Page 14 of 171

III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria, the Tenderer shall provide the information requested
in the corresponding information sheets included in Section IV, Tendering Forms.
17.2 Tenderers shall be asked to provide, as part of the data for qualification, such information,
including details of ownership, as shall be required to determine whether, according to the
classification established by the Procuring Entity a supplier or group of suppliers qualifies for a
margin of preference. Further the information will enable the Procuring Entity identify any
actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to the procurement and/or contract
management processes, or a possibility of collusion between tenderers, and thereby help to
prevent any corrupt influence in relation to the procurement process or contract management.
17.3 The purpose of the information described in ITT 15.1 above overrides any claims to
confidentiality which a tenderer may have. There can be no circumstances in which it would be
justified for a tenderer to keep information relating to its ownership and control confidential
where it is tendering to undertake public sector work and receive public sector funds. Thus,
confidentiality will not be accepted by the Procuring Entity as a justification for a Tenderer's
failure to disclose, or failure to provide required information on its ownership and control.
17.4 The Tenderer shall provide further documentary proof, information or authorizations that the
Procuring Entity may request in relation to ownership and control which information on any
changes to the information which was provided by the tenderer under ITT 15.1. The obligations
to require this information shall continue for the duration of the procurement process and
contract performance and after completion of the contract, if any change to the information
previously provided may reveal a conflict of interest in relation to the award or management of
the contract.
17.5 All information provided by the tenderer pursuant to these requirements must be complete,
Page 15 of 171
current and accurate as at the date of provision to the Procuring Entity. In submitting the
Page 16 of 171
information required pursuant to these requirements, the Tenderer shall warrant that the
information submitted is complete, current and accurate as at the date of submission to the
Procuring Entity.
17.6 If a tenderer fails to submit the information required by these requirements, its tenderer will be
rejected. Similarly, if the Procuring Entity is unable, after taking reasonable steps, to verify to a
reasonable degree the information submitted by a tenderer pursuant to these requirements,
then the tender will be rejected.
17.7 If information submitted by a tenderer pursuant to these requirements, or obtained by the
Procuring Entity (whether through its own enquiries, through notification by the public or
otherwise), shows any conflict of interest which could materially and improperly benefit the
tenderer in relation to the procurement or contract management process, then;
i) if the procurement process is still ongoing, the tenderer will be disqualified from the
procurement process,
ii) if the contract has been awarded to that tenderer, the contract award will be set aside,
iii) the tenderer will be referred to the relevant law enforcement authorities for investigation
of whether the tenderer or any other persons have committed any criminal offence.
17.8 If a tenderer submits information pursuant to these requirements that is in complete, inaccurate
or out- of-date, or attempts to obstruct the verification process, then the consequences ITT 6.7
will ensue unless the tenderer can show to the reasonable satisfaction of the Procuring Entity
that any such act was not material, or was due to genuine error which was not attributable to
the intentional act, negligence or recklessness of the tenderer.
18. Documents Establishing the Conformity of the Plant and Installation Services
18.1 The Tenderer shall furnish the information stipulated in Section IV, Tendering Forms in
sufficient detail to demonstrate substantial responsiveness of the Tenderers' proposal to the
work requirements and the completion time.
18.2 For major items of Plant and Installation Services as listed by the Procuring Entity in Section III,
Evaluation and Qualification Criteria, which the Tenderer intends to purchase or subcontract,
the Tenderer shall give details of the name and nationality of the proposed Subcontractors,
including manufacturers, for each of those items. In addition, the Tenderer shall include in its
Tender information establishing compliance with the requirements specified by the Procuring
Entity for these items. Quoted rates and prices will be deemed to apply to whichever
Subcontractor is appointed, and no adjustment of the rates and prices will be permitted.
