date of Bid opening being declared a holiday for the Employer, the Bids will be opened at the appointed time
and location on the next working day.
23.2 Envelopes marked "WITHDRAWAL" shall be opened and read out first. Bids for which an acceptable
notice of withdrawal has been submitted pursuant to Clause 22 shall not be opened. Subsequently all
envelopes marked “Modification” shall be opened and the submissions therein read out in appropriate detail.

have been requested or permitted), any discounts, Bid modifications and withdrawals, the presence or

bids will be returned un-opened to bidders.
23.4 The Employer shall prepare minutes of the Bid opening, including the information disclosed to those present
in accordance with Sub-Clause 23.3.
24. Process to Be Confidential
24.1 Information relating to the examination, clarification, evaluation, and comparison of Bids and
recommendations for the award of a contract shall not be disclosed to Bidders or any other persons not
officially concerned with such process until the award to the successful Bidder has been announced. Any
effort by a Bidder to influence the Employer's processing of Bids or award decisions may result in the
rejection of his Bid.
25. Clarification of Bids
25.1 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of Bids, the Employer may, at his discretion, ask
any Bidder for clarification of his Bid, including breakdowns of the unit rates. The request for clarification
and the response shall be in writing or by cable, but no change in the price or substance of the Bid shall be
sought, offered, or permitted except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered by
the Employer in the evaluation of the Bids in accordance with Clause 27.
25.2 Subject to sub-clause 25.1, no Bidder shall contact the Employer 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 the Employer, it should do so in writing.
25.3 Any effort by the Bidder to influence the Employer in the Employer's bid evaluation, bid comparison or
contract award decisions may result in the rejection of the Bidders’ bid.
26. Examination of Bids and Determination of Responsiveness
26.1 Prior to the detailed evaluation of Bids, the Employer will determine whether each Bid (a) meets the
eligibility criteria defined in Clause 3; (b) has been properly signed; (c) is accompanied by the required
securities and; (d) is substantially responsive to the requirements of the Bidding documents.
26.2 A substantially responsive Bid is one which conforms to all the terms, conditions, and specifications of the
Bidding documents, without material deviation or reservation. A material deviation or reservation is one (a)
which affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the Works; (b) which limits in any
substantial way, inconsistent with the Bidding documents, the Employer's rights or the Bidder's obligations
under the Contract; or (c) whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other Bidders
presenting substantially responsive Bids.
26.3 If a Bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the Employer, and may not subsequently be
made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the non-conforming deviation or reservation.
27. Correction of Errors
27.1 Bids determined to be substantially responsive will be checked by the Employer for any arithmetic errors.
Errors will be corrected by the Employer as follows:
(a) where there is a discrepancy between the rates in figures and in words, the rate in words will govern;
and
(b) where there is a discrepancy between the unit and the line item total resulting from multiplying the
unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will govern.
27.2 The amount stated in the Bid will be adjusted by the Employer in accordance with the above procedure for
the correction of errors and, with the concurrence of the Bidder, shall be considered as binding upon the
Bidder. If the Bidder does not accept the corrected amount the Bid will be rejected, and the Bid security may
be forfeited in accordance with Sub-Clause 16.6 (b).
28. Deleted
29. Evaluation and Comparison of Bids
29.1 The Employer will evaluate and compare only the Bids determined to be substantially responsive in
accordance with Clause 26.
29.2 In evaluating the Bids, the Employer will determine for each Bid the evaluated Bid Price by adjusting the Bid
Price as follows:
(a) making any correction for errors pursuant to Clause 27; or
(b) making an appropriate adjustments for any other acceptable variations, deviations; and
(c) making appropriate adjustments to reflect discounts or other price modifications offered in
accordance with Sub Clause 22.5.
29.3 The Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any variation, deviation, or alternative offer. Variations,
deviations, and alternative offers and other factors which are in excess of the requirements of the Bidding
documents or otherwise result in unsolicited benefits for the Employer shall not be taken into account in Bid
evaluation.
29.4 The estimated effect of the price adjustment conditions under Clause 47 of the Conditions of Contract, during
the period of implementation of the Contract, will not be taken into account in Bid evaluation.
29.5 If the Bid of the successful Bidder is seriously unbalanced in relation to the Engineer's estimate of the cost of
work to be performed under the contract, the Employer may require the Bidder to produce detailed price
analyses for any or all items of the Bill of Quantities, to demonstrate the internal consistency of those prices
with the construction methods and schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analyses, the Employer
may require that the amount of the performance security set forth in Clause 34 be increased at the expense of
the successful Bidder to a level sufficient to protect the Employer against financial loss in the event of default
of the successful Bidder under the Contract.

3, and (b) qualified in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.

