Section II. Eligibility Requirements
This Section provides the information necessary for prospective bidders to prepare responsive

The provisions contained in this Section shall be used unchanged. Additional information or
requirements specific to each contract to be procured shall be specified in the Eligibility Data
Sheet (EDS).
19ME0143
STANDARD FORMAT
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
1. Unless otherwise indicated in the Instructions to Bidders (ITB), the prospective bidder
must meet the following Eligibility Requirements (ER) for purposes of determining by the
DPWH the eligibility of the bidder for the contract to be procured:
(a) Registration certificate from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the
case of a Partnership or Corporation, or from the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) in the case of a Single Proprietorship, or from the Cooperatives
Development Authority in the case of a cooperative.
(b) Mayor’s/Business Permit issued by the city or municipality where the principal
place of business of the prospective bidder is located.
(c) Tax Clearance per Executive Order (EO) No. 398, series of 2005, as finally
reviewed and approved by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
(a) Valid Philippine Contractors’ Accreditation Board (PCAB) license and registration for
the type and cost of contract to be procured. In the case of a joint venture, the
license and registration must be those of the joint venture, not of any of its
members.
(b) Record of the prospective bidder’s completed contracts, both government and
private, including the following information for each contract:
19ME0143
v. Contractor’s role (whether sole contractor, sub-contractor, or partner in a joint
venture), specific components or aspects of the work done by it, and its
participation percentage.
vi. Total as-built cost at completion.
(c) Record of the prospective bidder’s on-going contracts, including awarded but not
yet started, both in government and the private sector, indicating the following
information for each contract.
(a) The prospective bidder’s Audited Financial Statement (AFS), stamped “received’’ by
the BIR or its duly accredited and authorized institution, for the immediately
preceding calendar year, showing, among other things, the prospective bidder’s
total and current assets and liabilities.
(b) The prospective bidder’s computation for its Net Financial Contracting Capacity
(NFCC).
To facilitate determination of eligibility, the BAC of a Procuring Entity shall use the
contents of the PhilGEPS electronic registry of contractors (IRR Section 23.3).
All bidders shall maintain in the PhilGEPS a current and updated file of the following Class
“A” Eligibility Documents (IRR Section 8.5.2 in relation to Sec. 23.1(a)):
19ME0143
With a bidder’s submission to the PhilGEPS of these five Class “A” Documents, the bidder
shall secure a PhilGEPS Certificate of Registration and Membership.
For every specific contract to be procured, the bidder shall submit to the BAC, as part of
its bid, its PhilGEPS Certificate of Registration and Membership. This PhilGEPS Certificate
will already cover the abovementioned five Class “A” Eligibility Documents. Unless the
bidder is previously enrolled in the DPWH Civil Works Registry (CWR), the bidder shall
submit to the BAC, as part of its bid for the contract, all other Class “A” and Class “B”
Eligibility Documents which are not covered by the PhilGEPS Certificate. The bidder,
however, shall still submit to the BAC, as part of its bid, a copy of its current PCAB License
and Registration (even if this is already covered by the PhilGEPS Certificate) since it is
needed to provide detailed data to be used in the computerized Eligibility Check,
considering that the DPWH is not yet interconnected with the PhilGEPS and, hence, cannot
directly access the PCAB License from the PhilGEPS.
Valid joint venture agreement (JVA), in case the joint venture is already in existence. In
the absence of a JVA, duly notarized statements from all the potential joint venture (JV)
partners shall be included in the bid, to the effect that they will enter into and abide by
the provisions of the JVA in the instance that the bid is successful. Failure to enter into a
JV shall be a ground for the forfeiture of the Bid Security. Each partner of the JV shall
submit the PhilGEPS Certificate of Registration in accordance with Section 8.5.2 of the IRR
of RA 9184. The submission of technical and financial eligibility documents by any of the
JV partners constitutes compliance. The partner responsible to submit the NFCC shall
likewise submit the statement of all of its ongoing contracts and Audited Financial
Statements.
(2) A partnership duly organized under the laws of the Philippines and of which at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the interest belongs to citizens of the Philippines.
(3) A corporation duly organized under the laws of the Philippines and of which at least
seventy five (75%) of the outstanding capital stock belongs to citizens of the
Philippines.
(5) Persons/entities forming themselves into a joint venture (JV), i.e., a group of two (2)
or more persons/entities that intend to be jointly and severally responsible or liable for
a particular contract, provided that, in accordance with the President’s Letter of
Instructions No. 630, Filipino ownership or interest in the JV concerned shall be at
least seventy-five (75%); provided, further, that JVs in which Filipino ownership or
interest is less than seventy-five percent (75%) may be eligible where the structures
to be built require the application of techniques and/or technologies which are not
adequately possessed by a person/entity meeting the seventy-five percent (75%)
Filipino ownership requirement; and provided, finally, that in the latter case, Filipino
19ME0143
ownership or interest shall not be less than twenty-five percent (25%). For this
purpose, Filipino ownership or interest shall be based on the contributions of each of
the members of the JV as specified in their joint venture agreement (JVA).
For this particular contract to be bid, the prospective bidder must possess a valid
license issued by the PCAB in accordance with the provisions of RA 4566, for the
specific category indicated in the Eligibility Data Sheet (EDS), out of the following
PCAB categories:
For this particular contract to be procured, the Approved Budget for the Contract
(ABC) is indicated in the EDS. The required PCAB license for this project, based on
Table 1 above, is also specified in the EDS.
The prospective bidder must possess the experience of having a Single Largest
Completed Contract (SLCC) “similar” to the contract to be procured, and whose value,
adjusted to current prices using the consumer price indices of the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA), is at least fifty percent (50%) of the ABC to be bid. Small A and Small
B contractors without similar experience on the contract to be bid, however, may be
allowed to bid if the cost of such contract is not more than the Allowable Range of
Contract Cost (ARCC) corresponding to their PCAB license as shown in Table 1 above
(IRR Section 23.4.2.4).
