The above package has an approved cost estimate of VND 68,434 billion, out of the total investment of the project is VND 80 billion, using capital from the welfare fund of VBSP, selecting contractors through open bidding in water, not over the network, mode one phase two record bags. Investor is the branch of VBSP Khanh Hoa province, directly inviting bid. The package has a contract execution period of 480 days. Bidding Documents was issued from December 31, 2020.
Reflecting to the Bidding Newspaper, a contractor said that, in addition to the redundant and unreasonable criteria, the Bidding Documents also received too many "sub-licenses", which are detrimental to the participating bidders.
Specifically, among the technical evaluation criteria, for concrete materials, the Bidding Documents requires the Contractor to have a commercial concrete mixing plant, or have a contract with the supplier (lease, purchase ) commercial concrete to ensure the package, the location of the commercial concrete batching plant should be properly spaced for the construction site, accompanied by all certified documents to demonstrate supply capacity. level is feasible.
Accordingly, the Contractor poses the question of how is the distance suitable for the construction site, will local contractors have more advantages? Thus, if there is no clear standard, the evaluation of this criterion as pass / fail will depend entirely on the subjective opinion of the Investor / Procuring Entity.
For sand and rock materials, the Bidding Documents requires the Contractor to prove that the quarry has a valid license or has a principal contract with the supplier having the mine, together with all documents. materials that have been certified to demonstrate the availability is feasible during construction. The contractor said that, according to the prognosis, the project mainly uses commercial concrete, so the amount of remaining sand and stone materials is not much, just the supply contract with the agent can satisfy. , instead of asking too high like Bidding Documents.
In addition, the Bidding Documents also requires the Contractor to have a contract in principle to lease a waste yard with a functional unit in charge of environmental sanitation in the area or construction site of the Package.
In the Contractors point of view, it is unreasonable to require a contract of principles to rent a waste warehouse right during the selection of the contractor, which will prolong the time for preparing the bid, sometimes losing Take advantage of the attending contractor.
According to experts in the field of bidding, in essence, the above criteria are "sub-licenses" that directly create difficulties for bidders who want to participate. “Particularly for the requirement of a contract of principles to rent a waste warehouse, it will be more realistic if the Investor makes it in the contract negotiation step, which both creates favorable conditions for the contractor in the spirit of Directive 47 / CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on reorganizing the bidding work, while not changing the nature of the Bidding Documents, ”recommended an expert.
On January 8, 2021, after 3 days from the time of receiving the Contractors recommendations (January 5, 2021), the Employer announced to extend the time limit for issue of Bidding Documents to consider and adjust some contents. specified in the Bidding Documents. Accordingly, the bid opening time is delayed from January 21, 2021 to February 8, 2020. |