18.3 The Tenderer shall be responsible for ensuring that any Subcontractor proposed complies with
the requirements of ITT 4, and that any plant, or services to be provided by the Subcontractor
comply with the requirements of ITT 5 and ITT 15.1
19. Tender Prices and Discounts
19.1 Unless otherwise specified in the TDS, Tenderers shall quote for the entire Plant and
Installation Services on a “single responsibility” basis. The total Tender price shall include all the
Contractor's obligations mentioned in or to be reasonably inferred from the Tendering
document in respect of the design, manufacture, including procurement and subcontracting (if
any), delivery, construction, installation and completion of the Plant. This includes all
requirements under the Contractor's responsibilities for testing, pre-commissioning and
commissioning of the plant and, where so required by the Tendering document, the acquisition

Page 26 of 171
30. Clarification of Tenders
Page 27 of 171
30.1 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of the Tenders, and qualification of
the Tenderers, the Procuring Entity 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 Procuring Entity shall not be considered. The Procuring Entity's request for clarification and
the response shall be in writing. No change in the prices or substance of the Tender shall be
sought, offered, or permitted, except to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered
by the Procuring Entity in the evaluation of the Tenders, in accordance with ITT32.
30.2 If a Tenderer does not provide clarifications of its Tender by the date and time set in the
Procuring Entity's request for clarification, its Tender may be rejected.
31. Deviations, Reservations, and Omissions
31.1 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.
32. Determination of Responsiveness
32.1 The Procuring Entity's determination of a Tender's responsiveness is to be based on the contents
of the Tender itself, as defined in ITT 11.
32.2 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 Plant and
Installation Services specified in the Contract; or
ii. Limit in any substantial way, in consistent with the Tendering document, the
Procuring Entity'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.
32.3 The Procuring Entity shall examine the technical aspects of the Tender in particular, to confirm
that all requirements of Section VII, Procuring Entity's Requirements have been met without
any material deviation, reservation, or omission.
32.4 If a Tender is not substantially responsive to the requirements of the Tendering document, it
shall be rejected by the Procuring Entity and may not subsequently be made responsive by
correction of the material deviation, reservation, or omission.
33. Non-material non-conformities
33.1 Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity may waive any
nonconformity in the Tender.
33.2 Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity may request that the
Tenderer submit the necessary information or documentation, within a reasonable period of
time, to rectify nonmaterial non- conformities in the Tender related to documentation
requirements. Requesting information or documentation on such non-conformities shall not be
Page 28 of 171
related to any
Page 29 of 171
aspect of the price of the Tender. Failure of the Tenderer to comply with the request may
result in the rejection of its Tender.
33.3 Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity shall rectify quantifiable
non material non-conformities related to the Tender Price. To this effect, the Tender Price shall
be adjusted, for comparison purposes only, to reflect the price of a missing or non-conforming
item or component in the manner specified in the TDS.
34. Correction of Arithmetical Errors
34.1 Provided that the tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity shall correct
arithmetical errors on the following basis:
i) 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 Procuring Entity 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;
ii) 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
iii) 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.
34.2 Any error detected if considered a major deviation that affects the substance of the tender,
shall lead to disqualification of the tender as non-responsive. The method of determining the
error as a major deviation shall be specified in the TDS.
34.3 Corrected tender prices shall not be used in the evaluation of tenders, comparison of tender prices.
34.4 The Procuring Entity shall calculate the difference between the corrected price and tender price
and work out the percentage difference, which will be plus or minus tender price as the case
may be; [i.e. (corrected tender price– tender price)/ tender price X100]. This percentage
difference between corrected tender price and tender price may be used to determine if the
error so detected is considered a major deviation that affects the substance of the tender.
34.5 On award of contract, all payment valuation certificates, variation orders on omissions and
additions valued based on rates in the Bill of Quantities will be adjusted by such a percentage
specified in ITT 31.4 to ensure contractor is not paid less or more relative to the contract price
which would be the tender price.
35. Conversion to Single Currency
35.1 For evaluation and comparison purposes, the currency (ies) of the Tender shall be converted into
a single currency as specified in the TDS.
