[including the owner, the directors, the manager(s) or any of the
employees] has been formerly connected with ADB in any capacity as a
regular or contractual staff or as a consultant. Failure to disclose this
information may be grounds for disqualifying the Bidder or for immediate
termination of the Contract with the Bidder.

7. Pre-Bid Meeting and Site Inspection
(ii) furnish all information that may be necessary for preparing the Bid
and entering into a Contract; and
7.2. Bidders are advised to send appropriate representatives to attend the Pre-
Bid meeting. Any claim by the Bidder to change the substance of the Bid
due to his failure to understand the requirements will not be entertained. A
site inspection will be held immediately after the Pre-Bid meeting. Taking
of photos during the site inspection is not allowed. After completion of the
site inspection, the Certificate of Site Inspection must be completed by
the Bidder for countersignature and confirmation of an ADB designated
representative.
8.1. At any time prior to the deadline for submission of Bids, ADB may for any
reason modify the Bid Documents by issuing addenda.
8.2. Any addendum issued will form part of the Bid Documents and will be
communicated in writing or by email to all Bidders. The transmittal of the
addendum to the Bidders on the email addresses or facsimile numbers
submitted will relieve ADB of its obligations to notify the Bidders of the said
addendum.
C. Preparation of Bids
9.3. The Bid Documents as herein listed will be duly completed with all entries
typed or printed in ink.
5
9.4. The completed Technical and Financial Bid Forms will be without

profit; and (vii) incidental expenses for the provision of the required
Services. Since ADB is exempted from paying taxes and duties under the
Articles of Agreement Establishing the Asian Development Bank (Charter)
and the Agreement between the Asian Development Bank and the
Government of the Republic of the Philippines regarding the Headquarters
of the Asian Development Bank (Headquarters Agreement) the Bidder will
calculate its prices for the service items exclusive of all applicable taxes.
12.2. The Bid price offered in the Financial Bid Form will be for full execution of
the Services in every respect. The Bidder will be deemed to have taken
account of all the requirements, whether expressed or implied, covered by
all parts of the Bid Documents and other stipulated documents, and to have
priced the items in the Bid Form accordingly.
12.3. The Bid price under the terms and conditions specified in the Contract will
be deemed to be firm and fixed. No claim for adjustments in the contract
prices based on the Bids will be considered by ADB for any change in
foreign exchange rate, for any increase in wage rates, for any escalation
costs of office materials and supplies. Any such change, increase or
escalation will be deemed to have been taken into account and included in
the Bid price.

ADB will waive the Bid security requirement, provided the Bidder signs the Bid
Securing Declaration (Appendix 9) accepting that, if the Bidder withdraws or
modifies its Bid during the period of validity, or the Bidder is awarded the Contract,
and it fails to sign the Contract or submit a Performance Bond in accordance with
Clause 28, then the Bidder will be disqualified from bidding in any or all future
Contract with ADB.
A person or persons (in case of Joint Venture) duly authorized to bind the Bidder
to the Contract will sign the Bid. Proof of authorization will be furnished in the
form of a Secretary’s Certificate or Written Power of Attorney which will
accompany the Bid. The name and position held by each person signing the
authorization and the duly authorized person or persons must be typed or

1.05 DEFINITIONS OF PARTS
a. UPS Module: The portion of the UPS system, which contains the rectifier/charger,
inverter, static by-pass switch, controls, monitoring, and indicators.
b. Inverter: The portion of the UPS module, which converts DC power, from either the
rectifier/charger or the battery, to regulated and filtered AC power, which is supplied
to the critical load.
c. Rectifier/Charger: The portion of the UPS module, which converts the normal
source AC input power to DC power for the inverter input and for charging the
battery.
d. Static Bypass Switch: The portion of the UPS module which automatically transfers
the critical loads, without interruption, from the inverter output to the bypass
AC power source in the event of an overload or degradation of the inverter's
performance.
e. Maintenance Bypass Switch: The portion of the UPS module which is used to
connect the bypass AC power source to the critical loads while electrically isolating
the static bypass switch, rectifier/charger and inverter for maintenance purposes.
f. Battery: The battery system that provides DC power to the inverter input when the
normal AC input power to the UPS module fails or in the event that the
rectifier/charger should fail.
g. Critical Loads: Those loads that require regulated continuous AC power and which
are connected to the output of the UPS of the UPS system.
a. Under normal condition, the inverter shall supply AC power continuously to the
critical loads. The inverter output shall be synchronized with the static bypass AC
power source provided that the bypass AC power source is within the specified
frequency range. The rectifier/charger shall convert the normal AC input power to
DC power for the inverter and for charging the batteries. The battery charger is
connected to DC Link and shall provide energy to recharge the batteries.
c. When the input AC power returns to normal condition, the rectifier/charger shall start
and assume the DC load from the batteries. The rectifier/charger shall then
simultaneously supply the inverter with DC power and recharge the batteries. This
shall be an automatic function and shall cause no disturbance to the critical load.
Page 4 of 12
Attachment 1 to WPS
d. Transfer of critical loads to Static Bypass AC supply shall automatically effected if
the control circuitry senses an overload, an inverter shutdown signal or degradation
of the inverter output. The transfer from inverter to static by-pass shall be without
interruption of power. If the bypass AC power source is above or below normal
voltage limits, then the transfer shall be inhibited
f. Downgrade: If the batteries are taken out of service for maintenance, it shall be
disconnected from the rectifier/charger and inverter. The UPS shall continue to
function and meet the performance criteria specified herein except for the battery

Security, impose liquidated damages, or terminate the Contract for default.

constitute a waiver of that right or remedy nor diminish the obligations
established by the Contract.

