Entity prior to the deadline prescribed for submission and
receipt of bids.
23.3 Bids requested to be withdrawn in accordance with ITB Clause 24.2 shall be returned
unopened to the Bidders. A Bidder may also express its intention not to participate in
the bidding through a letter which should reach and be stamped by the BAC before
the deadline for submission and receipt of bids. A Bidder that withdraws its bid shall
not be permitted to submit another bid, directly or indirectly, for the same contract.
23.4 No bid may be modified after the deadline for submission of bids. No bid may be
withdrawn in the interval between the deadline for submission of bids and the
expiration of the period of bid validity specified by the Bidder on the Financial Bid
Form. Withdrawal of a bid during this interval shall result in the forfeiture of the
Bidder’s bid security, pursuant to ITB Clause 18.5, and the imposition of
administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions as prescribed by RA 9184 and its IRR.
24. Opening and Preliminary Examination of Technical Components of Bids
24.1 The BAC shall open the Bid envelopes in the presence of Bidders’ representatives who
choose to attend, at the time, on the date, and at the place specified in the BDS.
Bidders’ representatives who are present shall sign a register evidencing their
attendance.
24.2 The BAC shall read out and record letters of withdrawal, and return the unopened
envelopes containing the corresponding withdrawn Bid to the Bidders concerned. If
the withdrawing Bidder’s representative is present, the BAC shall return the original
Bid and all copies thereof to that representative during the Bid opening. If the
representative is absent, the BAC shall return the unopened Bid by registered mail.
The Bidder may withdraw its Bid before the deadline for submission and receipt of
Bids, provided that its letter of withdrawal contains a valid justification requesting such
withdrawal, subject to appropriate administrative sanctions.
24.3 Outer envelopes marked “TECHNICAL MODIFICATION” or “FINANCIAL

MODIFICATION” shall be identified but not opened. The BAC shall announce the
presence and type of modification from the information contained on the outer
envelope.
24.4 The BAC shall then conduct the Preliminary Examination of the Bids. The purpose of
this examination is solely to determine the “presence or absence” of each of the
required documents comprising the bid, as stated in Clause 12 above, using a simple
non-discretionary “pass (if present) or fail (if absent)” criterion, with the aid of
checklists.
24.5 The BAC shall first open and undertake the Preliminary Examination of the envelopes
containing the Technical Components of the Bids, one at a time, and reading out and
recording the following:
(a) Name of the Bidder.
26

(b) Whether there is a technical modification or substitution.

(c) Presence, amount and validity of the Bid Security.
(d) Presence or absence of each document comprising the Technical Proposal vis-à-
vis a checklist of the required documents.
24.6 The BAC of the Procuring Entity shall determine each Bidder’s compliance with the
documents required to be submitted for the Technical Component of the Bid, as
prescribed in ITB Clause 12. For this purpose, the BAC shall check the submitted
documents in the Technical Component envelope against a checklist of required
documents to ascertain if the latter are all present in the Technical Component
envelope. If the required document is present, the Technical Component shall be
rated as “passed” for that particular requirement. On the other hand, if the required
document is absent, i.e., missing, incomplete or patently insufficient, the Technical
Component shall be rated as “failed” for that particular requirement. In case one or
more of the required documents in the Technical Component of a particular Bid is
absent - i.e., missing, incomplete, or patently insufficient - the BAC shall rate the
Technical Component as “failed” and immediately return to the Bidder concerned its
second envelope (Financial Component) unopened. If all of the required documents
in the Technical Component envelope are present, the Technical Component is rated
as “passed.”
25. Eligibility Check
25.1 Unless otherwise indicated in the BDS, after the Preliminary Examination of the
Technical Components of the Bids, the BAC, assisted by its BAC Secretariat, shall
conduct the Eligibility Check of each bidder that passed the documentary requirements
for the Technical Component of the Bids - i.e., the BAC shall determine if the bidder is
eligible to bid for the contract being procured. For the construction component, this
shall be done electronically by computer using the data and program in the DPWH
CWA. For the design component, this will be done manually.
25.2 For the construction component, the BAC shall undertake the Eligibility Check
electronically using the data and program in the DPWH CWA. The BAC shall enter into
the CWA the PCAB License Number and/or name of each bidder for the contract to be
procured. At this time, it is presumed that the BAC had already approved the Bidding
Documents for the contract to be procured, and that the BAC Secretariat had already
entered into the CWA the Contract Profile (CP) which provides the basic contract data,
including the ABC, works similar to those of the contract to be bid, and contract
duration. The CWA program will then electronically process and determine if the bidder
meets the following eligibility requirements:
(a) The cost of the bidder’s largest completed similar contract is at least 50% of the
ABC of the project to be procured.
(b) The bidder’s NFCC is at least equal to ABC of the project to be procured.
25.3 For the design component, the BAC shall check if the bidder meets the following
eligibility requirements:
27