36. Margin of Preference
36.1 A margin of preference may be allowed on locally manufactured goods (plant and equipment)
only when the contract is open to international tendering, where the tender is likely to attract
foreign goods and where the contract exceeds the threshold specified in the Regulations.
36.2 A margin of preference shall not be allowed unless it is specified so in the TDS.
36.3 Contracts procured on basis of international tendering and competition shall not be subject to
reservations exclusive/ specific groups under women, youth and persons living with disability.
Page 30 of 171
36.4 Where it is intended to reserve a contract to a specific group of businesses (these groups are
Small and Medium Enterprises, Women Enterprises, Youth Enterprises and Enterprises of
persons living with disability, as the case may be), and who are appropriately registered as
such by a competent authority, a procuring entity shall ensure that the invitation to tender
specifically indicates that only businesses or firms belonging to the specified group are eligible to
tender. Tender shall be reserved to only one group. If not so stated in the Tender documents,
the invitation to tender will be open to all interested tenderers.
37. Evaluation of Tenders
37.1 The Procuring Entity shall use the criteria and methodologies listed in this ITT and Section III,
Evaluation and Qualification criteria. No other evaluation criteria or methodologies shall be
permitted. By applying the criteria and methodologies the Procuring Entity shall determine the
Best Evaluated Tender. This is the Tender of the Tenderer that meets the qualification criteria
and that has been determined to be:
a) Most responsive to the Tendering document; and
b) The lowest evaluated cost.
37.2 Technical Evaluation. The Procuring Entity will carry out a detailed technical evaluation of
the Tenders not previously rejected to determine whether the technical aspects are
incompliance with the Tendering document. The Tender that does not meet minimum
acceptable standards of completeness, consistency and detail, and the specified minimum (or
maximum, as the case may be) requirements for specified functional guarantees, will be
rejected for non-responsiveness. In order to reach its determination, the Procuring Entity will
examine and compare the technical aspects of the Tenders on the basis of the information
supplied by the Tenderers, taking into account the following:
a) Overall completeness and compliance with the Procuring Entity's Requirements;
conformity of the Plant and Installation Services offered with specified performance
criteria, including conformity with the specified minimum (or maximum, as the case
may be) requirement corresponding to each functional guarantee, as indicated in the
Specification and in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria; suitability of the
Plant and Installation Services offered in relation to the environmental and climatic
conditions prevailing at the site; and quality, function and operation of any process
control concept included in the Tender;
b) type, quantity and long-term availability of mandatory and recommended spare parts
and maintenance services; and
c) other relevant factors, if any, listed in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
37.3 Where alternative technical solutions have been allowed in accordance with ITT 13, and offered
by the Tenderer, the Procuring Entity will make a similar evaluation of the alternatives. Where
alternatives have not been allowed but have been offered, they shall be ignored.
37.4 Economic Evaluation. To evaluate a Tender, the Procuring Entity shall consider the following:
a) the Tender price, excluding provisional sums and the provision, if any, for
contingencies in the Price Schedules;
b) price adjustment due to discounts offered in accordance with ITT 17.11;
c) price adjustment due to quantifiable non material non-conformities in accordance
with ITT 31.3;
Page 31 of 171
d) converting the amount resulting from applying (a) to (c) above, if relevant, to a single
currency in accordance with ITT 33; and
e) the evaluation factors specified in the TDS and in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification
Criteria.
37.5 If price adjustment is allowed in accordance with ITT 17.7, 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.
37.6 In the case of multiple contracts or lots, Tenderers are allowed to tender for one or more lots
and the methodology to determine the lowest evaluated cost of the lot (contract) and for
combinations, including any discounts offered in the Form of Tender, is specified in Section III,
Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
38. Comparison of Tenders
38.1 The Procuring Entity shall compare the evaluated costs of all substantially responsive Tenders
established in accordance with ITT 35.4 to determine the Tender that has the lowest evaluated
cost.
