Applicants are advised that the following description of the Two-Stage Bidding Process is only a summary for information. Prequalified bidders shall be guided by the detailed provisions of the bidding documents, after they have been made available to them. Technical Specifications and approved Products: Applicants wishing to propose technical alternatives are encouraged to register their new products as early as the invitation for prequalification. Paragraph 12 of section VI provides details about the process of registration of new products and inclusion in the list of approved vendors. Invitation of Bids: Pre-qualified Bidders (Applicants) will be invited to submit their Technical Bids for this Project. The Bids shall be invited for Design Build (Lump Sum) Contracts following the Two Stage Bidding Process as outlined below: First Stage Bid: The bid process will involve asking the Pre-qualified Bidders to submit their First Stage Technical proposals in response to the performance/ technical specifications for the project included in the bid document. First Stage Technical proposals are un-priced proposals and shall contain no prices or price schedules or other reference to rates and prices for completing the works. The Employer may ask the Pre-qualified Bidders to update the data submitted at the time of prequalification to assess their meeting the pre-qualification criteria during the bidding stage. Evaluation of First Stage Bids: The Employer will examine the first stage technical proposals to determine whether they are complete, whether the documents have been properly signed and whether the bids are generally in order and respond adequately to the performance/technical specifications. Any bids found to be non- responsive or not meeting the minimum levels of the performance or other criteria specified in the bidding document will be rejected by the Employer and not included for further consideration. The Employer will then carry out a detailed evaluation of the first stage technical proposals in order to determine whether the technical aspects are in compliance with the Bidding Document. The Employer will also review complete alternative technical proposals, if any, offered by the Bidder, pursuant to the relevant provision of the Bid Documents, to determine whether such alternatives may constitute an acceptable basis for a Second Stage bid to be submitted on its own merits. Clarification Meetings : The Employer may conduct clarification meetings with each or any Bidder to clarify any aspects of its First Stage technical proposal that require explanation and to review any Bidders proposed alternative solutions or reservations to the commercial or contractual provisions of the bidding documents. The Employer may bring to the attention of the Bidder any amendments or changes which the Employer may require to be made to the First Stage Technical Proposal; however the Employer may not require amendments or changes at variance from the Employers requirements unless the Employer intends to amend the Bidding Document in accordance with the relevant provision of the Bid Documents.
The Employer will issue a Memorandum titled Changes Required Pursuant to First Stage Evaluation, documenting the clarifications made in writing and/or in
Page 18 of 60

a meeting, if any, and including an Annex listing all decisions, and required amendments or changes resulting from the clarification of the First Stage technical proposal. The Memorandum will be communicated to the Bidder as part of the invitation to submit the Second Stage bid.
Second Stage Bid: The Employer will invite the Bidders to submit a final updated Technical and a Commercial Second Stage bid based on its First Stage Technical Proposal taking into account the Bidding Document, if and as amended, and any other modifications as recorded in the Annex to the Memorandum entitled Changes Required Pursuant to First Stage Evaluation. Bidders will be allowed to submit only one Second Stage Bid. Evaluation of Multiple Slices: All bids and combination of bids on several slices shall be received by the same deadline and opened and evaluated simultaneously so as to determine the bid or combination of bids offering the lowest evaluated cost to DFCC. Therefore, applicants for prequalification have to state for which Slice or Slices they wish to prequalify. If prequalified, they will bid either for their chosen slices or for all three slices if they wish to increase their chances. However, a bidder will only be awarded the number of Slices depending on his prequalified capacity.