As stated in Appendix 2.2 (Guidelines for Major and Similar Categories of Works), a
“Major Category of Works” is the main classification of works in the contract to be bid,
according to type of infrastructure and kind of work performed - e.g. road
construction, bridge rehabilitation, etc. On the other hand, a “Similar Category of
Works” is a kind of works whose classification is considered to be comparable to the
Major Category of Works in the contract to be bid and, therefore, shall be considered
for purposes of evaluation of the bidder’s eligibility for the contract to be bid. A
“Qualifier” is an additional specific requirement on Major or Similar Categories of Work,
to be required from the bidders at the bidding stage, to show that they have the
necessary expertise and experience to execute the contract, such as an extraordinarily
large embankment volume, or soft ground treatment, or long tunnel using tunnel
boring machine, or bridge retrofitting using special jacking technology, or very long
sheet piling, multi-level basement, etc.
19ME0143
For the specific project or contract to be bid under these BDs and based on the
Guidelines and Matrix of Categories in Appendix 2.2, the Major Categories of Works
and Similar Categories of Work, as well as any Qualifier, that shall be considered in
determining a bidder’s eligibility for the contract to be bid are indicated in the EDS.
Select either the following item (a) or item (b), whichever is applicable, and delete the
other:
(a) For a contract involving a single category of works (i.e., type of infrastructure and kind
of work) - e.g., road construction, or bridge retrofitting, or flood control rehabilitation -
the following criteria shall be adopted:
ii. To be eligible to bid for the contract, a contractor must have done a Single Largest
Completed Contract (SLCC) for a Major/Similar Category of Works whose total cost
is at least 50% of the Approved Budget of the Contract (ABC) to be bid.
(b) For a contract to be bid involving multiple categories of works – e.g., road construction
plus bridge retrofitting plus flood control rehabilitation – the following criteria shall be
adopted:
i. Each category of works whose cost is at least 30% of the ABC shall be
considered a Major Category of Works. All other categories of works shall be
considered Minor Categories of Works.
ii. To be eligible to bid for the contract, a contractor must comply with the
following work experience requirements:
ii-a As the basic requirement, the contractor must have undertaken a SLCC
similar to the contract to be bid. To be so considered similar, the SLCC
must meet the following requirements:
The SLCC must contain the same Major Categories of Works as the
contract to be bid, and each Major Category of Works in the SLCC
must cost at least 30% of the total cost of the SLCC.
The total cost of the SLCC must be at least 50% of the total ABC to
be bid.
In the case of contracts which include special equipment to be supplied and installed
by the supplier/manufacturer, the cost of such equipment shall be excluded from the
ABC to be used in computing the required work experience as stated in the preceding
paragraph.
19ME0143
As an exception to the foregoing, however, as mentioned above, Small A and B
contractors may be allowed to bid if the cost of the contract is not more than the ARCC
corresponding to their PCAB license as shown in Table 1 above, even if they have no
experience similar to the contract to be bid.
To support its SLCC, the bidder must submit the corresponding Owner’s Certificate of
Final Acceptance issued by the project owner other than the contractor, or at least a
satisfactory CPES Rating. In case of contracts with the private sector, an equivalent
document shall be submitted.
The prospective bidder must have a Net Financial Contracting Capacity (NFCC) at least
equal to the ABC to be procured.
NFCC = [(Current assets minus current liabilities) (15)] minus the value of all
outstanding or uncompleted portions of the projects under ongoing contracts,
including awarded contracts yet to be started, which portions coincide with the contact
to be bid.
The values of the bidder’s current assets and current liabilities shall be based on the latest
Audited Financial Statements (AFS) submitted to the BIR.
For purposes of computing the foreign bidders' NFCC, the value of the current assets and
current liabilities shall be based on their Audited Financial Statements prepared in
accordance with international financial reporting standards.
The Procuring Entity shall apply the abovementioned Eligibility Requirements (ER) not only to
the main contractor/bidder but also to any sub-contractors for the portions of the main
contract works that are proposed to be sub-contracted to them, except for pakyaw contracts
as defined in Appendix 11 of RA 9184-IRR.
The main contractor/bidder, however, must meet all of the abovementioned Eligibility
Requirements by itself, with or without any sub-contractor. Hence, if any nominated sub-
contractor is declared ineligible, the main contractor, on its own, must still meet the
prescribed Eligibility Requirements.
Notwithstanding the eligibility of a bidder, the Procuring Entity concerned reserves the right to
review the qualifications of the bidder at any stage of the procurement process if the
Procuring Entity has reasonable grounds to believe that a misrepresentation has been made
by that 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 requirements, statements or documents, or any
changes in the situation of the bidder which will affect the capability of the bidder to
undertake the project so that it fails the eligibility criteria, the Procuring Entity shall consider
the said bidder as ineligible and shall disqualify it from obtaining an award or contract, in
accordance with Rules XXI, XXII, and XXIII of the IRR of RA 9184 (IRR Section 23.6).
19ME0143
The eligibility requirements or statements, the bids, and all other documents to be submitted
to the BAC must be in English. If the eligibility requirements or statements, the bids, and all
other documents submitted to the BAC are in foreign language other than English, it must be
accompanied by a translation of the documents in English. The documents shall be translated
by the relevant foreign government agency, the foreign government agency authorized to
translate documents, or a registered translator in the foreign bidder’s country; and shall be
authenticated by the appropriate Philippine foreign service establishment/post or the
equivalent office having jurisdiction over the foreign bidder’s affairs in the Philippines. The
English translation shall govern, for purposes of interpretation of the bid.
2. If, as specified in the EDS, Electronic Bidding is adopted for this procurement pursuant to
GPPB Resolution No. 23-2013, dated 30 July 2013, the following procedure shall be observed
with regard to the registry with the PhilGEPS:
b. Only a Certified Member with the appropriate classification can avail of the PhilGEPS
advance eligibility submission by uploading their electronic documents to the PhilGEPS
document library, which can be accessed for current or future procurements.