39. Abnormally Low Tenders and Abnormally High Tenders
39.1 An Abnormally Low Tender is one where the Tender price, in combination with other elements
of the Tender, appears so low that it raises material concerns as to the capability of the
Tenderer to perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price or that genuine competition
between Tenderers is compromised.
39.2 In the event of identification of a potentially Abnormally Low Tender, the Procuring Entity shall
seek written clarifications from the Tenderer, including detailed price analyses of its Tender
price in correlation to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed methodology,
schedule, allocation of risks and responsibilities and any other requirements of the Tendering
document.
39.3 After evaluation of the price analyses, in the event that the Procuring Entity determines that
the Tenderer has failed to demonstrate its capability to deliver the contract for the offered
tender price, the Procuring Entity shall reject the Tender.
39.4 An abnormally high price is one where the tender price, in combination with other constituent
elements of the Tender, appears unreasonably too high to the extent that the Procuring Entity
is concerned that it (the Procuring Entity) may not be getting value for money or it may be
paying too high a price for the contract compared with market prices or that genuine
competition between Tenderers is compromised.
39.5 In case of an abnormally high tender price, the Procuring Entity shall make a survey of the
market prices, check if the estimated cost of the contract is correct and review the Tender
Documents to check if the specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract are
contributory to the abnormally high tenders. The Procuring Entity may also seek written
clarification from the tenderer on the reason for the high tender price. The Procuring Entity
shall proceed as follows:
I. If the tender price is abnormally high based on wrong estimated cost of the
contract, the Procuring Entity may accept or not accept the tender depending on
the Procuring Entity's budget considerations.
II. If specifications, scope of work and/or conditions of contract are contributory to
the abnormally high tender prices, the Procuring Entity shall reject all tenders and
may retender for the contract based on revised estimates, specifications, scope of
Page 32 of 171
work and conditions of contract, as the case may be.
Page 33 of 171
39.6 If the Procuring Entity determines that the Tender Price is abnormally too high because genuine
competition between tenderers is compromised (often due to collusion, corruption or other
manipulations), the Procuring Entity shall reject all Tenders and shall institute or cause
competent Government Agencies to institute an investigation on the cause of the
compromise, before retendering.
40. Unbalanced or Front Loaded Tenders
1. If the Tender that is evaluated as the lowest evaluated cost is, in the Procuring Entity's
opinion, seriously unbalanced or front loaded the Procuring Entity may require the Tenderer to
provide written clarifications. Clarifications may include detailed price analyses to demonstrate
the consistency of the Tender prices with the scope of works, proposed methodology, schedule
and any other requirements of the Tendering document.
2. After the evaluation of the information and detailed price analyses presented by the Tenderer,
the Procuring Entity may:
a) Accept the Tender; or
b) If appropriate, require that the total amount of the Performance Security be
increased, at the expense of the Tenderer, to a level not exceeding twenty percent
(10%) of the Contract Price; or
c) Reject the Tender.
41. Eligibility and Qualification of the Tenderer
41.1 The Procuring Entity shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Tenderer that is selected as
having submitted the lowest evaluated cost and substantially responsive Tender is eligible and
meets the qualifying criteria specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
41.2 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence of the
Tenderer's qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant to ITT 15.1. The determination
shall not take into consideration the qualifications of other firms such as the Tenderer's
subsidiaries, parent entities, affiliates, subcontractors (other than Specialized Subcontractors if
permitted in the Tendering document) or any other firm (s) different from the Tenderer.
41.3 An affirmative determination 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
Procuring Entity shall proceed to the Tenderer who offers a substantially responsive Tender
with the next lowest evaluated cost to make a similar determination of that Tenderer's
qualifications to perform satisfactorily.
