and in the Bill of Quantities shall conform to the requirements specified below.

item not listed in the priced Bill of Quantities shall be assumed to be not included in the Tender, and
provided that the Tender is determined substantially responsive notwithstanding this omission, the
average price of the item quoted by substantially responsive Tenderers will be added to the Tender

16.3 The price to be quoted in the Form of Tendershall be the total price of the Tender, including any
discounts offered.
16.4 The Tenderer shall quote any discounts and the methodology for their application in the Form of
Tender

Schedule of Adjustment Data and the Procuring Entity may require the Tenderer to justify its proposed
indices and weightings.

(packages), tenderers wishing to offer discounts for the award of more than one Contract shall specify
in their Tender the price reductions applicable to each package, or alternatively, to individual Contracts
within the package.
16.7 All duties, taxes, and other levies payable by the Contractor under the Contract, or for any other cause,
as of the date 30 days prior to the deadline for submission of Tenders, shall be included in the rates
and prices and the total Tender Price submitted by the Tenderer.
17.1 Tenderers shall quote entirely in Kenya Shillings. The unit rates and the prices shall be quoted by the

personnel, schedule and any other information as stipulated in Section IV, Tender Forms, in sufficient
detail to demonstrate the adequacy of the Tenderer's proposal to meet the work's requirements and the
completion time.

perform the Contract the Tenderer shall provide the information requested in the corresponding
information sheets

in joint ventures. Applying for eligibility for Preference and reservations shall supply all information
required to satisfy the criteria for eligibility specified
19.4 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 contractor or group of contractors 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.
19.5 The purpose of the information described in ITT 19.4 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.
19.6 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 6.3. 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.
19.7 All information provided by the tenderer pursuant to these requirements must be complete, current
and accurate as at the date of provision to the Procuring Entity. In submitting the 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.
19.8 If a tenderer fails to submit the information required by these requirements, its tender 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.
19.9 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.
19.10 If a tenderer submits information pursuant to these requirements that is incomplete, 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.
20.2 In exceptional circumstances, prior to the expiration of the Tender validity period, the Procuring
Entity may request Tenderers to extend the period of validity of their Tenders. The request and the
responses shall be made in writing. If a Tender Security is requested in accordance with ITT 21.1, it shall
also be extended for thirty (30) days beyond the deadline of the extended validity period. A Tenderer
may refuse the request without forfeiting its Tender security. A Tenderer granting the request shall not
be required or permitted to modify its Tender.
20.3 If the award is delayed by a period exceeding the number of days to be specified in the TDS days
beyond the expiry of the initial tender validity period, the Contract price shall be determined as
follows:
a) in the case of fixed price contracts, the Contract price shall be the tender price adjusted by the
factor specified in the TDS;
b) in the case of adjustable price contracts, no adjustment shall be made; or in any case, tender
evaluation shall be based on the tender price without taking into consideration the applicable
correction from those indicated above.
21.1 The Tenderer shall furnish as part of its Tender, either a Tender-Securing Declaration or a Tender
Security as specified in the TDS, in original form and, in the case of a Tender Security, in the amount and
currency specified in the TDS. A Tender-Securing Declaration shall use the form included in Section IV,
Tender Forms.
21.2 If a Tender Security is specified pursuant to ITT 19.1, the Tender Security shall be a demand guarantee in
any of the following forms at the Tenderer's option:
a) an unconditional Bank Guarantee issued by reputable commercial bank); or
b) an irrevocable letter of credit;
c) a Banker's cheque issued by a reputable commercial bank; or
d) another security specified in the TDS,
21.3 If an unconditional bank guarantee is issued by a bank located outside Kenya, the issuing bank shall
have a correspondent bank located in Kenya to make it enforceable. The Tender Security shall be valid
for thirty (30) days beyond the original validity period of the Tender, or beyond any period of extension
if requested under ITT 20.2.
21.4 If a Tender Security or Tender-Securing Declaration is specified pursuant to ITT 19.1, any Tender not
accompanied by a substantially responsive Tender Security or Tender-Securing Declaration shall be
rejected by the Procuring Entity as non-responsive.
21.5 If a Tender Security is specified pursuant to ITT 21.1, the Tender Security of unsuccessful Tenderers shall
be returned as promptly as possible upon the successful Tenderer's signing the Contract and furnishing
the Performance Security and any other documents required in the TDS. The Procuring Entity shall also
promptly return the tender security to the tenderers where the procurement proceedings are
terminated, all tenders were determined nonresponsive or a bidder declines to extend tender validity
period.
21.6 The Tender Security of the successful Tenderer shall be returned as promptly as possible once the
successful Tenderer has signed the Contract and furnished the required Performance Security, and any
other documents required in the TDS.
21.7 The Tender Security may be forfeited or the Tender-Securing Declaration executed:
e) if a Tenderer withdraws its Tender during the period of Tender validity specified by the
Tenderer on the Form of Tender, or any extension thereto provided by the Tenderer; or
f) if the successful Tenderer fails to:
i) sign the Contract in accordance with ITT 50; or
ii) furnish a Performance Security and if required in the TDS, and any other documents
required in the TDS.
21.8 Where tender securing declaration is executed, the Procuring Entity shall recommend to the PPRA that
PPRA debars the Tenderer from participating in public procurement as provided in the law.
21.9 The Tender Security or the Tender-Securing Declaration of a JV shall be in the name of the JV that
submits the Tender. If the JV has not been legally constituted into a legally enforceable JV at the time
of tendering, the Tender Security or the Tender-Securing Declaration shall be in the names of all future
members as named in the letter of intent referred to in ITT 4.1 and ITT 11.2.
22.1 The Tenderer shall prepare one original of the documents comprising the Tender as described in ITT
13 and clearly mark it “ORIGINAL.” Alternative Tenders, if permitted in accordance with ITT 15, shall

