individually or in joint ventures. Applying for eligibility for Preference and reservations shall
supply all information required to satisfy the criteria for eligibility specified in accordance with ITT
33.1.
19.4 Tenderers shall be asked to provide, as part of the data for qualification, such information,
including details of ownership, as shall be required to determine whether, according to the
classification established by the Procuring Entity, a contractor or group of contractors qualifies for
a margin of preference. Further the information will enable the Procuring Entity identify any
actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to the procurement and/or contract
management processes, or a possibility of collusion between tenderers, and thereby help to
prevent any corrupt influence in relation to the procurement process or contract management.
19.5 The purpose of the information described in ITT 19.4 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 keep information relating to its ownership and control confidential
where it is tendering to undertake public sector work and receive public sector funds. Thus,
confidentiality will not be accepted by the Procuring Entity as a justification for a Tenderer's
failure to disclose, or failure to provide required information on its ownership and control.
19.6 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 the information which was provided by the tenderer under ITT 6.3. The obligations to
require this information shall continue for the duration of the procurement process and contract
performance and after completion of the contract, if any change to the information previously
provided may reveal a conflict of interest in relation to the award or management of the contract.
19.7 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.
19.8 If a tenderer fails to submit the information required by these requirements, its tender will be
18
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.
i) if the procurement process is still ongoing, the tenderer will be disqualified from the
procurement process,
ii) if the contract has been awarded to that tenderer, the contract award will be set aside,
iii) 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.
19.10 If a tenderer submits information pursuant to these requirements that is incomplete, 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.
20.1 Tenders shall remain valid for the Tender Validity period specified in the TDS. The Tender
Validity period starts from the date fixed for the Tender submission deadline (as prescribed by
the Procuring Entity in accordance with ITT 24). A Tender valid for a shorter period shall be
rejected by the Procuring Entity as non-responsive.
20.2 In exceptional circumstances, prior to the expiration of the Tender validity period, the
Procuring Entity may request Tenderers to extend the period of validity of their Tenders. The
request and the responses shall be made in writing. If a Tender Security is requested in

extended validity period. A Tenderer may refuse the request without forfeiting its Tender
security. A Tenderer granting the request shall not be required or permitted to modify its Tender,
except as provided in ITT 20.3.
20.3 If the award is delayed by a period exceeding the number of days to be specified in the TDS days
beyond the expiry of the initial tender validity period, the Contract price shall be determined as
follows:
a) in the case of fixed price contracts, the Contract price shall be the tender price adjusted
by the factor specified in the TDS;
b) in the case of adjustable price contracts, no adjustment shall be made; or in any case,
tender evaluation shall be based on the tender price without taking into consideration the
applicable correction from those indicated above.
21.1 The Tenderer shall furnish as part of its Tender, either a Tender-Securing Declaration or a
Tender Security as specified in the TDS, in original form and, in the case of a Tender Security, in the
amount and currency specified in the TDS. A Tender-Securing Declaration shall use the form
included in Section IV, Tender Forms.
21.2 If a Tender Security is specified pursuant to ITT 19.1, the Tender Security shall be a demand
guarantee in any of the following forms at the Tenderer's option:
19
a) an unconditional Bank Guarantee issued by reputable commercial bank); or
b) an irrevocable letter of credit;
c) a Banker's cheque issued by a reputable commercial bank; or
d) another security specified in the TDS,
21.3 If an unconditional bank guarantee is issued by a bank located outside Kenya, the issuing bank
shall have a correspondent bank located in Kenya to make it enforceable. The Tender Security
shall be valid for thirty (30) days beyond the original validity period of the Tender, or beyond any
period of extension if requested under ITT 20.2.
21.4 If a Tender Security or Tender-Securing Declaration is specified pursuant to ITT 19.1, any
Tender not accompanied by a substantially responsive Tender Security or Tender-Securing
Declaration shall be rejected by the Procuring Entity as non-responsive.
21.5 If a Tender Security is specified pursuant to ITT 21.1, the Tender Security of unsuccessful
Tenderers shall be returned as promptly as possible upon the successful Tenderer's signing the
Contract and furnishing the Performance Security and any other documents required in the
TDS. The Procuring Entity shall also promptly return the tender security to the tenderers where
the procurement proceedings are terminated, all tenders were determined nonresponsive or a
bidder declines to extend tender validity period.
21.6 The Tender Security of the successful Tenderer shall be returned as promptly as possible once
the successful Tenderer has signed the Contract and furnished the required Performance
Security, and any other documents required in the TDS.
21.7 The Tender Security may be forfeited or the Tender-Securing Declaration executed:
e) if a Tenderer withdraws its Tender during the period of Tender validity specified by the
Tenderer on the Form of Tender, or any extension thereto provided by the Tenderer; or
f) if the successful Tenderer fails to:
i) sign the Contract in accordance with ITT 50; or
ii) furnish a Performance Security and if required in the TDS, and any other documents
required in the TDS.
21.8 Where tender securing declaration is executed, the Procuring Entity shall recommend to the
PPRA that PPRA debars the Tenderer from participating in public procurement as provided in
the law.
21.9 The Tender Security or the Tender-Securing Declaration of a JV shall be in the name of the JV
that submits the Tender. If the JV has not been legally constituted into a legally enforceable JV
at the time of tendering, the Tender Security or the Tender-Securing Declaration shall be in the
names of all future members as named in the letter of intent referred to in ITT 4.1 and ITT 11.2.
22.1 The Tenderer shall prepare one original of the documents comprising the Tender as described
in ITT 13 and clearly mark it “ORIGINAL.” Alternative Tenders, if permitted in accordance with

not be disclosed to Tenderers or any other persons not officially concerned with the Tender
process until information on Intention to Award the Contract is transmitted to all Tenderers in
accordance with ITT 46.

tenderer wishes to contact the Procuring Entity on any matter related to the tendering process,
it shall do so in writing.
29.1 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, given a reasonable time for a response. 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, including any
voluntary increase or decrease, 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 ITT 33.
29.2 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.
31.2 A substantially responsive Tender is one that meets the requirements of the Tender document
without material deviation, reservation, or omission. A material deviation, reservation, or
omission is one that, if accepted, would:
a) affect in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the Works specified in the
Contract; or
b) limit in any substantial way, inconsistent with the tender document, the Procuring Entity's
rights or the tenderer's obligations under the proposed contract; or
c) if rectified, would unfairly affect the competitive position of other tenderers presenting
substantially responsive tenders.
31.3 The Procuring Entity shall examine the technical aspects of the tender submitted in accordance
with ITT 18, to confirm that all requirements of Section VII, Works' Requirements have been met
without any material deviation, reservation or omission.
31.4 If a tender is not substantially responsive to the requirements of the tender 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.
32.1 Provided that a tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity may waive any non-
conformities in the tender.
32.2 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, to
rectify nonmaterial non-conformities in the tender related to documentation requirements.
Requesting information 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.
32.3 Provided that a tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity shall rectify quantifiable
nonmaterial 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 manner specified in the TDS.
