PROJECTS
Government of the Republic of the Philippines
Sixth Edition
July 2020
Preface
These Philippine Bidding Documents (PBDs) for the procurement of Infrastructure

Projects (hereinafter referred to also as the “Works”) through Competitive Bidding have been
prepared by the Government of the Philippines for use by all branches, agencies, departments,
bureaus, offices, or instrumentalities of the government, including government-owned and/or
-controlled corporations, government financial institutions, state universities and colleges,
local government units, and autonomous regional government. The procedures and practices
presented in this document have been developed through broad experience, and are for
mandatory use in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the Government of the
Philippines or any foreign government/foreign or international financing institution in
accordance with the provisions of the 2016 revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184.
The PBDs are intended as a model for admeasurements (unit prices or unit rates in a
bill of quantities) types of contract, which are the most common in Works contracting.
The Bidding Documents shall clearly and adequately define, among others: (i) the
objectives, scope, and expected outputs and/or results of the proposed contract; (ii) the
eligibility requirements of Bidders; (iii) the expected contract duration; and (iv) the obligations,
duties, and/or functions of the winning Bidder.
Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the PBDs against the
requirements of the specific Works to be procured. If duplication of a subject is inevitable in
other sections of the document prepared by the Procuring Entity, care must be exercised to
avoid contradictions between clauses dealing with the same matter.
Moreover, each section is prepared with notes intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They shall not be included in
the final documents. The following general directions should be observed when using the
documents:
a. All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for the
procurement of Infrastructure Projects. However, they should be adapted as
necessary to the circumstances of the particular Project.
b. Specific details, such as the “name of the Procuring Entity” and “address for
bid submission,” should be furnished in the Instructions to Bidders, Bid Data
Sheet, and Special Conditions of Contract. The final documents should contain
neither blank spaces nor options.
c. This Preface and the footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation to
Bid, BDS, General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions of Contract,
Specifications, Drawings, and Bill of Quantities are not part of the text of the
final document, although they contain instructions that the Procuring Entity
should strictly follow.
1
d. The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding Documents as
to the names of the Project, Contract, and Procuring Entity, in addition to date
of issue.
e. Modifications for specific Procurement Project details should be provided in the

Special Conditions of Contract as amendments to the Conditions of Contract.
For easy completion, whenever reference has to be made to specific clauses in
the Bid Data Sheet or Special Conditions of Contract, these terms shall be
printed in bold typeface on Sections I (Instructions to Bidders) and III (General
Conditions of Contract), respectively.
f. For guidelines on the use of Bidding Forms and the procurement of Foreign-
Assisted Projects, these will be covered by a separate issuance of the
Government Procurement Policy Board.

Matters governing performance of the Contractor, payments under the contract, or matters
affecting the risks, rights, and obligations of the parties under the contract are included in
the GCC and Special Conditions of Contract.
Any complementary information, which may be needed, shall be introduced only through
the Special Conditions of Contract.
19
1. Scope of Contract
This Contract shall include all such items, although not specifically mentioned, that can
be reasonably inferred as being required for its completion as if such items were
expressly mentioned herein. All the provisions of RA No. 9184 and its 2016 revised
IRR, including the Generic Procurement Manual, and associated issuances, constitute
the primary source for the terms and conditions of the Contract, and thus, applicable in
contract implementation. Herein clauses shall serve as the secondary source for the
terms and conditions of the Contract.
This is without prejudice to Sections 74.1 and 74.2 of the 2016 revised IRR of RA No.
9184 allowing the GPPB to amend the IRR, which shall be applied to all procurement
activities, the advertisement, posting, or invitation of which were issued after the
effectivity of the said amendment.

references in the Conditions of Contract to the Works, the Completion Date, and the
Intended Completion Date shall apply to any Section of the Works (other than
references to the Completion Date and Intended Completion Date for the whole of the
Works).
3. Possession of Site
4.1. The Procuring Entity shall give possession of all or parts of the Site to the
Contractor based on the schedule of delivery indicated in the SCC, which
corresponds to the execution of the Works. If the Contractor suffers delay or
incurs cost from failure on the part of the Procuring Entity to give possession in
accordance with the terms of this clause, the Procuring Entity’s Representative
shall give the Contractor a Contract Time Extension and certify such sum as fair
to cover the cost incurred, which sum shall be paid by Procuring Entity.
4.2. If possession of a portion is not given by the above date, the Procuring Entity
will be deemed to have delayed the start of the relevant activities. The resulting
adjustments in contract time to address such delay may be addressed through
contract extension provided under Annex “E” of the 2016 revised IRR of RA
No. 9184.
4. The Contractor’s Obligations

The Contractor shall employ the key personnel named in the Schedule of Key Personnel
indicating their designation, in accordance with ITB Clause 10.3 and specified in the
BDS, to carry out the supervision of the Works.

