Preface
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
29
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.

Section VIII. Bill of Quantities
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.
Provisional Sums
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.