33.1 The tender sum as submitted and read out during the tender opening shall be absolute and final
and shall not be the subject of correction, adjustment or amendment in any way by any person
or entity.
33.2 Provided that the Tender is substantially responsive, the Procuring Entity shall handle errors
on the following basis:
24
a) 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.
b) Any errors in the submitted tender arising from a miscalculation of unit price, quantity, and
subtotal and total bid price shall be considered as a major deviation that affects the
substance of the tender and shall lead to disqualification of the tender as non-responsive.
and
c) if there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words shall prevail
33.3 Tenderers shall be notified of any error detected in their bid during the notification of a ward.
34.1 Tenders will priced be in Kenya Shillings only. Tenderers quoting in currencies other than in Kenya
shillings will be determined non-responsive and rejected.
35.2 Where it is intended to reserve the contract to specific groups under Small and Medium
Enterprises, or enterprise of women, youth and/or persons living with disability, who are
appropriately registered as such by the authority to be specified in the TDS, a procuring entity shall
ensure that the invitation to tender specifically indicates that only businesses/firms belonging to
those specified groups are the only ones eligible to tender. Otherwise if no so stated, the invitation
will be open to all tenderers.
36.1 Unless otherwise stated in the TDS, the Procuring Entity does not intend to execute any specific
elements of the Works by subcontractors selected in advance by the Procuring Entity.
36.2 Tenderers may propose subcontracting up to the percentage of total value of contracts or the
volume of works as specified in the TDS. Subcontractors proposed by the Tenderer shall be fully
qualified for their parts of the Works.
36.3 The subcontractor's qualifications shall not be used by the Tenderer to qualify for the Works
unless their specialized parts of the Works were previously designated by the Procuring Entity in
the TDS as can be met by subcontractors referred to hereafter as 'Specialized Subcontractors', in
which case, the qualifications of the Specialized Subcontractors proposed by the Tenderer may be
added to the qualifications of the Tenderer.
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 in accordance with ITT 40.
37.2 To evaluate a Tender, the Procuring Entity shall consider the following:
a) price adjustmentdue to discounts offered in accordance with ITT 16;
b) converting the amount resulting from applying (a) and (b) above, if relevant, to a single
currency in accordance with ITT39;
c) price adjustment due to quantifiable nonmaterial non-conformities in accordance with ITT
30.3; and
d) any additional evaluation factors specified in the TDS and Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria.
25
37.3 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 considered in Tender evaluation.
37.4 In the case of multiple contracts or lots, Tenderers shall be allowed to tender for one or more lots
and the methodology to determine the lowest evaluated cost of the lot (contract) combinations,
including any discounts offered in the Form of Tender, is specified in Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria.
38. Comparison of Tenders
38.1 The Procuring Entity shall compare the evaluated costs of all substantially responsive Tenders
established in accordance with ITT 38.2 to determine the Tender that has the lowest evaluated
cost.
39.1 An Abnormally Low Tender is one where the Tender price, in combination with other elements
of the Tender, appears so low that it raises material concerns as to the capability of the Tenderer
in regards to the Tenderer's ability to perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price or that
genuine competition between Tenderers is compromised.
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 relation to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed methodology, schedule,
allocation of risks and responsibilities and any other requirements of the Tender document.
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 perform the Contract for the offered
Tender Price, the Procuring Entity shall reject the Tender.
40.1 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.
40.2 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 if the 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:
i) 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.
ii) 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.
40.3 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,
26
before retendering.
41.1 If in the Procuring Entity's opinion, the Tender that is evaluated as the lowest evaluated price
is seriously unbalanced and/or front loaded, the Procuring Entity may require the Tenderer to
provide written clarifications. Clarifications may include detailed price analyses to demonstrate
the consistency of the tender prices with the scope of works, proposed methodology, schedule
and any other requirements of the Tender document.
41.2 After the evaluation of the information and detailed price analyses presented by the Tenderer,
the Procuring Entity may as appropriate:
a) accept the Tender; or
b) require that the total amount of the Performance Security be increased at the expense of
the Tenderer to a level not exceeding a 30% of the Contract Price; or
c) agree on a payment mode that eliminates the inherent risk of the Procuring Entity paying
too much for undelivered works;or
d) reject the Tender,
42. Qualifications of the Tenderer
42.1 The Procuring Entity shall determine to its satisfaction whether the eligible Tenderer that is
selected as having submitted the lowest evaluated cost and substantially responsive Tender,
meets the qualifying criteria specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
42.2 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence of the
Tenderer's qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant to ITT 19. 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 Tender document), or any other firm(s) different from the Tenderer.
42.3 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 price to make a similar determination of that Tenderer's
qualifications to perform satisfactorily.
42.4 An Abnormally Low Tender is one where the Tender price, in combination with other elements
of the Tender, appears so low that it raises material concerns as to the capability of the Tenderer
in regards to the Tenderer's ability to perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price.
42.5 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 relation to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed methodology, schedule,
allocation of risks and responsibilities and any other requirements of the Tender document.
42.6 After evaluation of the price analyses, if the Procuring Entity determines that the Tenderer has
failed to demonstrate its capability to perform the Contract for the offered Tender Price, the
Procuring Entity shall reject the Tender.
43.1 Having compared the evaluated prices of Tenders, the Procuring Entity shall determine the
Best Evaluated Tender. The Best Evaluated Tender is the Tender of the Tenderer that meets the
Qualification Criteria and whose Tender has been determined to be:
27
a) Most responsive to the Tender document; and
b) the lowest evaluated price.
44. Procuring Entity's Right to Accept Any Tender, and to Reject Any or All Tenders.
44.1 The Procuring Entity reserves the right to accept or reject any Tender and to annul the Tender
process and reject all Tenders at any time prior to Contract Award, without thereby incurring any
liability to Tenderers. In case of annulment, all Tenderers shall be notified with reasons and all
Tenders submitted and specifically, Tender securities, shall be promptly returned to the
Tenderers.

determined to be the Lowest Evaluated Tender.

to each Tenderer the Notification of Intention to Enter into a Contract with the successful
Tenderer.
48.1 On receipt of the Procuring Entity's Notification of Intention to Enter into a Contract referred
to in ITT 46, an unsuccessful tenderer may make a written request to the Procuring Entity for a
debriefing on specific issues or concerns regarding their tender. The Procuring Entity shall
provide the debriefing within five days of receipt of the request.
48.2 Debriefings of unsuccessful Tenderers may be done in writing or verbally. The Tenderer shall
bear its own costs of attending such a debriefing meeting.