"Formed & Unformed Surface Finishes

The surface finishes for formed and unformed surfaces are classified and defined as below.
Surface irregularities permitted for the various classes of finishes are termed either 'abrupt'
or 'gradual' Fins or offsets caused by displaced or misplaced form sheeting, lining or form
sections, by loose knots in form lumber or by otherwise defective form lumber are considered
abrupt irregularities. All other cases are described as gradual irregularities. Gradual
irregularities will be measured with a template consisting of a straight edge for plain surfaces
of its equivalent for curved surfaces. The length of template for testing gradual irregularities
in formed surfaces shall be 1.5 m in length, the permissible gradual irregularities being
measured over this length of the template.
Finish F1, F2 and F2 shall describe formed surfaces.
Finish U1, U2 and U3 shall describe unformed surfaces.
Class F1I Finish
The class F1 finish shall apply to all formed surfaces for which class F2 or F3 is not
specified. It shall generally be formed by steel frame mounted with steel sheet. It shall be so
constructed that there shall he no loss of material from the concrete during placement and
compaction. After hardening, the concrete shall be in the required positions and shall have
the shape and dimensions called for in the drawings. Any abrupt irregularities shall not
exceed 10m. All fins and drifts in excess of the above limits shall be made good by chipping
and grinding, if required, by the Engineer. Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water
may be expected but surface shall be free from voids, honeycombing or other large
blemishes. Class Fl finish shall be generally specified for al surfaces buried in ground or not
visible during service or for surfaces that are to receive further treatment such as plastering
etc. Unless otherwise specified in the item of Bill of Quantity the surface finish shall be
understood to be Class Fl.
Class F2 Finish
Class F-2 finish shall be obtained by use of properly designed forms with steel lining. The
abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 5mm and gradual irregularities shall be less than 8 mm.
Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water may be permitted but the surface shall be
free from honeycombing. voids and large blemishes. Surface irregularities in excess of those
stipulated shall be removed by chipping or rubbing with abrasive stone.
Class F3 Finish
Class F3 finish shall be formed by specially designed close jointed rigid forms having lining
or high quality form plywood. The surface irregularities shall be limited to nil for abrupt
irregularities and 3mm for gradual irregularities. Class F3 finish may be obtained from class
F2 finish by carefully removing all abrupt irregularities including fins and projections by
rubbing / grinding. If steel forms are used they shall have steel sheet backing faced with
plywood.
In addition, finish F3 shall include filling air holes with mortar and treatment of the entire,
surface with sack rubbed finish. It shall also include cleaning of lose and adhering debris.
For a sack: rubbed finish, the surface shall be prepared within two days after removal of the
forms. The surface shall be wetted and allowed to dry slightly before mortar is applied by
sack rubbing. The mortar used shall consist of one part cement to one and one half parts by
volume of fine (IS No. 16 mesh) sand. Only sufficient mixing water to give the mortar a
workable consistency shall be used. The mortar shall then be rubbed over the surface with a
fine burlap or linen cloth so as to fill all the surface voids. The mortar in the voids shall be
allowed to stiffen and solidify after which the whole surface shall be wiped clean with clean
burlap such that all air holes etc., refilled and the entire surface presents a uniform
appearance without air holes, irregularities etc.
Class U1 Finish
This is the screened finish used on surfaces over which other finishes such as wearing coats
etc. are being placed. It is also the first step in the formation of U2 and U3 finishes. The
finishing operation, consists of leveling and screening the concrete to produce an even and
uniform surface so that the gradual irregularities are not greater than 5mrn. Surplus concrete
should be removed immediately after consolidation by striking it off with a sawing motion of a
straight edge or template across a wood or metal strip that has been set as guide. Unless the
drawings specify a horizontal surface or show the slope required, the tops of narrow surfaces
such as stair treads walls, curbs and parapets shall be sloped approximately 10mm per
300mm width. Surfaces to be covered with concrete topping, terrazzo, and similar surfaces
shall be smooth screened and levelled to produce even surfaces, irregularities not exceeding
5mm.
Class U2 Finish
This is a floated finish used on all outdoor-unformed surfaces not prominently exposed to
view such as tops of piers etc. The floating may be done by hand or power driven equipment.
It should not however be started until some stiffening has taken place in the surface concrete
and the moisture film or shine has disappeared. The floating should work the concrete no
more than is necessary to produce a surface that is free from screed marks. All joints and
edges should be finished with edging tools. It shall include the repair of gradual irregularities
exceeding 5mm. All abrupt irregularities shall also be repaired unless a roughened texture is
specified.
Class U3 Finish
This is a trowelled finish used on all surfaces exposed to view at close quarters such as tops
of parapets and kerbs etc. Steel trowelling should not be started until after the moisture film
and shine have completely disappeared from the floated surface and the concrete has
hardened enough to prevent an execs of fine materials and water from being worked to the
surface. Excessive trowelling especially if started too soon tends to produce crazing and lack
of durability. Too long a delay with result in a surface too hard for proper finishing. Steel
trowelling should be performed with a first pressure that will flatten and smoothen the sandy
surface free of blemishes, ripples and trowel mark. It shall include the repair of all abrupt
irregularities and the repair of gradual irregularities exceeding 5mm. It shall also include
finishing the joints and the edges of concrete with edging tools."
Clause 1506 PRECAUTIONS
