management.
17.3 The purpose of the information described in ITT 15.1 above overrides any claims to confidentiality
which a tenderer may have. There can be no circumstances in which it would be justified for a tenderer to

Entity as a justification for a Tenderer's failure to disclose, or failure to provide required information on its
ownership and control.
17.4 The Tenderer shall provide further documentary proof, information or authorizations that the
Procuring Entity may request in relation to ownership and control which information on any changes to

interest in relation to the award or management of the contract.
17.5 All information provided by the tenderer pursuant to these requirements must be complete, current
and accurate as at the date of provision to the Procuring Entity. In submitting the information required
pursuant to these requirements, the Tenderer shall warrant that the information submitted is complete,
current and accurate as at the date of submission to the Procuring Entity.
17.6 If a tenderer fails to submit the information required by these requirements, its tenderer will be
rejected. Similarly, if the Procuring Entity is unable, after taking reasonable steps, to verify to a reasonable
degree the information submitted by a tenderer pursuant to these requirements, then the tender will be
rejected.
17.7 If information submitted by a tenderer pursuant to these requirements, or obtained by the Procuring
Entity (whether through its own enquiries, through notification by the public or otherwise), shows any
conflict of interest which could materially and improperly benefit the tenderer in relation to the
procurement or contract management process, then:
if the procurement process is still ongoing, the tenderer will be disqualified from the
procurement process,
if the contract has been awarded to that tenderer, the contract award will be set aside,
the tenderer will be referred to the relevant law enforcement authorities for investigation of whether
the tenderer or any other persons have committed any criminal offence.
14
17.8 If a tenderer submits information pursuant to these requirements that is in complete, inaccurate or
out- of-date, or attempts to obstruct the verification process, then the consequences ITT 6.7 will ensue
unless the tenderer can show to the reasonable satisfaction of the Procuring Entity that any such act was
not material, or was due to genuine error which was not attributable to the intentional act, negligence or
recklessness of the tenderer.
18.1 The Tenderer shall furnish the information stipulated in Section IV, Tendering Forms in sufficient
detail to demonstrate substantial responsiveness of the Tenderers' proposal to the work requirements

each of those items. In addition, the Tenderer shall include in its Tender information establishing
compliance with the requirements specified by the Procuring Entity for these items. Quoted rates and
prices will be deemed to apply to whichever Subcontractor is appointed, and no adjustment of the rates
and prices will be permitted.
18.3 The Tenderer shall be responsible for ensuring that any Subcontractor proposed complies with the
requirements of ITT 4, and that any plant, or services to be provided by the Subcontractor comply with
the requirements of ITT 5 and ITT 15.1.
19.1 Unless otherwise specified in the TDS, Tenderers shall quote for the entire Plant and Installation
Services on a “single responsibility” basis. The total Tender price shall include all the Contractor's
obligations mentioned in or to be reasonably inferred from the Tendering document in respect of the
design, manufacture, including procurement and subcontracting (if any), delivery, construction, installation
and completion of the Plant. This includes all requirements under the Contractor's responsibilities for
testing, pre-commissioning and commissioning of the plant and, where so required by the Tendering
document, the acquisition of all permits, approvals and licenses, etc.; the operation, maintenance and

