substantial way the scope, qualify, completion timing or administration of the Works to
be undertaken by the tenderer under the Contract, or which limits in any substantial way
inconsistent with the tender documents, the Employer’s rights or the tenderers obligations
under the Contract and the rectification of which would affect unfairly the competitive
position of other tenderers who have presented substantially responsive tenders.
3.23.6 Each price or unit rate inserted in their Bills of Quantities shall be a realistic estimate of
the cost of completing the works described under the particular item including allowance
for overheads, profits and the like. Should a tender be seriously unbalanced in relation to
the Employer’s estimate of the works to be performed under any item or groups of items,
the tender shall be deemed not responsive.
3.23.7 A tender determined to be not substantially responsive will be rejected by the Employer
and may not subsequently be made responsive by the tenderer by correction of the non-
conforming deviation or reservation
3.24 Correction of Errors
Tenders determined to be substantially responsive shall be checked by the Employer for

any arithmetic errors in the computations and summations. Errors will be corrected by
the Employer as follows:
(a) Where there is a discrepancy between the amount in figures and the amount in
words, the amount in words will govern.
(b) Where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting
from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will prevail,
unless in the opinion of the Employer, there is an obvious typographical error, in
which case adjustment will be made to the entry containing that error.
(c) The amount stated in the tender will be adjusted in accordance with the above
procedure for the correction of errors and, with concurrence of the tenderer, shall
be considered as binding upon the tenderer. If the tenderer does not accept the
corrected amount, the tender may be rejected and the Tender Security may be
forfeited in accordance with clause 3.13.
3.25 Conversion to Single Currency
3.25.1 For comparison of tenders, the tender price shall first be broken down into the
respective amounts payable in various currencies by using the selling rate or rates of the
Central Bank of Kenya ruling on the date twenty one (21) days before the final date for
the submission of tenders.
3.25.2 The Employer will convert the amounts in various currencies in which the tender is

(b) Excluding Provisional Sums and provision, if any, for Contingencies in their
Bills of Quantities, but including Day works where priced competitively.
3.26.3 The Employer reserves the right to accept any variation, deviation or alternative offer.

requirements of the tender documents or otherwise result in the accrual of unsolicited
benefits to the Employer, shall not be taken into account in tender evaluation.
3.26.4 Price adjustment provisions in the Conditions of Contract applied over the period of
execution of the Contract shall not be taken into account in tender evaluation.
3.26.5 If the lowest evaluated tender is seriously unbalanced or front loaded in relation to the
Employer’s estimate of the items of work to be performed under the Contract, the
Employer may require the tenderer to produce detailed price analyses for any or all
items of their Bills of Quantities, to demonstrate the relationship between those prices,
proposed construction methods and schedules. After evaluation of the price analyses,
the Employer may require that the amount of the Performance Security set forth in
clause 3.29 be increased at the expense of the successful tenderer to a level sufficient to
protect the Employer against financial loss in the event of subsequent default of the
successful tenderer under the Contract.
3.26.6 Firms incorporated in Kenya where indigenous Kenya’s own 51% or more of the share
capital shall be allowed a 20% preferential bias provided that they do not sub-contract
work valued at more than 50% of the Contract Price excluding Provisional Sums to a

3. Financial Score
45
A) PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS
The preliminary examination in the Financial Evaluation shall be in accordance with clause 26 of
Instruction to Tenderers.
The parameter to be considered under this section includes the following:

a) Arithmetic errors and comparison of rates
(1) Arithmetic Errors
The bid shall be checked for arithmetic errors based on the rates and the total sums indicated
in the bills of quantities.
a) Confirmation shall be sought in writing from the tenderers whose tender sums will be
determined to have a significant arithmetic error to their disadvantage, to confirm
whether they stand by their tender sums.
Non-compliance with the above shall lead to automatic disqualification from further

(2) Comparison of rates

The evaluation committee will compare rates from different bidders and note consistency of rates
and front loading. The evaluation committee will judge and make an appropriate decision giving
evidence.
(3) Financial Score

