execution of contracts. In pursuance of this policy, the Government of Uttarakhand:
(a) defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
(i) “corrupt practice” means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting, directly or
indirectly, anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party;

knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial

party has interests that could improperly influence that party’s performance of official
duties or responsibilities, contractual obligations, or compliance with applicable laws
and regulations, and that such conflict of interest may contribute to or constitute a
prohibited practice. Government of Uttarakhand will take appropriate actions, which

Bid of another Bidder, or influence the decisions of the Employer regarding this
bidding process; or

Bidder in more than one Bid will result in the disqualification of all Bids in which the

nonmaterial nonconformities related to the Bid Price. To this effect, the Bid Price

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;

the subtotals shall prevail and the total shall be corrected; and

errors, its Bid shall be disqualified and its bid security may be forfeited.

33. Evaluation of Price Bids

33.1 The Employer shall use the criteria and methodologies listed in this Clause. No other

discounts offered in the Letter of Price Bid, is specified in Section 3 (Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria).

Price, is seriously unbalanced or front loaded in the opinion of the Employer, the
Employer may require the Bidder 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 Bidder to a level sufficient to protect the Employer against financial
loss in the event of default of the successful Bidder under the Contract. The increase
in performance security shall be evaluated as per procedures specified in BDS.

shall promptly respond in writing to any unsuccessful Bidder who, after publication of
contract award, requests a debriefing.

located outside the country of the Employer, it shall have a correspondent financial
institution located in the country of the Employer to make it enforceable.

or to sign the Contract Agreement shall constitute sufficient grounds for the
annulment of the award and forfeiture of the bid security. In that event the Employer
may award the Contract to the next lowest evaluated Bidder whose offer is
substantially responsive and is determined by the Employer to be qualified to perform
the Contract satisfactorily.