their relevant qualifications and abilities are equal to or better than those of the
personnel listed in the Schedule.
5. Performance Security
20
5.1. Within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the Notice of Award from the
Procuring Entity but in no case later than the signing of the contract by both
parties, the successful Bidder shall furnish the performance security in any of
the forms prescribed in Section 39 of the 2016 revised IRR.
5.2. The Contractor, by entering into the Contract with the Procuring Entity,
acknowledges the right of the Procuring Entity to institute action pursuant to
RA No. 3688 against any subcontractor be they an individual, firm, partnership,
corporation, or association supplying the Contractor with labor, materials and/or
equipment for the performance of this Contract.
6. Site Investigation Reports

The Contractor, in preparing the Bid, shall rely on any Site Investigation Reports
referred to in the SCC supplemented by any information obtained by the Contractor.
7. Warranty
7.1. In case the Contractor fails to undertake the repair works under Section 62.2.2
of the 2016 revised IRR, the Procuring Entity shall forfeit its performance
security, subject its property(ies) to attachment or garnishment proceedings, and
perpetually disqualify it from participating in any public bidding. All payables
of the GOP in his favor shall be offset to recover the costs.
7.2. The warranty against Structural Defects/Failures, except that occasioned-on

force majeure, shall cover the period from the date of issuance of the Certificate
of Final Acceptance by the Procuring Entity. Specific duration of the warranty
is found in the SCC.
8. Liability of the Contractor

Subject to additional provisions, if any, set forth in the SCC, the Contractor’s liability
under this Contract shall be as provided by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.
If the Contractor is a joint venture, all partners to the joint venture shall be jointly and
severally liable to the Procuring Entity.
9. Termination for Other Causes

Contract termination shall be initiated in case it is determined prima facie by the
Procuring Entity that the Contractor has engaged, before, or during the implementation
of the contract, in unlawful deeds and behaviors relative to contract acquisition and
implementation, such as, but not limited to corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, and
obstructive practices as stated in ITB Clause 4.
10. Dayworks
21
Subject to the guidelines on Variation Order in Annex “E” of the 2016 revised IRR of
RA No. 9184, and if applicable as indicated in the SCC, the Dayworks rates in the
Contractor’s Bid shall be used for small additional amounts of work only when the
Procuring Entity’s Representative has given written instructions in advance for
additional work to be paid for in that way.
11. Program of Work

11.1. The Contractor shall submit to the Procuring Entity’s Representative for
approval the said Program of Work showing the general methods, arrangements,
order, and timing for all the activities in the Works. The submissions of the
Program of Work are indicated in the SCC.
11.2. The Contractor shall submit to the Procuring Entity’s Representative for
approval an updated Program of Work at intervals no longer than the period

withhold this amount until the next payment after the date on which the overdue
Program of Work has been submitted.
12. Instructions, Inspections and Audits

The Contractor shall permit the GOP or the Procuring Entity to inspect the Contractor’s
accounts and records relating to the performance of the Contractor and to have them
audited by auditors of the GOP or the Procuring Entity, as may be required.

23
Section V. Special Conditions of Contract
Notes on the Special Conditions of Contract

Similar to the BDS, the clauses in this Section are intended to assist the Procuring Entity in
providing contract-specific information in relation to corresponding clauses in the GCC
found in Section IV.
The Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) complement the GCC, specifying contractual
requirements linked to the special circumstances of the Procuring Entity, the Procuring
Entity’s country, the sector, and the Works procured. In preparing this Section, the following
aspects should be checked:
a. Information that complements provisions of the GCC must be incorporated.
b. Amendments and/or supplements to provisions of the GCC as necessitated by the

circumstances of the specific purchase, must also be incorporated.
However, no special condition which defeats or negates the general intent and purpose of
the provisions of the GCC should be incorporated herein.

25
Section VI. Specifications
Notes on Specifications
A set of precise and clear specifications is a prerequisite for Bidders to respond realistically and
competitively to the requirements of the Procuring Entity without qualifying or conditioning their
Bids. In the context of international competitive bidding, the specifications must be drafted to permit
the widest possible competition and, at the same time, present a clear statement of the required
standards of workmanship, materials, and performance of the goods and services to be procured.
Only if this is done will the objectives of economy, efficiency, and fairness in procurement be
realized, responsiveness of Bids be ensured, and the subsequent task of bid evaluation facilitated.
The specifications should require that all goods and materials to be incorporated in the Works be
new, unused, of the most recent or current models, and incorporate all recent improvements in design
and materials unless provided otherwise in the Contract.
Samples of specifications from previous similar projects are useful in this respect. The use of metric
units is mandatory. Most specifications are normally written specially by the Procuring Entity or its
representative to suit the Works at hand. There is no standard set of Specifications for universal
application in all sectors in all regions, but there are established principles and practices, which are
reflected in these PBDs.
There are considerable advantages in standardizing General Specifications for repetitive Works in
recognized public sectors, such as highways, ports, railways, urban housing, irrigation, and water
supply, in the same country or region where similar conditions prevail. The General Specifications
should cover all classes of workmanship, materials, and equipment commonly involved in
construction, although not necessarily to be used in a particular Works Contract. Deletions or
addenda should then adapt the General Specifications to the particular Works.
Care must be taken in drafting specifications to ensure that they are not restrictive. In the
specification of standards for goods, materials, and workmanship, recognized international standards
should be used as much as possible. Where other particular standards are used, whether national
standards or other standards, the specifications should state that goods, materials, and workmanship
that meet other authoritative standards, and which ensure substantially equal or higher quality than
the standards mentioned, will also be acceptable. The following clause may be inserted in the SCC.
Sample Clause: Equivalency of Standards and Codes
Wherever reference is made in the Contract to specific standards and codes to be met by the goods
and materials to be furnished, and work performed or tested, the provisions of the latest current
edition or revision of the relevant standards and codes in effect shall apply, unless otherwise
expressly stated in the Contract. Where such standards and codes are national, or relate to a particular
country or region, other authoritative standards that ensure a substantially equal or higher quality
than the standards and codes specified will be accepted subject to the Procuring Entity’s
Representative’s prior review and written consent. Differences between the standards specified and
the proposed alternative standards shall be fully described in writing by the Contractor and submitted
to the Procuring Entity’s Representative at least twenty-eight (28) days prior to the date when the
Contractor desires the Procuring Entity’s Representative’s consent. In the event the Procuring
Entity’s Representative determines that such proposed deviations do not ensure substantially equal
or higher quality, the Contractor shall comply with the standards specified in the documents.
These notes are intended only as information for the Procuring Entity or the person drafting the
Bidding Documents. They should not be included in the final Bidding Documents.
26
Section VII. Drawings
[Insert here a list of Drawings. The actual Drawings, including site plans, should be attached
to this section, or annexed in a separate folder.]
Please refer to attached plans.
27
Section VIII. Bill of Quantities
Notes on the Bill of Quantities

