11.4 No commercial information shall be contained in a Technical Proposal.

any COMPANY employee be made aware of its contents.

12.0 CONFORMITY OF PROPOSALS

absolute conformity with all specifications and terms and conditions of the
Invitation for Proposals (IFP). This shall be referred to as the "Base Proposal."
No deviations (exceptions, modifications, substitutions) from the IFP documents
shall be incorporated in the Base Proposal. Bidder shall submit only one (1)
such Base Proposal. Failure to submit the Base Proposal in strict compliance
with all specifications and terms and conditions of the IFP documents may be
cause for disqualification, or rejection of a Bidder's Proposal at COMPANY's sole
discretion.

12.2 Each Bidder shall issue a statement confirming that the Bidder has
submitted its proposals strictly in accordance with the IFP documents
without exception. Bidders shall make this statement by issuing the text of the
Technical and Commercial Proposal Transmittal letters included as Attachment I
to Section II and Section III to these Specific Instructions to Bidders. The
transmittal letter for the Contract shall be signed by Bidder and shall be included
as part of each Bidder's Technical and Commercial Proposal documents. Failure
to include this statement shall be a basis for disqualification at COMPANY's sole
discretion without further consideration. COMPANY will not undertake any
responsibility to search out, find, or acknowledge qualifications contained in
Bidder's Proposal documents whether stated expressly or implied.

12.3 Bidder shall use the attached Sections II and III to this Specific Instructions to
Bidders, as well as Bidder's Technical and Commercial Proposal forms, without
change or modification to comply with the requirements of the IFP. Failure to
comply with this requirement shall be cause for rejection of Bidder's proposals.

12.4 Unsolicited alternative proposals may also be submitted. Any such alternative
proposals shall only be considered by COMPANY if the Base Technical and
Commercial Proposals are prepared in strict compliance and absolute conformity
with all aspects of the IFP documents. Bidders are encouraged to develop and
propose alternatives that will reduce the Contract Price or improve the Schedule
or the operating economy (efficiency) with no sacrifice in safety or operability of
the FACILITIES, or safety of personnel. When such alternatives are proposed,
they shall be submitted in separate sealed Technical and/or Commercial
Proposal envelopes, with an alternative proposal number indicated on the
envelope and on the related documents. The related alternative Technical
and/or Commercial Proposals shall have the same alternative proposal number.
Alternative Technical Proposals shall clearly describe the non-commercial

SIB-I-5
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS REQUISITION NO. 3000871779
SECTION II

aspects of the alternative as compared to the Base Proposal. If exceptions and

clarifications are addressed in alternative proposals they shall be fully explained,
clearly defined, and justified.
Alternative Proposals shall be addressed and submitted in the same quantities
as noted in Paragraph 5.3 above.

12.5 It is the Bidder's responsibility to determine the impact on its Contract

performance or price due to Saudi Arabian Government regulations or changes
in the same, including, but not limited to, employment of Saudi nationals, visa
requirements for new expatriate employees, Iqama renewals for existing
expatriate employees, or any other costs associated with conducting business in
Saudi Arabia.

13.0 BID CLOSING DATE

13.1 The Bid Closing Date is the latest date Technical and Commercial Proposals
may be submitted.
All Proposals must be received at the addresses specified in Paragraph 5.3 by
15:30 hours local time in Dhahran on the Bid Closing Date. Proposals received
after the Bid Closing Date and time will not be accepted, and will be returned to
the Bidder unopened.

SIB-I-6
 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS REQUISITION NO. 3000871779

Contract to the technically and financially qualified Bidder who offers the overall
least cost. COMPANY, in the evaluation of Commercial Proposals will take into
account the Lump Sum Price and the Unit Rates provided in Pricing Attachment I
to this Contract Schedule "C".

16.3 COMPANY reserves the right to delete or require reduction of any Unit Rates
which COMPANY considers excessive.

16.4 COMPANY may require discussions with Bidder(s) before final selection is made.
If, as a result of the discussions, a Bidder no longer wishes to stand by its
proposals, Bidder may withdraw them, but may not alter them, except to rectify,
with COMPANY's agreement, an obvious arithmetical or clerical error.

16.5 Bidders' Technical Proposals for "Key Personnel" and "Subcontractor(s)" will be
verified prior to Contract award. The Bidder shall be expected to provide the
"Key Personnel" and/or "Subcontractor(s)" proposed in the Technical Proposal,
unless COMPANY specifically approves substitutes in writing. Such approvals
will be entirely at the discretion of COMPANY which will not be unreasonably
withheld. Substitutes whether accepted or rejected, shall not change the Bidder's
Lump Sum Price or Critical Milestone Dates.