Clarification of Tenders
30.1 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of the Tenders, and qualification of the
Tenderers, the Procuring Entity may, at its discretion, ask any Tenderer for a clarification of its Tender. Any
clarification submitted by a Tenderer that is not in response to a request by the Procuring Entity shall not
be considered. The Procuring Entity's request for clarification and the response shall be in writing. No
change in the prices or substance of the Tender shall be sought, offered, or permitted, except to confirm
the correction of arithmetic errors discovered by the Procuring Entity in the evaluation of the Tenders, in
accordance with ITT32.
30.2 If a Tenderer does not provide clarifications of its Tender by the date and time set in the Procuring
Entity's request for clarification, its Tender may be rejected.
32.3 The Procuring Entity shall examine the technical aspects of the Tender in particular, to confirm that
all requirements of Section VII, Procuring Entity's Requirements have been met without any material
deviation, reservation, or omission.
32.4 If a Tender is not substantially responsive to the requirements of the Tendering document, it shall be
rejected by the Procuring Entity and may not subsequently be made responsive by correction of the
material deviation, reservation, or omission.
33.2 Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity may request that the Tenderer
submit the necessary information or documentation, within a reasonable period of time, to rectify non
material non- conformities in the Tender related to documentation requirements. Requestinginformation
or documentation on such non-conformities shall not be related to any aspect of the price of the Tender.
Failure of the Tenderer to comply with the request may result in the rejection of its Tender.
33.3 Provided that a Tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity shall rectify quantifiable non
material non-conformities related to the Tender Price. To this effect, the Tender Price shall be adjusted, for
comparison purposes only, to reflect the price of a missing or non-conforming item or component in the
21
manner specified in the TDS.
If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the
unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail and the total price shall be corrected, unless in the
opinion of the Procuring Entity there is an obvious misplacement of the decimal point in the unit
price, in which case the total price as quoted shall govern and the unit price shall be corrected;
If there is an error in a total corresponding to the addition or subtraction of subtotals, the subtotals
shall prevail and the total shall be corrected; and
If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words shall prevail, unless the amount
expressed in words is related to an arithmetic error, in which case the amount in figures shall prevail
subject to (a) and (b) above.
34.2 Any error detected if considered a major deviation that affects the substance of the tender, shall lead
to disqualification of the tender as non-responsive. The method of determining the error as a major
deviation shall be specified in the TDS.
34.3 Corrected tender prices shall not be used in the evaluation of tenders, comparison of tender prices.
34.4 The Procuring Entity shall calculate the difference between the corrected price and tender price and
work out the percentage difference, which will be plus or minus tender price as the case may be; [i.e.
(corrected tender price– tender price)/ tender price X100]. This percentage difference between corrected
tender price and tender price may be used to determine if the error so detected is considered a major
deviation that affects the substance of the tender.
34.5 On award of contract, all payment valuation certificates, variation orders on omissions and additions
valued based on rates in the Bill of Quantities will be adjusted by such a percentage specified in ITT 31.4
to ensure contractor is not paid less or more relative to the contract price which would be the tender price.
Conversion to Single Currency
35.1 For evaluation and comparison purposes, the currency (ies) of the Tender shall be converted
into a single currency as specified in the TDS.
Margin of Preference
36.1 A margin of preference may be allowed on locally manufactured goods (plant and equipment) only
when the contract is open to international tendering, where the tender is likely to attract foreign goods
and where the contract exceeds the threshold specified in the Regulations.
36.2 A margin of preference shall not be allowed unless it is specified so in the TDS.
36.3 Contracts procured on basis of international tendering and competition shall not be subject to