The financial score (Fs) will be determined by comparing tender sums from all responsive
bidders using the formulae below. The financial score will be allocated a maximum of 30%.
Fs = 30 x Fm/F
Where Fs is the financial score, Fm is the lowest priced responsive financial bid and F is the
price of the bid under consideration
STAGE 4 - FINAL SCORE

The total score will be combined sums of Technical, Tender Sums Comparison and Financial
marks as below:
Technical (Ts) +Financial (Fs)

= Ts+Fs

Design Builder: The individual or business entity that has entered into this Contract with
Employer.
Proposal: The Technical and Financial Proposal packages submitted by the Proposers on the
bid date.
Candidate: Any person or business entity acting directly or through an authorized

representative who submits a Proposal for the work. “Candidate”, Bidder” and Tenderer are
synonymous.
Request For Proposal (RFP): The documents submitted by the Employer to the “Candidates”
describing and specifying the requirements of the work/project.
Supplier or Vendor: Any individual or business entity that contracts with the Design Builder to
provide materials or equipment.
2.0 PROPOSALS
2.01 Duty to carefully examine these instructions
Prospective Candidates for this project shall examine carefully the instructions contained herein
and be satisfied with the conditions that must be satisfied prior to submitting a proposal and to the
conditions that affect the award of the contract.
2.02 Necessity for Careful Examination of Site, Plans, Specifications
The Candidate shall carefully examine the project site and shall investigate and be satisfied as to
the conditions to be encountered, the character and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or
obstacles to be encountered, rights of way and easements at or near the site, the work to be
performed, and the materials to be furnished as required by the RFP.
Any failure by the Candidate to acquaint itself with information that is available or with reasonable
investigations that may be available will not relieve it from responsibility to properly estimate the
difficulty or cost to perform the work. Such examination does not require independent
underground soil borings unless required elsewhere.
a. Subsurface Investigations
Where the Employer has made investigations of subsurface conditions and has made that
information available to Candidates, such information is limited in scope to that which has
been actually encountered in the investigations, and is included only for the convenience of
the Candidate.
51
The Employer assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the sufficiency or
accuracy of borings or of the log of test borings, or other preliminary investigations, or any
interpretation of the above. There is no guarantee or warranty, either expressed or implied,
that the conditions indicated are representative of those existing throughout the site, or any
part of it, or that unforeseen conditions or developments may not occur.
Making such information available to Candidates is not to be construed in any way as a

waiver of this provision. Candidates must satisfy themselves through their own
investigations as to the actual conditions to be encountered.
b. Differing Site Condition
During the progress of the works, if a subsurface or latent condition is encountered at the
site that is substantially different from those indicated in the RFP or made available for
examination, a differing site condition may exist. The Design-Builder shall immediately
notify the Project Manager in writing of the differing site condition.
The Project Manager shall investigate the assertion of a differing site condition by
collecting the facts and applying the facts to the appropriate provisions of the contract
documents.
If the Project Manager in the exercise of reasonable discretion determines that a differing
site condition exists and that the differing site condition directly results in extra work, the
Design-Builder shall be entitled to a variation order, which shall compensate the Design-
Builder for the extra work.
2.03 Clarification during Tendering
The Candidate shall examine the RFP documents in preparing the tender and shall report to
the Project Manager any omissions, discrepancies, or apparent errors found in RFP. Prior
to the date of tender opening, the Candidate shall submit a written request for clarification
to the Project Manager who may give such clarification in the form of addenda to all
Candidates.
Only the project Manager is authorized to answer questions or prepare addenda relating to
the project. Information obtained from any other source shall not bind either party, may
not be relied upon and shall have no standing in any event that may occur.
2.04 Proposal Documents
Each proposal will consist of two separate submittals, the Financial Proposal and the
Technical Proposal.
52
a) Proposal Package
Any proposal submitted that is not signed by the Candidate or by the Candidate’s duly
authorized representative shall be rejected by the Employer as non-responsive.
b) Power of Attorney or Agent
When an agent signs proposal, a power of attorney shall either be on file with the Employer
prior to the opening of proposals, or be submitted with the proposal. Failure to submit the
power of attorney may result in the rejection of the proposal as irregular and unauthorized.
A power of attorney is not necessary in the case of a partner in a partnership.
2.05 Competitive Tendering
If more than one proposal is offered by an individual or business entity or combination

thereof, under the same or different names, all such proposals may be rejected. A party
who has quoted prices on materials or work to a Proposer is not thereby disqualified from
quoting prices to other Proposers, or from submitting a proposal directly for the materials
or work.