their business. This may include proprietary information, trade secrets, or commercial or financially
sensitive information.
22.3 The original and all copies of the Tender shall be typed or written in indelible ink and shall be signed
by a person duly authorized to sign on behalf of the Tenderer. This authorization shall consist of a
written confirmation as specified in the TDS and shall be attached to the Tender. The name and
position held by each person signing the authorization must be typed or printed below the signature.
All pages of the Tender where entries or amendments have been made shall be signed or initialed by
the person signing the Tender.
22.4 In case the Tenderer is a JV, the Tender shall be signed by an authorized representative of the JV on
behalf of the JV, and to be legally binding on all the members as evidenced by a power of attorney
signed by their legally authorized representatives.
22.5 Any inter-lineation, erasures, or overwriting shall be valid only if they are signed or initialed by the
person signing the Tender.
23.1 Depending on the sizes or quantities or weight of the tender documents, a tenderer may use an envelope,
package or container. The Tenderer shall deliver the Tender in a single sealed envelope, or in a single
sealed package, or in a single sealed container bearing the name and Reference number of the Tender,
addressed to the Procuring Entity and a warning not to open before the time and date for Tender
opening date. Within the single envelope, package or container, the Tenderer shall place the following
separate, sealed envelopes:
23.2 If an envelope or package or container is not sealed and marked as required, the Procuring Entity will
assume no responsibility for the misplacement or premature opening of the Tender. Tenders that are
misplaced or opened prematurely will not be accepted.
24.1 Tenders must be received by the Procuring Entity at the address specified in the TDS and no later than
the date and time also specified in the TDS. When so specified in the TDS, Tenderers shall have the option
of submitting their Tenders electronically. Tenderers submitting Tenders electronically shall follow the
electronic Tender submission procedures specified in the TDS.
24.2 The Procuring Entity may, at its discretion, extend the deadline for the submission of Tenders by
amending the Tender Documents in accordance with ITT 8, in which case all rights and obligations of the
Procuring Entity and Tenderers previously subject to the deadline shall thereafter be subject to the
deadline as extended.
25.1 The Procuring Entity shall not consider any Tender that arrives after the deadline for submission of
tenders, in accordance with ITT 24. Any Tender received by the Procuring Entity after the deadline for
submission of Tenders shall be declared late, rejected, and returned unopened to the Tenderer.
27.1 Except in the cases specified in ITT 23 and ITT 26.2, the Procuring Entity shall publicly open and read
out all Tenders received by the deadline, at the date, time and place specified in the TDS, in the presence
of Tenderers' designated representatives who chooses to attend. Any specific electronic Tender opening
procedures required if electronic Tendering is permitted in accordance with ITT 24.1, shall be as specified
in the TDS.
27.2 First, envelopes marked “WITHDRAWAL” shall be opened and read out and the envelopes with the
corresponding Tender shall not be opened, but returned to the Tenderer. No Tender withdrawal shall
be permitted unless the corresponding withdrawal notice contains a valid authorization to request the
withdrawal and is read out at Tender opening.
27.3 Next, envelopes marked “SUBSTITUTION” shall be opened and read out and exchanged with the
corresponding Tender being substituted, and the substituted Tender shall not be opened, but returned
to the Tenderer. No Tender substitution shall be permitted unless the corresponding substitution notice
contains a valid authorization to request the substitution and is read out at Tender opening.
27.4 Next, envelopes marked “MODIFICATION” shall be opened and read out with the corresponding

