number of contracts (lots) of this tendering are provided in the BDS.
2. Throughout this Tendering Document:
(a) the term “in writing” means communicated in written form and delivered against receipt;
(b) except where the context requires otherwise, words indicating the singular also include the
plural and words indicating the plural also include the singular; and
(c) “day” means calendar day.
3. Source of Funds
4. The Procuring Entity (Employer) has an approved budget from the Government of the Maldives
which has been allocated towards the project indicated in the BDS. The Procuring Entity intends to

issued.
5. Payments will be made only at the request of the Procuring Entity in accordance with contact terms
and conditions and in accordance with financial legislation in force.
6. Fraud and Corruption
7. It is the Government’s policy to require that Procuring Entities, as well as Tenderers, suppliers,
contractors and their subcontractors observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement
and execution of such contracts. In pursuance of this policy, the Government:
(a) defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
(i) “corrupt practice” is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or

indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party;
(ii) “fraudulent practice” is any act or omission, including a misrepresentation, that

knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a
financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation;
(iii) “collusive practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to

achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of
another party;
(iv) “coercive practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm,

directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly
the actions of a party;
(v) "obstructive practice" is
(aa) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material

to the investigation or making false statements to investigators in order to
materially impede a Government investigation into allegations of a corrupt,
fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice; and/or threatening, harassing or
intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters
relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation; or
(bb) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the Government’s inspection
and audit rights provided for under sub-clause 3.1 (e) below.
(b) will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the Tenderer recommended for award
has, directly or through an agent, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive or
obstructive practices in competing for the contract in question;
(c) will cancel in whole or in part a contract if it determines at any time that representatives of
the Procuring Entity engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, or coercive practices during
the procurement or the execution of that contract, without the Government having taken
timely and appropriate action satisfactory to address such practices when they occur;
(d) will suspend a firm or individual from participation in public procurement, by declaring it
ineligible for a stated period of time, to be awarded a Government funded contract if it at
any time determines that the firm has, directly or through an agent, engaged in corrupt,
fraudulent, collusive, coercive or obstructive practices in competing for, or in executing, a
Government funded contract. The list of suspended firms is available at the electronic
address specified in the BDS; and
(e) will have the right to require that a provision be included in tender documents and in
contracts, requiring Tenderers, suppliers, and contractors and their sub-contractors to
permit the Employer to inspect their accounts and records and other documents relating to
the Tender submission and contract performance and to have them audited by auditors
appointed by the Government.
8. Furthermore, tenderers shall be aware of the provision stated in GCC Sub-Clauses 22.2 and 56.2
(h).
9. Eligible Tenderers
10. A Tenderer may be a natural person, private entity, or government-owned entity—subject to ITB
4.6—or any combination of them in the form of a joint venture, under an existing agreement, or
with the intent to constitute a legally-enforceable joint venture. Unless otherwise stated in the
BDS, all partners shall be jointly and severally liable for the execution of the Contract in
accordance with the Contract terms.
11. A Tenderer, and all parties constituting the Tenderer, shall have the nationality of an eligible
country, in accordance with Section V (Eligible Countries). A Tenderer shall be deemed to have the
nationality of a country if the Tenderer is a citizen or is constituted, or incorporated, and operates in
conformity with the provisions of the rules and regulation of Maldives. This criterion shall also
apply to the determination of the nationality of proposed subcontractors or suppliers for any part of
the Contract including related services.
12. A Tenderer shall meet the following criteria to be eligible to participate in public procurement:
(a) have the legal capacity to enter into the contract;
(b) not be insolvent, in receivership, bankrupt or being wound up, its affairs not being
administered by a court or a judicial officer, its business activities not being suspended and not
the subject of legal proceedings for any of the foregoing;
(c) have fulfilled its obligations to pay taxes.
(d) not have been, and its directors or officers not have been, convicted of any criminal offence
related to their professional conduct or the making of false statements or misrepresentations as