constitute a waiver of any right or remedy arising from any other or
subsequent breach of the Contract.
31.1. The Contract supersedes all prior written or verbal agreement between ADB
and the SUPPLIER and contains the reciprocal obligations of the parties
pertaining to or arising out of the delivery of the Goods. However, this shall
not excuse any Party from liability arising from fraud or fraudulent

32.1. ADB and the SUPPLIER shall keep confidential and shall not, without the
written consent of the other party hereto, divulge to any third party to the
Contract, any of its provisions, documents, data, or other information

above, the SUPPLIER may furnish to its Personnel and/or Subcontractor
such documents, data, and other information it receives from ADB to the
extent required for the Personnel and/or Subcontractor to perform its work
under the Contract, in which event the SUPPLIER shall obtain from such
Personnel and/or Subcontractor an undertaking of confidentiality similar to
that imposed on the SUPPLIER under GCC Paragraph 32.

from the other party; or

32.5. The SUPPLIER shall not make any press announcement; publicize the
Contract or any part thereof; or use ADB's name in publicity releases or

SUPPLIER shall extend to ADB or its representatives access to those records
that ADB may request in connection with the Contract.
33.1. ADB and the SUPPLIER shall exert efforts to amicably resolve by mutual

of the Contract within thirty [30] days of either Party's notice of the dispute to
the other. During this period, the User Unit, in consultation with OAIS-
PC/CAU, and the SUPPLIER's personnel directly involved should first attempt
in good faith to settle the dispute among themselves before escalating it to
the Principal Director, OAS and their respective counterpart/s.
33.2. After the initial thirty [30] day-period, the Parties shall consider referring
unresolved disputes to mediation, unless ADB considers the dispute not
suitable for mediation or the SUPPLIER does not consent. The Parties shall
appoint a neutral mediator from a reputable association of accredited
mediators or their own short-list of dispute resolution professionals. The
mediator shall formulate a simplified procedure for mediation and complete
the mediation within fifteen [15] days from his appointment.
33.3. Should efforts to resolve disputes under the preceding Subparagraphs fail,
either party shall commence arbitration by sending notice to the other party
stating in detail the issue to be resolved and that the dispute shall be referred
to arbitration. The International Chamber of Commerce's [ICC] Rules of
Arbitration in force upon commencement of arbitration shall apply. The
arbitration shall be in English; it shall take place in Manila and be governed by
Philippine law. Each party shall pay its own costs.

declared by the contractor to the ISO Secretariat for approval. A material safety data sheet
complete with emergency safety information in relation to fire, spill, fumes, allergy, accidental
ingestion, etc., must be submitted to OAOD-SBG. The security contractor shall carry out a
detailed inspection of the material and ensure that safe handling procedures are followed.
M. Fire Safety

the Facilities Planning and Management Unit (OAFA-FM) prior to commencing any hot work
operations (e.g., welding, cutting, and grinding). The SEO shall ensure that the site of the hot
work is free from any flammables. In this case, it is the responsibility of the contractor to make
arrangements for fire protection equipment. OAOD-SBG, upon prior notification, shall deploy a
firewatch to ensure that the work is performed safely. Use of personal appliances like water
heaters etc are not allowed inside ADB

soon as possible; and
(iv) Stay calm and help others requiring assistance.
19. Prior to entry into confined spaces (voids, tanks, tunnels, vaults) a Permit to Work shall
be obtained from the ADB staff overseeing the contractor’s work. A technician must examine
and declare the space safe and free from toxic, flammable and explosive gases. Further, if the
oxygen content is found to be below 19.5% it should be declared immediately dangerous to life
and health. OAOD-SBG, upon proper notification, shall provide personnel equipped with self-
contained breathing apparatus for standby rescue.
20. In the event of emergencies requiring evacuation, alarms shall be sounded and
instructions shall be relayed over the ADB’s voice communications system. Elevators must not
be used for evacuation during emergencies. Elevators shall automatically proceed to the ground
floor level when the alarm is activated. Lights should be left on and doors should be closed but
not locked. The passageways should be clear of obstructions. All contractors’ personnel should
proceed to the nearest exit and follow instructions from the security personnel.
O. Earthquake
21. In the event of an earthquake, contractor’s personnel should take shelter initially, away
from outside walls and glass partitions or windows. After the initial shock, they should evacuate
the building in an orderly manner, staying away from large items of furniture such as bookcases,
cabinets, or electrical installations that may have been made unsafe by the tremor. The building
shall be surveyed by OAFA-FM before normal work can be resumed. The contractor’s
personnel shall be notified when the building has been declared safe; otherwise re-entry to the
building is prohibited.
22. The contractor is responsible for monitoring the physical and mental health condition of
its personnel. Personnel suffering from communicable diseases should be immediately treated
in accordance with the universally accepted medical practices. All contractor’s personnel should
be certified physically and mentally fit by a reputable medical facility and the contractor must be
able to present such certifications at any time requested by ADB.
V. Smoking
23. Contractor’s personnel shall comply with ADB’s Guidelines on the Use of Centralized
Smoking Lounges (see attached), which prohibits smoking anywhere outside the designated
smoking lounges on the ADB Headquarters premises, to protect non-smokers from exposure to
second-hand tobacco smoke. Repeat violations and abusive behavior in response to a request
for compliance by contractor’s personnel shall be escalated to the Procurement and Contracts
Administration Unit (OAIS-PC).
24. Contractor’s personnel shall also comply with other guidelines, rules and regulations on
smoking that may be issued by ADB to protect the health and well-being of all persons within
ADB premises.

have committed criminal offense may be placed on preventive suspension.
26. OAOD-SBG shall conduct unannounced and random inspections and searches of
lockers, work areas and offices and conduct body frisking in aid of any investigation. A