41.4 The capabilities of the manufacturers and subcontractors proposed in its Tender to be used by
the Tenderer with the Lowest Evaluated Tender for identified major items of supply or services
will also be evaluated for acceptability in accordance with Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria. Their participation should be confirmed with a Form of intent between
the parties, as needed. Should a manufacturer or subcontractor be determined to be
unacceptable, the Tender will not be rejected, but the Tenderer will be required to substitute
an acceptable manufacturer or subcontractor without any change to the Tender price. Prior to
signing the Contract,
The corresponding Appendix to the Contract Agreement shall be completed, listing the
approved manufacturers or subcontractors for each item concerned.
42. Procuring Entity's right to Accept Any Tender and to Reject Any or All Tenders.
Page 34 of 171
42.1 The Procuring Entity 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 there by
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
43. Award Criteria
43.1 Subject to ITT 40, the Procuring Entity shall award the Contract to the successful Tenderer.
This is the Tenderer whose Tender has been determined to be the Lowest Evaluated Tender.
This is the Tender of the Tenderer that meets the qualification criteria and whose Tender has
been determined to be:
a) Substantially responsive to the Tendering Document; and
b) The lowest evaluated cost
44. Notice of Intention to Enter into a Contract/ Notification of Award
44.1 When a Standstill Period applies, it shall commence when the Procuring Entity has transmitted
to each Tenderer the Notification of Intention to Award the Contract to the successful
Tenderer. The Notification of Intention to Award shall contain, at a minimum, the following
information:
a) The name and address of the Tenderer submitting the successful Tender;
b) The Contract price of the successful Tender;
c) A statement of the reason (s) the Tender (of the unsuccessful Tenderer to whom the
Form is addressed) was unsuccessful, unless the price information in c) above already
reveals the reason;
d) The expiry date of the Standstill Period; and
e) Instructions on how to request a debriefing and/ or submit a complaint during the
standstill period.
45. Standstill Period
45.1 The Contract shall not be signed earlier than the expiry of a Standstill Period of 14 days to
allow any dissatisfied tender to launch a complaint. Where only one Tender is submitted, the
Standstill Period shall not apply.
45.2 Where a Standstill Period applies, it shall commence when the Procuring Entity has transmitted
to each Tenderer the Notification of Intention to Enter in to a Contract with the successful
Tenderer.
46. Debriefing by the Procuring Entity
46.1 On receipt of the Procuring Entity's Notification of Intention to Enter into a Contract referred to
in ITT 43, an unsuccessful tenderer may make a written request to the Procuring Entity for a
debriefing on specific issues or concerns regarding their tender. The Procuring Entity shall
provide the debriefing within five days of receipt of the request.
46.2 Debriefings of unsuccessful Tenderers may be done in writing or verbally. The Tenderer shall
bear its own costs of attending such a debriefing meeting.
Page 35 of 171
47.1 Prior to the expiry of the Tender Validity Period and upon expiry of the Standstill Period
specified in ITT 43.1, upon addressing a complaint that has been filed within the Standstill
Period, the Procuring Entity shall transmit the Letter of Award to the successful Tenderer. The
letter of award shall request the successful tenderer to furnish the Performance Security within
21 days of the date of the letter.
48. Signing of Contract
48.1 Upon the expiry of the fourteen days of the Notification of Intention to enter into contract and
upon the parties meeting their respective statutory requirements, the Procuring Entity shall

propose, and subsequently require, that the Project Manager order the Contractor from time
to time during the performance of the Contract to make any change, modification, addition
Page 163 of
or deletion to, in or from the Facilities here in after called “Change”, provided that such
Change
Page 164 of
falls within the general scope of the Facilities and does not constitute unrelated work and
that it is technically practicable, taking into account both the state of advancement of the
Facilities and the technical compatibility of the Change envisaged with the nature of the
Facilities as specified in the Contract.
39.1.2 Value Engineering: The Contractor may prepare, at its own cost, a value engineering
proposal at any time during the performance of the contract. The value engineering
proposal shall, at a minimum, include the following;
a) The proposed change (s), and a description of the difference to the existing contract
requirements;
b) a full cost/benefit analysis of the proposed change(s) including a description and
estimate of costs (including life cycle costs) the Procuring Entity may incur in
implementing the value engineering proposal; and
c) a description of any effect (s) of the change on performance/ functionality.
