at the time, on the date, and at the place specified in the Bid Data Sheet. The bidders’

clarification of its bid. The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing, and no

20.1 IMOPETRO will examine the bids to determine whether they are complete, whether any
computational errors have been made, whether required sureties have been furnished, whether
the documents have been properly signed, and whether the bids are generally in order.
20.2 Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis. If there is a discrepancy between
the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying unit price and quantity, the unit
price shall prevail, and the total price shall be corrected. If the Seller does not accept the
correction of the errors, its bid will be rejected, and its bid security may be forfeited. If there is
a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail.
20.3 IMOPETRO may waive any minor informality, nonconformity, or irregularity in a bid which
does not constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the
relative ranking of any Bidder.
20.4 Prior to the detailed evaluation, pursuant to ITB Clause 21, IMOPETRO will determine the
substantial responsiveness of each bid to the bidding documents. For purposes of these Clauses,
a substantially responsive bid is one which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the
bidding documents without material deviations. Deviations from, or objections or reservations
to critical provisions, such as those concerning Bid Security (ITB Clause 11), Applicable Law
(CC Clause 19), and taxes and Duties (CC Clause 12), specifications (CC) will be deemed to
be a material deviation. IMOPETRO’s determination of a bid’s responsiveness is to be based
on the contents of the bid itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.
20.5 If a bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by IMOPETRO and may not
subsequently be made responsive by the Bidder by correction of the nonconformity.
21.1 IMOPETRO will evaluate and compare the bids which have been determined to be substantially
responsive, pursuant to ITB Clause 20.
21.2 The bids will be evaluated and compared on the DAP (specified port/ports of entry) prices
offered. The award will be based on the DAP price computed by IMOPETRO.
21.3 The evaluation process will be undertaken by a commission jointly designated by IMOPETRO
and Amepetrol.
22.1 Subject to ITB Clause 19, no Bidder shall contact IMOPETRO 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 IMOPETRO, it should do so in writing.
22.2 Any effort by a Bidder to influence IMOPETRO in its decisions on bid evaluation, bid
comparison, or contract award may result in the rejection of the Bidder’s bid.
F. Award of Contract
23. Post-Qualification
23.1 In the absence of pre-qualification, IMOPETRO will determine to its satisfaction whether the
Bidder that is selected as having submitted the lowest evaluation responsive bid is qualified to
perform the contract satisfactorily, in accordance with the criteria listed in ITB Sub-Clause 8.1
(b).
24.1 Subject to ITB Clause 26, IMOPETRO will award the contract to the successful Bidder:
24.1.1 Whose bid has been determined to be substantially responsive to the terms and conditions;

then IMOPETRO shall invite the next ranked bidder.
24.4 IMOPETRO will have preference to the competitive Bidder preferring at his option to supply