28
49.1 Prior to the expiry of the Tender Validity Period and upon expiry of the Standstill Period specified
in ITT 42.1, upon addressing a complaint that has been filed within the Standstill Period, the
Procuring Entity shall transmit the Letter of Award to the successful Tenderer. The letter of award

50.3 The written contract shall be entered into within the period specified in the notification of
award and before expiry of the tender validity period
51.1 The Procuring Entity proposes the person named in the TDS to be appointed as Adjudicator
under the Contract, at the hourly fee specified in the TDS, plus reimbursable expenses. If the
Tenderer disagrees with this proposal, the Tenderer should so state in his Tender. If, in the Letter
of Acceptance, the Procuring Entity does not agree on the appointment of the Adjudicator, the
Procuring Entity will request the Appointing Authority designated in the Special Conditions of
Contract (SCC) pursuant to Clause 23.1 of the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), to appoint
the Adjudicator.
52.1 Within twenty-one (21) days of the receipt of the Letter of Acceptance from the Procuring Entity,

Entity has agreed in writing that a correspondent bank is not required.
52.2 Failure of the successful Tenderer to submit the above-mentioned Performance Security and
other documents required in the TDS, or sign the Contract shall constitute sufficient grounds for
the annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Tender Security. In that event the Procuring
Entity may award the Contract to the Tenderer offering the next Best Evaluated Tender.

D. APPENDIX 1- FRAUDAND CORRUPTION
1. Purpose
2. The Government of Kenya's Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime laws and their sanction's
policies and procedures, Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (no. 33 of 2015) and its
Regulation, and any other Kenya's Acts or Regulations related to Fraud and Corruption, and
similar offences, shall apply with respect to Public Procurement Processes and Contracts that
are governed by the laws of Kenya.
3. Requirements
The Government of Kenya requires that all parties including Procuring Entities, Tenderers,
(applicants/proposers), Consultants, Contractors and Suppliers; any Sub-contractors, Sub-
consultants, Service providers or Suppliers; any Agents (whether declared or not); and any of their
Personnel, involved and engaged in procurement under Kenya's Laws and Regulation, observe
the highest standard of ethics during the procurement process, selection and contract execution
of all contracts, and refrain from Fraud and Corruption and fully comply with Kenya's laws and
Regulations as per paragraphs 1.1 above.
Kenya's public procurement and asset disposal act (no. 33 of 2015) under Section 66 describes
rules to be followed and actions to be taken in dealing with Corrupt, Coercive, Obstructive,
Collusive or Fraudulent practices, and Conflicts of Interest in procurement including
consequences for offences committed. A few of the provisions noted below highlight Kenya's
policy of no tolerance for such practices and behavior: -
1) a person to whom this Act applies shall not be involved in any corrupt, coercive, obstructive,
collusive or fraudulent practice; or conflicts of interest in any procurement or asset disposal
proceeding;
2) A person referred to under subsection (1) who contravenes the provisions of that sub-
section commits an offence;
3) Without limiting the generality of the subsection (1) and (2), the person shall be: -
a) disqualified from entering into a contract for a procurement or asset disposal
proceeding; or
b) if a contract has already been entered into with the person, the contract shall be
voidable;
4) The voiding of a contract by the procuring entity under subsection (7) does not limit any
legal remedy the procuring entity may have;
5) An employee or agent of the procuring entity or a member of the Board or committee of
the procuring entity who has a conflict of interest with respect to a procurement: -
a) shall not take part in the procurement proceedings;
b) shall not, after a procurement contract has been entered into, take part in any decision
relating to the procurement or contract; and
c) shall not be a subcontractor for the bidder to whom was awarded contract, or a member
of the group of bidders to whom the contract was awarded, but the subcontractor
appointed shall meet all the requirements of this Act.
6) An employee, agent or member described in subsection (1) who refrains from doing
anything prohibited under that subsection, but for that subsection, would have been
within his or her duties shall disclose the conflict of interest to the procuring entity;
64
7) If a person contravenes subsection (1) with respect to a conflict of interest described in
subsection (5)(a) and the contract is awarded to the person or his relative or to another
person in whom one of them had a direct or indirect pecuniary interest, the contract shall
be terminated and all costs incurred by the public entity shall be made good by the awarding
officer. Etc.
In compliance with Kenya's laws, regulations and policies mentioned above, the Procuring Entity:
a) Defines broadly, for the purposes of the above provisions, the terms set forth below as
follows:
i) “corrupt practice” is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting, directly or indirectly,
of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party;
ii) “fraudulent practice” is any act or omission, including misrepresentation, that
knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain financial or
other benefit or to avoid an obligation;
b) Defines more specifically, in accordance with the above procurement Act provisions set
forth for fraudulent and collusive practices as follows:
c) Rejects a proposal for award1 of a contract if PPRA determines that the firm or individual
recommended for award, any of its personnel, or its agents, or its sub-consultants, sub-
contractors, service providers, suppliers and/ or their employees, has, directly or
indirectly, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, or obstructive practices in
competing for the contract in question;
d) Pursuant to the Kenya's above stated Acts and Regulations, may sanction or recommend
to appropriate authority (ies) for sanctioning and debarment of a firm or individual, as
applicable under the Acts and Regulations;
e) Requires that a clause be included in Tender documents and Request for Proposal
documents requiring (i) Tenderers (applicants/proposers), Consultants, Contractors, and
Suppliers, and their Sub-contractors, Sub-consultants, Service providers, Suppliers,
61
Agents personnel, permit the PPRA or any other appropriate authority appointed by
Government of Kenya to inspect2 all accounts, records and other documents relating to
the procurement process, selection and/or contract execution, and to have them audited
by auditors appointed by the PPRA or any other appropriate authority appointed by
Government of Kenya; and
1For the avoidance of doubt, a party's ineligibility to be awarded a contract shall include, without
limitation, (i) applying for pre-qualification, expressing interest in a consultancy, and tendering, either
directly or as a nominated sub-contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or
nominated service provider, in respect of such contract, and (ii) entering into an addendum or amendment
introducing a material modification to any existing contract.
2 Inspections in this context usually are investigative (i.e., forensic) in nature. They involve fact-finding
activities undertaken by the Investigating Authority or persons appointed by the Procuring Entity to address
specific matters related to investigations/audits, such as evaluating the veracity of an allegation of possible
Fraud and Corruption, through the appropriate mechanisms. Such activity includes but is not limited to:
accessing and examining a firm's or individual's financial records and information, and making copies thereof
as relevant; accessing and examining any other documents, data and information (whether in hard copy or
electronic format) deemed relevant for the investigation/audit, and making copies thereof as relevant;
interviewing staff and other relevant individuals; performing physical inspections and site visits; and obtaining
third party verification of information.

DRILLING
General instructions
An 8" borehole should be air drilled to a maximum depth of 170m bgl and a minimum of
150 m; yield increases with depth.
The most suitable location for the borehole is at VES 1 Profile 1 point 7 (Latitudes 0688562
Longitudes 0325612 Alt 1011M Asl).
Considering that the upper aquifers in this region are quite vulnerable to depletion, all
aquifers encountered from ground level down to a penetration depth of about 80m should
be sealed off with plain casings and bentonite cement to avoid any possible further
depletion of these shallow groundwater resources and in turn avoid any impact to any
surrounding borehole abstracting water from this vulnerable level. This borehole will only
abstract water from the deepest aquifers within the fractured metamorphic. Thus, there
won’t be any foreseen interference in the hydraulic properties of the existing boreholes or
their groundwater abstraction trends.