reservations exclusive/ specific groups under women, youth and persons living with disability.
36.4 Where it is intended to reserve a contract to a specific group of businesses (these groups are Small
and Medium Enterprises, Women Enterprises, Youth Enterprises and Enterprises of persons living with
disability, as the case may be), and who are appropriately registered as such by a competent authority, a
procuring entity shall ensure that the invitation to tender specifically indicates that only businesses or firms
belonging to the specified group are eligible to tender. Tender shall be reserved to only one group. If not
so stated in the Tender documents, the invitation to tender will be open to all interested tenderers.
Evaluation of Tenders
37.1 The Procuring Entity shall use the criteria and methodologies listed in this ITT and Section III,
Evaluation and Qualification criteria. No other evaluation criteria or methodologies shall be permitted. By
applying the criteria and methodologies the Procuring Entity shall determine the Best Evaluated Tender.
22
This is the Tender of the Tenderer that meets the qualification criteria and that has been determined to be:
Most responsive to the Tendering document; and The lowest evaluated cost.
37.2 Technical Evaluation. The Procuring Entity will carry out a detailed technical evaluation of the
Tenders not previously rejected to determine whether the technical aspects are incompliance with the
Tendering document. The Tender that does not meet minimum acceptable standards of completeness,
consistency and detail, and the specified minimum (or maximum, as the case may be) requirements for
specified functional guarantees, will be rejected for non-responsiveness. In order to reach its determination,
the Procuring Entity will examine and compare the technical aspects of the Tenders on the basis of the
information supplied by the Tenderers, taking into account the following:
Overall completeness and compliance with the Procuring Entity's Requirements; conformity of the
Plant and Installation Services offered with specified performance criteria, including conformity with the
specified minimum (or maximum, as the case may be) requirement corresponding to each functional
guarantee, as indicated in the Specification and in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification
Criteria; suitability of the Plant and Installation Services offered in relation to the environmental and
climatic conditions prevailing at the site; and quality, function and operation of any process control concept
included in the Tender; type, quantity and long-term availability of mandatory and recommended spare
parts and maintenance services; and other relevant factors, if any, listed in Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria.
37.3 Where alternative technical solutions have been allowed in accordance with ITT 13, and offered by
the Tenderer, the Procuring Entity will make a similar evaluation of the alternatives. Where alternatives
have not been allowed but have been offered, they shall be ignored.
37.4 Economic Evaluation. To evaluate a Tender, the Procuring Entity shall consider the following:
the Tender price, excluding provisional sums and the provision, if any, for contingencies in the Price
Schedules; price adjustment due to discounts offered in accordance with ITT 17.11; price adjustment due
to quantifiable non material non-conformities in accordance with ITT 31.3;
converting the amount resulting from applying (a) to (c) above, if relevant, to a single currency in
accordance with ITT 33; and
the evaluation factors specified in the TDS and in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
37.5 If price adjustment is allowed in accordance with ITT 17.7, the estimated effect of the price
adjustment provisions of the Conditions of Contract, applied over the period of execution of the Contract,
shall not be taken into account in Tender evaluation.
37.6 In the case of multiple contracts or lots, Tenderers are allowed to tender for one or more lots and
the methodology to determine the lowest evaluated cost of the lot (contract) and for combinations,
including any discounts offered in the Form of Tender, is specified in Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria.
Comparison of Tenders
38.1 The Procuring Entity shall compare the evaluated costs of all substantially responsive Tenders
established in accordance with ITT 35.4 to determine the Tender that has the lowest evaluated cost.
39.2 In the event of identification of a potentially Abnormally Low Tender, the Procuring Entity shall seek
written clarifications from the Tenderer, including detailed price analyses of its Tender price in correlation
to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed methodology, schedule, allocation of risks and
