Instructions to Bidders

A. General

1. Scope of Bid	1.1 The Employer, as defined in the Bidding Data Sheet (BDS), invites bids for the Services, as described in the Appendix A to the Contract. The name and identification number of the Contract is provided in the BDS. 1.2 The successful Bidder will be expected to complete the performance of the Services by the Intended Completion Date provided in the BDS.
2. Source of Funds	2.1 The Borrower, as defined in the BDS, intends to apply part of the funds of a loan from the World Bank, as defined in the BDS, towards the cost of the Project, as defined in the BDS, to cover eligible payments under the Contract for the Services. Payments by the World Bank will be made only at the request of the Borrower and upon approval by the World Bank in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of that Agreement. Except as the World Bank may specifically otherwise agree, no party other than the Borrower shall derive any rights from the Loan Agreement or have any rights to the loan proceeds.
3. Corrupt or Fraudulent Practices	3.1 It is the Bank’s policy to require that Borrowers (including beneficiaries of Bank loans), as well as bidders, suppliers, and contractors and their subcontractors under Bank-financed contracts, observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement and execution of such contracts. [1] In pursuance of this policy, the Bank: (a) defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows: (i) “corrupt practice”[2] is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party; (ii) “fraudulent practice”[3] is any act or omission, including a misrepresentation, that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation; (iii) “collusive practice”[4] is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party; (iv) “coercive practice”[5] is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party; (v) “obstructive practice” is (aa) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making false statements to investigators in order to materially impede a Bank investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice; and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation, or (bb) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the Bank’s inspection and audit rights provided for under para. 1.14 (e) of the Bank’s Procurement Guidelines. (a) will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the Bidder recommended for award has, directly or through an agent, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive or obstructive practices in competing for the contract in question; (b) will cancel the portion of the loan allocated to a contract if it determines at any time that representatives of the Borrower or of a beneficiary of the loan engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive or obstructive practices during the procurement or the execution of that contract, without the Borrower having taken timely and appropriate action satisfactory to the Bank to remedy the situation; (c) will sanction a firm or individual, including declaring them ineligible, either indefinitely or for a stated period of time, to be awarded a Bank-financed contract if it at any time determines that they have, directly or through an agent, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive or obstructive practices in competing for, or in executing, a Bank-financed contract; and (e) will have the right to require that a provision be included in bidding documents and in contracts financed by a Bank Loan, requiring bidders, suppliers, contractors and consultants to permit the Bank to inspect their accounts and records and other documents relating to the Bid submission and contract performance and to have them audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.
	3.2 Furthermore, Bidders shall be aware of the provision stated in Sub-Clauses 1.7 and 2.6.1 of the General Conditions of Contract.
4. Eligible Bidders	4.1 This Invitation for Bids is open to all bidders from eligible countries as defined in the Procurement Guidelines. Any materials, equipment, and Services to be used in the performance of the Contract shall have their origin in eligible source countries. 4.2 All bidders shall provide in Section III, Bidding Forms, a statement that the Bidder (including all members of a joint venture and subcontractors) is not associated, nor has been associated in the past, directly or indirectly, with the consultant or any other entity that has prepared the design, specifications, and other documents for the Project or being proposed as Project Manager for the Contract. A firm that has been engaged by the Borrower to provide Consultant Services for the preparation or supervision of the Services, and any of its affiliates, shall not be eligible to bid. 4.3 Government-owned enterprises in the Employer’s country may only participate if they are legally and financially autonomous, operate under commercial law, and are not a dependent agency of the Employer. 4.4 The loan agreement prohibits a withdrawal from the loan account for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of the Bank, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council, taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. 4.5 Bidders shall not be under a declaration of ineligibility for corrupt and fraudulent practices issued by the Bank in accordance with ITB Sub-Clause 3.1.
5. Qualification of the Bidder	5.1 All bidders shall provide in Section III, Bidding Forms, a preliminary description of the proposed work method and schedule, including drawings and charts, as necessary. 5.2 In the event that prequalification of potential bidders has been undertaken as stated in the BDS, only bids from prequalified bidders shall be considered for award of Contract, in which case the provisions of sub-clauses 5.3 to 5.6 hereafter shall not apply. These qualified bidders should submit with their bids any information updating their original prequalification applications or, alternatively, confirm in their bids that the originally submitted prequalification information remains essentially correct as of the date of bid submission. The update or confirmation should be provided in Section IV. 5.3 If the Employer has not undertaken prequalification of potential bidders, all bidders shall include the following information and documents with their bids in Section IV, unless otherwise stated in the BDS: (a) copies of original documents defining the constitution or legal status, place of registration, and principal place of business; written power of attorney of the signatory of the Bid to commit the Bidder; (b) total monetary value of Services performed for each of the last five years; (c) experience in Services of a similar nature and size for each of the last five years, and details of Services under way or contractually committed; and names and address of clients who may be contacted for further information on those contracts; (d) list of major items of equipment proposed to carry out the Contract; (e) qualifications and experience of key site management and technical personnel proposed for the Contract; (f) reports on the financial standing of the Bidder, such as profit and loss statements and auditor’s reports for the past five years; (g) evidence of adequacy of working capital for this Contract (access to line(s) of credit and availability of other financial resources); (h) authority to the Employer to seek references from the Bidder’s bankers; (i) information regarding any litigation, current or during the last five years, in which the Bidder is involved, the parties concerned, and disputed amount; and (j) proposals for subcontracting components of the Services amounting to more than 10 percent of the Contract Price. 5.4 Bids submitted by a joint venture of two or more firms as partners shall comply with the following requirements, unless otherwise stated in the BDS: (a) the Bid shall include all the information listed in ITB Sub-Clause 5.3 above for each joint venture partner; (b) the Bid shall be signed so as to be legally binding on all partners; (c) the Bid shall include a copy of the agreement entered into by the joint venture partners defining the division of assignments to each partner and establishing that all partners shall be jointly and severally liable for the execution of the Contract in accordance with the Contract terms; alternatively, a Letter of Intent to execute a joint venture agreement in the event of a successful bid shall be signed by all partners and submitted with the bid, together with a copy of the proposed agreement; (d) one of the partners shall be nominated as being in charge, authorized to incur liabilities, and receive instructions for and on behalf of any and all partners of the joint venture; and (e) the execution of the entire Contract, including payment, shall be done exclusively with the partner in charge. 5.5 To qualify for award of the Contract, bidders shall meet the following minimum qualifying criteria: (a) annual volume of Services of at least the amount specified in the BDS; (b) experience as prime contractor in the provision of at least two service contracts of a nature and complexity equivalent to the Services over the last 5 years (to comply with this requirement, Services contracts cited should be at least 70 percent complete) as specified in the BDS; (c) proposals for the timely acquisition (own, lease, hire, etc.) of the essential equipment listed in the BDS; (d) a Contract Manager with five years’ experience in Services of an equivalent nature and volume, including no less than three years as Manager; and (e) liquid assets and/or credit facilities, net of other contractual commitments and exclusive of any advance payments which may be made under the Contract, of no less than the amount specified in the BDS. A consistent history of litigation or arbitration awards against the Applicant or any partner of a Joint Venture may result in disqualification. 5.6 The figures for each of the partners of a joint venture shall be added together to determine the Bidder’s compliance with the minimum qualifying criteria of ITB Sub-Clause 4.4(a), (b) and (e); however, for a joint venture to qualify the partner in charge must meet at least 40 percent of those minimum criteria for an individual Bidder and other partners at least 25% of the criteria. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in rejection of the joint venture’s Bid. Subcontractors’ experience and resources will not be taken into account in determining the Bidder’s compliance with the qualifying criteria, unless otherwise stated in the BDS.
6. One Bid per Bidder	6.1 Each Bidder shall submit only one Bid, either individually or as a partner in a joint venture. A Bidder who submits or participates in more than one Bid (other than as a subcontractor or in cases of alternatives that have been permitted or requested) will cause all the proposals with the Bidder’s participation to be disqualified.
7. Cost of Bidding	7.1 The Bidder shall bear all costs associated with the preparation and submission of his Bid, and the Employer will in no case be responsible or liable for those costs.
8. Site Visit	8.1 The Bidder, at the Bidder’s own responsibility and risk, is encouraged to visit and examine the Site of required Services and its surroundings and obtain all information that may be necessary for preparing the Bid and entering into a contract for the Services.