Objectives
The objectives of the Bill of Quantities are:
a. to provide sufficient information on the quantities of Works to be performed to

enable Bids to be prepared efficiently and accurately; and
b. when a Contract has been entered into, to provide a priced Bill of Quantities for use
in the periodic valuation of Works executed.
In order to attain these objectives, Works should be itemized in the Bill of Quantities in
sufficient detail to distinguish between the different classes of Works, or between Works of
the same nature carried out in different locations or in other circumstances which may give
rise to different considerations of cost. Consistent with these requirements, the layout and
content of the Bill of Quantities should be as simple and brief as possible.
Daywork Schedule
A Daywork Schedule should be included only if the probability of unforeseen work, outside
the items included in the Bill of Quantities, is high. To facilitate checking by the Entity of
the realism of rates quoted by the Bidders, the Daywork Schedule should normally comprise
the following:
a. A list of the various classes of labor, materials, and Constructional Plant for which
basic daywork rates or prices are to be inserted by the Bidder, together with a
statement of the conditions under which the Contractor will be paid for work
executed on a daywork basis.
b. Nominal quantities for each item of Daywork, to be priced by each Bidder at

Daywork rates as Bid. The rate to be entered by the Bidder against each basic
Daywork item should include the Contractor’s profit, overheads, supervision, and
other charges.
Provisional Sums
A general provision for physical contingencies (quantity overruns) may be made by

including a provisional sum in the Summary Bill of Quantities. Similarly, a contingency
allowance for possible price increases should be provided as a provisional sum in the
Summary Bill of Quantities. The inclusion of such provisional sums often facilitates
budgetary approval by avoiding the need to request periodic supplementary approvals as the
future need arises. Where such provisional sums or contingency allowances are used, the
SCC should state the manner in which they will be used, and under whose authority (usually
the Procuring Entity’s Representative’s).
28
The estimated cost of specialized work to be carried out, or of special goods to be supplied,
by other contractors should be indicated in the relevant part of the Bill of Quantities as a
particular provisional sum with an appropriate brief description. A separate procurement
procedure is normally carried out by the Procuring Entity to select such specialized
contractors. To provide an element of competition among the Bidders in respect of any
facilities, amenities, attendance, etc., to be provided by the successful Bidder as prime
Contractor for the use and convenience of the specialist contractors, each related provisional
sum should be followed by an item in the Bill of Quantities inviting the Bidder to quote a
sum for such amenities, facilities, attendance, etc.
Signature Box
A signature box shall be added at the bottom of each page of the Bill of Quantities where the
authorized representative of the Bidder shall affix his signature. Failure of the authorized
representative to sign each and every page of the Bill of Quantities shall be a cause for
rejection of his bid.
These Notes for Preparing a Bill of Quantities are intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They should not be included
in the final documents.
Please refer to attached schedule of Bid

Rates.
29
Section IX. Checklist of Technical and Financial
Documents
Notes on the Checklist of Technical and Financial Documents

The prescribed documents in the checklist are mandatory to be submitted in the Bid, but
shall be subject to the following:
a. GPPB Resolution No. 09-2020 on the efficient procurement measures during a State
of Calamity or other similar issuances that shall allow the use of alternate documents
in lieu of the mandated requirements; or
b. any subsequent GPPB issuances adjusting the documentary requirements after the
effectivity of the adoption of the PBDs.
The BAC shall be checking the submitted documents of each Bidder against this checklist
to ascertain if they are all present, using a non-discretionary “pass/fail” criterion pursuant to
Section 30 of the 2016 revised IRR of RA No. 9184.
