Inspecting the bidder selection process of the bidding package, Long An Department of Planning and Investment confirmed that the bidding dossier (Bidding document) was wrongly made due to the fault of the investor and the bid solicitor. Bidding has limited the contractor As the Bidding Newspaper has reported, the package for construction of the ground leveling works by the Long An Center for Land Development (PTDC) as the investor, directly invited bids. The winning bidder is a joint venture of Tai Phat Trading and Services One Member Limited Liability Company - Hiep Lien Tan An Co., Ltd with the bid price of 47,124 million dong (bid price of 47,611 million dong, reaching the saving rate of 1% via open bidding). Inspection results of Long An Department of Planning and Investment show that bidding documents of the bidding package have some limitations. Specifically, Section 4, Chapter 1 Contractors Guide (page 10 of the bidding documents) defines the eligibility of the contractor. The contractor must have a mining tunnel in Kien Tuong Town and neighboring districts within 10 km. And the contractor must have a permit to exploit the earthen tunnel with a volume of 30% or more of the level of fill level of the bidding package. This regulation re-evaluates the criteria for assessing the capability of the contractor (Section 5 - page 41 of the bidding documents) and Section 3, Chapter 3 of the technical standards. page 44 of the bidding documents). Long An Department of Planning and Investment affirmed that the above requirements of the contractors eligibility would limit contractors having underground tunnels beyond 10 km, In addition, Clause 4, Section 2.1, Chapter III, Criteria for Evaluation of Bids on Specific Experience in Management and Implementation of Construction Contracts (page 36 of the bidding documents) stipulates that the minimum quantity of contracts As described below, the contractor has completed all or the majority of the works (at least 80% of the workload of the contract), either as a main contractor (independent or a partnership) ... is not consistent with Circular No. 03/2015 / TT-BKHTT, specifically lack of subcontractors. The bidding is not in accordance with the regulations Test results also show that page 36 of the bidding documents: The contractor has completed a leveling contract valued at 35 billion in the past five years (from 2012 to 2017). ) or 3 leveling contracts with 3 contracts worth 35 billion VND or more is not consistent with the provisions in Form No. 2 of Circular 03/2015 / TT-BKHDT. According to the report of the investor, the bidding document does not stipulate minimum contract value and the number of contracts is greater than 1 in order to create conditions for many bidders to participate in bidding. Kien Tuong Commune is a newly established town in 2013, with no major contractor. DPI believes that the same contract stipulation does not have an attached and defined definition or there are 3 contracts leveling up three total contracts worth 35 billion or more is not true. as specified in Form 2 of Circular 03/2015 / TT-BKHDT. The erroneous bidding order is due to the fault of the investor and the bid solicitor. However, the fact that the Employer and the Purchaser provide criteria lower than guidelines to increase the capacity of the appropriate small contractors. In addition, the Department of Planning and Investment of Long An also pointed out some other shortcomings of the bidding packages such as the regulation of unnecessary workers and unnecessary contracts ... is unreasonable. When the contractor provides documentation proving the ability to mobilize equipment for the construction work, the equipment must be attached to the operator. The evaluation score of bidding documents has some superfluous criteria because it has been considered at the prerequisite conditions such as underground position, similar contract of contractor ... The distribution of points in the bidding documents is also unreasonable. score points with warranty, fire safety points - 5 points); Specify the minimum score compared to the unclear maximum score ... As a result of the inspection, Long An Department of Planning and Investment proposed the Peoples Committee of Long An province to issue a written review of the responsibility of organizations and individuals involved in organizing bidding for the above package. |