27.5 Next, all remaining envelopes shall be opened one at a time, reading out: the name of the Tenderer
and whether there is a modification; the total Tender Price, per lot (contract) if applicable, including
any discounts and alternative Tenders; the presence or absence of a Tender Security or Tender-
Securing Declaration, if required; and any other details as the Procuring Entity may consider
appropriate.
27.6 Only Tenders, alternative Tenders and discounts that are opened and read out at Tender opening
shall be considered further for evaluation. The Form of Tender and pages of the Bills of Quantities are
to be initialed by the members of the tender opening committee attending the opening. The number
of representatives of the Procuring Entity to sign shall be specified in the TDS.
27.7 At the Tender Opening, the Procuring Entity shall neither discuss the merits of any Tender nor reject
any Tender (except for late Tenders, in accordance with ITT 25.1).
27.8 The Procuring Entity shall prepare minutes of the Tender Opening that shall include, as a minimum:
a) the name of the Tenderer and whether there is a withdrawal, substitution, or modification;
b) the Tender Price, per lot (contract) if applicable, including any discounts;
c) any alternative Tenders;
d) the presence or absence of a Tender Security, if one was required.
e) number of pages of each tender document submitted.
27.9 The Tenderers' representatives who are present shall be requested to sign the minutes. The omission
of a Tenderer's signature on the minutes shall not invalidate the contents and effect of the minutes. A
copy of the tender opening register shall be distributed to all Tenderers upon request.
26. Confidentiality
28.1 Information relating to the evaluation of Tenders and recommendation of contract award shall not be
disclosed to Tenderers or any other persons not officially concerned with the Tender process until
information on Intention to Award the Contract is transmitted to all Tenderers in accordance with ITT
46.
28.2 Any effort by a Tenderer to influence the Procuring Entity in the evaluation of the Tenders or
Contract award decisions may result in the rejection of its tender.
28.3 Notwithstanding ITT 28.2, from the time of tender opening to the time of contract award, if a
tenderer wishes to contact the Procuring Entity on any matter related to the tendering process, it shall do
so in writing.
29.1 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,
given a reasonable time for a response. 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, including any voluntary increase or
decrease, 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 ITT 33.
29.2 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.
31.1 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 13.
31.2 A substantially responsive Tender is one that meets the requirements of the Tender document without
material deviation, reservation, or omission. A material deviation, reservation, or omission is one that, if
accepted, would:
a) affect in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the Works specified in the
Contract; or
b) limit in any substantial way, inconsistent with the tender document, the Procuring Entity's rights
or the tenderer's obligations under the proposed contract; or
c) if rectified, would unfairly affect the competitive position of other tenderers presenting
substantially responsive tenders.
31.3 The Procuring Entity shall examine the technical aspects of the tender submitted in accordance with
ITT 18, to confirm that all requirements of Section VII, Works' Requirements have been met without
any material deviation, reservation or omission.
31.4 If a tender is not substantially responsive to the requirements of the tender 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.
32.1 Provided that a tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity may waive any non-
conformities in the tender.
32.2 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, to rectify nonmaterial
non-conformities in the tender related to documentation requirements. Requesting information or
documentation on such non- conformities shall not be related to any aspect of the price of the tender.
Failure of the tenderer to comply with the request may result in the rejection of its tender.
32.3 Provided that a tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity shall rectify quantifiable
nonmaterial 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.
34.1 Tenders will priced be in Kenya Shillings only. Tenderers quoting in currencies other than in Kenya shillings
will be determined non-responsive and rejected.
36.1 Unless otherwise stated in the TDS, the Procuring Entity does not intend to execute any specific elements
of the Works by subcontractors selected in advance by the Procuring Entity.
36.2 Tenderers may propose subcontracting up to the percentage of the total value of contracts or the
volume of works as specified in the TDS. Subcontractors proposed by the Tenderer shall be fully qualified
for their parts of the Works.
36.3 The subcontractor's qualifications shall not be used by the Tenderer to qualify for the Works unless their
specialized parts of the Works were previously designated by the Procuring Entity in the TDS as can be
met by subcontractors referred to hereafter as 'Specialized Subcontractors', in which case, the qualifications
of the Specialized Subcontractors proposed by the Tenderer may be added to the qualifications of the
Tenderer.
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 in
accordance with ITT 40.
37.2 To evaluate a Tender, the Procuring Entity shall consider the following:
a) price adjustment due to discounts offered
b) converting the amount resulting from applying (a) and (b) above, if relevant, to a single
currency
c) price adjustment due to quantifiable nonmaterial non-conformities and
d) any additional evaluation factors, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
37.3 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 considered in Tender evaluation.
37.4 In the case of multiple contracts or lots, Tenderers shall be allowed to tender for one or more lots and
the methodology to determine the lowest evaluated cost of the lot (contract) combinations, including any
discounts offered in the Form of Tender, is specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
38.1 The Procuring Entity shall compare the evaluated costs of all substantially responsive Tenders
established in accordance with ITT 38.2 to determine the Tender that has the lowest evaluated cost.
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 in regards
to the Tenderer's ability 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 relation
to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed methodology, schedule, allocation of risks and
responsibilities and any other requirements of the Tender 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 perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price,
the Procuring Entity shall reject the Tender.
40.1 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.
40.2 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 work and conditions of contract,
as the case may be.
41.1 If in the Procuring Entity's opinion, the Tender that is evaluated as the lowest evaluated price is
seriously unbalanced and/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 Tender document.
41.2 After the evaluation of the information and detailed price analyses presented by the Tenderer, the
Procuring Entity may as appropriate:
a) accept the Tender; or
b) require that the total amount of the Performance Security be increased at the expense of the
Tenderer to a level not exceeding a 30% of the Contract Price; or
c) agree on a payment mode that eliminates the inherent risk of the Procuring Entity paying too
much for undelivered works; or
d) reject the Tender,
38. Qualifications of the Tenderer
42.1 The Procuring Entity shall determine to its satisfaction whether the eligible Tenderer that is selected as
having submitted the lowest evaluated cost and substantially responsive Tender, meets the qualifying
criteria specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
42.2 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence of the
Tenderer's qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant to ITT 19. 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 Tender
document), or any other firm(s) different from the Tenderer.
42.3 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 price to make a similar determination of that Tenderer's qualifications to perform
satisfactorily.
42.4 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 in
regards to the Tenderer's ability to perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price.
42.5 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 relation
to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed methodology, schedule, allocation of risks and
responsibilities and any other requirements of the Tender document.
42.6 After evaluation of the price analyses, if the Procuring Entity determines that the Tenderer has failed
to demonstrate its capability to perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price, the Procuring Entity
shall reject the Tender.
43.1 Having compared the evaluated prices of Tenders, the Procuring Entity shall determine the Best
Evaluated Tender. The Best Evaluated Tender is the Tender of the Tenderer that meets the Qualification
Criteria and whose Tender has been determined to be:
a) Most responsive to the Tender document; and
b) the lowest evaluated price.
40. Procuring Entity's Right to Accept Any Tender, and to Reject Any or All Tenders.
44.1 The Procuring Entity reserves the right to accept or reject any Tender and to annul the Tender process
and reject all Tenders at any time prior to Contract Award, without thereby incurring any liability to
Tenderers. In case of annulment, all Tenderers shall be notified with reasons and all Tenders submitted
and specifically, Tender securities, shall be promptly returned to the Tenderers.
F. Award of Contract
45.1 The Procuring Entity shall award the Contract to the successful tenderer whose tender has been
determined to be the Lowest Evaluated Tender.

e) instructions on how to request a debriefing and/or submit a complaint during the standstill period;
47.1 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.
47.2 Where a Standstill Period applies, it shall commence when the Procuring Entity has transmitted to
each Tenderer the Notification of Intention to Enter into a Contract with the successful Tenderer.
48.1 On receipt of the Procuring Entity's Notification of Intention to Enter into a Contract referred to in ITT
46, 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.
48.2 Debriefings of unsuccessful Tenderers may be done in writing or verbally. The Tenderer shall bear its
own costs of attending such a debriefing meeting.
49.1 Prior to the expiry of the Tender Validity Period and upon expiry of the Standstill Period specified in ITT
42.1, 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 21days of the date of the letter.

TDS, in accordance with the General Conditions of Contract, subject to ITT 40.2 (b), using the
Performance Security and other Forms included in Section X, Contract Forms, or another form
acceptable to the Procuring Entity. A foreign institution providing a bank guarantee shall have a
correspondent financial institution located in Kenya, unless the Procuring Entity has agreed in writing
that a correspondent bank is not required.
52.2 Failure of the successful Tenderer to submit the above-mentioned Performance Security and other
documents required in the TDS, or sign the Contract shall constitute sufficient grounds for the
annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Tender Security. In that event the Procuring Entity may
award the Contract to the Tenderer offering the next Best Evaluated Tender.
52.3 Performance security shall not be required for contracts estimated to cost less than Kenya shillings five
million shillings.