The borehole should be cased using machine made MILD STEEL screen casings and plain
casings.
Test pumping should be done for 24 consecutive hours to aid in determining the safe
pumping yield and appropriate pump size.
A piezometer should be installed in the borehole to enable monitoring of the water level.
A water sample should be collected at the end of the test pumping to be taken to a
competent lab for a complete water quality test.
Drilling additives must be non-toxic and biodegradable.
Units of measurements for drilling shall be in meters and measurements are taken based
on geological samples taken after drilling.
The rates of drilling shall be based on geological formations and as quoted.
Geological logging shall be performed after the end of each drilling and drawings should be
submitted accordingly.
Drilling up to the estimated depth shall not necessarily proceed and drilling can be ceased
based on the hydrogeological and geological condition when approved by client
representative.
Test pumping equipment should be independent from the drilling rig(s).
The upper part of the well (6 m) should be drilled using 12 1/4-inch diameter bit for the
upper un-consolidated part and shall be installed at 12-inch surface casing. The remainder
of the drilling depth should be drilled at 8 inch drill bit.
The diameter of the wells shall not be less than 8 inch. The contractor shall drill to such
depth and diameter as guided by the reports of the hydro-geophysical studies.
Installation of any temporary casing required for the construction of the boreholes will be
left to the contractor so long as the finished product meets the borehole specifications.
Cost for supply, installation and removal of temporary casing shall be borne entirely by the
contractor. The contractor shall not claim any casing that is not retrievable and left in the
borehole.
No borehole will be accepted if drilled to such depth and diameter other than instructed by
the Engineer/client representative/hydrogeological reports.
Drilling at smaller diameter followed by reaming to the recommended diameter will not be
acceptable and such reaming shall be the responsibility of the contractor.
The minimum depth of the borehole should be as specified in table 1, table 2 and table 3
above and to a depth as may be advised by the hydrogeologist/client representative.
However, the hydrogeologist/client representative could stop the drilling before reaching
the recommended drilling depth, provided that the yield of the borehole is determined to
be sufficient to cover water demand of the community.
In case of change from rotary to percussion drilling, if the confirmatory survey recommends so,
a bailer test of at least 30 minutes’ duration shall be carried out for each aquifer encountered.
Verticality test
If required by the Engineer/client representative, the contractor will conduct a verticality test
during and after drilling by approved methods to demonstrate that the departure from the
verticality does not exceed 3 in 100 between ground level and the base of the borehole.
If this departure is exceeded, the contractor shall make the necessary corrections to the
approval of the Engineer/client representative without additional payments. If the error
cannot be corrected, drilling shall cease, and a new borehole shall be drilled at a position nearby
as indicated by the Engineer/client representative. No payment shall be made for the
alternative drilling and the sealing of the abandoned borehole or for moving to the alternative
point.
Environmental protection for the site
Care must be taken in the handling and storage of all drilling fluids, oils, greases and fuel on site
to avoid any degradation. The contractor shall dispose of any toxic materials, drilling fluid and
other additives, cuttings and discharged water in a manner approved by the Engineer/client
representative so as not to create damage to public and private property.
BOREHOLE CASING
The well should be cased and screened with good quality material owing to the depth of the
borehole.
Surface steel casing of minimum 12 inch might be needed for the upper unconsolidated
sediments.
The production casings and screens shall be 8-inch mild steel as this would allow for
equipping with bigger capacity pumps for long-term development/advancement in
water supply for future demand.
The rates of casing (blind or screen) shall include installing up to desired depth.
Installations of casings and screens shall be up to required depth as per standards and
the geological logs to meet the function of the aquifer and the type of pumps to be used.
Minimum wall thickness for all well casing shall be 10 mm.
The minimum open area of the screens should be 5%.
Well screen shall be continuous slot wire wound screens as manufactured by Johnson
screens or equivalent. For different sizes, the slot size should be specified by the
Engineer/client representative after sieve analysis of the aquifer samples.
We strongly advise against the use of torch-cut steel well casing as screen. In general,
its use will reduce well efficiency (which leads to lower yield), increase pumping costs
through greater draw down, increase maintenance costs, and eventually reduction of
the potential effective life of the well.
Gravel pack
- The use of a gravel pack is recommended within the aquifer zone. A 10" diameter borehole
screened at 6" will leave an annular space of approximately 2". The slot size should be in the
order of 1.5 mm.
- The Contractor shall supply river gravel pack, round particles of uniform grading with 95%
siliceous material and conform to the 2-4 mm diameter grain size, selected based on the
geological strata of the drilled well.
- The gravel should be having sufficient strength and proper sizes to meet the designed
screen for proper filtration.
- There shall be no clay, shale’s, silt, fines, excessive amounts of calcareous materials and no
crushed rock. Sampling and analysis at site will be required for confirmation of delivered
materials.
- The gravel shall be washed before installation to remove weathered particles before
packing.
- Sufficient amount of gravel pack shall be installed to completely cover the uppermost
screen measured in m3 or using a suitable volumetric method as approved by the
Engineer/client representative.
- The annular space above the clay seal shall be back filled with inert drill-cuttings.
64
Figure 1: Example of gravel pack to be used
After installation, the gravel pack should be capped with a 2meter vertical column of clay
sanitary seal to prevent any seepage that may contaminate aquifers with subsequent pollution
of ground water.
The remaining annular space should be backfilled with an inert material, and the top 5 meters
grouted with cement to ensure that no surface water at the wellhead can enter the well bore
and cause contamination. Grout is to be injected, by a method approved by the Engineer/client
representative, into the annulus between the casing and the wall of the hole.
- Any aquifer bearing saline or poor quality water shall also be sealed.
- The time interval for cleaning and developing shall be of minimum twelve (12hrs)
- If organic drilling fluids are used, they shall be broken down chemically according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations before or during development. Clay desegregation by
means of sodium hexametaphosphate (calgon) treatment might be necessary and should
be allowed for.
- Development shall continue until the water is completely free from fine particles, as
decided by the Engineer/client representative.
- Upon completion of development, any accumulation of material shall be removed from the
bottom of the borehole by airlifting.
- Within this frame the pump should be installed at least 2 m above the screen, certainly not
at the same depth as the screen.
Test pumping
A well test consists of pumping a well from a measured start level (Water Rest Level - (WRL) at
a known or measured yield, and simultaneously recording the discharge rate and the resulting
drawdowns as a function of time. Once a dynamic water level (DWL) is reached, the rate of
inflow to the well equals the rate of pumping. Usually the rate of pumping is in¬creased
stepwise during the test, each time equilibrium has been reached (Step Draw down Test).
Towards the end of the test a water sample of 2 liters should be collected for chemical analysis.