4.06 Occupancy by Employer Prior to Acceptance
The Employer reserves the right to occupy all or any part of the project prior to completion
of the entire contract, upon issuance of a written contract change order therefore.
In such event, the Design-Builder shall be relieved of responsibility for any injury or
damage to such occupied part as results from the Employer’s occupancy and use.
If the Design-Builder carries insurance against damage to such premises or against liability
to third persons covering the premises so used and occupied by the Employer and if such
occupancy results in increased premiums for such insurance, the Employer will pay to the
Design-Builder the added premium costs for such insurance during the period of
occupancy.
The Occupancy change order shall be the vehicle for such payment, if applicable.
The Employer’s occupancy shall not constitute acceptance by the Employer either of the
project as completed or of any portion thereof, nor will it relieve the Design-Builder of full
responsibility for correcting defective work or materials found at any time before the
formal written acceptance of the project as completed by the Employer and during the full
guarantee period after such acceptance, nor does it stop the assessment of liquidated
damages.

4.0 INTERPRETATION OF AND ADHERENCE TO CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS
5.01 Interpretation of Contract Requirements
(a) Correlation
Contract documents shall be interpreted as being complementary, requiring a

complete project.
Any requirement occurring in any one of the contract documents is as binding as

though occurring in all contract documents.
Generally, the specifications address quality, types of materials and contract

conditions while the drawings show placement, sizes and fabrication details of
materials.
(b) Conflicts
In the event of conflict in the contract documents, the following priorities shall
govern:
69
(i) Addenda shall govern over all other contract documents and subsequent
addenda shall govern over prior addenda only to the extent modified.
(ii) “Contract Conditions” shall govern over all sections of the specifications.

(i) If the contract documents are not complete as to any minor detail of a required
construction system or with regard to the manner of combining or installing of
parts, materials or equipment, but there exists an accepted trade standard for good
and skilful construction, such detail shall be deemed to be an implied requirement
of the contract documents in accordance with such standard.
“Minor Detail” shall include the concept of substantially identical components,

where the price of each such component is small even though the aggregate cost or
importance is substantial and shall include a single component that is incidental
even though its cost or importance may be substantial.

additional detailed instructions shall be revised or the extra work authorized by contract
change order or by Site Instruction with a change order to follow.
If the Employer decides that the claim is not justified the Employer shall give the Design-
Builder a written order that the claim is not justified and direct the Design-Builder to
perform such work.
The Design-Builder shall proceed with the work upon receipt from the Employer of a
written order to do so, in accordance with the Employer’s interpretation of the contract
requirements, but within seven days of receipt of the order, the Design-Builder must notify
the Employer by letter that it protests the decision.

change exceeds 1 percent of the Initial Contract price, the Project Manager shall
adjust the rate to allow for the change.
21.3 If requested by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall provide the Project
Manager with a detailed cost breakdown of any rate in their Bills of Quantities.
22. Variations
22.1 All variations shall be included in updated programs produced by the Contractor.

quotation, which shall be given within seven days of the request or within any
longer period as may be stated by the Project Manager and before the Variation is
ordered.
22.3 If the work in the variation corresponds with an item description in their Bills of
Quantities and if in the opinion of the Project Manager, the quantity of work is not
above the limit stated in Clause 21.2 or the timing of its execution does not cause
the cost per unit of quantity to change, the rate in their Bills of Quantities shall be
used to calculate the value of the variation. If the cost per unit of quantity
changes, or if the nature or timing of the work in the variation does not
correspond with items in their Bills of Quantities, the quotation by the Contractor
shall be in the form of new rates for the relevant items of Work.
22.4 If the Contractor’s quotation is unreasonable, the Project Manager may order the
variation and make a change to the Contract price, which shall be based on the
Project Manager’s own forecast of the effects of the variation on the Contractor’s
costs.
22.5 If the Project Manager decides that the urgency of varying the Work would
prevent a quotation being given and considered without delaying the Work, no
quotation shall be given and the variation shall be treated as a Compensation
Event.