commencement of the procurement proceedings; and
(e) not have a conflict of interest in relation to the procurement requirement in accordance with
Sub-Clause 4.4.
(f) shall be a contractor who falls in to the grades of National Contractors Registry as specified in
the BDS.
13. A Tenderer shall not have a conflict of interest. All Tenderers found to have a conflict of interest
shall be disqualified. A Tenderer may be considered to have a conflict of interest with one or more
parties in this tendering process, if :
(a) they have a controlling partner in common; or
(b) they receive or have received any direct or indirect subsidy from any of them; or
(c) they have the same legal representative for purposes of this Tender; or
(d) they have a relationship with each other, directly or through common third parties, that puts
them in a position to have access to information about or influence on the Tender of another
Tenderer, or influence the decisions of the Employer regarding this tendering process; or
(e) a Tenderer participates in more than one Tender in this tendering process. Participation by a
Tenderer in more than one Tender will result in the disqualification of all Tenders in which the
party is involved. However, this does not limit the inclusion of the same subcontractor in
more than one Tender; or
(f) a Tenderer or any of its affiliates participated as a consultant in the preparation of the design or
technical specifications of the contract that is the subject of the Tender; or
(g) a Tenderer, or any of its affiliates has been hired (or is proposed to be hired) by the Employer
as Engineer for the contract.

in accordance with ITB 3, at the date of the deadline for Tender submission or thereafter, shall be
disqualified.
13.3 Government-owned enterprises in the Employer’s country shall be eligible only if they can
establish that they are legally and financially autonomous and operate under commercial law, and
that they are not a dependent agency of the Employer.
13.4 Tenderers shall provide such evidence of their continued eligibility satisfactory to the Employer, as
the Employer shall reasonably request.
13.5 In case a prequalification process has been conducted prior to the tendering process, this tendering
is open only to prequalified Tenderers.
14. Eligible Materials, Equipment and Services

14.1 The materials, equipment and services to be supplied under the Contract shall have their origin in
eligible source countries as defined in ITB 4.2 above and all expenditures under the Contract will
be limited to such materials, equipment, and services. At the Employer’s request, Tenderers may
be required to provide evidence of the origin of materials, equipment and services.
14.2 For purposes of ITB 5.1 above, “origin” means the place where the materials and equipment are
mined, grown, produced or manufactured, and from which the services are provided. Materials
and equipment are produced when, through manufacturing, processing, or substantial or major
assembling of components, a commercially recognized product results that differs substantially in
its basic characteristics or in purpose or utility from its components.

Tenderer wishes to contact the Employer on any matter related to the tendering process, it may do
so in writing.
52. Clarification of Tenders

53. To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of the Tenders, and qualification of the
Tenderers, the Employer may, at its discretion, ask any Tenderer for a clarification of its Tender.
Any clarification submitted by a Tenderer that is not in response to a request by the Employer shall
not be considered. The Employer’s request for clarification and the response shall be in writing. No

Tenders, in accordance with ITB 31.
54. If a Tenderer does not provide clarifications of its Tender by the date and time set in the Employer’s
request for clarification, its Tender may be rejected.
55. Deviations, Reservations, and Omissions

55.1 During the evaluation of Tenders, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Deviation” is a departure from the requirements specified in the Tendering Document;
(b) “Reservation” is the setting of limiting conditions or withholding from complete acceptance
of the requirements specified in the Tendering Document; and
(c) “Omission” is the failure to submit part or all of the information or documentation required in
the Tendering Document.
56. Determination of Responsiveness

56.1 The Employer’s determination of a Tender’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the
Tender itself, as defined in ITB11.
56.2 A substantially responsive Tender is one that meets the requirements of the Tendering Document
without material deviation, reservation, or omission. A material deviation, reservation, or omission
is one that,
(a) if accepted, would:
(i) affect in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the Works specified
in the Contract; or
(ii) limit in any substantial way, inconsistent with the Tendering Document, the Employer’s
rights or the Tenderer’s obligations under the proposed Contract; or
(b) if rectified, would unfairly affect the competitive position of other Tenderers presenting
substantially responsive Tenders.
56.3 The Employer shall examine the technical aspects of the Tender submitted in accordance with ITB
16, Technical Proposal, in particular, to confirm that all requirements of Section VI (Employer’s
Requirements) have been met without any material deviation, reservation or omission.
57. If a Tender is not substantially responsive to the requirements of the Tendering Document, it shall
be rejected by the Employer and may not subsequently be made responsive by correction of the
material deviation, reservation, or omission.
58. Nonconformities, Errors, and Omissions

59. Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Employer may waive any nonconformities in
the Tender.
60. Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Employer may request that the Tenderer
submit the necessary information or documentation, within a reasonable period of time, to rectify
nonmaterial nonconformities in the Tender related to documentation requirements. Requesting
information or documentation on such nonconformities shall not be related to any aspect of the
price of the Tender. Failure of the Tenderer to comply with the request may result in the rejection of
its Tender.
61. Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Employer shall rectify quantifiable
nonmaterial nonconformities related to the Tender Price. To this effect, the Tender Price may be
adjusted, for comparison purposes only, to reflect the price of a missing or non-conforming item or
component. The adjustment shall be made using the methods indicated in Section III (Evaluation
and Qualification Criteria).
62. Correction of Arithmetical Errors