The duration of the test should be 24 hours, followed by a recovery test for a further 24 hours,
or alternatively until the initial WRL has been reached (during which the rate of recovery to
WRL is recorded). The results of the test will enable a Hydrogeologist to calculate the optimum
pumping rate, the pump installation depth, and the draw down for a given discharge rate.
The British Standard BS 6316; 1992 Code of Practice for Test Pumping of Water Wells shall
be followed, which includes;
• A step draw-down test (typically five steps, each of 2 hours’ duration; total 10 hours);
iv. Water level measurement device capable of measuring the desired depth.
- The aquifer’s transmissivity; and where measurements from an observation well are also
available, the aquifer’s storage coefficient.
Recovery test
After 24 hours of continuous test, the pump should be turned off and measurement of water
level recovery should immediately be undertaken
Field analysis
During the pumping tests, pH, electrical conductivity and the temperature of the water should
be measured.
Physiochemical analysis
Two samples of 5 liter shall be collected at the end of the pumping test for further chemical
analysis of the water in order to determine the portability of the water and should be compared
with WHO guideline. The test to be performed are bacteriological and physio-chemical
analysis. The parameters that to be analyzed should include: PH, Alkalinity, Hardness,
Electrical Conductivity, and major and minor Cations & Anions (Na+1, K+1, Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+3,
HCO3, CO3-2, Cl-1, F-1, NO3, NO2 and so on), arsenic, manganese, fluorides, nitrates, TDS, SS
etc.
The contractor should inform the designated site Engineer/client representative about a
propose date of pump test in advance so that a site Engineer/client representative can avail
himself in the field during the pump test.
The contractor shall provide a suitable means of achieving the rate of flow specified.
Test pumping should start at least 12 hours after completion of development and cleaning of
the borehole.
During the test pumping, the discharged water must be handled and disposed of in an
appropriate manner to a point of overland drainage sufficiently far from the well to prevent
recharge. The water shall be diverted over a distance of at least 100-metre from the wellhead.
This condition may not be required for confined aquifer but approval to vary this distance must
be obtained from the Engineer/client representative.
During all test-pumping operations, once the flow rate has been determined and preliminary
adjustments made, the measured discharge rate shall be maintained within ±5% of the
required rate for the duration of the test.
Failure of the pump operation during the test shall require abortion of the whole test and the
test shall be repeated after recovery of the water level. No payment shall be made for aborted
tests or for standing time during water level recovery after aborted tests. Test pumping
comprises the following activities:
Calibration Test: - The borehole shall be subject to calibration test to establish the
approximate yield and draw down characteristics and to decide upon pumping rates for step
draw down or constant discharge tests.
Step draw down test: - The step draw down test shall comprise pumping the well at four to six
separate discharge rates as shall be specified by the Engineer/client representative. Each
discharge rate shall be pumped for a period of two hours. The change from one pumping rate
to the next shall be effected without stopping the pump, but by means of regulating a globe
valve in the discharge pipe, or by any other means to be approved by the Engineer/client
representative. The change from one step to the next shall take place in the shortest time
possible.
During each step of the draw down test, water levels and discharge measurements shall be
taken at appropriate time intervals as shall be instructed by the Engineer/client
representative; while at the same time electrical conductivity (EC) readings shall be taken.
After completion of the last step, 12 hours’ recovery is to be undertaken. For very low yielding
boreholes (<3m³/h), the Engineer/client representative may waive the requirement of step
draw down test.
Constant Discharge Test: - Separate constant discharge test for maximum duration of forty-
eight (48) hours of pumping and twelve (12) hours of recovery shall be implemented. The
discharge rate at which the well is to be pumped shall be specified prior to the test. During the
test, water level and discharge measurements shall be taken at the same time intervals as for
the step draw down test.
Test pumping data from all tests conducted from each borehole shall be supplied to the
Engineer/client representative. These will show dates, water levels, discharge rates, EC values,
times of starting and stopping the pumping change in discharge, weather and other conditions
that could affect the test data.
64
2.7.4 Well disinfection
Disinfection of the borehole shall be carried out by the contractor before demobilization from
the site. This shall be done by placing a chlorine solution into the well so that a concentration
of at least 50mg/l of available chlorine exists in all parts of the borehole at static conditions. All
the borehole surfaces above the static water level shall be completely flushed with the
solution. The solution shall remain in the borehole for a minimum of 2 hours before pumping
the borehole to waste.
This casing shall fit neatly; over the mild steel casing and be permanently grouted in at the time
of completion of the borehole. Prior to, during and after the construction of the wellhead, the
contractor must ensure that no debris whatsoever falls into the borehole.
During borehole construction, installation, development and test pumping, the Contractor
shall use all reasonable measures to prevent entrance of foreign matter into the borehole. The
Contractor shall be responsible for any objectionable materials that may fall into the borehole
and any effect it may have on water quality and/or quantity until completion of works and
acceptance by the Engineer/client representative.
The contractor shall therefore construct a well-built well head in order to protect the well
against pollution. The well head should be constructed with concrete mix of 1:2:2 ratios.
• Site name;
• Date of reporting;
• Drilling method;
• Bore Diameter and depth, including diameter changes and their corresponding depths;
• Estimated yield of airlift measurement when drilling and developing with air;
• Time log (min/metre), for penetration rates for given type of bit and standby time due
to breakdown;
• EC measurements;
A copy of the daily record shall be made available daily to the Engineer/client representative
for signature, including any other pertinent data as may be requested by the Engineer/client
representative.
64
2.8.4 Loss of equipment
Any equipment lost down a borehole must be removed or the borehole will be considered a
lost bore. A replacement borehole will have to be constructed and tested at the contractor’s
expense.
In the event of a lost bore, the contractor shall permanently seal the bore and construct a
borehole immediately adjacent to the lost bore or at a site indicated by the Engineer/client
representative. The option of declaring any bore lost shall rest with the Contractor, subject to
the approval of the Engineer/client representative.
• The Contractor may salvage as much casing from the bore as possible and use it in the
alternative borehole with the approval by the Engineer/client representative;
• The lost bore shall be sealed by concrete, cement grout, or neat cement, and shall be
placed from bottom upwards by methods that avoid segregation or dilution of materials,
and
• The upper two (2) – meters of the bore shall be backfilled with native topsoil. Sealing of
the bore shall be done in such a manner as to avoid accidents and to prevent it from
acting as a vertical conduit for transmitting contaminated surface or subsurface waters
into the water bearing formations.
2.8.7 Insurance
All required insurance for public and private liability covering injury or death and property
damage or loss will be the sole responsibility of the contractor. The contractor will provide
WORLD VISION with the insurance certificates before the works commence.
3
Meeting WHO and national standard guidelines
The Contractor should communicate any variation in writing to the engineer/client
representative and forwarded to the client, accompanied by recommendations, for a decision.
No works in relation to the requested variation shall be undertaken by the contractor until a
decision is made by the client and given to the contractor in writing. Any claim for payment by
the contractor for variations to the contract undertaken without approval will not be paid.