have been avoided by giving early warning.
86

determined by the Project Manager.
23.2 The value of Work executed shall comprise the value of the quantities of the items
in their Bills of Quantities completed; materials delivered on Site, variations and
compensation events. Such materials shall become the property of the Employer
once the Employer has paid the Contractor for their value. Thereafter, they shall
not be removed from Site without the Project Manager’s instructions except for
use upon the Works.
23.3 Payments shall be adjusted for deductions for retention. The Employer shall pay
the Contractor the amounts certified by the Project Manager within 30 days of the
date of issue of each certificate. If the Employer makes a late payment, the
Contractor shall be paid simple interest on the late payment in the next payment.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of number of days delayed at a rate three
percentage points above the Central Bank of Kenya’s average rate for base
lending prevailing as of the first day the payment becomes overdue.
23.4 If an amount certified is increased in a later certificate or as a result of an award

by an Arbitrator, the Contractor shall be paid interest upon the delayed payment
as set out in this clause. Interest shall be calculated from the date upon which the
increased amount would have been certified in the absence of dispute.
23.5 Items of the Works for which no rate or price has been entered in will not be paid
for by the Employer and shall be deemed covered by other rates and prices in the
Contract.
23.6 The Contract Price shall be stated in Kenya Shillings. All payments to the

amount of foreign currency payment shall be the rate of exchange indicated in the
Appendix to Conditions of Contract. If the Contractor indicated foreign
currencies for payment other than the currencies of the countries of origin of
related goods and services the Employer reserves the right to pay the equivalent at
87
the time of payment in the currencies of the countries of such goods and services.
The Employer and the Project Manager shall be notified promptly by the
Contractor of an changes in the expected foreign currency requirements of the
Contractor during the execution of the Works as indicated in the Schedule of
Foreign Currency Requirements and the foreign and local currency portions of the
balance of the Contract Price shall then be amended by agreement between
Employer and the Contractor in order to reflect appropriately such changes.
23.7 In the event that an advance payment is granted, the following shall apply:-
a) On signature of the Contract, the Contractor shall at his request, and

without furnishing proof of expenditure, be entitled to an advance of 10%
(ten percent) of the original amount of the Contract. The advance shall not
be subject to retention money.
b) No advance payment may be made before the Contractor has submitted

proof of the establishment of deposit or a directly liable guarantee
satisfactory to the Employer in the amount of the advance payment. The
guarantee shall be in the same currency as the advance.
c) Reimbursement of the lump sum advance shall be made by deductions

from the Interim payments and where applicable from the balance owing
to the Contractor. Reimbursement shall begin when the amount of the
sums due under the Contract reaches 20% of the original amount of the
Contract. It shall have been completed by the time 80% of this amount is
reached.
The amount to be repaid by way of successive deductions shall be calculated by means of

the formula:
R = A(x1 – x11)
80 – 20
Where:
R = the amount to be reimbursed
A = the amount of the advance which has been granted
X1 = the amount of proposed cumulative payments as a
percentage of the original amount of the Contract. This
figure will exceed 20% but not exceed 80%.
X11 = the amount of the previous cumulative payments as a
percentage of the original amount of the Contract. This
figure will be below 80%but not less than 20%.
d) With each reimbursement the counterpart of the directly liable guarantee

may be reduced accordingly.

increased and/or the Intended Completion Date shall be extended. The Project
Manager shall decide whether and by how much the Contract Price shall be
89
increased and whether and by how much the Intended Completion Date shall be
extended.

debris to be cleared away before commencement. No claim will be allowed for traveling or other
expenses which may be incurred by the Bidder in visiting the site.
 Site Clearance
Site clearance shall include clearing the site of all debris, rubble, deleterious material, rubbish,
unwanted bushes, undergrowth vegetation, as well as grubbing up old roots and removal of the
mentioned stuff from site, i.e. carting away from the site.
 Site Excavation
Overall site excavations shall be executed by ploughing or hoeing, and are to be carried out to an
average depth of 150mm, as described in the Bills of Quantities. The Project Manager may
however order deeper excavations where site conditions dictate.
 Grading and Levelling