ethics during the procurement and execution of such contracts. In pursuance of
this policy, the DPWH:
a. defines, for purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as
follows:
19ME0143
(3) “Collusive practice” means a scheme or arrangement between
two or more Bidders, with or without the knowledge of the

3.2 Furthermore, the Procuring Entity will also seek to impose the maximum
penalties for civil and criminal liability available under the applicable law on
individuals and organizations deemed to be involved in corrupt, fraudulent,
collusive or coercive practices.
3.3 The Funding Source and the Procuring Entity reserve the right to inspect and
audit records and accounts of a contractor in the bidding for and performance

Procuring Entity. These requirements shall not apply to labor pakyaw contracts
provided in the IRR Appendix 11.
8.5 The bidder/main contractor may identify the sub-contractors to whom portions
of the contract works will be sub-contracted at any stage of the bidding process
or during contract implementation, provided that any sub-contracting requires
prior approval of the Procuring Entity. If the bidder opts to disclose the name of
the sub-contractors during the bid submission, the bidder shall include the
required eligibility documents for the sub-contractors as part of the technical
component of its bid. Sub-contractors identified during the bidding may be
changed during the implementation of the contract, subject to compliance with
the eligibility requirements and approval of the Procuring Entity.
8.6 Sub-contracting of any portion of the contract shall not relieve the main
contractor from any liability or obligation that may arise from the contract. The
main contractor shall be responsible for the acts, defaults, and negligence of
any subcontractor, its agents or workmen.

9. Pre-Bid Conference
9.1 If so specified in the BDS, a Pre-Bid Conference shall be held at the venue and
on the date indicated therein, to clarify and address the Bidders’ questions on
the technical and financial components of this Project. The Pre-Bid Conference
shall be held at least twelve (12) calendar days before the deadline for the
submission and receipt of Bids, but not earlier than seven (7) calendar days
from the posting of the IB/BDs in the DPWH and PhilGEPS websites. However,
attendance of the Bidders shall not be mandatory. If the Procuring Entity
determines that, by reason of the method, nature, or complexity of the contract
to be bid, or when international participation will be more advantageous to the
GOP, a longer period for the preparation of bids is necessary, the Pre-Bid
Conference shall be held at least thirty (30) calendar days before the deadline
for the submission and receipt of bids, as specified in the BDS.
9.2 Bidders are encouraged to attend the Pre-Bid Conference to ensure that they
fully understand the Procuring Entity’s requirements. Non-attendance of the
Bidder will in 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. The
minutes of the Pre-Bid Conference shall be recorded and prepared not later
than five (5) calendar days after the Pre-Bid Conference. The minutes shall be
made available to prospective bidders not later than five (5) days upon written
request.
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 at least
seven (7) calendar days before he deadline for the submission and receipt of
bids.
9.4 If, as indicated in the BDS, Electronic Bidding is adopted for this procurement
pursuant to GPPB Resolution No. 23-2013, dated 30 July 2013, the Procuring
Entity shall observe following procedure with regard to the PBC:
a. For contracts to be bid where the conduct of PBC is required under Section
22 of RA 9184-IRR (Section 5.5.3 of this Manual Volume II), the same
procedure governing the manual method will also apply.
19ME0143
b. A Procuring Entity with videoconferencing capabilities may conduct its PBC
conferences electronically, provided that its Registered Merchants shall also
have similar capabilities and facilities.
c. During the conduct of the PBC, Registered Merchants may send requests for
clarification through the PhilGEPS online facility, which shall be read during
the meeting and shall form part of the minutes, unless the Procuring Entity
has previously decided that only those who have purchased the Bidding
Documents shall be allowed to participate in the PBC and raise or submit
written queries or clarifications.
The set of Bidding Documents (BDs) for the specific contract at hand consists of the
documents listed below and bulletins issued in accordance with ITB Clause 11
10.1 Bidders should note that the Procuring Entity shall only accept Bids from Bidders
that have purchased the BDs from the office indicated in the IB, or have
19ME0143
downloaded the BDs from the DPWH website subject to the payment of the fee
for the BDs upon submission of their bids.
11.2 The BAC, upon its initiative, may also issue Supplemental/Bid Bulletins to amend
or clarify any provision of the BDs, to be made available to all those who have
properly secured BDs, not later than seven (7) calendar days before the
deadline for the submission and receipt of Bids. .
11.3 Any Supplemental/Bid Bulletin issued by the BAC shall be posted on the
websites of the DPWH and the PhilGEPS, an at anhy conspicuous place in the
premises of the Procuring Entity. It shall be the responsibility of all Bidders who

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 24.
C. Preparation of Bids
The Bidder shall bear all costs associated with the preparation and submission of its
Bid, and the Procuring Entity shall in no case be responsible or liable for those costs.
The Bid, as well as all correspondence and documents relating to the Bid exchanged by
the Bidder and the Procuring Entity, shall be written in English. Supporting documents
and printed literature furnished by the Bidder may be in another language provided
they are accompanied by an accurate translation of the relevant passages in English, in
which case, for purposes of interpretation of the Bid, the English translation shall
govern.
14.1 Unless otherwise indicated in the BDS, the Bidder shall submit its Bid in
accordance with the provisions of ITB Clauses 14.2 to 14.4.
14.2 The Bidder shall present its Bid which shall consist of the Technical Component

as the case may be (Use Form DPWH-INFR-15. These
equipment units must meet the minimum major
equipment requirements for the contract set in the BDS.
19ME0143
viii. It did not give or pay, directly or indirectly, any
commission, amount, fee, or any form of
consideration, pecuniary or otherwise, to any person
or official, personnel or representative of the
government in relation to any procurement project or
activity.
(2) Bill of Quantities (BOQ) indicating the bid prices, using Forms
DPWH-INFR-17 and Form DPWH-INFR-18. The bid prices
may be in terms of (a) bid unit prices for different work items
under the BOQ, or (b) fixed total lump-sum price for the entire
contract, based on the type and complexity of the project.