(a) The DB contractor, as solo or as one of the parties in a JV/consortium, has

satisfactorily completed the design of at least one similar project costing at least
50% of the cost of the ABC of the DB project to be procured.
(b) The designated design professionals possess valid licenses issued by the PRC.
(c) The designated design manager has a minimum experience of two (2) years of
design work in the same position and/or on project categories similar to the
contract at hand, and a minimum total design experience of five (5) years
regardless of position or structure category.
25.4 If the bidder complies with the criteria in Clauses 25.2 and 25.3 above, the BAC shall
consider the bidder as eligible.
25.5 During the bids opening session, the BAC will issue the Notices of Eligibility and
Ineligibility to the bidders concerned. The reasons for ineligibility will also be
automatically shown in the Notices of Ineligibility. If any of the bidders immediately
agrees to their ineligibility as indicated in the Notices, the BAC shall promptly not
consider its bid and thus return its Financial Component envelope to the bidder
unopened. If, on the other hand, any of the bidders indicate its intent to seek a
reconsideration of its declared ineligibility, the BAC shall set aside its sealed Financial
Component envelope which shall be signed on its cover by the bidder and other
competing bidders and members of the BAC. The bidder has three (3) calendar days
upon written notice or, if present at the time of bid opening, upon verbal notification
within which to file a request for reconsideration with the BAC. If, after evaluating the
bidder’s request for reconsideration, the BAC finds the bidder to be eligible for the
contract at hand, the BAC shall set the date and time for the opening of its Financial
Component envelope.
25.6 In either case - i.e., the ineligible bidder accepting its ineligibility or expressing its
intent to seek a reconsideration of its ineligibility - the BAC shall then proceed with the
opening and preliminary examination of the Financial Component of the bids of the
bidders that are declared eligible.
E. BID EVALUATION AND POST-QUALIFICATION
26. Detailed Evaluation of Bids
26.1 The BAC shall evaluate, in detail, the bids that passed the Preliminary Examination and
Eligibility Check in order to determine the Lowest Calculated Bid (LCB).
26.2 Apart from the Eligibility Requirements, the BAC shall evaluate if the bidder meets all
of the other Technical Component requirements, particularly the following:
(a) Bid Security as to compliance with the allowable form, amount and validity period.
(b) Project Requirements covering the organizational chart for the contract, key
personnel, major construction and laboratory equipment, and Omnibus Sworn
Statement.
28

(c) Adherence of Bidder’s Preliminary Engineering Design Plans to the required MPSS,
including degree of detail. The BAC shall also rate the bidder on this criterion on
a “pass/fail” basis. Hence, if the BAC finds that all of the bidder’s Preliminary
Engineering Design Plans comply or adhere to the MPSS, the BAC shall rate the
bidder “passed.” If the BAC finds that any of the bidder’s Preliminary Engineering
Design Plans does not adhere to the MPSS, the BAC shall rate the bidder “failed.”
(d) Adequacy of concept of approach and methodology for detailed engineering

