CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION
Scope, Coverage, and Application Principles in Community-Based Procurement

14 Community-Based Procurement Manual

1. Introduction

It also refers to the contracting of the entire or a portion of the works in an infrastructure community project. It is the most sensitive disbursement of funds. because it involves

Since the Kalahi-CIDSS Project (KC Project) aims to empower communities by giving them control over the resources and implementation of community projectss, the communities through the Barangay Community Project Management Committee (BSPMC) is responsible for procurement. They have the authority to make decisions but they are also accountable for ensuring the quality of the goods and services are based on the technical specifications. They also ensure that the award is made using the criterion of Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid/Quotation. At the same time, they have to make sure that transparency is observed and fair competition among qualified contractors and suppliers are undertaken.

2. Scope, Coverage, and Application


2.1. Coverage The manual will be used for all procurement activities by the BSPMC for the KALAHICIDSS project and may be used for projects funded by other funding donors following the projects processes. 2.2. Scope The provisions shall apply to the procurement of goods, works, and consulting services whether the funds are local counterparts or from the grant. The provisions of this manual will only cover approved procurement packages based on the approved Planned Community Procurement Package (PCPP) and will not cover the acquisition of right-of-way site or location of infrastructure projects and leasing of government-owned facilities.

3. Principles in Community-Based Procurement


Fairness (Fair dealing) - it is competitive by extending equal opportunity to enable private contracting parties who are eligible and qualified to participate in public procurement. Service providers should be treated fairly and without unfair discrimination, including protection of commercial confidentiality where required. A competitive procurement process treats service providers equitably and provides fair grounds for competition among themselves, thereby ensuring that no single service provider significantly influences the outcome of the procurement. Effectiveness it should be simple and applicable to the community and the processes should be carried out as cost effective as possible. Economy The BSPMC shall use the Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid 4 / Quotation 5 and the most advantageous to the BSPMC as criteria for selection of service providers. Transparency - transactions during procurement process and implementation must be transparent. There should be openness and clarity on procurement policy and its delivery. Toward this end, posting in the regional newspapers (for bidding) and in conspicuous places within the Region, Province, Municipality or Barangay, in television or radio stations or any other possible means, as the case maybe, is required for all procurements. Moreover, the BSPMC-BAC must invite the Technical

During the course of the implementation of the community project, the Deputy Area Coordinator (DAC) should provide technical assistance to the community volunteers relative to the procurement and contract management.

4.5

Procurement Monitoring Of Red Flags


The community volunteers will encounter red flag of abnormalities in the conduct of procurement activities. These red flags will provide a signal for the Area/Municipal Coordinating Team (A/MCT) and Regional Project Management Team (RPMT) to intensify supervision and undertake corrective measures. The community volunteers should be briefed regarding the Community Facilitators Red Flag Procurement Monitoring Form 7.

The Community Facilitators Red Flag Procurement Monitoring Form can be found in the procurement manuals annexes.

This section elaborates on the formation of a Procurement Team within the BSPMC.

5.1

Procurement Team
The Barangay Assembly (BA) members elect at least three members of the Procurement Team during the Second Barangay Assembly (2nd BA). While the membership is elected 8, the minimum qualification should be at least high school level or graduate. However, if there are elementary graduates that have experience in local procurement, they are also welcome provided they are dedicated to do the tasks. It is clarified that while the membership is elected, it does not mean that any member of the community can be a PT member. Furthermore, it is clarified that the selection with minimum qualification is not defeating the principle of inclusion but rather ensuring that fiduciary requirements are complied in accordance with this manual. The Procurement Team shall be in charge of activities required to facilitate acquisition of all supplies, materials, equipment, labor from suppliers and contractors.
Specific Functions of the Project Procurement Team Prepares procurement documents Acts as Canvassers Prepares and finalizes Planned Community Procurement Packaging (PCPP) & Community Employment Record Sheet (CERS) with the assistance of DAC Assists in the presentation of PCPP and CERS during Barangay Assembly Receives and records bids/quotations Acts as Secretariat to the Bids and Awards Committee Assists in updating the status of ACPP and CERS Prepares evaluation report of performance of suppliers/contractors

Elected in this statement to mean chosen from at least high school level or graduate.

24 Community-Based Procurement Manual

To be effective in their work, the Barangay Community Project Management Committee Members and the Procurement Team members should undergo the following: 1. Comprehensive Orientation Workshop on the Kalahi-CIDSS 2. Procurement Training which covers the procurement policies, alternative procurement methods and procedures, monitoring and reporting. 3. Workshop of the preparation of Planned Community Procurement Packaging (PCPP) should be conducted before Community Project Implementation. The Regional Project Management Team shall provide technical assistance and monitor the conduct of these activities.