responsibilities and anyother requirements of the Tendering document.
23
39.3 After evaluation of the price analyses, in the event that the Procuring Entity determines that the
Tenderer has failed to demonstrate its capability to deliver the contract for the offered tender price, the
Procuring Entity shall reject the Tender.
39.4 An abnormally high price is one where the tender price, in combination with other constituent
elements of the Tender, appears unreasonably too high to the extent that the Procuring Entity is concerned
that it (the Procuring Entity) may not be getting value for money or it may be paying too high a price for
the contract compared with market prices or that genuine competition between Tenderers is compromised.
39.5 In case of an abnormally high tender price, the Procuring Entity shall make a survey of the market
prices, check if the estimated cost of the contract is correct and review the Tender Documents to check
ifthe specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high
tenders. The Procuring Entity may also seek written clarification from the tenderer on the reason for the
high tender price. The Procuring Entity shall proceed as follows:
If the tender price is abnormally high based on wrong estimated cost of the contract, the Procuring
Entity may accept or not accept the tender depending on the Procuring Entity's budget
considerations.
If specifications, scope of work and/or conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high tender
prices, the Procuring Entity shall reject all tenders and may retender for the contract based on revised
estimates, specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract, as the case may be.
39.6 If the Procuring Entity determines that the Tender Price is abnormally too high because genuine
competition between tenderers is compromised (often due to collusion, corruption or other
manipulations), the Procuring Entity shall reject all Tenders and shall institute or cause competent
Government Agencies to institute an investigation on the cause of the compromise, before retendering.
40.2 After the evaluation of the information and detailed price analyses presented by the Tenderer, the
Procuring Entity may:
Accept the Tender; or
If appropriate, require that the total amount of the Performance Security be increased, at the
expense of the Tenderer, to a level not exceeding twenty percent (10%) of the Contract Price; or
Reject the Tender.
41.1 The Procuring Entity shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Tenderer that is selected as
having submitted the lowest evaluated cost and substantially responsive Tender is eligible and meets the
qualifying criteria specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
41.2 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence of the
Tenderer's qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant to ITT 15.1. The determination shall not take
into consideration the qualifications of other firms such as the Tenderer's subsidiaries, parent entities,
affiliates, subcontractors (other than Specialized Subcontractors if permitted in the Tendering document) or
any other firm (s) different from the Tenderer.
41.3 An affirmative determination shall be a prerequisite for award of the Contract to the Tenderer. A
negative determination shall result in disqualification of the Tender, in which event the Procuring Entity
shall proceed to the Tenderer who offers a substantially responsive Tender with the next lowest evaluated
cost to make a similar determination of that Tenderer's qualifications to perform satisfactorily.
24
41.4 The capabilities of the manufacturers and subcontractors proposed in its Tender to be used by the
Tenderer with the Lowest Evaluated Tender for identified major items of supply or services will also be
evaluated for acceptability in accordance with Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria. Their
participation should be confirmed with a Form of intent between the parties, as needed. Should a
manufacturer or subcontractor be determined to be unacceptable, the Tender will not be rejected, but the
Tenderer will be required to substitute an acceptable manufacturer or subcontractor without any change to
the Tender price. Prior to signing the Contract,
The corresponding Appendix to the Contract Agreement shall be completed, listing the
approved manufacturers or subcontractors for each item concerned.
Procuring Entity's right to Accept Any Tender and to Reject Any or All Tenders
42.1 The Procuring Entity reserves the right to accept or reject any Tender, and to annul the Tendering
process and reject all Tenders at any time prior to Contract Award, without there by incurring any liability