1. General Provisions
Wherever a Tenderer is required to state a monetary amount, Tenderers should indicate the Kenya
Shilling equivalent using the rate of exchange determined as follows:
a) For construction turnover or financial data required for each year - Exchange rate prevailing on the
last day of the respective calendar year (in which the amounts for that year is to be converted)
was originally established.
b) Value of single contract - Exchange rate prevailing on the date of the contract signature.
c) Exchange rates shall be taken from the publicly available source identified in the ITT 14.3. Any
error in determining the exchange rates in the Tender may be corrected by the Procuring Entity.
This section contains the criteria that the Employer shall use to evaluate tender and qualify tenderers.
No other factors, methods or criteria shall be used other than specified in this tender document. The
Tenderer shall provide all the information requested in the forms included in Section IV, Tendering
Forms. The Procuring Entity should use the Standard Tender Evaluation Document for Goods and Works
for evaluating Tenders.
The Procuring Entity shall use the criteria and methodologies listed in this Section to evaluate tenders
and arrive at the Lowest Evaluated Tender. The tender that (i) meets the qualification criteria, (ii) has
been determined to be substantially responsive to the Tender Documents, and (iii) is determined to
have the Lowest Evaluated Tender price shall be selected for award of contract.
The Procuring Entity will start by examining all tenders to ensure they meet in all respects the eligibility
criteria and other requirements in the ITT, and that the tender is complete in all aspects in meeting the
requirements of “Part 2 – Procuring Entity's Works Requirements”, including checking for tenders with
unacceptable errors, abnormally low tenders, abnormally high tenders and tenders that are front
loaded. The Standard Tender Evaluation Report Document for Goods and Works for evaluating
Tenders provides very clear guide on how to deal with review of these requirements. Tenders that do
not pass the Preliminary Examination will be considered irresponsive and will not be considered further.
3. Alternative Tenders
The Procuring Entity shall consider Tenders offered for alternatives as specified. Only the technical
alternatives, if any, of the Tenderer with the Best Evaluated Tender conforming to the basic technical
requirements shall be considered by the Procuring Entity.

1. Purpose
2. The Government of Kenya's Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime laws and their sanction's policies
and procedures, Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (no. 33 of 2015) and its Regulation, and
any other Kenya's Acts or Regulations related to Fraud and Corruption, and similar offences, shall
apply with respect to Public Procurement Processes and Contracts that are governed by the laws of
Kenya.
3. Requirements
The Government of Kenya requires that all parties including Procuring Entities, Tenderers,
(applicants/proposers), Consultants, Contractors and Suppliers; any Sub-contractors, Sub-consultants,
Service providers or Suppliers; any Agents (whether declared or not); and any of their Personnel,
involved and engaged in procurement under Kenya's Laws and Regulation, observe the highest
standard of ethics during the procurement process, selection and contract execution of all contracts,
and refrain from Fraud and Corruption and fully comply with Kenya's laws and Regulations as per
paragraphs 1.1 above.
Kenya's public procurement and asset disposal act (no. 33 of 2015) under Section 66 describes rules to
be followed and actions to be taken in dealing with Corrupt, Coercive, Obstructive, Collusive or
Fraudulent practices, and Conflicts of Interest in procurement including consequences for offences
committed. A few of the provisions noted below highlight Kenya's policy of no tolerance for such practices
and behavior: -
1) a person to whom this Act applies shall not be involved in any corrupt, coercive, obstructive,
collusive or fraudulent practice; or conflicts of interest in any procurement or asset disposal
proceeding;
2) A person referred to under subsection (1) who contravenes the provisions of that sub-section
commits an offence;
3) Without limiting the generality of the subsection (1) and (2), the person shall be: -
a) disqualified from entering into a contract for a procurement or asset disposal proceeding; or
b) if a contract has already been entered into with the person, the contract shall be voidable;
4) The voiding of a contract by the procuring entity under subsection (7) does not limit any legal
remedy the procuring entity may have;

procuring entity who has a conflict of interest with respect to a procurement: -
a) shall not take part in the procurement proceedings;
b) shall not, after a procurement contract has been entered into, take part in any decision
relating to the procurement or contract; and
c) shall not be a subcontractor for the bidder to whom was awarded contract, or a member of the
group of bidders to whom the contract was awarded, but the subcontractor appointed shall meet
all the requirements of this Act.
6) An employee, agent or member described in subsection (1) who refrains from doing anything
prohibited under that subsection, but for that subsection, would have been within his or her
duties shall disclose the conflict of interest to the procuring entity;
7) If a person contravenes subsection (1) with respect to a conflict of interest described in subsection
(5)(a) and the contract is awarded to the person or his relative or to another person in whom
one of them had a direct or indirect pecuniary interest, the contract shall be terminated and all
costs incurred by the public entity shall be made good by the awarding officer. Etc.

investigation or making false statements to investigators in order to materially impede
investigation by Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) or any other
appropriate authority appointed by Government of Kenya 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
• acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the PPRA's or the appointed
authority's inspection and audit rights provided for under paragraph 2.3 e. below.
b) Defines more specifically, in accordance with the above procurement Act provisions set forth for
fraudulent and collusive practices as follows:
c) Rejects a proposal for award1 of a contract if PPRA determines that the firm or individual
recommended for award, any of its personnel, or its agents, or its sub-consultants, sub-

Declaration.
2. I/We accept that I/we will automatically be suspended from being eligible for tendering in any contract

been notified of the acceptance of our Bid by the Purchaser during the period of bid validity, (i) fail or
refuse to execute the Contract, if required, or (ii) fail or refuse to furnish the Performance Security, in
accordance with the instructions to tenders.
3. I/We understand that this Tender Securing Declaration shall expire if we are not the successful