5.2

Bids and Awards Committee (BAC)


Each BSPMC shall establish a single BAC for its procurement. The BSPMC may use the existing BAC (previously created during Cycle 1 and Cycle 2) or create a new BAC (for Cycle 2 and Cycle 3) with the following composition: 1. Barangay Treasurer 2. Chairperson of the Community Project Preparation Committee 9 3. One member to be elected by BSPMC Executive Committee . Elected barangay officials are disqualified. - Legal Reference: RA 7160, Section 109, Item Number 3, states that ... The
Barangay Officials shall Monitor and evaluate the implementation of national or local programs and projects.

The BAC members shall elect the BAC chairperson. The BSPMC Chairperson, as approving authority on all transactions, is disqualified to be a BAC member and the Barangay Treasurer is disqualified to head the BAC. The LGU COA Auditor, Barangay Captain, Area Coordinator, Deputy Engineer and the Barangay Audit and Inventory Committee Head will be invited to sit as nonvoting members. Other interested parties are also encouraged to observe the BAC proceedings. For the procurement of Consultancy services or service provider chargeable to the Technical Assistance Fund (TAF) especially the new municipalities where no established BSPMC composition yet, the BAC will be coming from the lead barangay comprising of the Treasurer, Project Preparation team (PPT) Chairperson and the Barangay Representation Team (BRT) Chairperson. A Technical Working Group (TWG) shall be formed with the assistance of the Area Coordinating Team. The TWG shall assist the BAC in bid evaluation and shall be composed of the following: 1. Area Coordinator or Deputy Area Coordinator

25 Community-Based Procurement Manual

The BSPMC executive committee is composed of the BSPMC chairperson and heads of teams under the BSPMC.

2. Municipal Engineer/Municipal Agricultural Officer/CENRO/MENRO (depends on the type of contract) 3. Supervising Community Project Engineer/Leadman/Foreman (if municipal engineer is not available) 4. Roving Bookkeeper 5. Volunteer professionals in the community (if any)

5.3

Functions of the BAC


The BAC shall have the following functions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Advertises and /or posts the invitation to bid Conducts pre-procurement and pre-bid conferences Determines eligibility of prospective bidders Receives bids Conducts the evaluation of bids with assistance of the TWG Undertakes the post-qualification proceedings, including forwarding to the ACT TWG the contractors/suppliers for eligibility verification 10 proceedings where applicable (For MCC-funded project/s only). 7. Recommends the award of contract to BSPMC Chairperson. When BSPMC Chairperson disapproves the recommendation, such disapproval shall be based on valid, reasonable and justifiable grounds to be expressed in writing, copy furnished the BAC. 8. Performs such other related functions as may be necessary, including the creation of Technical Working Group from a pool of technical, financial and/or legal experts to assist in the procurement process

The BAC shall also be responsible for ensuring that the BSPMC follows the standards outlined in this Community-Based Procurement Manual. The BSPMC is the representative of the owner community. In effect, it represents the head of the procuring entity and approves contract with the Chairman being authorized to sign it. The BAC is a mere creation of the BSPMC. Responsibility therefore cannot be delegated to the BAC.

Eligibility verification follows the existing KALAHI-CIDSS Project. This mean that Contractors or Suppliers and Service Providers possessed the capacity to perform or deliver the Contract/s.

CHAPTER 6 | PROCUREMENT PROCESS


Procurement Planning Presentation to the Barangay Assembly Finalization of Planned Community Procurement Packaging Implementation of the Planned Community Procurement Packaging Monitoring Procurement Compliance Billboards

27 Community-Based Procurement Manual

6.1

Procurement Planning
Procurement Planning starts after the Community Project Preparation Committee has completed the detailed project proposal and budget, complete with technical specifications, drawings and bill of materials (for infra community projects). The BSPMC shall prepare a procurement package called Planned Community Procurement Package (PCPP). Procurement package is a group of similar goods, works or services that can be purchased from one supplier or work items that can be performed or implemented by a single contractor or a an activity that can be performed by a consultant. A procurement action plan (PAP) shall also be prepared indicating the timeline to complete the activity, responsible volunteers and project staff, venue of meeting and place/s to conduct procurement, packages to be procured, and list of potential service providers 11. Procurement planning ensures that the overall goal of a particular community project will be achieved effectively and efficiently. Through procurement plan, the BSPMC is able to effectively manage and track procurement all the way to contract implementation. The procurement will allow the BSPMC to be cost efficient in its procurement. Proper planning ensures that only goods, infrastructure projects, and consulting services which have been included in the approved PCPP. Procurement planning should be done within the approved estimated budget. Prior to the conduct of actual procurement, the PCPP must be approved by the RPMO. The A/MCT shall provide a copy of the PCPP to the Regional Community Infrastructure Specialist (RCIS) for review. The A/MCT can submit the PCPP electronically 12 to the RCIS for online review, comments and approval. Approval and/or comments should be provided to the ACT before the conduct of the procurement conference. The following are the activities of the Procurement Team: Meet with the Project Implementation Team (PIT) to discuss the different items that needs to be procured and their technical specifications and financial requirements. Group the items to be procured into procurement packages.