design and construction, with emphasis on the clarity, feasibility, innovativeness
and comprehensiveness of the plan approach, and the quality of interpretation of
project problems, risks, and suggested solutions. The BAC shall rate the bidder
on this criterion using the rating system prescribed in Table 24 under Section
6.1.12 of the DPWH Procurement Manual, Volume II (Infrastructure), which gives
the maximum possible points for each sub-criterion. To qualify, the bidder must
obtain a minimum or passing rating of 50 points on this criterion.
(e) Quality of personnel to be assigned to the project which covers suitability of key
staff to perform the duties of the particular assignments and general
qualifications and competence, including education and training of the key staff.
For this purpose, the bidder must meet the following minimum work experience
requirements for the key personnel specified in ITB Clause 12.2(d)(2). Similar
experience means design/construction experience in the same position and/or in
the same/similar project category. Total experience means total
design/construction experience regardless of position or project category. The
BAC shall also rate the bidder on this criterion on a “pass/fail” basis.
26.3 All bidders that pass all of the Technical Evaluation criteria under ITB Clause 26.2
shall be considered on equal footing. No bonus points shall be given to a bidder that
submits a Conceptual Design and Methodology that exceeds the requirements of the
MPSS or key personnel whose work experience exceeds the minimum required.
26.4 The BAC shall then conduct a detailed evaluation of the Financial Proposal of each
bidder that passes the Technical Proposal requirements. The BAC shall use non-
discretionary criteria – including arithmetical corrections for computational errors – as
stated in the Section 3.6.4 of the DPM Volume II, and thus determine the correct total
calculated bid prices. The BAC shall automatically disqualify any total calculated bid
price which exceeds the ABC. The total calculated bid prices (not exceeding the ABC)
shall be ranked, in ascending order, from lowest to highest, and recorded in the
Abstract of Bids as Calculated, using Form DPWH-INFR-35.
26.5 The bid with the lowest total calculated bid price shall be identified as the Lowest
Calculated Bid (LCB).
27. Clarification of Bids
To assist in the evaluation, comparison and post-qualification of the bids, the

Procuring Entity may ask in writing any Bidder for a clarification of its bid. All
responses to requests for clarification shall be in writing. Any clarification submitted
29

by a Bidder in respect to its bid and that is not in response to a request by the
Procuring Entity shall not be considered.
28. Post-Qualification
28.1 The Procuring Entity shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Bidder that is
evaluated as having submitted the Lowest Calculated Bid (LCB) complies with and is
responsive to all the requirements and conditions specified in ITB Clauses 5, 12, and
13.
28.2 Within a non-extendible period of five (5) calendar days from receipt by the Bidder of
the notice from the BAC that it submitted the LCB, the Bidder shall submit the following
documentary requirements:
(a) Latest income and business tax returns.

(b) Other appropriate licenses and permits required by law and stated in the BDS.
Failure of the Bidder declared as LCB to duly submit the requirements under this
Clause or a finding against the veracity of such, shall be ground for forfeiture of the
bid security and disqualification of the Bidder for award.
28.3 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence
of the Bidder’s qualifications submitted pursuant to ITB Clauses 5, 12, and 13, as
well as other information as the Procuring Entity deems necessary and appropriate,
using non-discretionary “pass/fail” criteria.
28.4 If the BAC determines that the Bidder with the Lowest Calculated Bid passes all the
criteria for post-qualification, it shall declare the said bid as the Lowest Calculated
Responsive Bid, and recommend to the Head of the Procuring Entity the award of
contract to the said Bidder at its submitted price or its calculated bid price, whichever
is lower, subject to ITB Clause 30.3.
28.5 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.
28.6 Within a period not exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt of
the recommendation of the BAC, the Head of the Procuring Entity shall approve or
disapprove the said recommendation.
29. Reservation Clause
29.1 Notwithstanding the eligibility or post-qualification of a bidder, the Procuring Entity

concerned reserves the right to review its qualifications at any stage of the
procurement process if it has reasonable grounds to believe that a misrepresentation
30

has been made by the said bidder, or that there has been a change in the Bidder’s
capability to undertake the project from the time it submitted its eligibility
requirements. Should such review uncover any misrepresentation made in the
eligibility and bidding requirements, statements or documents, or any changes in the
situation of the Bidder which will affect its capability to undertake the project so that
it fails the preset eligibility or bid evaluation criteria, the Procuring Entity shall consider
the said Bidder as ineligible and shall disqualify it from submitting a bid or from
obtaining an award or contract.
29.2 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:
(1) 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.
(2) If the project is no longer necessary as determined by the head of the
procuring entity.
(3) If the source of funds for the project has been withheld or reduced through
no fault of the Procuring Entity.
29.3 In addition, the Procuring Entity may likewise declare a failure of bidding when:
(a) 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 award is made.