named in the letter of intent.
SECTION VI - SPECIFICATIONS
1. Specifications must be drafted to present a clear and precise statement of the required standards of
materials, and workmanship for tenderers to respond realistically and competitively to the requirements
of the Procuring Entity and ensure responsiveness of tenders. The Specifications should require that all
materials, plant, and other supplies to be permanently incorporated in the Works be new, unused, of
the most recent or current models, and incorporating all recent improvements in design and materials
unless provided otherwise in the Contract. Where the Contractor is responsible for the design of any
part of the permanent Works, the extent of his obligations must be stated.
2. Specifications from previous similar projects are useful and may not be necessary to re-write
specifications for every Works Contract.
3. There are considerable advantages in standardizing General Specifications for repetitive Works in
recognized public sectors, such as highways, urban housing, irrigation and water supply. The General
Specifications should cover all classes of workmanship, materials and equipment commonly involved
in constructions, although not necessarily to be used in a particular works contract. Deletions or
addenda should then adapt the General Specifications to the particular Works.
4. Care must be taken in drafting Specifications to ensure they are not restrictive. In the Specifications of
standards for materials, plant and workmanship, existing Kenya Standards should be used as much as
possible, otherwise recognized international standards may also be used.
5. The Procuring Entity should decide whether technical solutions to specified parts of the Works are to
be permitted. Alternatives are appropriate in cases where obvious (and potentially less costly)
alternatives are possible to the technical solutions indicated in tender documents for certain elements
of the Works, taking into consideration the comparative specialized advantage of potential tenderers.
6. The Procuring Entity should provide a description of the selected parts of the Works with appropriate
reference to Drawings, Specifications, Bills of Quantities, and Design or Performance criteria, stating
that the alternative solutions shall be at least structurally and functionally equivalent to the basic
design parameters and Specifications.
7. Such alternative solutions shall be accompanied by all information necessary for a complete
evaluation by the Procuring Entity, including drawings, design calculations, technical specifications,
breakdown of prices, proposed construction methodology, and other relevant details. Technical
alternatives permitted in this manner shall be considered by the Procuring Entity each on its own merits
and independently of whether the tenderer has priced the item as described in the Procuring Entity's
design included with the tender documents.

meaning stated in Section A item A7 (i) of the Standard Method of Measurement.
Such sums are net and no addition shall be made to them for profit.
In the final account all Provisional Sums shall be deducted and the value of the work -- --
properly executed in respect of them upon the Project Manager's order added to the
Contract Sum. Such work shall be valued, but should any part of the work be executed
by a Nominated Sub-Contractor, the value of such work or articles for the work to be
supplied by a Nominated Supplier, the value of such work or articles shall be treated
as a P.C. Sum and profit and attendance comparable to that contained in the priced
Bills of Quantities for similar items added.
The term "Prime Cost Sum" or "P.C. Sum" wherever used in these Bills of Quantities -- --
shall have the meaning stated in Section A item A7 (ii) of the Standard Method of

work executed (not pro-rata to the amount paid) and this shall apply even though the
Contractor's priced Bill shows a percentage in the rate column in respect of them.
Should the Contractor be permitted to tender and his tender be accepted of any work
for which a P.C. Sum is included in these Bill of Quantities profit and attendance will
be allowed at the same rate as it would be if the work were executed by a Nominated
Sub-Contractor.

in these Preliminaries. The Contractor should price for these with the nominated Sub-
contract Contractor's work concerned in the P.C. Sums under the description "add for
Attendance".
C DIRECT CONTRACTS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions, the Government reserves the right to place -- --
a "Direct Contract" for any goods or services required in the works which are covered
by a P.C. Sum in the Bills of Quantities and to pay for the same direct. In any such
instances, profit relative to the P.C. Sum the priced Bills of Quantities will be adjusted
as described for P.C. Sums and allowed.

SUMMARY
BILL NO;03
PC AND PROVISIONAL SUMS
A Allow a provisional sum of Kenyan shillings Four hundred and fifty thousand 450,000 00
only (450,000/=) for bills of quantities, structural and architectural drawings.
B Allow a provisional sum of Kenyan shillings Six hundred and fifty thousand 650,000 00
only (650,000/=) for firefighting equipment and lightening arrester.
C Allow a provisional sum of Kenyan shillings Nine hundred and forty thousand 940,000 00
only (940,000/=) for contingencies and overhead.
550,000
D Allow a provisional sum of Kenyan shillings Five hundred and fifty thousand 00
only (550,000/=) for administration and supervision.
A Day work Schedule should be included only if the probability of unforeseen work, outside the items
included in the Bill of Quantities, is high. To facilitate checking by the Procuring Entity of the realism of
rates quoted by the Tenderers, the Day work Schedule should normally comprise the following:
a) A list of the various classes of labor, materials, and Constructional Plant for which basic day work
rates or prices are to be inserted by the Tenderer, together with a statement of the conditions
under which the Contractor shall be paid for work executed on a day work basis.
b) Nominal quantities for each item of day work, to be priced by each Tenderer at day work rates
as Tender. The rate to be entered by the Tenderer against each basic day work item should
include the Contractor's profit, overheads, supervision, and other charges.
3. Provisional Sums
A general provision for physical contingencies (quantity overruns) may be made by including a
provisional sum in the Summary Bill of Quantities. Similarly, a contingency allowance for possible
price increases should be provided as a provisional sum in the Summary priced Bill of Quantities. The
inclusion of such provisional sums often facilitates budgetary approval by avoiding the need to request
periodic supplementary approvals as the future need arises. Where such provisional sums or
contingency allowances are used, the Special Conditions of Contract should state the manner in which
they shall be used, and under whose authority (usually the Project Manager's).
The Bills of Quantities should be divided generally into the following sections:
a) Preambles
b) Preliminary items
c) Work Items
c) Daywork Schedule; and
d) Provisional items
e) Summary.
5. The Summary to the Bills of Quantities will take this form or some other form but including these items.
These General Conditions of Contract (GCC), read in conjunction with the Special Conditions of Contract
(SCC) and other documents listed therein, should be a complete document expressing fairly the rights and
obligations of both parties.
These General Conditions of Contract have been developed on the basis of considerable international
experience in the drafting and management of contracts, bearing in mind a trend in the construction
industry towards simpler, more straightforward language.
The GCC can be used for both smaller admeasurement contracts and lump sum contracts.