questionnaire) and other requirements in the ITT and that the tender is complete in all aspects in meeting
the requirements of “Part 2 - Procuring Entity's Requirements”, including checking for tenders with

[Lifecycle costing should be used when the costs of operation and/ or maintenance over the specified life
of the goods or works are estimated to be considerable in comparison with the initial cost and may vary
among different Tenders/proposals. It shall be evaluated on a net present value basis. When using lifecycle costing,
the Procuring Entity shall specify the following information:]
Since the operating and maintenance costs of the facilities being procured form a major part of the life
cycle cost of the facilities, these costs will be evaluated according to the principles given here after,
including the cost of spare parts for the initial period of operation stated below and based on prices
furnished by each Tenderer in Price Schedule Nos. 1 and 2, as well as on past experience of the Procuring
Entity or other Procuring Entity's similarly placed. Such costs shall be added to the Tender price for
evaluation. The operating and maintenance costs factors for calculation of the life cycle cost are:
The price of recommended spare parts quoted in Price Schedule No.6 shall be considered for
evaluation.
Functional Guarantees of the Facilities
The minimum (or maximum) requirements stated in the Specification for functional guarantees required
in the Specification are:
For the purposes of evaluation, for each percentage point that the functional guarantee of the proposed
Plant and Installation Services is below the norm specified in the Specification and in the above table, but
above the minimum acceptable levels also specified there in, an adjustment of.............. will be added to the
Tender price. If the drop below the norm or the excess above the minimum acceptable levels is less than
one percent, the adjustment will be appropriated accordingly.
Specific addition criteria the relevant evaluation method, if any, shall be as follows:
Any adjustments in price that result from the above procedures shall be added, for purposes of
comparative evaluation only, to arrive at an “Evaluated Tender Price.” Tender prices quoted by Tenderers
shall remain unaltered.
4.1 Multiple contracts will be permitted in accordance with ITT 35.4. Tenderers are evaluated on basisof
Lots and the lowest evaluated tenderer identified for each Lot. The Procuring Entity will select one Option
of the two Options listed below for award of Contracts.
OPTION1
If a tenderer wins only one Lot, the tenderer will be awarded a contract for that Lot, provided the tenderer
meets the Eligibility and Qualification Criteria for that Lot.
If a tenderer wins more than one Lot, the tender will be awarded contracts for all won Lots, provided the
tenderer meets the aggregate Eligibility and Qualification Criteria for all the Lots. The tenderer will be
awarded the combination of Lots for which the tenderer qualifies and the others will be considered for
award to second lowest the tenderers.
OPTION 2
The Procuring Entity will consider all possible combinations of won Lots [contract(s)] and determine the
combinations with the lowest evaluated price. Tenders will then be awarded to the Tenderer or Tenderers
in the combinations provided the tenderer meets the aggregate Eligibility and Qualification Criteria for all
the won Lots.
MARGIN OF PREFERENCE
5.1 If the TDS so specifies, the Procuring Entity will grant a margin of preference of 15% (fifteen percent)
to Tenderers offering goods manufactured, mined, extracted, grown, assembled or semi- processed in
Kenya. Goods assembled or semi-processed in Kenya shall have a local content of not less than 40%.
5.2 The margin of preference will be applied in accordance with, and subject to, the following provisions:
Tenderers applying for such preference on goods offered shall be asked to provide, as part of the data for
qualification, such information, including details of the goods produced in Kenya, so as to determine
whether, according to the classification established by the Procuring Entity, a particular category of goods
or group of goods qualifies for a margin of preference.
After Tenders have been received and reviewed by the Procuring Entity, goods offered in the responsive
Tenders shall be assessed to ascertain they are manufactured, mined, extracted, grown, assembled or semi-
processed in Kenya. Responsive tenders shall be classified in to the following groups:
Group A: Tenders offering goods manufactured in Kenya, for which (a) labor, raw materials, and
components from within Kenya account for more than forty (40) percent of the Ex-Works price; and the
production facility in which they will be manufactured or assembled has been engaged in manufacturing
or assembling such goods at least since the date of Tender submission date;
Group B: All other Tenders offering Goods manufactured in Kenya;
Group C: Tenders offering Goods manufactured outside Kenya that have been already imported or
that will be imported.
34
5.3 To facilitate this classification by the Procuring Entity, the tenderer shall complete whichever version
of the Price Schedule furnished in the Tendering document is appropriate, provided however, that the
completion of an in correct version of the Price Schedule by the Tenderer shall not result in rejection of its
Tender, but merely in the Procuring Entity's reclassification of the Tender into its appropriate Tender group.
5.4 The Tenders in each group will then be compared to determine the Tender with the lowest evaluated
cost in that group. The lowest evaluated cost Tender from each group shall then be comparedwith each
other and if as a result of this comparison a Tender from Group A or Group B is the lowest, it shall be
selected for the award.
5.5 If as a result of the preceding comparison, a Tender from Group C is the lowest evaluated cost, an
amount equal to or 15% of the respective tender price, including unconditional discounts and excluding
provisional sums, ifany, shall be added to the evaluated price offered in each tender from Group C. If the
tender from Group C is still the lowest tender, it shall be selected for award. If not, the lowest evaluated
tender from