14.3 a. Unless indicated in the BDS, all Total Bid Prices that exceed the
Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) indicated in BDS 1.3 shall be
rejected.
(ii) The Procuring Entity has procedures in place to ensure that the
ABC is based on recent estimates made by the responsible unit of
the Procuring Entity and that the estimates are based on
adequate detailed engineering and reflect the quality, supervision
and risk and inflationary factors, as well as prevailing market
prices, associated with the types of works to be procured.
19ME0143
(v) The Procuring Entity has established a monitoring and evaluation
system for contract implementation to provide a feedback on
actual total costs of works.
14.4 The bidder may use, as reference, the checklist of requirements for its Technical
and Financial Proposals, as shown in Form DPWH-INFR-20.
15.1 The Contract shall be for the whole Works, as described in ITB Clause 1.1, based
on the priced BOQ (Use Form DPWH-INFR-17) submitted by the Bidder.
15.2 The Bidder shall fill in its unit and total Bid prices for all items of the Works
described in the BOQ. Bids not addressing or providing all of the required
items in the BOQ, 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) or a dash (“-”) for the said item would mean that it is being offered for
free to the Government.
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 Bid prices submitted by the Bidder.
15.4 For the given scope of work in the Contract as awarded, all Bid prices 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. 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 the recommendation of the Procuring Entity. 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.
16.1 All Bid prices shall be quoted in Philippine Peso sunless 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 Clause16.1, 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.
19ME0143
17. Bid Validity
17.1 Bids shall remain valid for the period specified in the BDS, which shall not
exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the opening of Bids.
17.2 In exceptional circumstances, the Procuring Entity may request that the Bidders
extend the period of validity of their Bids for a specified additional period. The
request and the Bidders’ responses shall be made in writing. A Bidder may
refuse the request without forfeiting the Bid Security. A Bidder agreeing to the
request will not be required or permitted to otherwise modify the Bid, but will
be required to extend the validity of the Bid Security for the period of the
extension, and in compliance with ITB Clause 14 in all respects.
18.1 The Bidder shall submit to the Procuring Entity, as part of its Bid, a Bid Securing
Declaration (using Form DPWH-INFR-12) or any form of Bid Security in an
amount stated in the BDS, which shall not be less than a percentage of the ABC
in accordance with the following schedule:
18.2 A Bid Securing Declaration is an undertaking which states, among others, that
the bidder shall enter into contract with the Procuring Entity and furnish the
required Performance Security within ten (10) calendar days, or less, as
indicated in the BDs, from receipt of the Notice of Award, and commits to pay
the corresponding amount as fine and be suspended for a period of time 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).
18.3 The Bid Security should be valid for the period specified in the BDS.
18.4 Any Bid not accompanied by a Bid Securing Declaration or an acceptable Bid
Security shall be rejected by the Procuring Entity as non-responsive.
18.5 No Bid Securities shall be returned to Bidders after the opening of Bids and
before contract signing, except to those that failed or post-disqualified in
accordance with the IRR, upon submission of a written waiver of their right to
file a motion for reconsideration and/or protest, or lapse of the reglementary
period without having filed a motion for reconsideration or protest. To comply
with any of the requirements to be submitted in the Technical Proposal and
19ME0143
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 ITB Clause 18.3.
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,
pursuant to ITB Clause 28; or

payments made. Tax Clearance from the BIR to prove full
and timely payment of taxes;
f. 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
g. 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
i. 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.
19.1 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,
19ME0143
alternative bids shall not be accepted. 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 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.
19.2 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.
20.1 Bidders shall submit their bids through their duly authorized representative
using the appropriate forms provided in Section XI of the SBDs (ANNEX IIA-
11) on or before the deadline specified in the ITB Clause 22 in two (2)
separate sealed bid envelopes, and which shall be submitted simultaneously.
The first shall contain the technical component of the bid as provided in ITB
Clause 14.2a, and the second shall contain the financial component of the bid
as provided in ITB Clause 14.2a.
20.2 Forms as mentioned in ITB Clause 20.1 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.
20.3 The Bidder shall submit one original of the Technical Proposal and one original
of the Financial Proposal as described in ITB Clause 20.1 and clearly mark each
as “ORIGINAL - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL” and “ORIGINAL – FINANCIAL
PROPOSAL”. In addition, the Bidder shall submit copies of the Technical
Proposal and the Financial Proposal, and clearly mark them “COPY NO… -
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL” and “COPY NO…. – FINANCIAL PROPOSAL”. In the
event of any discrepancy between the original and the copies, the original shall
prevail.
20.4 The original copy of the Bid as indicated in the BDS shall be typed or written in
indelible ink and shall be signed by the Bidder or a person or persons duly

21.2 Each copy of the Technical Proposal and Financial Proposal, shall be similarly
sealed duly marked as “COPY NO… - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL” and “COPY NO…
– FINANCIAL PROPOSAL” respectively and the outer envelope as “COPY NO”.
21.3 These envelopes containing the original and the copies shall then be enclosed in
one single envelope that shall:
e. bear a warning “DO NOT OPEN BEFORE…” the time and date for the
opening of Bids , in accordance with ITB Clause 21.
21.4 If all envelopes are not sealed and marked as required, the Procuring Entity will
assume no responsibility for the misplacement or premature opening of the Bid.
If a Bid is not sealed and marked as required, the bidder or its authorized
representative shall acknowledge the condition of such Bid as submitted;
otherwise the Bid shall be disqualified.
Bids must be received by the BAC of the Procuring Entity at the address and on or
before the deadline indicated in the BDS.
Any Bid submitted after the deadline for the receipt of Bids prescribed by the Procuring
Entity, pursuant to ITB Clause 18, shall be declared “Late” and shall not be accepted
by the Procuring Entity. The BAC shall record in the minutes of the bid submission and
opening, the bidder’s name, its representative and the time the late bid was submitted.