The Procuring Entity may accept the value engineering proposal if the proposal demonstrates
benefits that:
a) accelerates the delivery period; or
b) reduces the Contract Price or the life cycle costs to the Procuring Entity; or
c) improves the quality, efficiency, safety or sustain ability of the Facilities; or
d) yields any other benefits to the Procuring Entity, without compromising the necessary
functions of the Facilities.
If the value engineering proposal is approved by the Procuring Entity and results in:
(a) a reduction of the Contract Price; the amount to be paid to the Contractor shall be
the percentage specified in the SCC of the reduction in the Contract Price; or
(b) an increase in the Contract Price; but results in a reduction in life cycle costs due to
any benefit described in (a) to (d) above, the amount to be paid to the Contractor
shall be the full increase in the Contract Price.
39.1.3 Notwithstanding GCC Sub-Clauses 39.1.1 and 39.1.2, no change made necessary because of
any default of the Contractor in the performance of its obligations under the Contract shall
be deemed to be a Change, and such change shall not result in any adjustment of the
Contract Price or the Time for Completion.
39.1.4 The procedure on how to proceed with and execute Changes is specified in GCC Sub-Clauses
39.2 and 39.3, and further details and forms are provided in the Procuring Entity's
Requirements (Forms and Procedures).
39.2 Changes Originating from Procuring Entity
39.2.1 If the Procuring Entity proposes a Change pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 39.1.1, it shall send
to the Contractor a “Request for Change Proposal,” requiring the Contractor to prepare and
furnish to the Project Manager as soon as reasonably practicable a “Change Proposal,” which
shall include the following:
a) Brief description of the Change
b) Effect on the Time for Completion
c) Estimated cost of the Change
d) Effect on Functional Guarantees (if any)
Page 165 of
e) Effect on the Facilities

39.2.2 Prior to preparing and submitting the “Change Proposal,” the Contractor shall submit to the
Project Manager an “Estimate for Change Proposal,” which shall be an estimate of the cost of
preparing and submitting the Change Proposal. Upon receipt of the Contractor's Estimate for
Change Proposal, the Procuring Entity shall do one of the following:
Accept the Contractor's estimate with instructions to the Contractor to proceed with
the preparation of the Change Proposal
Advise the Contractor of any part of its Estimate for Change Proposal that is
unacceptable and request the Contractor to review its estimate
Advise the Contractor that the Procuring Entity does not intend to proceed with the
Change.
39.2.3 Upon receipt of the Procuring Entity's instruction to proceed under GCC Sub-Clause 39.2.2
(a), the Contractor shall, with proper expedition, proceed with the preparation of the Change
Proposal, in accordance with GCC Sub-Clause 39.2.1.
39.2.4 The pricing of any Change shall, as far as practicable, be calculated in accordance with the
rates and prices included in the Contract. If such rates and prices are inequitable, the Parties
there to shall agree on specific rates for the valuation of the Change.
39.2.5 If before or during the preparation of the Change Proposal it becomes apparent that the
aggregate effect of compliance there with and with all other Change Orders that have
already become binding upon the Contractor under this GCC Clause 39 would be to increase
or decrease the Contract Price as originally set for thin Article 2 (Contract Price) of the
Contract Agreement by more than fifteen percent (15%), the Contractor may give a written
notice of objection there to prior to furnishing the Change Proposal as aforesaid. If the
Procuring Entity accepts the Contractor's objection, the Procuring Entity shall withdraw the
proposed Change and shall notify the Contractor in writing thereof. The Contractor's failure
to so object shall neither affect its right to object to any subsequent requested Changes or
Change Orders here in, nor affect its right to take in to account, when making such
subsequent objection, the percentage increase or decrease in the Contract Price that any
Change not objected to by the Contractor represents.