Grading and levelling of planting areas shall involve both rough and fine grading.
117
a) Rough Grading
This shall entail breaking excavated soil lumps and freeing the soil of turf, weeds, rubbish,
stones, debris, rubble, sticks, roots and any deleterious material excavated from the site. It shall
also include levelling the soil and collecting the aforementioned waste together and carting away
from site.
b) Fine Grading
Upon completion of rough grading, the Bidder shall perform all fine grading required, as
described in planting areas and shall include raking and fine levellingof the ground ready to
receive a mixture of red soil and farmyard manure. The Bidder must ensure that all natural slopes
of the land avoid any dishing or other depressions where water may collect.
 Soil Preparation
This shall involve mixing of top/red soil and farmyard at specified ratios ready for application on
planting areas and pits.
 Top/Red Soil
Imported top/red soil shall be fertile and sourced from depths not exceeding 600mm. It shall be
free of stones, debris, rubble, roots, sticks, grass, weeds and any deleterious material. No soils
shall be used on the gardens until they are approved by the Project Manager. Accordingly, soils
that do not meet the above-mentioned conditions shall be rejected and removed from site at the
Bidder’s cost.
 Farmyard Manure
Manure to be used in the garden/planting areas and pits shall be well rotten, matured with no
domestic refuse or waste foods, and be approved by the Project Manager.
 Preparation of Red soil/ Manure Mixture

areas the level of topsoil is to be 25 mm above all paved edges below the finished floor level of
buildings where directly abutting the walls.
 Finishing Grading
The Bidder shall grade the topsoil to the approved standard. All subsoil will be broken up as
described and the Bidder must remove from site all stones, debris, roots, timber and any other
foreign objects larger than 100mm in any dimension which might be uncovered.
Final grading and levelling of the top is to be executed by raking to ensure a fine and true
specified level and slope; and also to avoid dishing or other depressions where water may collect.
Under no circumstances must the Bidder carry out these works when the soil is in a saturated or
unworkable condition.
The Bidder is also to check that the reduced levels in all planting areas are satisfactory prior to
commencing any landscape works.
All raised planters shall be backfilled with specified top-soil and manure mix to within 50mm of

Prior to installation of the tree/shrub, the Bidder shall loosen the base of the pits to a depth of
150mm to allow penetration of moisture.
He/she shall also provide strong bamboo stakes or any approved equal, adequate in thickness for
each tree and generally between 30mm and 50mm diameter. The height of each stake should be
no less than 600mm higher than the shrub/tree. These should be driven into the base of planting
pits or holes before backfilling though can also be driven into the planting pit after
backfilling/planting but the stakes should go into the ground at least 600mm deep. Care must
however be exercised so as not to damage the tree while driving in the stake into the ground.
Fill to proper height with the specified red-soil and manure mixture in the ratios prescribed by
the Project Manager and water well, and then allow the same to settle for 3 days before planting.
126
 Setting of Shrubs and Trees
Partially dig out some backfill mixture from each backfilled tree/shrub pit to allow for placement
of the shrub/tree. The partially dug out pits should have a sufficient width and depth adequate to
accept the shrub/tree root ball.
Carefully remove the root ball from its container so as to cause minimum disturbance to the
fibrous roots and set plant in upright position in the center of partially dug out pits, and then
compact the backfill mixture around the root ball. Ensure that the shrubs/trees are planted at the
same depth at which they were previously growing. Accordingly, ensure that the stem base is
slightly above ground level, in order to allow for any latent settlement. Further, the Bidder will
be required to make any necessary adjustments to plants in order to correct any sinkage or effects
due to weather conditions.
Thoroughly water each plant when the pit or hole is 2/3 full. After watering, completely backfill
each shrub or tree pit and tamp the soil in place until the surface of the backfill is level with the
surrounding areas. Clear up any excess topsoil/manure mixture for re-use elsewhere on the site.
Build up a temporary-watering basin or ‘’saucer’’ around the base of each tree and shrub to
allow for optimal water flow towards roots. Place a layer of 50mm dried grass leaf cutting over
the soil in the prepared ‘’saucers’’ and cover that whole area to reduce moisture loss during hot
weather.
Securely tie the shrub or tree firmly to the bamboo stakes or any approved equal with strong
band near the top of the stakes with Hessian wrapped around the tree stem. All trees/shrubs to
have two number ties each fixed to approved methods and standards. The Bidder must ensure
that the stake does not chafe or scratch the tree stem, especially in windy conditions.
 Watering of Installed Plants