24.1 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 the receipt of Bids by the BAC. The Bidder shall not be allowed to retrieve its
original Bid, but shall be allowed to submit another Bid equally sealed, properly
19ME0143

shall not be considered and shall be returned to the Bidder unopened.
24.2 A Bidder may, through a Letter of Withdrawal, withdraw its Bid after it has been
submitted, for valid and justifiable reasons, provided that the Letter of
Withdrawal is received by the Procuring Entity not later than the deadline
prescribed for the receipt of Bids. The letter of withdrawal must be executed by
the authorized representative of the Bidder identified in the Omnibus Sworn
Statement, a copy of which should be attached to the letter.
24.3 Bids requested to be withdrawn in accordance with ITB Clause 20.2 shall be
returned unopened to the Bidders. A Bidder that withdraws its Bid shall not be
permitted to submit another Bid, directly or indirectly, for the same contract.
24.4 No Bid may be modified after the deadline for the receipt of Bids. No Bid may
be withdrawn in the interval between the deadline for the receipt of Bids and
the expiration of the period of Bid validity specified by the Bidder in accordance
with ITB Clause 13.1. Withdrawal of a Bid during this interval may result in the
forfeiture of the Bidder’s Bid Security, pursuant to the ITB Clause 14.5, and the
imposition of administrative, civil and criminal sanctions as prescribed by R.A.
9184 and its IRR.
If, as indicated in the BDS, Electronic Bidding is adopted for this procurement pursuant
to GPPB Resolution No. 23-2013, dated 30 July 2013, the following procedure shall be
observed with regard to the submission and receipt of bids:
a. On-line Bidders may submit their eligibility requirements to the Procuring Entity
through the e-bidding facility of PhilGEPS.
b. Joint Ventures
(1) In case of joint venture, each partner of the joint venture must: (i) be
registered in the PhilGEPS, (ii) secure Certified Membership Status, and
(iii) electronically send its respective eligibility documents.
(2) The joint venture partners must identify and designate the Primary and
Secondary Partner(s).
(3) Before the PhilGEPS will accept submissions of Technical and Financial
Proposals from the Primary Partner, there must be a confirmation from
the Secondary Partner(s) as to existence of, or agreement to enter into,
a joint venture.
19ME0143
c. With regard to the requirement for a Bid Security as part of the Technical
Proposal under Section 5.6.2a(2) above, the following guidelines shall be
observed:
i. On-line bidders may submit the Bid Security in cash through the
PhilGEPS electronic payment facility.
ii. In case of other forms of Bid Security, the on-line bidder shall prepare
and submit a scanned copy of the Bid Security together with the
electronic bid. However, the original Bid Security must be submitted to
the BAC concerned before the end of business hours on the day of bid
submission, a failure of which shall automatically render the bid
submission as non-compliant.
iii. If the on-line bidder sends the original Bid security through registered
mail or private courier, the indicated date of receipt by the postal service
or private courier shall be considered as the date of submission to the
BAC concerned, without prejudice to any verifications during post-
qualification.
d. On-line Bidders, or the Primary Partner in the case of Joint Ventures, shall
electronically submit their bids through the Bidder’s On-line Nominee, at any
time before the closing date and time specified in the BDs.
e. The actual time of bid submission of an On-line Bidder shall be the time
indicated on the PhilGEPS Server when the bidder clicks the “Submit” button
which shall be automatically recorded by the PhilGEPS. Upon receipt of a bid,
the PhilGEPS shall automatically generate a bid receipt page that can be printed
by the on-line bidder. This contains the recorded “submission time” which shall
be considered as the Official Submission Time of the bidder.
f. An On-line Bidder may modify its bid at any time before the closing date and
time for the submission and receipt of bids.
g. An On-line Bidder may withdraw its bid before the deadline for the submission
and receipt of bids.
h. The PhilGEPS shall bar all incoming bids after the closing date and time.
26.1 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. In case the Bids cannot be opened as
scheduled due to justifiable reaons, the BAC shall take custody of the Bids
submitted and reschedule the opening of Bids on the next working day or at the
soonest possible time through the issuance of a bid bulletin to be posted in the
DPWH and PhilGEPS websites.
19ME0143
26.2 The BAC shall read out and record letters of withdrawal, and return the
unopened envelopes containing the corresponding withdrawn Bid to the Bidders
concerned.
26.4 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 14
above, using a simple non-discretionary “pass (if present) – or - fail (if absent)”
criterion, with the aid of checklists.
26.5 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:
26.6 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 14. For this purpose, the BAC shall check the
submitted documents in the Technical Component envelope against a checklist
(Form DPWH-INFR-31) of the 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.”
27.1 Unless otherwise indicated in the BDS, after the Preliminary Examination of the
Technical Components of the Bids, the BAC of the Procuring Entity, 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
19ME0143
procured. This shall be done electronically by computer using the data and
program in the DPWH Civil Works Registry (CWR). The submission of the
Original Receipt (OR) for payment of the BDs for the contract issued by any
DPWH field office is sufficient for the BAC of the Procuring Entity to undertake
the electronic eligibility evaluation of contractors.
27.2 The BAC Secretariat of the Procuring Entity shall enter into the CWR the
Contract Profile (CP) for the contract being procured. The CP will give the basic
contract data, including the ABC, works similar to those of the contract to be
bid, and contract duration.
27.3 In case a bidder is already enrolled in the CWR and submits the Original Receipt
(OR) for payment of the BDs for the contract issued by any DPWH field office,
together with its bid, the BAC Secretariat shall enter into the CWR the PCAB
License Number and/or name of the bidder.
27.4 In case a bidder is not previously enrolled in the CWR and submits its Eligibility
Requirements – i.e., Class “A” and Class “B” Documents - as part of its bid,
together with Original Receipt (OR) for payment of the BDs for the contract
issued by any DPWH field office, the BAC Secretariat shall immediately encode
and enter into the CWR the appropriate data and information – e.g., SLCC,
NFCC, etc. - from the submitted Documents.