63. Provided that the Tender is substantially responsive, the Employer shall correct arithmetical errors
on the following basis:
(a) only for unit price contracts, if there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price
that is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail and the
total price shall be corrected, unless in the opinion of the Employer there is an obvious
misplacement of the decimal point in the unit price, in which case the total price as quoted
shall govern and the unit price shall be corrected;
(b) if there is an error in a total corresponding to the addition or subtraction of subtotals, the
subtotals shall prevail and the total shall be corrected; and
(c) if there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words shall prevail, unless
the amount expressed in words is related to an arithmetic error, in which case the amount in
figures shall prevail subject to (a) and (b) above.
64. If the Tenderer that submitted the lowest evaluated Tender does not accept the correction of errors,
its Tender shall be declared non-responsive.
65. Conversion to Single Currency

66. For evaluation and comparison purposes, the currency(ies) of the Tender shall be converted into a
single currency as specified in the BDS.
67. Margin of Preference

67.1 A margin of preference shall not apply, unless otherwise specified in the BDS.
68. Evaluation of Tenders

68.1 The Employer shall use the criteria and methodologies listed in this Clause. No other evaluation
criteria or methodologies shall be permitted.
68.2 To evaluate a Tender, the Employer shall consider the following:
(a) the Tender price, excluding Provisional Sums and the provision, if any, for contingencies in
the Summary Bill of Quantities for admeasurement contracts or Schedule of Prices for lump
sum contracts, but including Day-work items, where priced competitively;
(b) price adjustment for correction of arithmetic errors in accordance with ITB 31.1;
(c) price adjustment due to discounts offered in accordance with ITB 14.3;
(d) converting the amount resulting from applying (a) to (c) above, if relevant, to a single currency in
accordance with ITB 32;
(e) adjustment for nonconformities in accordance with ITB 30.3;
(f) application of all the evaluation factors indicated in Section III (Evaluation and Qualification
Criteria);
68.3 The estimated effect of the price adjustment provisions of the Conditions of Contract, applied over
the period of execution of the Contract, shall not be taken into account in Tender evaluation.
68.4 If this Tendering Document allows Tenderers to quote separate prices for different contracts (lots),
and to award multiple contracts to a single Tenderer, the methodology to determine the lowest
evaluated price of the contract combinations, including any discounts offered in the Letter of
Tender, is specified in Section III (Evaluation and Qualification Criteria).
68.5 If the lowest Evaluated Tender for an admeasurement contract is, in the opinion of the Employer,
seriously unbalanced, front loaded or substantially below updated estimates, the Employer may
require the Tenderer to produce detailed price analyses for any or all items of the Bill of
Quantities, to demonstrate the internal consistency of those prices with the construction methods
and schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analyses, taking into consideration the
schedule of estimated Contract payments, the Employer may require that the amount of the
performance security be increased at the expense of the Tenderer to a level sufficient to protect the
Employer against financial loss in the event of default of the successful Tenderer under the
Contract.
69. Comparison of Tenders

69.1 The Employer shall compare all substantially responsive Tenders in accordance with ITB 34.2 to
determine the lowest evaluated Tender.
70. Qualification of the Tenderer

70.1 The Employer shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Tenderer that is selected as having
submitted the lowest evaluated and substantially responsive Tender meets the qualifying criteria
specified in Section III (Evaluation and Qualification Criteria).
70.2 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence of the
Tenderer’s qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant to ITB 17.1.
70.3 An affirmative determination of qualification shall be a prerequisite for award of the Contract to
the Tenderer. A negative determination shall result in disqualification of the Tender, in which event
the Employer shall proceed to the next lowest evaluated Tender to make a similar determination of
that Tenderer’s qualifications to perform satisfactorily.
71. Employer’s Right to Accept Any Tender, and to Reject Any or All Tenders
71.1 The Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any Tender, and to annul the tendering process
and reject all Tenders at any time prior to contract award, without thereby incurring any liability to
Tenderers. In case of annulment, all Tenders submitted and specifically, Tender securities, shall be
promptly returned to the Tenderers.
F. Award of Contract
72. Award Criteria
72.1 Subject to ITB 37.1, the Employer shall award the Contract to the Tenderer whose offer has been
determined to be the lowest evaluated Tender and is substantially responsive to the Tendering
Document, provided further that the Tenderer is determined to be qualified to perform the Contract
satisfactorily.
73. Notification of Award