17.0 GUARANTEES

17.1 Based on the financial information which a Bidder previously submitted to

COMPANY a determination will be made whether the Bidder, if successful, shall
provide a Parent Company Performance Guarantee and/or arrange a Bank
Guarantee. Bidders shall note the statement in the Technical and Commercial
Proposal transmittal letters whereby Bidder's Parent Company agrees to provide,
within two weeks of a formal COMPANY request, an executed Parent Company
Performance Guarantee along with an outside legal opinion and a board
resolution authorizing the issuance of the Parent Company Guarantee. The
Parent Company Performance Guarantee, if requested, must be presented to
COMPANY prior to Contract execution, on letterhead of the Parent Company of
Bidder and in the form specified in Section IV of the Commercial Proposal
Section of these Specific Instructions to Bidders for the Performance Guarantee.
If a Bank Guarantee is requested, it must be executed on the letterhead of a
bank acceptable to COMPANY and in a form provided by COMPANY for the
Bank Guarantee.

submit a board resolution authorizing the issuance of the Parent Company
Guarantee and a written legal opinion of outside legal counsel licensed to
practice law in the country or state where the parent company is legally
registered, which shall state that:

17.2.1 All necessary corporate formalities for execution of the Parent

Company Performance Guarantee have been complied with;

17.2.2 All formalities and obligations of the Parent Company to the

government (or country of governing law), or any agency of that government, relating to
the guarantee and its issuance have been complied with; and

SIB-I-7
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS REQUISITION NO. 3000871779
SECTION II

17.2.3 In counsel's opinion, that the issuance of the Parent Company

Performance Guarantee that has been executed is a valid corporate
act by the Parent Company and that the guarantee is enforceable
under the laws of the country which laws govern the Guarantee.
The opinion and any supporting documents, such as a Board of
Director's resolution or foreign exchange approvals must be
completed in English and submitted to COMPANY prior to the
signing of any Contract.

17.3 Once COMPANY has determined that a Parent Company Performance

Guarantee is necessary, it will not waive this requirement. COMPANY will not
enter into any Contract with a Bidder that is required to provide a Parent
Company Performance Guarantee and/or Bank Guarantee, but fails to do so.

17.4 Any Parent Company Performance Guarantee and/or Bank Guarantee required
of a Bidder shall be provided at Bidder's sole expense.

18.0 CONFLICT OF INTEREST

All Bidders should familiarize themselves with the Conflict of Interest provisions which
are included in the Pro Forma Contracts. Any violation of these provisions prior to
Contract award will be cause for disqualification of Bidder's Proposals.

19.0 GOVERNMENT LIAISON

19.1 Bidders are advised that CONTRACTOR shall be expected to conduct

Government Liaison activities on its own behalf and for its personnel working in
Saudi Arabia. For purposes of illustration, such activities include, but are not
limited to, contacts with and reports to the Saudi Arab Government, its agencies
and officials, concerning such matters as:

19.1.1 Violation of laws or regulations by employees brought to Saudi

Arabia to engage in the performance of the WORK.

19.1.2 Arranging for passports, visas, authorizations, work and residence

permits and licenses required for entry to and departure from Saudi

CONTRACTOR.

WORK.

which CONTRACTOR may otherwise reasonably require.

19.1.9 Customs clearance for materials procured by CONTRACTOR for

the WORK.

Government officials and agencies, without assistance or support from
COMPANY.

20.0 DISPOSITION OF INVITATION FOR PROPOSAL DOCUMENTS

20.1 If, after receiving the IFP documents, a Bidder decides not to bid, Bidder shall
promptly notify the Contracting Representative and return all IFP documents
including addenda, no later than ten (10) days after Bidder notifies the
Contracting Representative of its decision, to the address shown in Paragraph
5.3 of this Specific Instructions to Bidders.

20.2 All unsuccessful Bidders are required to return all IFP documents no later than
ten (10) days after being so informed in writing. All IFP documents shall be
returned to COMPANY.

21.0 BIDDER WITHDRAWAL

COMPANY welcomes the participation of the selected Bidders on this project and on
future COMPANY projects. At the same time, COMPANY expects all Bidders who
express interest and attend the Job Explanation Meeting to be serious about their
commitment to the project on which they decide to bid. Unfortunately, a Bidder's
decision to withdraw after the Job Explanation Meeting places COMPANY at a
disadvantage, which becomes even more serious if such withdrawal occurs after the
Bidder submits a bid.

Therefore, COMPANY would like to caution that a Bidder's decision to withdraw after the
Bid Closing Date may result in significant consequences on the relationship between
COMPANY and such Bidder, including suspension from COMPANY bid slates for a
significant period of time at COMPANY's discretion.

COMPANY urges all Bidders to keep this in mind and ensure prior to bid submission that
your bid is free from significant mistakes that may later cause you to withdraw.

