25. PROCESS TO BE CONFIDENTIAL


Information relating to the examination, clarification, evaluation, and comparison of Bids and
recommendations for the award of a contract shall not be disclosed to Bidders or any other
persons not officially concerned with such process until the award to the successful Bidder
has been announced. Any effort by a Bidder to influence the Employer’s processing of Bids
or award decisions may result in the rejection of his Bid.

26. CLARIFICATION OF BIDS


26.1 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of Bids, the Employer may, at his
discretion, ask any Bidder for clarification of his Bid, including breakdowns of unit rates. The

meets the eligibility criteria defined under this section (b) has been properly signed; (c) is
accompanied by the required securities and; (d) is substantially responsive to the
requirements of the Bidding documents.

specifications of the Bidding documents, without material deviation or reservation. A
material deviation or reservation is one (a) which affects in any substantial way the scope,
quality, or performance of the Works (b) which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent

estimate of the cost of work to be performed under the contract, the Employer may require
the Bidder to produce detailed price analysis 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, the Employer may require that the
amount of the performance security set forth in Clause 28 under this Section be increased at
the expense of the successful Bidder to a level sufficient to protect the Employer against
financial loss in the event of default of the successful Bidder under the Contract.
