A series of accusations
According to the petition of Thai Ha - INVICO - IPCA Joint Venture, the process of organizing the selection of contractors to implement the above bidding package has many shortcomings in the content of the bidding documents (Bidding Documents) as well as the evaluation of the submitted documents. Bidding Documents (Bids) and Result of Contractor Selection.
Specifically, the Bidding Documents issued on 10/10/2020 with the name of the package in the Bidding Documents is inconsistent; Material and equipment requirements table clearly identifies brand and brand. Accordingly, sika panels, sirens, integrated lights, emergency button, sound system, microphone speakers, chairs ... all specify specific names for each brand.
In addition, the Bidding Documents gave a lot of standards that were abolished and expired, such as: TCVN 4091: 1985; TCVN 5593: 1991 ... In particular, according to the Contractor, Package No. 01 according to the evaluation standards is the project with the transformer station + equipment station + transformer + underground lines and transformer stations of industrial works. But the Bidding Documents shows the lack of standards for assessing construction performance and contracts similar to this field.
In addition, according to the Contractor, the Bidding Documents requires the key personnel in charge of the volume to have a valid grade III or higher valuation engineer certificate without the requirement for another title is unreasonable. the technical side.
The Thai Ha - INVICO - IPCA Joint Venture also said that the announcement of the list of contractors that met the technical requirements sent by BMT was not in accordance with regulations. As of December 22, 2020, the Contractor has not received this notice by post or fax.
Regarding the reason for being evaluated not responding, the consortium said that it was not satisfactory. Specifically, “the bid is invalid because the contract execution time stated in the bid is 411 days, which is inconsistent with the time stated in the technical proposal of 420 days and the schedule in the construction schedule is 420 days ”. According to the Contractor, the progress in the bid is in accordance with the requirements of the Bidding Documents, in accordance with the technical proposal and logic in the schedule. The time difference in the bid form and in the technical proposal is not a fundamental or serious error.
What does the investor, the bid solicitor say?
The above package was announced on December 25, 2020. Accordingly, the Real Estate Joint Venture - An Thinh - Hung Thinh Phat won the bid for VND 36,276,526,048 (the package price was VND 38,510,123,000).
Responding to the Bidding Newspaper, the representative of An Giang Provincial Police said: “We have hired a professional consultant to prepare the Bidding Documents, evaluate Bids as well as request a review and report to respond to recommendations of Contractor strictly according to regulations. When issuing the Bidding Documents on October 10, 2020, there was a request for clarification of the Bidding Documents. To facilitate the contractors, we have reviewed and adjusted some contents as well as extended the deadline for bid closing. Up to the time of bid closing, 9 sets of Bidding Documents have been issued and 6 bidders have been issued. In addition, the winning bid price of the winning consortium also saves more than VND 2.3 billion, benefiting the budget. An Giang province police respect the right of contractors and always answer according to regulations and time ”.
Meanwhile, BMT said that the Contractors petition was responded to on December 31, 2020. “After extending to adjust the Bidding Documents, we do not receive any questions from the contractor regarding the Bidding Documents. Some of the Contractors recommendations regarding the Bidding Documents are inappropriate and inaccurate. We evaluate that the Contractors bid is completely ineligible in accordance with the bidding regulations because this applications time proposal is inconsistent with the technical proposal, construction schedule. In addition, the list of technical responses of the Bidding Package has been sent by BMT to the email address provided by the Contractor during the transaction process, received when bidding and responded to by the Contractor. Therefore, this recommendation of the Contractor is unfounded ”, confirmed BMT.
Talking to the Bidding Newspaper, a bidding expert said, to avoid unfortunate mistakes in the bid that lead to disqualification, the bidder should prepare the bid carefully. Because only a discrepancy, inconsistency in the bid form is needed compared to other contents in the Bid, it makes it difficult for both the Bid evaluator and the investor. Therefore, this is an extremely important stage that bidders should keep in mind when preparing their Bids. |
