existing plant, buildings, structures and underground services.
9 SITE VISIT

ENQUIRY NO: 1280A4-003 Page 6 of 17

INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS

11.2 Tenderers must complete and return the Form of Tender in the format specified in Attachment
C to these Instructions. The full legal name and address of the Tenderer must be stated and
the Tender is to be signed and dated by a person fully authorised to bind the Tenderer. The
name and designation of the signatory shall be typed or clearly printed below the signature.
Any Tender submitted without a signed Form of Tender will be rejected.
11.3 Whereas Tenderers may wish to submit qualified or alternative Tenders which do not comply
with the requirements of these Instructions, no such non-compliant Tenders will be
considered unless a “base” Tender free of qualifications or alternatives and strictly on the
basis of the ITT Documents, is also submitted at the same time.
If a Tenderer wishes to submit a qualified or alternative Tender, it must provide all such
additional information as will enable COMPANY to evaluate the qualifications and/or
alternative proposals. Neither qualified or alternative Tenders nor any accompanying
information shall be included as part of the base Tender, but shall be submitted as a separate
document clearly marked "ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL". The Tenderer shall clearly
identify the item(s) or area(s) where the alternative proposal differs from the base Tender and
set out the commercial and technical advantages of the alternative(s).
Tenderers are advised that strict compliance with the requirement to submit an unqualified
base Tender is essential. If the base Tender is qualified in any way, then the base Tender,
together with the Alternative Proposal(s), will be considered invalid and will not be subject to
further evaluation. However, if a base Tender is submitted free of qualifications then,
qualifications included in an Alternative Proposal in accordance with the above instructions
will be considered.
COMPANY reserves the right to reject any Alternative Proposal.
12 TENDER CONTENT
12.1 The Tender shall comprise the following three elements, which are to be submitted as
separate packages:
Un-priced Commercial Proposal - to contain the original Form of Tender, Parent Company
Guarantee (if applicable), and all other information requested in Part E, Commercial Proposal,
Section 1 and Section 3, of the ITT Documents.
Priced Commercial Proposal - to contain all the information requested in Part E,
Commercial Proposal, Section 2 of the ITT Documents.
Technical Proposal - to contain all the information requested in Part F, Technical Proposal,
Sections 1 to 13 of the ITT Documents.
Technical and commercial evaluation of the Tender will involve detailed analysis of these
documents. It is therefore imperative that they are all properly completed and included in the
Tender.
12.2 The Commercial and Technical Proposals shall be compiled to correspond exactly with the
Section(s) and Sub-section(s) of the ITT Documents. General references in these Instructions
to the “Commercial Proposal” may be read being references to the combined “Un-priced” and
“Priced” parts thereof.

Tender. No marking revealing or indicating the identity of the Tenderer should be on the

the Agent handling clearance at receiving Airport on the Tenderer’s behalf must be identified
to the carrying airline. Failure to do this may cause delay and rejection of the Tender

letter to the ITT Documents.
13.4 If any Tender is received later than the prescribed hour and date due to any reason other than
the fault of COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE and/or the COMPANY or their respective
representatives, it may be rejected and returned unopened to the sender.

submission.

disqualification.

absolute discretion, result in the rejection of the Tenderer’s Commercial Proposal.

any of the requirements of these Instructions, and to accept any Tender, whether or not it is
the lowest received.

Parent Company Guarantee issued by the Tenderer's ultimate Holding Company with its
Tender. The required format of the guarantee, which shall be signed either by two Directors
or by one Director and the Company Secretary of the Holding Company, is set out in Part E,

included in the original Un-priced Commercial Proposal.

Tenderer fails to provide a Parent Company Guarantee with the Tender.