Sample Cases in Packaging Case 1: Hardware materials such as Cement, reinforcing steel bars, tie wires, common wire nails and other hardware materials must be grouped as one package. Aggregates such as sand, gravel and boulders must be in a separate package.

28 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Service providers pertain to suppliers, contractors or individual or firms providing services to the BSPMC. Either scanned copy for handwritten PCPPs or electronic copy. For Shopping and Bidding for works the POW must also be submitted as basis for review. The electronic means could save use of papers.

Example: Prepare a procurement package of the materials needed for the community project with the following materials: Particulars Selected Filling Materials Aggregate Base Coarse Sand Boulders Portland Cement 16 mm diameter RSB x 6M 10 mm diameter RSB x 6M 2"x3"x10' Coco Lumber 1/4" thick Ordinary Plywood 3 inches CWN Quantity 50 40 30 20 100 110 150 500 12 15 Unit Cu.M. Cu.M. Cu.M. Cu.M. Bags Pieces Pieces Bd. Ft. Pieces Kilos

Possible Packaging: Package 1: Selected Filling Materials Aggregate Base Coarse Sand Boulders Package 2: Portland Cement 16 mm diameter RSB x 6M 10 mm diameter RSB x 6M 1/4" thick Ordinary Plywood 3 inches CWN Package 3: 2"x3"x10' Coco Lumber 500 Bd. Ft. 100 110 150 12 15 Bags Pieces Pieces Pieces Kilos 50 40 30 20 Cu.M. Cu.M. Cu.M. Cu.M.

In areas where all the required materials can be taken from one supplier or if all suppliers in the locality can supply all the materials needed thus, package it as one. Case 2: For works, the first step is to define the items that can be undertaken by community force account (CFA) and have it packaged as separate package. For items that require heavy equipment, such items must be packaged separately.

29 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Example: Prepare a package for a road community project with common work items such as items 100 (Clearing and Grubbing), 105 (Sub-grade Preparation), Item 200 (Aggregate Sub-Base Coarse), Item 201 (Aggregate Base Coarse), Item 311 (Portland Cement Concrete Pavement), Item 500 (Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culvert), Item 505 (Grouted Riprap). Option 1: Package all the items as one since all can be undertaken by one contractor. Package 1: Item 105 Item 200 Item 201 Item 311 Item 500 Item 505 Option 2: PACKAGE 1: (It can be Shopping or Bidding depending on the threshold) Item 105 Item 200 Item 201 Item 311 Item 500 Item 505 Sub-grade Preparation Aggregate Sub-Base Aggregate Base Coarse 300 Linear Meter (PCCP) RCPC (0.61M diameter) Grouted Riprap Sub-grade Preparation Aggregate Sub-Base Aggregate Base Coarse 300 Linear Meter Item 311 (PCCP) RCPC (0.61M diameter) Grouted Riprap

PACKAGE 2: CFA PACKAGE 3: CFA PACKAGE 4: CFA

Notes: 1. This is a combined method of procurement. Items 105, 200 and 201 are mechanized so it will be undertaken by contract. Items 311, 500 and 505 were separated since it can be undertaken by CFA with 1 or 2 Pakyaw groups. 2. Breaking of packages in this particular case using combined method of procurement is not considered splitting since the purpose of undertaking the community project by contract and force account was based on the capacity of the community to implement it. Moreover, majority of the community can participate in the implementation and procurement process. The procurement packages should consider the implementation schedule and the releases of Grant Funds by tranche and local counterpart. The work items should be packaged into one. Procurement Team must observe the approved threshold for the procurement.