The contractor is expected to clearly read between the lines and note the condition of the
contract before submitting a bid document and signing a contract agreement with WORLD
VISION.

24.1.3 The Contractor shall also submit any other notices which are required by the Contract,
and supporting particulars for the claim, all as relevant to such event or circumstance.
24.1.4 The Contractor shall keep such contemporary records as may be necessary to
substantiate any claim, either on the Site or at another location acceptable to the Project
Manager. Without admitting the Procuring Entity's liability, the Project Manager may,
after receiving any notice under this Sub-Clause, monitor the record- keeping and/or
instruct the Contractor to keep further contemporary records. The Contractor shall
permit the Project Manager to inspect all these records, and shall (if instructed) submit
copies to the Project Manager.
24.1.5 Within 42 days after the Contractor became aware (or should have become aware) of
the event or circumstance giving rise to the claim, or within such other period as may be
proposed by the Contractor and approved by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall
send to the Project Manager a fully detailed claim which includes full supporting
particulars of the basis of the claim and of the extension of time and/or additional
payment claimed. If the event or circumstance giving rise to the claim has a continuing
effect:
24.1.6 Within 42 days after receiving a Notice of a claim or any further particulars supporting
a previous claim, or within such other period as may be proposed by the Project Manager
and approved by the Contractor, the Project Manager shall respond with approval, or with
disapproval and detailed comments. He may also request any necessary further particulars,
but shall nevertheless give his response on the principles of the claim within the above
defined time period.
24.1.7 Within the above defined period of 42 days, the Project Manager shall proceed in
accordance with Sub-Clause
24.1.8 [Determinations] to agree or determine (i) the extension (if any) of the Time for
Completion (before or after its expiry) in accordance with Sub-Clause 8.4 [Extension of
Time for Completion], and/or (ii) the additional payment (if any) to which the Contractor
is entitled under the Contract.
70
24.1.9 Each Payment Certificate shall include such additional payment for any claim as has
been reasonably substantiated as due under the relevant provision of the Contract.
Unless and until the particulars supplied are sufficient to substantiate the whole of the
claim, the Contractor shall only be entitled to payment for such part of the claim as he has
been able to substantiate.
24.1.10 If the Project Manager does not respond within the timeframe defined in this Clause,
either Party may consider that the claim is rejected by the Project Manager and any of the
Parties may refer to Arbitration in accordance with Sub-Clause 24.4 [Arbitration].
24.1.11 The requirements of this Sub-Clause are in addition to those of any other Sub-Clause
which may apply to a claim. If the Contractor fails to comply with this or another Sub-
Clause in relation to any claim, any extension of time and/or additional payment shall take
account of the extent (if any) to which the failure has prevented or prejudiced proper
investigation of the claim, unless the claim is excluded under the second paragraph of this
Sub-Clause 24.3.
24.2 Amicable Settlement
24.2.1 Where a notice of a claim has been given, both Parties shall attempt to settle the dispute
amicably before the commencement of arbitration. However, unless both Parties agree
otherwise, the Party giving a notice of a claim in accordance with Sub-Clause 24.1 above
should move to commence arbitration after the fifty-sixth day from the day on which a
notice of a claim was given, even if no attempt at an amicable settlement has been made.
24.3 Matters that may be referred to arbitration
24.3.1 Notwithstanding anything stated herein the following matters may be referred to
arbitration before the practical completion of the Works or abandonment of the Works or
termination of the Contract by either party:

desirable in order to determine the rights of the parties and assess and award any sums which
ought to have been the subject of or included in any certificate.
24.4.5 The Arbitrator shall, without prejudice to the generality of his powers, have powers to
71
open up, review and revise any certificate, opinion, decision, requirement or notice and to
determine all matters in dispute which shall be submitted to him in the same manner as if no
such certificate, opinion, decision requirement or notice had been given.
24.4.6 The arbitrators shall have full power to open up, review and revise any certificate,
determination, instruction, opinion or valuation of the Project Manager, relevant to the
dispute. Nothing shall disqualify representatives of the Parties and the Project Manager from
being called as a witness and giving evidence before the arbitrators on any matter
whatsoever relevant to the dispute.
24.4.7 Neither Party shall be limited in the proceedings before the arbitrators to the evidence,
or to the reasons for dissatisfaction given in its Notice of Dissatisfaction.
24.4.8 Arbitration may be commenced prior to or after completion of the Works. The
obligations of the Parties, and the Project Manager shall not be altered by reason of any
arbitration being conducted during the progress of the Works.
24.4.9 The terms of the remuneration of each or all the members of Arbitration shall be
mutually agreed upon by the Parties when agreeing the terms of appointment. Each Party
shall be responsible for paying one-half of this remuneration.
24.5 Arbitration with National Contractors

25. Fraud andCorruption
25.1 The Government requires compliance with the country's Anti-Corruption laws and its
prevailing sanctions policies and procedures as set forth in the Constitution of Kenya and its
Statutes.
25.2 The Procuring Entity requires the Contractor to disclose any commissions or fees that may
have been paid or are to be paid to agents or any other party with respect to the bidding
process or execution of the Contract. The information disclosed must include at least the
name and address of the agent or other party, the amount and currency, and the purpose of
the commission, gratuity or fee.
B. Time Control
26. Program
26.1 Within the time stated in the SCC, after the date of the Letter of Acceptance, the Contractor
shall submit to the Project Manager for approval a Program showing the general methods,
arrangements, order, and timing for all the activities in the Works. In the case of a lump sum
contract, the activities in the Program shall be consistent with those in the Activity Schedule.
26.2 An update of the Program shall be a program showing the actual progress achieved on each
activity and the effect of the progress achieved on the timing of the remaining work, including
any changes to the sequence of the activities.
26.3 The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager for approval an updated Program at
intervals no longer than the period stated in the SCC. If the Contractor does not submit an
updated Program within this period, the Project Manager may withhold the amount stated
in the SCC from the next payment certificate and continue to withhold this amount until the
next payment after the date on which the overdue Program has been submitted. In the case
of a lump sum contract, the Contractor shall provide an updated Activity Schedule within 14
days of being instructed to by the Project Manager.
26.4 The Project Manager's approval of the Program shall not alter the Contractor's obligations.
The Contractor may revise the Program and submit it to the Project Manager again at any
time. A revised Program shall show the effect of Variations and Compensation Events.
27.1 The Project Manager shall extend the Intended Completion Date if a Compensation Event
occurs or a Variation is issued which makes it impossible for Completion to be achieved by
the Intended Completion Date without the Contractor taking steps to accelerate the
remaining work, which would cause the Contractor to incur additional cost.
27.2 The Project Manager shall decide whether and by how much to extend the Intended
Completion Date within 21 days of the Contractor asking the Project Manager for a decision
upon the effect of a Compensation Event or Variation and submitting full supporting
information. If the Contractor has failed to give early warning of a delay or has failed to
cooperate in dealing with a delay, the delay by this failure shall not be considered in assessing
the new Intended Completion Date.