Price Adjustment
Where the Contract Period (excluding the Defects Liability Period) exceeds eighteen (18) months, it is normal procedure that
prices payable to the Contractor shall be subject to adjustment during the performance of the Contract to reflect changes
occurring in the cost of labor and material components. In such cases the Tendering document shall include in this form a
formula of the following general type, pursuant to SCC Sub-Clause11.2.
Where Contracts are of a shorter duration than eighteen (18) months or in cases where there is to be no Price Adjustment, the

56
Sample Price Adjustment Formula
If in accordance with GCC 11.2, prices shall be adjustable, the following method shall be used to calculate
the price adjustment:
Prices payable to the Contractor, in accordance with the Contract, shall be subject to adjustment during
performance of the Contract to reflect changes in the cost of labor and material components, in
accordance with the following formula:
L1 M 1
P1 P (a b c P0
L0 M0
respectively
N.B. a + b + c= 100%.
The Tenderer shall indicate the source of labor, source of exchange rate and materials indices and the
base date indices in its Tender.
The base date shall be the date thirty (30) days prior to the Tender closing date.
The date of adjustment shall be the mid-point of the period of manufacture or installation of
component or Plant. The following conditions shall apply:
No price increase will be allowed beyond the original delivery date unless covered by an extension of time
awarded by the Procuring Entity under the terms of the Contract. No price increase will be allowed for
periods of delay for which the Contractor is responsible. The Procuring Entity will, however, be entitled to
any price decrease occurring during such periods of delay.
If the currency in which the Contract price, P0, is expressed is different from the currency of the country
of origin of the labor and/or materials indices, a correction factor will be applied to avoid incorrect
adjustments of the Contract price. The correction factor shall be: Z0/Z1, were,
Z0=the number of units of currency of the origin of the indices which equal to one unit of the
currency of the Contract Price P0 on the Base date, and
Z1=the number of units of currency of the origin of the indices which equal to one unit of the
currency of the Contract Price P0 on the Date of Adjustment.
No price adjustment shall be payable on the portion of the Contract price paid to the Contractor as
an advance payment.

and subsequently require, that the Project Manager order the Contractor from time to time during
the performance of the Contract to make any change, modification, addition or deletion to, in or
from the Facilities here in after called “Change”, provided that such Change falls within the general
scope of the Facilities and does not constitute unrelated work and that it is technically practicable,
taking into account both the state of advancement of the Facilities and the technical compatibility

proposal demonstrates benefits that: accelerates the delivery period; or reduces the Contract Price
or the life cycle costs to the Procuring Entity; or improves the quality, efficiency, safety or sustain
ability of the Facilities; or yields any other benefits to the Procuring Entity, without compromising
the necessary functions of the Facilities. If the value engineering proposal is approved by the
Procuring Entity and results in: a reduction of the Contract Price; the amount to be paid to the
Contractor shall be the percentage specified in the SCC of the reduction in the Contract Price; or an
increase in the Contract Price; but results in a reduction in life cycle costs due to any benefit
described in (a) to (d) above, the amount to be paid to the Contractor shall be the full increase in

as originally set for thin Article 2 (Contract Price) of the Contract Agreement by more than fifteen
percent (15%), the Contractor may give a written notice of objection there to prior to furnishing
the Change Proposal as aforesaid. If the Procuring Entity accepts the Contractor's objection, the
Procuring Entity shall withdraw the proposed Change and shall notify the Contractor in writing
thereof.
The Contractor's failure to so object shall neither affect its right to object to any subsequent
requested Changes or Change Orders here in, nor affect its right to take in to account, when making
such subsequent objection, the percentage increase or decrease in the Contract Price that any
Change not objected to by the Contractor represents.
39.1.6 Upon receipt of the Change Proposal, the Procuring Entity and the Contractor shall mutually agree
upon all matters therein contained. Within fourteen (14) days after such agreement, the Procuring
Entity shall, if it intends to proceed with the Change, issue the Contractor with a Change Order.