disagreement between the Procuring Entity and the Contractor, within 30 days, the Adjudicator
shall be designated by the Appointing Authority designated in the SCC at the request of either party,
within 14 days of receipt of such request.
24.1.2 If the Contractor fails to give notice of a claim within such period of 30 days, the Time for

further contemporary records. The Contractor shall permit the Project Manager to inspect all
these records, and shall (if instructed) submit copies to the Project Manager.
24.1.5 Within 42 days after the Contractor became aware (or should have become aware) of the
event or circumstance giving rise to the claim, or within such other period as may be proposed
by the Contractor and approved by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall send to the
Project Manager a fully detailed claim which includes full supporting particulars of the basis of
the claim and of the extension of time and/or additional payment claimed. If the event or
circumstance giving rise to the claim has a continuing effect:

previous claim, or within such other period as may be proposed by the Project Manager and
approved by the Contractor, the Project Manager shall respond with approval, or with
disapproval and detailed comments. He may also request any necessary further particulars, but

period.
24.1.7 Within the above defined period of 42 days, the Project Manager shall proceed in accordance
with Sub-Clause

(before or after its expiry) in accordance with Sub-Clause 8.4 [Extension of Time for
Completion], and/or (ii) the additional payment (if any) to which the Contractor is entitled
under the Contract.
24.1.9 Each Payment Certificate shall include such additional payment for any claim as has been
reasonably substantiated as due under the relevant provision of the Contract. Unless and until
the particulars supplied are sufficient to substantiate the whole of the claim, the Contractor shall
only be entitled to payment for such part of the claim as he has been able to substantiate.
24.1.10 If the Project Manager does not respond within the timeframe defined in this Clause, either
Party may consider that the claim is rejected by the Project Manager and any of the Parties may
refer to Arbitration in accordance with Sub-Clause 24.4 [Arbitration].
24.1.11 The requirements of this Sub-Clause are in addition to those of any other Sub-Clause which
may apply to a claim. If the Contractor fails to comply with this or another Sub-Clause in
relation to any claim, any extension of time and/or additional payment shall take account of
the extent (if any) to which the failure has prevented or prejudiced proper investigation of the
claim, unless the claim is excluded under the second paragraph of this Sub-Clause 24.3.
a) The appointment of a replacement Project Manager upon the said person ceasing to act.
b) Whether or not the issue of an instruction by the Project Manager is empowered by these
Conditions.