73.1 Prior to the expiration of the period of Tender validity, the Employer shall notify the successful
Tenderer, in writing, via the Letter of Acceptance included in the Contract Forms, that its Tender
has been accepted. At the same time, the Employer shall also notify all other Tenderers of the
results of the tendering.
73.2 Until a formal contract is prepared and executed, the Letter of Acceptance shall constitute a
binding Contract.
74. The Employer shall promptly respond in writing to any unsuccessful Tenderer who, after
notification of award in accordance with ITB 39.1, requests in writing the grounds on which its
Tender was not selected.
75. Any Tenderer may seek administrative review by a written inquiry to the Procuring Entity
(Employer), which it considers to be in breach of the Financial Regulations. Any application for
review must be submitted in writing to the Accountable Officer of the Procuring Entity, within ten
working days from the date the Tenderer knew, or should have known, of the circumstances giving
rise to the complaint. If the Accountable Officer does not issue a decision within ten days, or the
Tenderer is not satisfied with the decision, the Tenderer may submit a complaint to the Public
Procurement Division.
76. Signing of Contract

76.1 Promptly upon notification, the Employer shall send the successful Tenderer the Contract
Agreement.
76.2 Within twenty-eight (28) days of receipt of the Contract Agreement, the successful Tenderer shall
sign, date, and return it to the Employer.
77. Performance Security

77.1 Within twenty-eight (28) days of the receipt of notification of award from the Employer, the
successful Tenderer shall furnish the performance security in accordance with the conditions of
contract, subject to ITB 34.5, using for that purpose the Performance Security Form included in
Section IX (Contract Forms), or another form acceptable to the Employer. If the performance
security furnished by the successful Tenderer is in the form of a bond, it shall be issued by a
bonding or insurance company that has been determined by the successful Tenderer to be
acceptable to the Employer. A foreign institution providing a bond shall have a correspondent
financial institution located in the Employer’s Country.
77.2 Failure of the successful Tenderer to submit the above-mentioned Performance Security or to sign
the Contract Agreement shall constitute sufficient grounds for the annulment of the award and
forfeiture of the Tender security. In that event the Employer may award the Contract to the next
lowest evaluated Tenderer whose offer is substantially responsive and is determined by the
Employer to be qualified to perform the Contract satisfactorily.
78. Adjudicator
78.1 The Employer proposes the person named in the BDS to be appointed as Adjudicator under the
Contract, at the hourly fee specified in the BDS, plus reimbursable expenses. If the Tenderer
disagrees with this proposal, the Tenderer should so state in his Tender. If, in the Letter of
Acceptance, the Employer does not agree on the appointment of the Adjudicator, the Employer
will request the Appointing Authority designated in the Particular Conditions of Contract (PCC)
pursuant to Clause 23.1 of the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), to appoint the Adjudicator.

Employer’s Requirement
SCOPE OF WORKS
The Government of Maldives wishes to build small craft harbours at the following islands.
1. V.Rakeedhoo
The scope of works of the project includes (but not limited to):
1. Detailed design of the harbour based on the preliminary design layout as per the
requirements in attached drawing
2. Detailed surveys including bathymetry of basin and channel, bathymetry of potential
harbour expansion area, shoreline facing the harbour area, dimensions of existing coastal
structures including any existing harbour or jetty and shore protection structures near the
harbour area, dimension of structures located where potential harbour expansion may
occur, elevation profile from the harbour area to the island vegetation line, and scaled
aerial photograph of the entire island and harbour area.
3. Carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the requirement of
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
4. For islands with existing harbours, construction of harbours, which include, but not limited
to reconstruction of breakwaters, revetments and quay walls and related amenities, and (if
required) maintenance dredging of the existing harbour basin including the channel and if
an expansion is proposed, capital dredging of any new basin area. If required by the work
methodology proposed by the contractor, the scope of works should include
removal/demolition, transportation and disposal of existing harbour structures. For islands
without a harbour or if a harbour is constructed in a new location, the scope of works
include, but not limited to construction of breakwaters, revetments and quay walls and
related amenities, and capital dredging of harbour basin and channel.
DESIGN CRITERIA
The design layout and structural components of a harbour should be established after careful
consideration of various operational, functional, navigational requirements, environmental and site
conditions and physical constraints. Vessels’ using the harbours in Maldives come in all shapes and
sizes such as fishing dhonis, passenger ferry vessels, powerboats, pleasure yachts, small cargo
boats, and passenger-cum-cargo vessels. Such small craft harbours in the Maldives typically
provide adequate draft to enable a boat to dock securely without risking damage. We can categorize
these into six main functions in a typical harbour, such as:
1. Fish landing facility