28. Acceleration
28.1 When the Procuring Entity wants the Contractor to finish before the Intended Completion
Date, the Project Manager shall obtain priced proposals for achieving the necessary
acceleration from the Contractor. If the Procuring Entity accepts these proposals, the
Intended Completion Date shall be adjusted accordingly and confirmed by both the
Procuring Entity and the Contractor.
28.2 If the Contractor's priced proposals for an acceleration are accepted by the Procuring Entity,
73
they are incorporated in the Contract Price and treated as a Variation.
29.1 The Project Manager may instruct the Contractor to delay the start or progress of any activity
within the Works.
30.1 Either the Project Manager or the Contractor may require the other to attend a management
meeting. The business of a management meeting shall be to review the plans for remaining
work and to deal with matters raised in accordance with the early warning procedure.
30.2 The Project Manager shall record the business of management meetings and provide copies
of the record to those attending the meeting and to the Procuring Entity. The responsibility
of the parties for actions to be taken shall be decided by the Project Manager either at the
management meeting or after the management meeting and stated in writing to all who
attended the meeting.
31.1 The Contractor shall warn the Project Manager at the earliest opportunity of specific likely
future events or circumstances that may adversely affect the quality of the work, increase
the Contract Price, or delay the execution of the Works. The Project Manager may require
the Contractor to provide an estimate of the expected effect of the future event or
circumstance on the Contract Price and Completion Date. The estimate shall be provided by
the Contractor as soon as reasonably possible.
31.2 The Contractor shall cooperate with the Project Manager in making and considering
proposals for how the effect of such an event or circumstance can be avoided or reduced by
anyone involved in the work and in carrying out any resulting instruction of the Project
Manager.
C. Quality Control
32.1 The Project Manager shall check the Contractor's work and notify the Contractor of any
Defects that are found. Such checking shall not affect the Contractor's responsibilities. The
Project Manager may instruct the Contractor to search for a Defect and to uncover and test
any work that the Project Manager considers may have a Defect.
33. Tests
33.1 If the Project Manager instructs the Contractor to carry out a test not specified in the
Specification to check whether any work has a Defect and the test shows that it does, the
Contractor shall pay for the test and any samples. If there is no Defect, the test shall be a
Compensation Event.
34.1 The Project Manager shall give notice to the Contractor of any Defects before the end of the
Defects Liability Period, which begins at Completion, and is defined in the SCC. The Defects
Liability Period shall be extended for as long as Defects remain to be corrected.
34.2 Every time notice of a Defect is given, the Contractor shall correct the notified Defect within
the length of time specified by the Project Manager's notice.
74
35. Uncorrected Defects
35.1 If the Contractor has not corrected a Defect within the time specified in the Project Manager's
notice, the Project Manager shall assess the cost of having the Defect corrected, and the
Contractor shall pay this amount.
D. Cost Control
7
36. Contract Price
36.1 The Bill of Quantities shall contain priced items for the Works to be performed by the
Contractor. The Bill of Quantities is used to calculate the Contract Price. The Contractor will
be paid for the quantity of the work accomplished at the rate in the Bill of Quantities for each
item.
8
37. Changes in the Contract Price
37.1 If the final quantity of the work done differs from the quantity in the Bill of Quantities for the
particular item by more than 25 percent, provided the change exceeds 1 percent of the Initial
Contract Price, the Project Manager shall adjust the rate to allow for the change. The Project
Manager shall not adjust rates from changes in quantities if thereby the Initial Contract Price
is exceeded by more than 15 percent, except with the prior approval of the Procuring Entity.
37.2 If requested by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with
a detailed cost breakdown of any rate in the Bill of Quantities.
38. Variations
38.1 All Variations shall be included in updated Programs9 produced by the Contractor.
38.2 The Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with a quotation for carrying out the
Variation when requested to do so by the Project Manager. The Project Manager shall assess
the quotation, which shall be given within seven (7) days of the request or within any longer
period stated by the Project Manager and before the Variation is ordered.
38.3 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.
38.4 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.
7In lump sum contracts, replace GCC Sub-Clauses 36.1 as follows:
36.1 The Contractor shall provide updated Activity Schedules within 14 days of being instructed to by
the Project Manager. The Activity Schedule shall contain the priced activities for the Works to be
performed by the Contractor. The Activity Schedule is used to monitor and control the performance of
activities on which basis the Contractor will be paid. If payment for materials on site shall be made
separately, the Contractor shall show delivery of Materials to the Site separately on the Activity
Schedule.
8In lump sum contracts, replace entire GCC Clause 37 with new GCC Sub-Clause 37.1, as follows:
The Activity Schedule shall be amended by the Contractor to accommodate changes of Program or
method of working made at the Contractor's own discretion. Prices in the Activity Schedule shall not
be altered when the Contractor makes such changes to the Activity Schedule.
9In lump sum contracts, add “and Activity Schedules” after “Programs.” 10In lump sum contracts,
delete this paragraph.
38.5 The Contractor shall not be entitled to additional payment for costs that could have been
75
avoided by giving early warning
38.6 If the work in the Variation corresponds to an item description in the Bill of Quantities and if,
in the opinion of the Project Manager, the quantity of work above the limit stated in Sub-
Clause 39.1 or the timing of its execution do not cause the cost per unit of quantity to change,
the rate in the Bill 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 the Bill of Quantities, the quotation by the Contractor shall be
in the form of new rates for the relevant items of work
38.7 Value Engineering: The Contractor may prepare, at its own cost, a value engineering proposal
at any time during the performance of the contract. The value engineering proposal shall, at
a minimum, include the following;
a) the proposed change(s), and a description of the difference to the existing contract
requirements;
b) a full cost/benefit analysis of the proposed change(s) including a description and estimate
of costs (including life cycle costs) the Procuring Entity may incur in implementing the value
engineering proposal; and
c) a description of any effect(s) of the change on performance/functionality.
38.8 The Procuring Entity may accept the value engineering proposal if the proposal
demonstrates benefits that:
a) accelerate the contract completion period; or
b) reduce the Contract Price or the life cycle costs to the Procuring Entity; or
c) improve the quality, efficiency, safety or sustainability of the Facilities; or
d) yield any other benefits to the Procuring Entity, without compromising the functionality of
the Works.
38.9 If the value engineering proposal is approved by the Procuring Entity and results in:
a) 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
b) 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 the
Contract Price.
39.1 When the Program11, is updated, the Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with an
updated cash flow forecast. The cash flow forecast shall include different currencies, as
defined in the Contract, converted as necessary using the Contract exchange rates.
40.1 The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager monthly statements of the estimated
value of the work executed less the cumulative amount certified previously.
40.2 The Project Manager shall check the Contractor's monthly statement and certify the amount
to be paid to the Contractor.
40.3 The value of work executed shall be determined by the Project Manager.
40.4 The value of work executed shall comprise the value of the quantities of work in the Bill of
Quantities that have been completed12.
40.5 The value of work executed shall include the valuation of Variations and Compensation
Events.
