According to the contractor selection plan, the above bidding package has an estimated price of more than VND 10,863 billion. Although this is a grade III civil construction, the requirements for key personnel and unskilled workers are extremely high. Many personnel must have a civil construction supervision practice certificate; the number of years of experience of the project leader is 10 years; having its own chief commander to construct the part of the fire protection system; required to be in charge of supervising the construction of internal roads and infrastructure; in charge of testing materials, materials put into the work... All key personnel are required to have indefinite labor contracts with the contractor. In particular, the contractor must have medical personnel in charge of Covid-19 prevention and control. This personnel requires a university degree or higher or a university degree in health care, signing an indefinite term contract with the contractor.
In addition, the bidding documents require the contractor to mobilize 50 technical workers (machine operator: 3 people; bricklayer: 30 people; formwork carpenter: 2 people; electrician: 2 people; road construction workers: 3 people) ; water supply and drainage workers: 2 people; painters: 10 people; ceiling construction workers: 5 people). Some bidders think that this requirement is too high, not suitable for the scale of the Bidding Package.
Talking to the Bidding Newspaper, many civil construction units said that the bidding documents are "overloaded" with inadequate criteria, leading to disadvantages for many contractors who want to bid.
A bidding expert said that forcing personnel to have indefinite-term contracts and requiring multiple supervision certificates for construction and installation bidding packages is not in accordance with current regulations. "The fact that the Procuring Entity arbitrarily sets out the criteria for personnel in charge of health is hindering the participation of many contractors, distorting the objective of contractor selection," the expert commented.