the said period of fourteen (14) days, notify the Contractor accordingly. Under such circumstances,
the Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs reasonably incurred by it in the
preparation of the Change Proposal, provided that these do not exceed the amount given by the
Contractor in its Estimate for Change Proposal submitted in accordance with GCC Sub-Clause
39.2.2.

equitable adjustment to the Time for Completion, or any other matters identified in the Change
Proposal, the Procuring Entity may nevertheless instruct the Contractor to proceed with the Change
by issue of a “Pending Agreement Change Order.”
Upon receipt of a Pending Agreement Change Order, the Contractor shall immediately proceed with
effecting the Changes covered by such Order. The Parties shall there after attempt to reach
agreement on the outstanding issues under the Change Proposal.
If the Parties cannot reach agreement within sixty (60) days from the date of issue of the Pending
Agreement Change Order, then the matter may be referred to the Dispute Board in accordance
with the provisions of GCC Sub-Clause 46.1.
39.1.9 If the Contractor proposes a Change pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 39.1.2, the Contractor shall
submit to the Project Manager a written “Application for Change Proposal,” giving reasons for the
proposed Change and including the information specified in GCC Sub-Clause 39.1.2.
39.1.10 Upon receipt of the Application for Change Proposal, the Parties shall follow the procedures outlined
in GCC Sub-Clauses 39.2.6 and 39.2.7. However, the Contractor shall not be entitled to recover the
costs of preparing the Application for Change Proposal.

suspension order given by the Project Manager, other than by reason of the Contractor's default
or breach of the Contract, the Contractor's performance of any of its obligations is suspended for
an aggregate period of more than ninety (90) days, then at any time there after and providedthat
at that time such performance is still suspended, the Contractor may give a notice to the Project

components. In such cases the Tendering document shall include in this Appendix 2 a formula of the
following general type, pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 11.2.
Where Contracts are of a shorter duration than eighteen (18) months or in cases where there is to be
no Price Adjustment, the following provision shall not be included. Instead, it shall be indicated
under this Appendix 2 that the prices are to remain firm and fixed for the duration of the Contract.
If in accordance with GCC 11.2, prices shall be adjustable, the following method shall be used to calculate
the price adjustment:
Prices payable to the Contractor, in accordance with the Contract, shall be subject to adjustment during
performance of the Contract to reflect changes in the cost of labor and material components, in accordance
with the following formula:
P1 P0 (a b L1 c M 1 P0
L0 M0
in which:
P1 = adjustment amount payable to the Contractor
L0, L1 = labor indices applicable to the appropriate industry in the country of origin on the base date and the date
foradjustment, respectively
M0, M1= material and equipment indices in the country of origin on the base date and the date for
adjustment,respectively
N.B. a+b+c= 100%.
The Tenderer shall indicate the source of labor and materials indices, source of exchange rates and the base
date indicesin its Tender.
133
The base date shall be the date twenty-eight (28) days prior to the Tender closing date.
The date of adjustment shall be the mid-point of the period of manufacture or installation of
No price increase will be allowed beyond the original delivery date unless covered by an extension of time
awarded by the Procuring Entity under the terms of the Contract. No price increase will be allowed for

price decrease occurring during such periods of delay.
If the currency in which the Contract price, P0, is expressed is different from the currency of the country of
origin of the labor and/or materials indices, a correction factor will be applied to avoid incorrect adjustments of
the Contract price. The correction factor shall be: Z0 / Z1, where,
Z0 = the number of units of currency of the origin of the indices which equal to one unit of the currency of
the Contract Price P0 on the Base date, and
Z1 = the number of units of currency of the origin of the indices which equal to one unit of the currency of the
Contract Price P0 on the Date of Adjustment.
No price adjustment shall be payable on the portion of the Contract price paid to the Contractor as
an advance payment.