Alternative Proposals by Bidders	18.1 Unless otherwise indicated in the BDS, alternative bids shall not be considered. 18.2 When alternative times for completion are explicitly invited, a statement to that effect will be included in the BDS, as will the method of evaluating different times for completion. 18.3 Except as provided under ITB Sub-Clause 18.4 below, bidders wishing to offer technical alternatives to the requirements of the bidding documents must first submit a Bid that complies with the requirements of the bidding documents, including the scope, basic technical data, graphical documents and specifications. In addition to submitting the basic Bid, the Bidder shall provide all information necessary for a complete evaluation of the alternative by the Employer, including calculations, technical specifications, breakdown of prices, proposed work methods and other relevant details. Only the technical alternatives, if any, of the lowest evaluated Bidder conforming to the basic technical requirements shall be considered by the Employer. Alternatives to the specified performance levels shall not be accepted. 18.4 When bidders are permitted in the BDS to submit alternative technical solutions for specified parts of the Services, such parts shall be described in the Specifications (or Terms of Reference) and Drawings, Section VIII. In such case, the method for evaluating such alternatives will be as indicated in the BDS.
19. Format and Signing of Bid	19.1 The Bidder shall prepare one original of the documents comprising the Bid as described in ITB Clause 11 of these Instructions to Bidders, bound with the volume containing the Form of Bid, and clearly marked “Original.” In addition, the Bidder shall submit copies of the Bid, in the number specified in the BDS, and clearly marked as “Copies.” In the event of discrepancy between them, the original shall prevail. 19.2 The original and all copies of the Bid shall be typed or written in indelible ink and shall be signed by a person or persons duly authorized to sign on behalf of the Bidder, pursuant to Sub-Clauses 5.3(a) or 5.4(b), as the case may be. All pages of the Bid where entries or amendments have been made shall be initialed by the person or persons signing the Bid. 19.3 The Bid shall contain no alterations or additions, except those to comply with instructions issued by the Employer, or as necessary to correct errors made by the Bidder, in which case such corrections shall be initialed by the person or persons signing the Bid.