Planting programmes for all plants is generally to coincide with rainy seasons. Nevertheless, the
Bidder will be required to water all planting areas including backfilled tree pits and shrub beds as
necessary or as directed by the Project Manager. This is critical especially during planting
operations.

Manager. The maintenance period shall be six (6) months from the date of practical completion.
 General Maintenance Practices
Generally, the Bidder shall keep planted or landscaped areas neat, attractive and free of weeds
and diseases during the maintenance period.
a) Grass
The grass should be mown regularly during the growing season. In dry season mow to 50 mm in
heights and in the wet season mow to 25mm in height.
It shall also be weeded regularly to prevent it from being choked by weeds. The edges of the
lawn must be trimmed and kept tidy to prevent the grass from creeping into shrub beds. This
shall be done with edging shears and not a panga. The lawn should meet shrubs with no expanse
of bare soil in between.
b) Groundcovers, Shrubs and Trees

Maintenance work for these categories of plants shall entail but not limited to watering, weeding,
and control of insects, fungus and other disease. This shall be done by the means of spraying
with an approved insecticide and other fungicide in order to keep the plant materials in a healthy
growing condition.
The Bidder shall also provide all equipment and means for carrying out maintenance work
including hose pipes for proper application of water to those areas not equipped with any
watering systems. He/she shall further protect all planted areas against damage, including erosion
and trespassing, by providing and maintaining proper safeguards.
128
 Special Maintenance Practices
a) Shrubs & Trees
 Pruning and Repairs
Upon completion of planting work on the contract, shrubs/trees may be pruned and any injuries
repaired, where necessary. The amount of pruning shall be limited to the minimum necessary to
remove dead or injured twigs and branches and compensate for the loss of roots as a result of
transplanting operations. Pruning shall be done in such a manner as not to change the natural
habit or shape of the trees.
All cuts should be made flush leaving no stubs. On all cuts over 75 mm diameter and on bruises
or scars on the bark, the injured cambium shall be smoothed and shall be so as living tissue and
removed. Wounds shall be smoothed and shall be so as not to retain water and the treated area
shall be coated with Arbex or other approved tree wound paint.
b) Grass
 Top Dressing
This is to be done in April after the first rains and to be repeated in October after the start of the
rains.
Apply a top dressing of 4 part red topsoil and half-clean sand (well mixed together) to the lawn
to a depth of half inch.
Rake top dressing over lawn and use it to fill any uneven patches. If there is no rain, water
heavily after the application. Repeat top dressing application in October after the start of the
rains.
 Application of Compound Fertilizer
In June / July, apply a compound chemical fertilizer (20-10-10) and bone meal mixed together.
This can be done by hand at a rate of 2 tablespoons per square meter.
 Application of Ammonium Sulphate

Every two to three months apply Ammonium Sulphate at a rate of 1 tablespoon per square meter
and then water thoroughly after application.
129
NOTE: Heavy watering after application of fertilizer is essential to prevent “burning”.
 Aeration
Apply a layer of coarse sand 5mm deep in March to improve aeration. Spike the lawns with a
spiked roller to aerate the lawn, holes should be spaced 100mm apart throughout the whole lawn.
Do not spike in very wet weather or very dry weather.
 Replacement of Dead Plants

At the end of the maintenance period, all plant material shall be in a healthy growing condition.
In the event of any probability of drying, immediately replace the affected plant with a new and
healthy one of the same type and size, without any additional cost to the Employer/Client.
 Extension of Maintenance Period

The Bidder will be expected to continue with the maintenance at no additional cost to the
employer until all previously noted deficiencies have been rectified, at which time the final
inspection will be carried out and landscaped areas handed over to the Client.