24.4.1 Any claim or dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with the Contract not settled
amicably in accordance with Sub-Clause 24.3 shall be finally settled by arbitration.
24.4.2No arbitration proceedings shall be commenced on any claim or dispute where notice of a claim or
dispute has not been given by the applying party within ninety days of the occurrence or discovery
of the matter or issue giving rise to the dispute.
24.4.3Notwithstanding the issue of a notice as stated above, the arbitration of such a claim or dispute
shall not commence unless an attempt has in the first instance been made by the parties to settle
such claim or dispute amicably with or without the assistance of third parties. Proof of such attempt
shall be required.
24.4.4The Arbitrator shall, without prejudice to the generality of his powers, have powers to direct such
measurements, computations, tests or valuations as may in his opinion be desirable in order to
determine the rights of the parties and assess and award any sums which ought to have been the
subject of or included in any certificate.
24.4.5The Arbitrator shall, without prejudice to the generality of his powers, have powers to open up,
review and revise any certificate, opinion, decision, requirement or notice and to determine all
matters in dispute which shall be submitted to him in the same manner as if no such certificate,
opinion, decision requirement or notice had been given.
24.4.6The arbitrators shall have full power to open up, review and revise any certificate, determination,
instruction, opinion or valuation of the Project Manager, relevant to the dispute. Nothing shall
disqualify representatives of the Parties and the Project Manager from being called as a witness and
giving evidence before the arbitrators on any matter whatsoever relevant to the dispute.
24.4.7Neither Party shall be limited in the proceedings before the arbitrators to the evidence, or to the
reasons for dissatisfaction given in its Notice of Dissatisfaction.
24.4.8Arbitration may be commenced prior to or after completion of the Works. The obligations of the
Parties, and the Project Manager shall not be altered by reason of any arbitration being conducted
during the progress of the Works.
24.4.9The terms of the remuneration of each or all the members of Arbitration shall be mutually agreed
upon by the Parties when agreeing the terms of appointment. Each Party shall be responsible for
paying one-half of this remuneration.
24.5.2The institution written to first by the aggrieved party shall take precedence over all other institutions.
24.7.2 In the event that a Party fails to comply with a final and binding Arbitrator's decision, then the
other Party may, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, refer the matter to a competent
court of law.
25.1 The Government requires compliance with the country's Anti-Corruption laws and its prevailing
sanctions policies and procedures as set forth in the Constitution of Kenya and its Statutes.
25.2 The Procuring Entity requires the Contractor to disclose any commissions or fees that may have
been paid or are to be paid to agents or any other party with respect to the bidding process or
execution of the Contract. The information disclosed must include at least the name and address of
the agent or other party, the amount and currency, and the purpose of the commission, gratuity or
fee.
B. Time Control
26. Program
26.1 Within the time stated in the SCC, after the date of the Letter of Acceptance, the Contractor shall
submit to the Project Manager for approval a Program showing the general methods,
arrangements, order, and timing for all the activities in the Works. In the case of a lump sum
contract, the activities in the Program shall be consistent with those in the Activity Schedule.
26.2 An update of the Program shall be a program showing the actual progress achieved on each
activity and the effect of the progress achieved on the timing of the remaining work, including any
changes to the sequence of the activities.
26.3 The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager for approval an updated Program at intervals
no longer than the period stated in the SCC. If the Contractor does not submit an updated
Program within this period, the Project Manager may withhold the amount stated in the SCC from
the next payment certificate and continue to withhold this amount until the next payment after the
date on which the overdue Program has been submitted. In the case of a lump sum contract, the
Contractor shall provide an updated Activity Schedule within 14 days of being instructed to by the
Project Manager.
26.4 The Project Manager's approval of the Program shall not alter the Contractor's obligations. The
Contractor may revise the Program and submit it to the Project Manager again at any time. A
revised Program shall show the effect of Variations and Compensation Events.
27.1 The Project Manager shall extend the Intended Completion Date if a Compensation Event occurs
or a Variation is issued which makes it impossible for Completion to be achieved by the Intended
Completion Date without the Contractor taking steps to accelerate the remaining work, which
would cause the Contractor to incur additional cost.
27.2 The Project Manager shall decide whether and by how much to extend the Intended Completion
Date within 21 days of the Contractor asking the Project Manager for a decision upon the effect of
a Compensation Event or Variation and submitting full supporting information. If the Contractor
has failed to give early warning of a delay or has failed to cooperate in dealing with a delay, the
delay by this failure shall not be considered in assessing the new Intended Completion Date.
28. Acceleration
28.1 When the Procuring Entity wants the Contractor to finish before the Intended Completion Date,
the Project Manager shall obtain priced proposals for achieving the necessary acceleration from the
Contractor. If the Procuring Entity accepts these proposals, the Intended Completion Date shall be
adjusted accordingly and confirmed by both the Procuring Entity and the Contractor.
28.2 If the Contractor's priced proposals for an acceleration are accepted by the Procuring Entity, they
are incorporated in the Contract Price and treated as a Variation.
29.1 The Project Manager may instruct the Contractor to delay the start or progress of any activity within
the Works.
30. Management Meetings
30.1 Either the Project Manager or the Contractor may require the other to attend a management
meeting. The business of a management meeting shall be to review the plans for remaining work
and to deal with matters raised in accordance with the early warning procedure.
30.2 The Project Manager shall record the business of management meetings and provide copies of the
record to those attending the meeting and to the Procuring Entity. The responsibility of the parties
for actions to be taken shall be decided by the Project Manager either at the management meeting
or after the management meeting and stated in writing to all who attended the meeting.
31.1 The Contractor shall warn the Project Manager at the earliest opportunity of specific likely future
events or circumstances that may adversely affect the quality of the work, increase the Contract
Price, or delay the execution of the Works. The Project Manager may require the Contractor to
provide an estimate of the expected effect of the future event or circumstance on the Contract
Price and Completion Date. The estimate shall be provided by the Contractor as soon as
reasonably possible.
31.2 The Contractor shall cooperate with the Project Manager in making and considering proposals for
how the effect of such an event or circumstance can be avoided or reduced by anyone involved in
the work and in carrying out any resulting instruction of the Project Manager.
C. Quality Control
32.1 The Project Manager shall check the Contractor's work and notify the Contractor of any Defects
that are found. Such checking shall not affect the Contractor's responsibilities. The Project Manager
may instruct the Contractor to search for a Defect and to uncover and test any work that the
Project Manager considers may have a Defect.
33. Tests
33.1 If the Project Manager instructs the Contractor to carry out a test not specified in the Specification
to check whether any work has a Defect and the test shows that it does, the Contractor shall pay for
the test and any samples. If there is no Defect, the test shall be a Compensation Event.
34.1 The Project Manager shall give notice to the Contractor of any Defects before the end of the
Defects Liability Period, which begins at Completion, and is defined in the SCC. The Defects
Liability Period shall be extended for as long as Defects remain to be corrected.
34.2 Every time notice of a Defect is given, the Contractor shall correct the notified Defect within the
length of time specified by the Project Manager's notice.
35.1 If the Contractor has not corrected a Defect within the time specified in the Project Manager's notice,
the Project Manager shall assess the cost of having the Defect corrected, and the Contractor shall pay
this amount.
D. Cost Control
7
36. Contract Price
36.1 The Bill of Quantities shall contain priced items for the Works to be performed by the Contractor.
The Bill of Quantities is used to calculate the Contract Price. The Contractor will be paid for the
quantity of the work accomplished at the rate in the Bill of Quantities for each item.
8
37. Changes in the Contract Price
37.1 If the final quantity of the work done differs from the quantity in the Bill of Quantities for the
particular item by more than 25 percent, provided the change exceeds 1 percent of the Initial
Contract Price, the Project Manager shall adjust the rate to allow for the change. The Project
Manager shall not adjust rates from changes in quantities if thereby the Initial Contract Price is
exceeded by more than 15 percent, except with the prior approval of the Procuring Entity.
37.2 If requested by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with a
detailed cost breakdown of any rate in the Bill of Quantities.
38. Variations
38.1 All Variations shall be included in updated Programs9 produced by the Contractor.
38.2 The Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with a quotation for carrying out the Variation
when requested to do so by the Project Manager. The Project Manager shall assess the quotation,
which shall be given within seven (7) days of the request or within any longer period stated by the
Project Manager and before the Variation is ordered.
38.3 If the Contractor's quotation is unreasonable, the Project Manager may order the Variation and
make a change to the Contract Price, which shall be based on the Project Manager's own forecast
of the effects of the Variation on the Contractor's costs.
38.4 If the Project Manager decides that the urgency of varying the work would prevent a quotation
being given and considered without delaying the work, no quotation shall be given and the
Variation shall be treated as a Compensation Event.
38.5 The Contractor shall not be entitled to additional payment for costs that could have been avoided
by giving early warning
38.6 If the work in the Variation corresponds to an item description in the Bill of Quantities and if, in
the opinion of the Project Manager, the quantity of work above the limit stated in Sub-Clause 39.1
or the timing of its execution do not cause the cost per unit of quantity to change, the rate in the
Bill of Quantities shall be used to calculate the value of the Variation. If the cost per unit of
quantity changes, or if the nature or timing of the work in the Variation does not correspond with
items in the Bill of Quantities, the quotation by the Contractor shall be in the form of new rates for
the relevant items of work
38.7 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.
38.8 The Procuring Entity may accept the value engineering proposal if the proposal demonstrates
benefits that:
a) accelerate the contract completion period; or
b) reduce the Contract Price or the life cycle costs to the Procuring Entity; or
c) improve the quality, efficiency, safety or sustainability of the Facilities; or
d) yield any other benefits to the Procuring Entity, without compromising the functionality of the
Works.
38.9 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.
40.1 The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager monthly statements of the estimated value of
the work executed less the cumulative amount certified previously.
40.2 The Project Manager shall check the Contractor's monthly statement and certify the amount to be
paid to the Contractor.
40.3 The value of work executed shall be determined by the Project Manager.
40.4 The value of work executed shall comprise the value of the quantities of work in the Bill of
Quantities that have been completed12.
40.5 The value of work executed shall include the valuation of Variations and Compensation Events.
40.6 The Project Manager may exclude any item certified in a previous certificate or reduce the
proportion of any item previously certified in any certificate in the light of later information.
40.7 Where the contract price is different from the corrected tender price, in order to ensure the
contractor is not paid less or more relative to the contract price (which would be the tender price),
payment valuation certificates and variation orders on omissions and additions valued based on
rates in the Bill of Quantities or schedule of rates in the Tender, will be adjusted by a plus or minus
percentage. The percentage already worked out during tender evaluation is worked out as follows:
(corrected tender price – tender price)/tender price X 100.
41. Payments
41.1 Payments shall be adjusted for deductions for advance payments and retention. The Procuring
Entity shall pay the Contractor the amounts certified by the Project Manager within 30 days of the
date of each certificate. If the Procuring Entity makes a late payment, the Contractor shall be paid
interest on the late payment in the next payment. Interest shall be calculated from the date by
which the payment should have been made up to the date when the late payment is made at the
prevailing rate of interest for commercial borrowing for each of the currencies in which payments
are made.
41.2 If an amount certified is increased in a later certificate or as a result of an award by the Adjudicator
or an Arbitrator, the Contractor shall be paid interest upon the delayed payment as set out in this
clause. Interest shall be calculated from the date upon which the increased amount would have
been certified in the absence of dispute.
41.3 Unless otherwise stated, all payments and deductions shall be paid or charged in the proportions of
currencies comprising the Contract Price.
41.4 Items of the Works for which no rate or price has been entered in shall not be paid for by the
Procuring Entity and shall be deemed covered by other rates and prices in the Contract.
42.2 If a Compensation Event would cause additional cost or would prevent the work being completed
before the Intended Completion Date, the Contract Price shall be increased and/or the Intended
Completion Date shall be extended. The Project Manager shall decide whether and by how much
the Contract Price shall be increased and whether and by how much the Intended Completion
Date shall be extended.
42.3 As soon as information demonstrating the effect of each Compensation Event upon the
Contractor's forecast cost has been provided by the Contractor, it shall be assessed by the Project
Manager, and the Contract Price shall be adjusted accordingly. If the Contractor's forecast is
deemed unreasonable, the Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price based on the Project
Manager's own forecast. The Project Manager shall assume that the Contractor shall react
competently and promptly to the event.
42.4 The Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation to the extent that the Procuring Entity's
interests are adversely affected by the Contractor's not having given early warning or not having
cooperated with the Project Manager.
43. Tax
43.1 The Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price if taxes, duties, and other levies are changed
between the date 30 days before the submission of bids for the Contract and the date of the last
Completion certificate. The adjustment shall be the change in the amount of tax payable by the
Contractor, provided such changes are not already reflected in the Contract Price or are a result of
GCC Clause 44.