D. Submission of Bids

20. Sealing and Marking of Bids	20.1 The Bidder shall seal the original and all copies of the Bid in two inner envelopes and one outer envelope, duly marking the inner envelopes as “Original” and “Copies”. 20.2 The inner and outer envelopes shall (a) be addressed to the Employer at the address provided in the BDS; (b) bear the name and identification number of the Contract as defined in the BDS and Special Conditions of Contract; and (c) provide a warning not to open before the specified time and date for Bid opening as defined in the BDS. 20.3 In addition to the identification required in ITB Sub-Clause 20.2, the inner envelopes shall indicate the name and address of the Bidder to enable the Bid to be returned unopened in case it is declared late, pursuant to ITB Clause 22. 20.4 If the outer envelope is not sealed and marked as above, the Employer will assume no responsibility for the misplacement or premature opening of the Bid.
21. Deadline for Submission of Bids	21.1 Bids shall be delivered to the Employer at the address specified above no later than the time and date specified in the BDS. 21.2 The Employer may extend the deadline for submission of bids by issuing an amendment in accordance with ITB Clause 11, in which case all rights and obligations of the Employer and the bidders previously subject to the original deadline will then be subject to the new deadline.
22. Late Bids	22.1 Any Bid received by the Employer after the deadline prescribed in ITB Clause 21 will be returned unopened to the Bidder.
23. Modification and Withdrawal of Bids	23.1 Bidders may modify or withdraw their bids by giving notice in writing before the deadline prescribed in ITB Clause 21. 23.2 Each Bidder’s modification or withdrawal notice shall be prepared, sealed, marked, and delivered in accordance with ITB Clauses 19 and 20, with the outer and inner envelopes additionally marked “Modification” or “Withdrawal,” as appropriate. 23.3 No Bid may be modified after the deadline for submission of Bids. 23.4 Withdrawal of a Bid between the deadline for submission of bids and the expiration of the period of Bid validity specified in the BDS or as extended pursuant to ITB Sub-Clause 16.2 may result in the forfeiture of the Bid Security pursuant to ITB Clause 17. 23.5 Bidders may only offer discounts to, or otherwise modify the prices of their bids by submitting Bid modifications in accordance with this clause, or included in the original Bid submission.