39.2.6 Upon receipt of the Change Proposal, the Procuring Entity and the Contractor shall mutually
agree upon all matters therein contained. Within fourteen (14) days after such agreement,
the Procuring Entity shall, if it intends to proceed with the Change, issue the Contractor with
a Change Order. If the Procuring Entity is unable to reach a decision within fourteen (14)
days, it shall notify the Contractor with details of when the Contractor can expect a decision.
If the Procuring Entity decides not to proceed with the Change for whatever reason, it shall,
within the said period of fourteen (14) days, notify the Contractor accordingly. Under such
circumstances, the Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs reasonably
incurred by it in the preparation of the Change Proposal, provided that these do not exceed
the amount given by the Contractor in its Estimate for Change Proposal submitted in
accordance with GCC Sub-Clause 39.2.2.
39.2.7 If the Procuring Entity and the Contractor cannot reach agreement on the price for the
Change, an equitable adjustment to the Time for Completion, or any other matters identified
in the Change Proposal, the Procuring Entity may nevertheless instruct the Contractor to
proceed with the Change by issue of a “Pending Agreement Change Order.” Upon receipt of
a Pending Agreement Change Order, the Contractor shall immediately proceed with effecting
Page 166 of
the Changes
Page 167 of
covered by such Order. The Parties shall there after attempt to reach agreement on the
outstanding issues under the Change Proposal. If the Parties cannot reach agreement within
sixty (60) days from the date of issue of the Pending Agreement Change Order, then the
matter may be referred to the Dispute Board in accordance with the provisions of GCC Sub-
Clause 46.1.
39.2.8 Changes Originating from Contractor
39.2.8.1 If the Contractor proposes a Change pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 39.1.2, the Contractor
shall submit to the Project Manager a written “Application for Change Proposal,” giving
reasons for the proposed Change and including the information specified in GCC Sub-
Clause 39.1.2.
39.2.8.2 Upon receipt of the Application for Change Proposal, the Parties shall follow the procedures
outlined in GCC Sub-Clauses 39.2.6 and 39.2.7. However, the Contractor shall not be
entitled to recover the costs of preparing the Application for Change Proposal.
40.Extension of Time for Completion
40.1 The Time(s) for Completion specified in the SCC pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 8.2 shall be
extended if the Contractor is delayed or impeded in the performance of any of its obligations
under the Contract by reason of any of the following:
a) any Change in the Facilities as provided in GCC Clause 39
b) any occurrence of Force Majeure as provided in GCC Clause 37, unforeseen conditions
as provided in GCC Clause 35, or other occurrence of any of the matters specified or
referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of GCC Sub-Clause 32.2
c) Any suspension order given by the Procuring Entity under GCC Clause 41 here of or
reduction in the rate of progress pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 41.2 or
d) Any changes in laws and regulations as provided in GCC Clause 36 or
e) Any default or breach of the Contract by the Procuring Entity, Appendix to the
Contract Agreement titled, or any activity, actor omission of the Procuring Entity, or
the Project Manager, or any other contractors employed by the Procuring Entity, or
f) Any delay on the part of a Subcontractor, provided such delay is due to a cause for
which the Contractor himself would have been entitled to an extension of time under
this sub-clause, or
g) Delays attributable to the Procuring Entity or caused by customs, or
h) any other matter specifically mentioned in the Contract by such period as shall be fair
and reasonable in all the circumstances and as shall fairly reflect the delay or
impediment sustained by the Contractor.
40.2 Except where otherwise specifically provided in the Contract, the Contractor shall submit to the
Project Manager a notice of a claim for an extension of the Time for Completion, together with
particulars of the event or circumstance justifying such extension as soon as reasonably
practicable after the commencement of such event or circumstance. As soon as reasonably
practicable after receipt of such notice and supporting particulars of the claim, the Procuring
Entity and the Contractor shall agree upon the period of such extension. In the event that the
Contractor does not accept the Procuring Entity's estimate of a fair and reasonable time
extension, the Contractor shall be entitled to refer the matter to a Dispute Board, pursuant to
GCC Sub-Clause 46.1.