45. Retention
45.1 The Procuring Entity shall retain from each payment due to the Contractor the proportion stated in
the SCC until Completion of the whole of the Works.

Defects Liability Period has passed and the Project Manager has certified that all Defects notified by
the Project Manager to the Contractor before the end of this period have been corrected. The
Contractor may substitute retention money with an “on demand” Bank guarantee.
46. Liquidated Damages
46.1 The Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Procuring Entity at the rate per day stated in
the SCC for each day that the Completion Date is later than the Intended Completion Date. The
total amount of liquidated damages shall not exceed the amount defined in the SCC. The Procuring
Entity may deduct liquidated damages from payments due to the Contractor. Payment of
liquidated damages shall not affect the Contractor's liabilities.
46.2 If the Intended Completion Date is extended after liquidated damages have been paid, the Project
Manager shall correct any overpayment of liquidated damages by the Contractor by adjusting the
next payment certificate. The Contractor shall be paid interest on the overpayment, calculated
from the date of payment to the date of repayment, at the rates specified in GCC Sub-Clause 41.1.
47. Bonus
47.1 The Contractor shall be paid a Bonus calculated at the rate per calendar day stated in the SCC for each
day (less any days for which the Contractor is paid for acceleration) that the Completion is earlier
than the Intended Completion Date. The Project Manager shall certify that the Works are complete,
although they may not be due to be complete.
48. Advance Payment
48.1 The Procuring Entity shall make advance payment to the Contractor of the amounts stated in the
SCC by the date stated in the SCC, against provision by the Contractor of an Unconditional Bank
Guarantee in a form and by a bank acceptable to the Procuring Entity in amounts and currencies
equal to the advance payment. The Guarantee shall remain effective until the advance payment
has been repaid, but the amount of the Guarantee shall be progressively reduced by the amounts
repaid by the Contractor. Interest shall not be charged on the advance payment.
48.2 The Contractor is to use the advance payment only to pay for Equipment, Plant, Materials, and
mobilization expenses required specifically for execution of the Contract. The Contractor shall
demonstrate that advance payment has been used in this way by supplying copies of invoices or other
documents to the Project Manager.
48.3 The advance payment shall be repaid by deducting proportionate amounts from payments
otherwise due to the Contractor, following the schedule of completed percentages of the Works on
a payment basis. No account shall be taken of the advance payment or its repayment in assessing
c c
49. Securities
49.1 The Performance Security shall be provided to the Procuring Entity no later than the date specified in
the Letter of Acceptance and shall be issued in an amount specified in the SCC, by a bank or surety
acceptable to the Procuring Entity, and denominated in the types and proportions of the currencies
in which the Contract Price is payable. The Performance Security shall be valid until a date 28 day
from the date of issue of the Certificate of Completion in the case of a Bank Guarantee, and until one
year from the date of issue of the Completion Certificate in the case of a Performance Bond.
50. Dayworks
50.1 If applicable, the Dayworks rates in the Contractor's Bid shall be used only when the Project
Manager has given written instructions in advance for additional work to be paid for in that way.
50.2 All work to be paid for as Dayworks shall be recorded by the Contractor on forms approved by
the Project Manager. Each completed form shall be verified and signed by the Project Manager
within two days of the work being done.

pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 56.1, or they do not receive the Project Manager's approval, the
Project Manager shall withhold the amount stated in the SCC from payments due to the Contractor.

fundamental breach of the Contract.

Contract, then the Procuring Entity may, after giving fourteen (14) days written notice to the
Contractor, terminate the Contract and expel him from the Site.
56.3 Notwithstanding the above, the Procuring Entity may terminate the Contract for convenience.
56.4 If the Contract is terminated, the Contractor shall stop work immediately, make the Site safe and