76
40.6 The Project Manager may exclude any item certified in a previous certificate or reduce the
proportion of any item previously certified in any certificate in the light of later information.
40.7 Where the contract price is different from the corrected tender price, in order to ensure the
contractor is not paid less or more relative to the contract price (which would be the tender
price), payment valuation certificates and variation orders on omissions and additions valued
based on rates in the Bill of Quantities or schedule of rates in the Tender, will be adjusted by
a plus or minus percentage. The percentage already worked out during tender evaluation is
worked out as follows: (corrected tender price – tender price)/tender price X 100.
41. Payments
41.1 Payments shall be adjusted for deductions for advance payments and retention. The
Procuring Entity shall pay the Contractor the amounts certified by the Project Manager
within 30 days of the date of each certificate. If the Procuring Entity makes a late payment,
the Contractor shall be paid interest on the late payment in the next payment. Interest shall
be calculated from the date by which the payment should have been made up to the date
when the late payment is made at the prevailing rate of interest for commercial borrowing
for each of the currencies in which payments are made.
41.2 If an amount certified is increased in a later certificate or as a result of an award by the
Adjudicator or 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.
41.3 Unless otherwise stated, all payments and deductions shall be paid or charged in the
proportions of currencies comprising the Contract Price.
41.4 Items of the Works for which no rate or price has been entered in shall not be paid for by the
Procuring Entity and shall be deemed covered by other rates and prices in the Contract.
42.2 If a Compensation Event would cause additional cost or would prevent the work being
completed before the Intended Completion Date, the Contract Price shall be 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 increased and whether and by how
much the Intended Completion Date shall be extended.
42.3 As soon as information demonstrating the effect of each Compensation Event upon the
Contractor's forecast cost has been provided by the Contractor, it shall be assessed by the
Project Manager, and the Contract Price shall be adjusted accordingly. If the Contractor's
forecast is deemed unreasonable, the Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price based
on the Project Manager's own forecast. The Project Manager shall assume that the
Contractor shall react competently and promptly to the event.
42.4 The Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation to the extent that the Procuring
Entity's interests are adversely affected by the Contractor's not having given early warning or
not having cooperated with the Project Manager.
43. Tax
43.1 The Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price if taxes, duties, and other levies are
changed between the date 30 days before the submission of bids for the Contract and the
date of the last Completion certificate. The adjustment shall be the change in the amount of
tax payable by the Contractor, provided such changes are not already reflected in the
Contract Price or are a result of GCC Clause 44.
44.1 All payments under the contract shall be made in Kenya Shillings
45.1 Prices shall be adjusted for fluctuations in the cost of inputs only if provided for in the SCC. If
so provided, the amounts certified in each payment certificate, before deducting for
Advance Payment, shall be adjusted by applying the respective price adjustment factor to the
payment amounts due in each currency. A separate formula of the type specified below applies:
P = A + B Im/Io
where: P is the adjustment factor for the portion of the Contract Price payable.
A and B are coefficients13 specified in the SCC, representing the non-adjustable and adjustable
portions, respectively, of the Contract Price payable and Im is the index prevailing at the end of
the month being invoiced and IOC is the index prevailing 30 days before Bid opening for inputs
payable.
45.2 If the value of the index is changed after it has been used in a calculation, the calculation shall be
corrected and an adjustment made in the next payment certificate. The index value shall be
deemed to take account of all changes in cost due to fluctuations in costs.
46. Retention
46.1 The Procuring Entity shall retain from each payment due to the Contractor the proportion
stated in the SCC until Completion of the whole of the Works.
46.2 Upon the issue of a Certificate of Completion of the Works by the Project Manager, in
accordance with GCC 53.1, half the total amount retained shall be repaid to the Contractor
and half when the Defects Liability Period has passed and the Project Manager has certified
78
that all Defects notified by the Project Manager to the Contractor before the end of this
period have been corrected. The Contractor may substitute retention money with an “on
demand” Bank guarantee.
47.1 The Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Procuring Entity at the rate per day
stated in the SCC for each day that the Completion Date is later than the Intended
Completion Date. The total amount of liquidated damages shall not exceed the amount
defined in the SCC. The Procuring Entity may deduct liquidated damages from payments due
to the Contractor. Payment of liquidated damages shall not affect the Contractor's liabilities.
47.2 If the Intended Completion Date is extended after liquidated damages have been paid, the
Project Manager shall correct any overpayment of liquidated damages by the Contractor by
adjusting the next payment certificate. The Contractor shall be paid interest on the
overpayment, calculated from the date of payment to the date of repayment, at the rates
specified in GCC Sub-Clause 41.1.
48. Bonus
48.1 The Contractor shall be paid a Bonus calculated at the rate per calendar day stated in the SCC
for each day (less any days for which the Contractor is paid for acceleration) that the
Completion is earlier than the Intended Completion Date. The Project Manager shall certify
that the Works are complete, although they may not be due to be complete.
49. Advance Payment
49.1 The Procuring Entity shall make advance payment to the Contractor of the amounts stated
in the SCC by the date stated in the SCC, against provision by the Contractor of an
Unconditional Bank Guarantee in a form and by a bank acceptable to the Procuring Entity in
amounts and currencies equal to the advance payment. The Guarantee shall remain effective
until the advance payment has been repaid, but the amount of the Guarantee shall be
progressively reduced by the amounts repaid by the Contractor. Interest shall not be charged
on the advance payment.
49.2 The Contractor is to use the advance payment only to pay for Equipment, Plant, Materials, and
mobilization expenses required specifically for execution of the Contract. The Contractor
shall demonstrate that advance payment has been used in this way by supplying copies of
invoices or other documents to the Project Manager.
49.3 The advance payment shall be repaid by deducting proportionate amounts from payments
otherwise due to the Contractor, following the schedule of completed percentages of the
Works on a payment basis. No account shall be taken of the advance payment or its
c c
50. Securities
50.1 The Performance Security shall be provided to the Procuring Entity no later than the date
specified in the Letter of Acceptance and shall be issued in an amount specified in the SCC, by a
bank or surety acceptable to the Procuring Entity, and denominated in the types and
proportions of the currencies in which the Contract Price is payable. The Performance
Security shall be valid until a date 28 day from the date of issue of the Certificate of
Completion in the case of a Bank Guarantee, and until one year from the date of issue of the
Completion Certificate in the case of a Performance Bond.
51. Dayworks
51.1 If applicable, the Dayworks rates in the Contractor's Bid shall be used only when the Project
Manager has given written instructions in advance for additional work to be paid for in that
way.
79
51.2 All work to be paid for as Dayworks shall be recorded by the Contractor on forms approved
by the Project Manager. Each completed form shall be verified and signed by the Project
Manager within two days of the work being done.

Contractor shall supply them by the dates stated in the SCC.
55.3 If the Contractor does not supply the Drawings and/or manuals by the dates stated in the
SCC pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 56.1, or they do not receive the Project Manager's
approval, the Project Manager shall withhold the amount stated in the SCC from payments
due to the Contractor.