27.5 In both cases, the CWR program will then electronically process and match the
prospective bidder’s capability or eligibility data in the CWR – e.g., value of
Single Largest Completed Contract (SLCC) similar to the contract being procured
and actual NFCC - against the eligibility requirements for the contract derived
from the CP – e.g., SLCC similar to the subject contract and costing at least
50% of ABC, and NFCC at least equal to ABC. The computer program will thus
automatically determine whether or not the prospective bidder meets the
following eligibility requirements:
a. The cost of the bidder’s SLCC is at least 50% of the ABC of the project to be
procured.
The program will also generate the results of the Eligibility Check, including the
Notices of Ineligibility. The reasons for ineligibility will also be automatically
shown in the Notices of Ineligibility.
27.6 During the bids opening session, the BAC will issue the Notices of Ineligibility to
the bidders concerned. 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. If, after evaluating the
bidder’s request for reconsideration, the BAC finds the bidder to be eligible for
19ME0143
the contract at hand, the BAC shall set the date and time for the opening of its
Financial Component envelope.
27.7 In either case - i.e., the ineligible bidder accepting its ineligibility or expressing it
intent to seek a reconsideration of its ineligibility - the either case - i.e., the
ineligible bidder accepting its ineligibility or expressing it 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.
28.1 On the same day, the BAC shall then open the Financial Component of the Bid
(second envelope) of each bidder whose Technical Component of the Bid was
rated as “passed” (i.e., with complete documentary requirements) and was
declared to be eligible for the contract. The BAC shall check the submitted
documents in the Financial Component against a checklist of required
documents (Form DPWH-INFR-31) to ascertain if the latter are all present in
the Financial Component envelope. If the required document is present, the
Financial Component shall be rated as “passed” for that particular requirement.
In case one or more of the required documents in the Financial Component of a
particular Bid is absent - i.e., missing, incomplete or patently insufficient -
and/or if the submitted total bid price exceeds the ABC, the BAC shall rate the
Financial Component and, thus, the entire bid, as “failed.” If all of the required
documents in the Financial Component are present, the entire bid is rated as
“passed.” Bids that are so rated as “passed” shall immediately be considered
for detailed evaluation.
28.2 The BAC shall prepare the minutes of the proceedings of the Bid opening that
shall include, as a minimum: (a) the Abstract of Bids as Read including the
name of each Bidder, its Bid prices, Bid Security, and findings of the Preliminary
Examination of Bids; and (b) the attendance sheet.
28.3 The BAC members shall sign the Abstract of Bids as Read and the BAC
Observers may witness the same. The Abstract of Bids as Read and the
minutes of the Bid opening shall be available to the public upon written request
and payment of a specified fee to cover the cost of materials.
If, as indicated in the BDS, Electronic Bidding is adopted for this procurement
pursuant to GPPB Resolution No. 23-2013, dated 30 July 2013, the following
procedure shall be observed with regard to the opening and preliminary examination:
a. Upon receipt of manually-filed bids, the Bid Opener, before the Bid Opening, but
immediately after the deadline for submission of bids, shall record and input
into the PhilGEPS E-bidding module the date and time each of the bid was
manually received, including the name of the bidder’s authorized representative.
b. The BAC shall open the bids immediately after the deadline for submission and
receipt of bids, and on the bid opening date.
19ME0143
c. Before the decryption of electronic bids, the Bid Opener must first login to the
PhilGEPS and only then can BAC members input their respective USER IDs and
PASSWORDS, provided however, that PhilGEPS decryption will not take place
unless all the members present and logging in constitute quorum.
d. The Bid Opener shall publicly open the first bid envelopes of bidders who
submitted bids manually to determine each bidder’s compliance with the
documents required to be submitted for eligibility, that is, legal, technical and
financial eligibility documents; and for the technical requirements. For this
purpose, the BAC shall check the submitted documents of each bidder against a
checklist of required documents to ascertain if they are all present, using a non-
discretionary “pass/fail” criterion. If a bidder submits the required document, it
shall be rated “passed” for that particular requirement. In this regard, bids that
fail to include any requirement or are incomplete or patently insufficient shall be
considered as “failed”. Otherwise, the BAC shall rate the bidder “passed” in
relation to the eligibility and technical documents in the first envelope.
e. After all the manually submitted first envelopes of bidders were opened, and the
results and findings were encoded in the PhilGEPS Preliminary Examination
Report facility, the Bid Opener shall thereafter proceed to decrypt the electronic
First Bid Envelopes submitted by the On-line Bidders to determine each bidder’s
compliance with the required eligibility and technical documents following the
steps and procedures outlined in Section 5.6.9d above. Thereafter, the Bid
Opener shall input the findings and results into the PhilGEPS’ Preliminary
Examination Report facility.
g. After all the manually submitted second envelopes of bidders were opened, and
the results and findings were encoded in the PhilGEPS Preliminary Examination
Report facility, the Bid Opener shall thereafter proceed to decrypt the electronic
Second Bid Envelopes of each On-line Bidders whose electronic first bid
envelope was rated “passed” to determine each bidder’s compliance with the
required financial documents following the steps and procedures outlined in
Section 5.6.9f above.
i. 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.
19ME0143
j. The PhilGEPS shall automatically send an electronic mail to all bidders who
failed in the preliminary examination of the first and/or second envelope.
Members of the BAC, its staff and personnel, Secretariat and TWG, as well as
observers, are prohibited from making or accepting any kind of communication with
any bidder regarding the evaluation of any of the bids until the issuance of the Notice
of Award.
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 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.
a. The Procuring Entity shall evaluate and compare, in detail, only the Bids that are
rated as “complying” (“passed”) for both Technical and Financial Proposals
pursuant to ITB Clause 26.
b. In evaluating the Bids to get the Lowest Calculated Bid, the Procuring Entity
shall undertake the following:
c. The detailed evaluation of the Financial Proposals of the Bids, to establish the
correct calculated prices of the Bids.
d. The ranking of the total bid prices as so calculated from the lowest to highest.