as the “retention money.” Such retention shall be based on the total amount
due to the Contractor prior to any deduction and shall be retained from every
progress payment until fifty percent (50%) of the value of Works, as
determined by the Procuring Entity, are completed. If, after fifty percent (50%)
completion, the Work is satisfactorily done and on schedule, no additional
retention shall be made; otherwise, the ten percent (10%) retention shall again
be imposed using the rate specified therefor.
41.3 The total “retention money” shall be due for release upon final acceptance of
the Works. The Contractor may, however, request the substitution of the
retention money for each progress billing with irrevocable standby letters of
credit from a commercial bank, bank guarantees or surety bonds callable on

acceptable to the Procuring Entity, provided that the project is on schedule and
is satisfactorily undertaken. Otherwise, the ten (10%) percent retention shall

money with an “on demand” Bank guarantee in a form acceptable to the
Procuring Entity.
42. Variation Orders
42.1 Variation Orders may be issued by the Procuring Entity to cover any
increase/decrease in quantities, including the introduction of new work items
that are not included in the original contract or reclassification of work items
that are either due to change of plans, design or alignment to suit actual field
conditions resulting in disparity between the preconstruction plans used for
purposes of bidding and the “as staked plans” or construction drawings
prepared after a joint survey by the Contractor and the Procuring Entity after
award of the contract, provided that the cumulative amount of the Variation
Order does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the original project cost. The
addition/deletion of Works should be within the general scope of the project as
bid and awarded. The scope of works shall not be reduced so as to
accommodate a positive Variation Order. A Variation Order may either be in
the form of a Change Order or Extra Work Order.

the notice of termination.
45.4 If the Contractor has terminated the Contract under GCC Clauses 17 or 18,
the Procuring Entity shall promptly return the Performance Security to the
Contractor.
46. Extension of Contract Time
46.1 Should the amount of additional work of any kind or other special
circumstances of any kind whatsoever occur such as to fairly entitle the
contractor to an extension of contract time, the Procuring Entity shall determine
the amount of such extension; provided that the Procuring Entity is not bound
to take into account any claim for an extension of time unless the Contractor
has, prior to the expiration of the contract time and within thirty (30) calendar
days after such work has been commenced or after the circumstances leading
to such claim have arisen, delivered to the Procuring Entity notices in order
that it could have investigated them at that time. Failure to provide such notice
shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of any claim. Upon receipt of full
and detailed particulars, the Procuring Entity shall examine the facts and extent
of the delay and shall extend the contract time completing the contract work
when, in the Procuring Entity’s opinion, the findings of facts justify an
extension.
46.2 No extension of contract time shall be granted the Contractor due to (a)
ordinary unfavorable weather conditions and (b) inexcusable failure or
negligence of Contractor to provide the required equipment, supplies or
materials.
46.3 Extension of contract time may be granted only when the affected activities fall
within the critical path of the PERT/CPM network.
81

CONTRACT (GCC)
46.4 No extension of contract time shall be granted when the reason given to
support the request for extension was already considered in the determination
of the original contract time during the conduct of detailed engineering and in
the preparation of the contract documents as agreed upon by the parties before
contract perfection.
46.5 Extension of contract time shall be granted for rainy/unworkable days

considered unfavorable for the prosecution of the works at the site, based on
the actual conditions obtained at the site, in excess of the number of
rainy/unworkable days pre-determined by the Procuring Entity in relation to
the original contract time during the conduct of detailed engineering and in the
preparation of the contract documents as agreed upon by the parties before
contract perfection, and/or for equivalent period of delay due to major
calamities such as exceptionally destructive typhoons, floods and earthquakes,
and epidemics, and for causes such as non-delivery on time of materials,
working drawings, or written information to be furnished by the Procuring
Entity, non-acquisition of permit to enter private properties within the right-of-
way resulting in complete paralyzation of construction activities, and other
meritorious causes as determined by the Procuring Entity’s Representative and
approved by the Head of the Procuring Entity. Shortage of construction
materials, general labor strikes, and peace and order problems that disrupt
construction operations through no fault of the Contractor may be considered
as additional grounds for extension of contract time provided they are publicly
felt and certified by appropriate government agencies such as DTI, DOLE,
DILG, and DND, among others. The written consent of bondsmen must be
attached to any request of the Contractor for extension of contract time and
submitted to the Procuring Entity for consideration and the validity of the
Performance Security shall be correspondingly extended.