2. Loading/unloading of cargo space (quaywall to be designed for purpose)
3. Ramp to facilitate landing craft access (especially regional waste handling landing
crafts)
4. Mooring of mainly locally registered large vessels in the main quaywall
5. Mooring of smaller vessels on the breakwater side via a floating platform
6. Boat beaching for repair and maintenance (if identified in preliminary layout)
Generally, harbours in the Maldives had been built without much consideration to achieve all of the
above functionalities.
Current policy of the government in planning and design of the new harbours and reconstruction of
existing harbours is that the design criteria of all the structures and the size of the harbour is
followed from an evaluation of valid functional and operational requirement as well as site and
environmental conditions. The materials and construction methods of various structures must
reflect the usage of the structure. For example the quay wall structure used for mooring of the
vessels necessarily need not be designed and built using the same material and methodology as that
for a quay wall structure used for loading/unloading of cargo. Depending on the nature of each
island, all 6 functions might not be required within the harbor (Eg. The island may have an existing
beaching area in another part of the island). The following is a schematic diagram identifying
different functionality of a typical harbour in the Maldives. (Designing and constructing land based
structures such as ferry terminal, fuel storage area will not be part of the scope of this project)

FUNCTIONALITIES OF A SMALL CRAFT

FISHING HARBOUR IN MALDIVES
Other factors that should be taken into account when designing the harbour are:
1. Harbour basin and entrance channel shall be dredged to a

minimum depth of 3.5 metres below Mean Sea Level (MSL). The harbour structures
should be designed accordingly.
2. The vessel mooring area should be designed such that it provides
reasonable shelter from adverse weather conditions throughout the year. Mooring area for
the larger vessels on the main quaywall will be required to all harbours. Requirement for
mooring of smaller vessels on the breakwater side will be identified in the preliminary
layouts
3. Entrance channel shall be oriented in a direction and designed in

such a way that it gives maximum safe access along the channel during the year. The
channel design should also ensure the basin can provide a safe harbour to the vessels
throughout the year.
4. The harbour shall be designed with proper water circulation within

the basin. Any openings made for water circulation shall not cause sediment movement
into the harbour basin.
5. Harbour design layout shall ensure minimum sediment

accumulation at the entrance channel and inside the basin to allow for a maintenance
dredging period of not less than 5 years. Structures beyond the harbour area can be
proposed to ensure sediment control.
6. Harbour components shall be designed for a minimum

maintenance free period of 10 years. Design life of all structures shall not be less than 30
years.
7. Breakwater crest height shall be determined to provide reasonable

shelter from adverse weather conditions throughout the year. Complete wave overtopping
should not occur at any times; unless in extreme, exceptional weather conditions.
8. Top of quay shall be the higher of the following

b) 1.4 m above MSL
c) 0.15m above ground level.
Appropriate number of access stairs shall be incorporated into the quay wall. Mooring Hooks at
intervals not less than 5m shall be provided. 30mm diameter SS mooring hooks are recommended.
10. Pavement and drainage to be included around the quay wall perimeter. Width of pavement
shall be 5m. Pavement shall be made with interlocking blocks of strength 45 MPa
11. Double armed Sodium vapour harbour lights of at least 150 Wshall be placed at a
sufficient distance to provide visibility in the harbour area along the pavement Electricity
connection to the harbour lights from the island mains shall be proposed.
12. Adequate drainage must be placed taking into consideration topography of the harbour
areaWater shall not retain in between the island vegetation line and harbour area beyond
the island’s average flood water retention duration.
13. Sand cement bag construction shall not be proposed for any component of the works.
14. Floating platform shall be proposed for the leeward side of the main breakwater as a
walkway for passengers accesing small vessels moored along the area.
15. Concrete walkway with proper railing shall be proposed to access the long breakwater side
from the quay wall
16. Unless substantiated with relevant data soil properties shall be assumed as below.
a. Angle of friction of sand not greater than 32º.
b. Bearing capacity of sand not greater than 100 KN/m²
17. All reinforced concrete shall be a minimum of grade C35 and a minimum concrete cover
of 50mm shall be provided to all steel reinforcement.