All withdrawals from the bidding process are to be done in ECN and bidder's reason of
withdrawing must be stated in the withdrawal request.

SIB-I-9
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS REQUISITION NO. 3000871779
SECTION II

22.0 ADHERING TO GOVERNMENT SAFETY AND SECURITY REGULATIONS

COMPANY received a letter from the Projects and Engineering Division of General
Security (Ministry of Interior) in the Eastern Province indicating that some COMPANY
Contractors have not been adhering to traffic safety regulations and have also been
commencing work before obtaining the necessary Government permits. The Ministry
reminded that this would result in such Contractors being stopped from performing their
work and being subject to fines.

As a result, COMPANY wishes to draw all Contractors' attention to this matter and
remind everyone that it is each Contractor's responsibility to follow all applicable
Government and COMPANY rules and regulations. A contractor's failure to do so, and
any resulting delays, will constitute a breach of Contract with COMPANY in addition to
other consequences and disciplinary actions imposed by the Government.

23.0 PROCUREMENT OF MATERIALS

Procurement Policies

23.1 The requirements of Schedule "G" reflect policies which COMPANY steadfastly
maintains. These policies aim to:
a. actively promote the development of the local Saudi business community;
and
b. foster strong business relationships with Saudi suppliers to ensure both long
term purchasing economies and material quality; and
c. Encourage Saudi suppliers to establish and maintain inventories of materials
in the Kingdom so that COMPANY operations are not interrupted.
In order to advance its commercial interests including the development of local supply
capabilities, COMPANY strongly supports the growth of the Saudi infrastructure
particularly that of the Saudi manufacturing sector.

24.0 SAUDI MANUFACTURER PARTICIPATION

In accordance with Schedule "G", the CONTRACTOR shall contemporaneously solicit

quotes from both Saudi manufacturers and out-of-Kingdom suppliers for materials
identified in COMPANY's report and valued above $10,000.

25.0 PREFERENCE FOR SAUDI CARRIERS

COMPANY utilizes the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (NSCSA) and the
United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) for ocean shipments, and the Saudi Arabia
Airlines (Saudia) for air shipments, or their agents and representatives, for shipping a
significant portion of its material. COMPANY encourages its contractors and suppliers to
also utilize the services of these Saudi companies when shipping material for
COMPANY projects whenever their services and their costs are competitive with other
alternatives.

27.0 SAUDI ARAB CUSTOMS DUTIES

Article 98 Paragraph 4 of the Rules for the Implementation of Saudi Arab Customs
Regulations provides for the import and re-export of tools and equipment on a
refundable deposit basis. To eliminate unnecessary expenditures, Bidders are not to
include in their bid(s) any costs to cover customs duties for CONTRACTOR-supplied
tools and equipment to be re-exported. With regard to Saudi Arab Customs on tools and
equipment to be re-exported, CONTRACTOR should:

27.1 Furnish Customs Authority with a list of the tools and equipment. Particulars and
quantities of the tools and equipment are to be listed in duplicate, one copy shall

segregated and shipped separately on individual airway bill or bill of lading.

27.2 Indicate the approximate period during which the tools and equipment will be
temporarily used in the Kingdom.

27.3 Pay customs duties and additional charges on the tools and equipment as a
deposit, which will be retained for a period of six months. The CONTRACTOR is
expected to re-export the items before the end of the period of six months.

27.4 Contact Customs Authority within the six month period in the event
CONTRACTOR wishes to extend such period requesting extension of the period
with a justification for the extension, otherwise the deposit will be forfeited. The
period may not be extended for more than a year except under exceptional
circumstances, and only by order of the Ministry of Finance.

27.5 Deposits will be refunded only after confirming that the quantities and particulars
of the tools and equipment have been verified against the import lists and after
re-export is confirmed. Only the customs duties collected excluding additional
portage and port charges are refunded, on the basis that such tools and

SIB-I-11
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS REQUISITION NO. 3000871779
SECTION II

equipment have been provided services of unloading on docks and

transportation. Irrevocable customs duties will be imposed on tools and
equipment which remain in the Kingdom and which CONTRACTOR intends to
sell locally. Such duties will be deducted from the refundable deposit on the
basis of charges assessed when the tools and equipment were imported.

28.0 CONFIDENTIALITY OF DOCUMENTS

In order for you to prepare your proposal for the subject Contract, it will be necessary for
COMPANY to provide you with certain information, including, but not limited to:
schedules, designs, drawings, calculations, specifications and standards. Due to the

without the written permission of COMPANY.

29.0 RETURNING BID INVITATION DOCUMENTS

The bid package is being loaned to the Bidder in order for it to respond to the Invitation

the bid package shall be destroyed.

30.0 ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS

COMPANY wishes to emphasize that payment of CONTRACTOR invoices are made