The
Bid with the lowest price in the ranking shall be identified as the Lowest
Calculated Bid.
e. To determine the Lowest Calculated Bid, the BAC shall use non-discretionary
“pass/fail” criteria, as stated in the IB, which shall include a consideration of the
following:
(1) Completeness of the bid. Unless the ITB specifically allows partial bids,
bids not addressing or providing all of the required items in the BDs,
including the BOQ, shall be considered as 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) 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 (IRR Section
32.2.1a); and
19ME0143
(2) Arithmetical corrections. The BAC shall consider computational errors,
omissions and discounts if allowed in the BDs to enable proper
comparison of all eligible bids. Any adjustment shall be calculated in
monetary terms to determine the calculated prices.
In case a bid offers a discount on the total bid price, the percentage of
the discount to the total bid price shall be applied to all pay items for
purposes of evaluating the value of work accomplished during the
implementation stage.
(3) Evaluation on equal footing. The BAC shall evaluate all bids on an equal
footing to ensure fair and competitive bid comparison. For this purpose, all
bidders shall be required to include 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.
v. Total calculated bid prices. The total calculated bid prices are obtained
after making the detailed evaluation and corrections according to the
abovementioned criteria.
f. The Procuring Entity’s evaluation of bids shall only be based on the bid price
quoted in the Financial Bid Form.
(2) total bid prices per pay item and unit prices applied to the quantities per
pay item, or
(3) stated total Bid price and the actual sum of prices of component items,
or
(4) unit prices in the detailed estimate and unit bid prices in the Bill of
Quantities,
the latter in each of the above cases shall prevail, and the total Bid amount shall
be corrected accordingly.
19ME0143
h. Based on the detailed evaluation of the bids, those that comply with the
abovementioned requirements shall be ranked in the ascending order of their
total calculated bid prices, as evaluated and corrected for computational errors,
discounts and other modifications, in accordance with the provisions of this ITB
Clause. This will identify the Lowest Calculated Bid. Total calculated bid prices,
as evaluated and corrected for computational errors, discounts and other
modifications, which exceed the ABC shall not be considered, unless otherwise
indicated in BDS 14.3a.
i. The provision in this Clause 32-i is not to be considered in the evaluation of the
bids to determine the technically complying bid or the lowest calculated bid, but
shall be applied by the Procuring Entity during the implementation of the contract,
particularly in making contract payments:
(1) During the evaluation of the bids, the BAC shall take note of any
unbalanced bids on early works and other items for unit-priced contracts.
(2) Unbalanced bids are defined as those where the total bid price for a major
pay item is more than fifty percent (50%) of the corresponding cost of
that pay item in the ABC. A major pay item is defined as that whose cost
in the ABC is 20% or more of the total ABC; if there is no such pay item,
then major pay items are defined as the two pay items in the ABC with the
highest total costs.
(3) Unbalanced bids also include those with a minor pay item whose cost in
the ABC is more than five percent (5%) of the total ABC and where the
corresponding bid price for that pay item is more than one hundred
percent (100%) of the ABC for that item.
(4) For unbalanced bids, during the implementation of the contract works, the
payment for these major and minor pay items shall be made initially at the
unit prices in the ABC, and the remainder - i.e., contract unit price minus
ABC unit price for the major pay item - shall be paid when the work under
the major pay item is completed.
In case Electronic Bidding is adopted pursuant to GPPB Resolution No. 23-2013, dated
30 July 2013, the Procuring Entity shall apply the manual procedure for the detailed
evaluation of bids prescribed under Section 31 of the ITB. In addition, the procuring
Entity shall observe the following guidelines:
b. The PhilGEPS shall automatically rank the bidders in ascending order based on
their total calculated bid prices to identify the LCB as evaluated and corrected
for computational errors, and other bid modifications. Total calculated bid
prices, as evaluated and corrected for computational errors, and other bid
modifications, which exceed the ABC shall be disqualified. After all bids have
19ME0143
been received, opened, examined, evaluated, and ranked, the system shall
thereafter generate the Abstract of Bids in the form of PhilGEPS Evaluation
Summary Report.
c. The BAC shall manually prepare a Resolution whether approving or denying the
Abstract of Bids generated by the system. However, after the BAC Resolution
approving the Abstract of Bids is uploaded in the PhilGEPS, an electronic
message shall be automatically sent to all bidders who participated informing
them that the Abstract of Bids is available for downloading.
b. 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 post-qualification documentary requirements (IRR
Section 34.2):
(2) Other appropriate licenses and permits required by law and stated in the
BDS.
Failure of the Bidder declared as LCB to submit the requirements under this
Clause on time or a finding against the veracity thereof, shall disqualify the
Bidder for award. In the event that a finding against the veracity of any of the
documents submitted is made, it shall cause the forfeiture of the bid security in
accordance with Sewction 69 of the IRR.
d. If the BAC determines that the Bidder with the LCB passes all the criteria for
Post-Qualification, it shall declare the said bid as the Lowest Calculated
Responsive Bid, (LCRB) and recommend to the HoPE the award of contract to
the said Bidder at its submitted price or its calculated bid price, whichever is
lower.
e. If the BAC determines that the Bidder with the LCB fails the criteria for Post-
Qualification, it shall proceed to the next LCB with a fresh period to make a
similar determination of that Bidder’s capabilities. If the second Bidder,
however, fails the Post-Qualification, the procedure for Post-Qualification shall
be repeated for the Bidder with the next LCB, and so on until the LCRB is
determined for recommendation of contract award.