40.3 The Contractor shall at all times use its reasonable efforts to minimize any delay in the
Page 168 of
performance of its obligations under the Contract.
Page 169 of
40.4 In all cases where the Contractor has given a notice of a claim for an extension of time under
GCC 40.2, the Contractor shall consult with the Project Manager in order to determine the
steps (if any) which can be taken to overcome or minimize the actual or anticipated delay. The
Contractor shall there after comply with all reasonable instructions which the Project Manager
shall give in order to minimize such delay. If compliance with such instructions shall cause the
Contractor to incur extra costs and the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under
GCC 40.1, the amount of such extra costs shall be added to the Contract Price.
41 Suspension
41.1 Procuring Entity may request the Project Manager, by notice to the Contractor, to order the
Contractor to suspend performance of any or all of its obligations under the Contract. Such
notice shall specify the obligation of which performance is to be suspended, the effective date
of the suspension and the reasons therefor. The Contractor shall thereupon suspend
performance of such obligation, except those obligations necessary for the care or preservation
of the Facilities, until ordered in writing to resume such performance by the Project Manager.
If, by virtue of a suspension order given by the Project Manager, other than by reason of the
Contractor's default or breach of the Contract, the Contractor's performance of any of its
obligations is suspended for an aggregate period of more than ninety (90) days, then at any
time there after and provided that at that time such performance is still suspended, the
Contractor may give a notice to the Project Manager requiring that the Procuring Entity shall,
within twenty-eight (28) days of receipt of the notice, order the resumption of such
performance or request and subsequently order a change in accordance with GCC Clause 39,
excluding the performance of the suspended obligations from the Contract.
41.2 If the Procuring Entity fails to do so within such period, the Contractor may, by a further notice
to the Project Manager, elect to treat the suspension, where it affects apart only of the
Facilities, as a deletion of such part in accordance with GCC Clause 39 or, where it affects the
whole of the Facilities, as termination of the Contract under GCC Sub-Clause.
41.3 If
a. Procuring Entity has failed to pay the Contractor any sum due under the Contract within the
specified period, has failed to approve any invoice or supporting documents without just cause
pursuant to the Appendix to the Contract Agreement titled Terms and Procedures of Payment,
or commits a substantial breach of the Contract, the Contractor may give a notice to the
Procuring Entity that requires payment of such sum, with interest there on as stipulated in GCC
Sub-Clause 12.3, requires approval of such invoice or supporting documents, or specifies the
breach and requires the Procuring Entity to remedy the same, as the case may be. If the
Procuring Entity fails to pay such sum together with such interest, fails to approve such invoice
or supporting documents or give its reasons for withholding such approval, or fails to remedy
the breach or take steps to remedy the breach within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the
Contractor's notice or
b. The Contractor is unable to carry out any of its obligations under the Contract for any reason
attributable to the Procuring Entity, including but not limited to the Procuring Entity's failure to
provide possession of or access to the Site or other areas in accordance with GCC Sub-Clause
10.2, or failure to obtain any governmental permit necessary for the execution and/or
completion of the Facilities, then the Contractor may by fourteen (14) days' notice to the
Procuring Entity suspend performance of all or any of its obligations under the Contract, or
reduce the rate of progress.
41.4 If the Contractor's performance of its obligations is suspended or the rate of progress is
reduced pursuant to this GCC Clause 41, then the Time for Completion shall be extended in
Page 170 of
accordance
Page 171 of
with GCC Sub-Clause 40.1, and any and all additional costs or expenses incurred by the
Contractor as a result of such suspension or reduction shall be paid by the Procuring Entity to
the Contractor in addition to the Contract Price, except in the case of suspension order or
reduction in the rate of progress by reason of the Contractor's default or breach of the
Contract.