E. Bid Opening and Evaluation

24. Bid Opening	24.1 The Employer will open the bids, including modifications made pursuant to ITB Clause 23, in the presence of the bidders’ representatives who choose to attend at the time and in the place specified in the BDS. 24.2 Envelopes marked “Withdrawal” shall be opened and read out first. Bids for which an acceptable notice of withdrawal has been submitted pursuant to ITB Clause 23 shall not be opened. 24.3 The bidders’ names, the Bid prices, the total amount of each Bid and of any alternative Bid (if alternatives have been requested or permitted), any discounts, Bid modifications and withdrawals, the presence or absence of Bid Security, and such other details as the Employer may consider appropriate, will be announced by the Employer at the opening. No bid shall be rejected at bid opening except for the late bids pursuant to ITB Clause 22; Bids, and modifications, sent pursuant to ITB Clause 23 that are not opened and read out at bid opening will not be considered for further evaluation regardless of the circumstances. Late and withdrawn bids will be returned unopened to the bidders. 24.4 The Employer will prepare minutes of the Bid opening, including the information disclosed to those present in accordance with ITB Sub-Clause 24.3.
25. Process to Be Confidential	25.1 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 is notified of the award. Any effort by a Bidder to influence the Employer’s processing of bids or award decisions may result in the rejection of his Bid. 25.2 If, after notification of award, a bidder wishes to ascertain the grounds on which its bid was not selected, it should address its request to the Employer, who will provide written explanation. Any request for explanation from one bidder should relate only to its own bid; information about the bid of competitors will not be addressed.
26. Clarification of Bids	26.1 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of bids, the Employer may, at the Employer’s discretion, ask any Bidder for clarification of the Bidder’s Bid, including breakdowns of the prices in the Activity Schedule, and other information that the Employer may require. The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing or by cable, telex, or facsimile, but no change in the price or substance of the Bid shall be sought, offered, or permitted except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered by the Employer in the evaluation of the bids in accordance with ITB Clause 28. 26.2 Subject to ITB Sub-Clause 26.1, no Bidder shall contact the Employer on any matter relating to its bid from the time of the bid opening to the time the contract is awarded. If the Bidder wishes to bring additional information to the notice of the Employer, he should do so in writing. 26.3 Any effort by the Bidder to influence the Employer in the Employer’s bid evaluation or contract award decisions may result in the rejection of the Bidder’s bid.
27. Examination of Bids and Determination of Responsiveness	27.1 Prior to the detailed evaluation of bids, the Employer will determine whether each Bid (a) meets the eligibility criteria defined in ITB Clause 4; (b) has been properly signed; (c) is accompanied by the required securities; and (d) is substantially responsive to the requirements of the bidding documents. 27.2 A substantially responsive Bid is one which conforms to all the terms, conditions, and 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 Services; (b) which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the bidding documents, the Employer’s rights or the Bidder’s obligations under the Contract; or (c) whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other bidders presenting substantially responsive bids. 27.3 If a Bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the Employer, and may not subsequently be made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the nonconforming deviation or reservation.
28. Correction of Errors	28.1 Bids determined to be substantially responsive will be checked by the Employer for any arithmetic errors. Arithmetical errors will be rectified by the Employer on the following basis: if there is a discrepancy between unit prices 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; 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; if there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words, the amount in words will prevail. 28.2 The amount stated in the Bid will be adjusted by the Employer in accordance with the above procedure for the correction of errors and, with the concurrence of the Bidder, shall be considered as binding upon the Bidder.

6.6 Price Adjustment	6.6.1 Prices shall be adjusted for fluctuations in the cost of inputs only if provided for in the SCC. If so provided, the amounts certified in each payment certificate, after deducting for Advance Payment, shall be adjusted by applying the respective price adjustment factor to the payment amounts due in each currency. A separate formula of the type indicated below applies to each Contract currency: P_c = A_c + B_c Lmc/Loc + C_c Imc/Ioc Where: P_c is the adjustment factor for the portion of the Contract Price payable in a specific currency “c”. A_c , B_c and C_c are coefficients specified in the SCC, representing: A_c the nonadjustable portion; B_c the adjustable portion relative to labor costs and C_c the adjustable portion for other inputs, of the Contract Price payable in that specific currency “c”; and Lmc is the index prevailing at the first day of the month of the corresponding invoice date and Loc is the index prevailing 28 days before Bid opening for labor; both in the specific currency “c”.

Zo is the number of units of currency of the country of the index, equivalent to one unit of the currency payment on the date of the base index, and Zn is the corresponding number of such currency units on the date of the current index. 6.6.2 If the value of the index is changed after it has been used in a calculation, the calculation shall be corrected and an adjustment made in the next payment certificate. The index value shall be deemed to take account of all changes in cost due to fluctuations in costs.