19ME0143
35. Post-Qualification under Electronic Bidding
If, as indicated in the BDS, Electronic Bidding is adopted for this procurement pursuant
to GPPB Resolution No. 23-2013, dated 30 July 2013, the Procuring Entity shall observe
the following procedure with regard to the post-qualification:
a. Within one (1) day after the approval of the Abstract of Bids, the bidder with
the Lowest Calculated Bid (LCB) should be notified through electronic mail that
the bidder shall undergo post-qualification and submit the post-qualification
requirements within five (5) calendar days as provided for under Section 34.2 of
RA 9184-IRR.
b. If the BAC determines that the bidder with the LCB passes all the criteria for
post-qualification, it shall declare the said bid as the Lowest Calculated
Responsive Bid (LCRB), and recommend to the HoPE the award of contract to
the said bidder at its submitted bid price or its calculated bid price, whichever is
lower or, in the case of quality-based evaluation procedure, submitted bid price
or its negotiated price, whichever is lower.
c. If, however, the BAC determines that the bidder with the LCB fails the criteria
for post-qualification, it shall immediately notify the said bidder electronically in
writing of its post-disqualification and the grounds for it.
d. Immediately after the BAC has electronically notified the first bidder of its post-
disqualification, and notwithstanding any pending request for reconsideration
thereof, the BAC shall initiate and complete the same post-qualification process
on the bidder with the second LCB. If the second bidder passes the post-
qualification, and provided that the request for reconsideration of the first
bidder has been denied, the second bidder shall be post-qualified as the bidder
with the LCRB.
e. If the second bidder, however, fails the post-qualification, the procedure for
post-qualification shall be repeated for the bidder with the next LCB, and so on
until the LCRB, as the case may be, is determined for award, subject to Section
37 of the IRR.
f. The post-qualification process shall be completed in not more than twelve (12)
calendar days from the determination of the LCB. In exceptional cases, the
post-qualification period may be extended by the HoPE, but in no case shall the
aggregate period exceed forty five (45) calendar days.
g. The BAC or its Bid Opener shall record and encode the post-qualification results
of manually submitted documents in the PhilGEPS. For electronic documents
submitted online, the BAC or its Bid Opener shall decrypt the documents and
the results recorded automatically.
h. After recording the post-qualification summary and uploading the BAC resolution
declaring the bidder with the LCRB in the PhilGEPS, an electronic message shall
be automatically sent to all bidders who participated informing them that the
Notice of LCRB is available for downloading.
19ME0143

19ME0143
43. Variation Orders
43.2 A deductive VO may be allowed only if it would not significantly impair the
functionality of the original design, i.e., it must not reduce the size of the
facility by more than ten percent (10%) of the original scope (e.g.,
shortening of road length) or must not make the facility unsafe (e.g.,
removal of guard rails) or structurally unstable (e.g., removal of a column)
or unusable (e.g., removal of a bridge abutment).
43.3 A VO in the form of a Change Order may be issued by the Procuring Entity
to cover any increase or decrease in quantities of original Work items in the
Contract.
43.4 A VO in the form an Extra Work Order may be issued by the Procuring
Entity to cover the introduction of new work necessary for the completion,
improvement or protection of the project which were not included as items
of work in the original Contract, such as where there are subsurface or
latent physical conditions at the Site differing materially from those
indicated in the Contract, or where there are duly unknown physical
conditions at the Site of an unusual nature differing materially from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the Works or
character provided for in the Contract.
43.5 Any cumulative positive VO beyond ten percent (10%) shall be the subject
of another contract to be bid out if the works are separable from the
original Contract.
43.6 In claiming for any VO, the Contractor shall, within seven (7) calendar days
after such work has been commenced or after the circumstances leading to
such condition(s) leading to the extra cost, and within twenty-eight (28)
calendar days deliver a written communication giving full and detailed
particulars of any extra cost in order that it may be investigated at that
time. Failure to provide either of such notices in the time stipulated shall
constitute a waiver by the contractor for any claim. The Contractor shall not
“accumulate” claims for VOs before submitting them to the Procuring Entity
for investigation and processing.
19ME0143
43.7 The preparation and submission of VOs shall be as follows:
b. In the absence of unit prices for the same items rates in this
Contract, at prices or rates obtained from those of similar or related
items in this Contract.
Once the Contract reaches an accomplishment of ninety five percent (95%) of the
total Contract Works, the Procuring Entity may create an inspectorate team to
make a preliminary inspection and submit a punch list to the Contractor in
preparation for the total completion of the Works. The punch list shall contain,
19ME0143
among other things, the remaining unfinished portions of the Works, deficiencies in
the Works for necessary corrections, and the specific time to fully complete the
whole Works considering the approved remaining Contract time. This, however,
shall not preclude any claim of the Procuring Entity for liquidated damages.
45.1 In accordance with DPWH DO 100, series of 2015, the Procuring Entity,
through its Project Engineer/Engineer’s Representative, shall have the
authority to issue a Work Suspension Order to the Contractor suspend the
work wholly or partly by written order for such period as may be deemed
necessary, on any of the following grounds:
a. Force majeure or any fortuitous event that has taken place, which
inflicts extensive damage and/or makes it difficult to proceed with
the work, such as a devastating earthquake or flood.
The Contractor shall immediately comply with such order to suspend the
Works wholly or partly.
45.2 The Contractor or its duly authorized representative shall have the right to
suspend work operation on any or all projects/activities along the critical
path of activities after fifteen (15) calendar days from date of receipt of
written notice from the Contractor to the district engineer/regional
director/consultant or equivalent official, as the case may be, on any of the
following grounds:
19ME0143
b. Requisite construction plans which must be owner-furnished are not
issued to the contractor precluding any work called for by such
plans.
45.3 The contractor shall immediately demobilize its equipment and manpower
upon its receipt of the Work Suspension Order and to remobilize the same
upon the lifting by the Procuring Entity the Work Suspension Order through
a Work Resumption Order.
46.1 Extension of the Contract Time shall be subject to the provisions of DPWH
DO 100, series of 2015 and the provisions of this GCC Clause 46.
46.2 Should the amount of additional work under an approved Variation Order 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
19ME0143
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 to complete the contract work when, in the
Procuring Entity’s opinion, the findings of facts justify an extension.
46.3 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.
46.4 Extension of contract time may be granted only when the affected activities
fall within the critical path of the PERT/CPM network.
46.5 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.
46.6 Extension of contract time may be granted for any of the following grounds:
46.7 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.
