Sixth Edition

 Preface

These Philippine Bidding Documents (PBDs) for the procurement of Infrastructure

Projects (hereinafter referred to also as the “Works”) through Competitive Bidding have been
prepared by the Government of the Philippines for use by all branches, agencies, departments,
bureaus, offices, or instrumentalities of the government, including government-owned and/or
-controlled corporations, government financial institutions, state universities and colleges,
local government units, and autonomous regional government. The procedures and practices
presented in this document have been developed through broad experience, and are for
mandatory use in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the Government of the
Philippines or any foreign government/foreign or international financing institution in
accordance with the provisions of the 2016 revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184.

The PBDs are intended as a model for admeasurements (unit prices or unit rates in a
bill of quantities) types of contract, which are the most common in Works contracting.

The Bidding Documents shall clearly and adequately define, among others: (i) the
objectives, scope, and expected outputs and/or results of the proposed contract; (ii) the
eligibility requirements of Bidders; (iii) the expected contract duration; and (iv)the obligations,
duties, and/or functions of the winning Bidder.

Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the PBDs against the
requirements of the specific Works to be procured. If duplication of a subject is inevitable in
other sections of the document prepared by the Procuring Entity, care must be exercised to
avoid contradictions between clauses dealing with the same matter.

Moreover, each section is prepared with notes intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They shall not be included in
the final documents. The following general directions should be observed when using the
documents:

a. All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for the
procurement of Infrastructure Projects. However, they should be adapted as
necessary to the circumstances of the particular Project.

b. Specific details, such as the “name of the Procuring Entity” and “address for
bid submission,” should be furnished in the Instructions to Bidders, Bid Data
Sheet, and Special Conditions of Contract. The final documents should contain
neither blank spaces nor options.

c. This Preface and the footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation to
Bid, BDS, General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions of Contract,
Specifications, Drawings, and Bill of Quantities are not part of the text of the
final document, although they contain instructions that the Procuring Entity
should strictly follow.

d. The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding Documents as

to the names of the Project, Contract, and Procuring Entity, in addition to date
of issue.

1
e. Modifications for specific Procurement Project details should be provided in the
Special Conditions of Contract as amendments to the Conditions of Contract.
For easy completion, whenever reference has to be made to specific clauses in
the Bid Data Sheet or Special Conditions of Contract, these terms shall be
printed in bold typeface on Sections I (Instructions to Bidders) and III (General
Conditions of Contract), respectively.

f. For guidelines on the use of Bidding Forms and the procurement of Foreign-
Assisted Projects, these will be covered by a separate issuance of the
Government Procurement Policy Board.

Must be composed of the following:
 48-Port Optical Switch including license
 28-Port Optical Switch including license
 750W PSU
 25GB SFP 70m
 lG SFP 100m

The Switch should be a next-generation energy-saving gigabit Layer

2 Ethernet switch that provides flexible access ports and extensive
services.

Innovative Energy Saving

The Switch should offer customers extensive selection of energy-
saving with standard mode, basic mode and advanced mode that
accommodates most needs. By matching port link down/up,
optical-module in-place/out of place, port shut down/undo
shutdown, idle period, busy period to increase the proportion of the
dynamic energy-saving to reduce the power consumption.
It should reduce energy consumption without compromising system
performance, ensuring good user experience and adopts multiple
cutting-edge energy-saving designs, including Energy Efficient
Ethernet (EEE), port energy detection, dynamic CPU frequency
adjustment, and device sleeping.

Comprehensive reliability mechanisms

The Switch should support enhanced Ethernet reliability
technologies, such as Smart Link and RRPP (Rapid Ring Protection
Protocol), which implement millisecond-level protection switchover
and ensure network reliability, and should also provide Smart Link
multi-instance and RRPP multi-instance to implement load
balancing among links, optimizing bandwidth usage.

It should also support the Smart Ethernet Protection (SEP) protocol,

a ring network protocol applied to the link layer on an Ethernet
network. SEP can be used on open ring networks and can be
deployed on upper-layer aggregation devices to provide fast
switchover (within 50 ms), ensuring continuous transmission of
services. SEP features simplicity, high reliability, fast switchover,
easy maintenance, and flexible topology, facilitating network
planning and management.

Maintenance-free design and manageability

The Switch should support automatic configuration, plug-and-play
features, and batch remote upgrades. These capabilities simplify
device management and maintenance and reduce maintenance costs.