30 Community-Based Procurement Manual

The project does not allow splitting of goods and items of works. However, for selected goods, which are in extreme cases, considering the peculiarity of the areas covered by the project, appropriate packing must be done. Below are the definition and sample cases for clearer understanding: Splitting is the act of dividing or breaking up of contracts into smaller quantities and amounts, or dividing contract implementation into sub-contracts; but it can be undertaken/procured as one contract to circumvent or subvert the procurement method. Case 1: If the goods to be acquired can be procured in the Municipality and the method requires local bidding since it is within the threshold of bidding but the contract package were divided into several packages to evade the No-Objection-Letter (NOL) requirement from the National Project Management Office (NPMO) or the funding donor (World Bank, MCAPhilippines, others) then there is Splitting of Package/Contracts. Example: Package 1 : 300 Linear Meter Item 311 (PCCP) Estimated Budget for the Package : PhP. 941,219.78 Contract Amount = PhP. 940,219.78 Package 2: Item Item Item Item Item Item 105 Sub-grade Preparation 200 Aggregate Sub-Base 201 Aggregate Base Coarse 300 Surfacing 500 (1) - 0.60M diameter RCPC 505-Grouted Riprap

Estimated Budget for the Package : PhP. 501,434.02 Contract Amount: PhP. 501,434.00 Total Amount of Contracts= PhP.1, 442,653.80. Note: Obviously, the two packages can be combined but it was broken into 2 packages to evade bidding. Case 2: In cases of perishable goods like cement that are intended for different items of works and the community project requires bulk purchase but it is not realistic to deliver in the barangay given the lack of available storage and the distance as locations are in far flung areas, the community can break the packaging for cement into several package depending on the condition of the area to avoid spoilage. Likewise, for fuel and oil, if the conditions of the contract agreement do not apply to the condition of the area, several packages can be made for fuel and oil. Splitting under the KALAHI-CIDSS procurement guidelines depends on the purpose for which the contract is divided. If the purpose for the division of the contract/packages into artificial phases or subcontracts is to circumvent or evade the mandatory requirements as per Loan Agreement, the BSPMC is guilty of contract splitting thus, sanctions shall be imposed as per section 3.6 of the Procurement Policies. The service provider

31 Community-Based Procurement Manual

involved in the preparation must ensure proper packaging to avoid such sanctions. 1. Conduct resource assessment to find out which of the items are available within the barangay or within the municipality. They can visit the towns commercial center and check for possible suppliers. If not available within the municipality, they inquire for other possible sources in the areas near the municipality or any area within the province. They can also refer to the ACT and RPMT inventory of resource institutions, TA providers and suppliers. The Officer may already have a list of possible suppliers and the prevailing prices. 2. Review the Planned Community Procurement Packaging including the Community Employment Record in consultation with the Project Preparation Team. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will ensure that Deputy Area Coordinator (DAC) assesses the overall feasibility of municipal and other counterpart contributions during the detailed community project preparation. Community Monitoring Teams will ensure a record is kept of municipal inputs (cash, equipment and services) during the community project implementation to verify actual delivery against commitment. They will present this to the community during the fifth barangay assembly. The Planned Community Procurement Packaging will contain the following information: A. For Community Projects to be Executed Under Community Force Account (CFA) Mode Name of Community Project and Total Estimated Cost Community Project Duration LCC: In Cash, In kind. Package Number Package Item Procurement Method Estimated Cost: 1st Tranche, 2nd Tranche, 3rd Tranche Propose Implementation Schedule

B. Community Projects to be Executed Under Contract Contracting and implementation duration. Duration the First Tranche will last? Second? Third?

During updating of status, the date of actual request and date funds received must be indicated in the Actual Community Procurement Packaging. 3. Update the Actual Community Procurement Packaging. Writing the Technical Specifications, Scope of Work and Terms of Reference The Technical Specifications (for Procurement of Goods), Scope of Works (for Infrastructure Projects) or Terms of Reference (for Consulting Services) shall be considered. Specification - A detailed description of design criteria for a piece of work or material. Types of Specifications to be considered: 1. Technical Specifications

32 Community-Based Procurement Manual

- Is the document that provides the detailed description of the deliverables of the Supplier, Contractor or Consultant. - Describes the physical characteristics of the material or product being purchased, such as dimensions, grades of materials, physical properties, color, finish, and any other data that defines an acceptable product; may be supplemented by drawings or samples.
Definition from the Philippine Institute of Supply Management(PISM)

2. Functional Specifications - defines the job to be done rather than the method by which it is to be accomplished; do not limit the supplier/contractor to providing specific solution, thus enabling the supplier/contractor to create the best possible solution; used to solicit suppliers/contracto rs proposals for further evaluation by the BSPMC when a specific solution is not known. (Definition from the Philippine Institute of Supply
Management-PISM)

Examples: Works: Equipment that has capacity to excavate 360 cubic meters per day - the contractor will provide either Backhoe or Bulldozer. For Goods: e.g. Compact bulb that can last for 1000 hours.

3. Performance Specifications - describes the parameters of actual performance the item or service must meet; interested in results rather than method; can be described by a virtually unlimited choice of criteria and must be capable of being expressed by some clearly stated metric. Example: 1. Rice Mill must mill 20-30 Tons per day; 2. One (1)- Bagger Concrete Mixer that can continuously mix 90 bags per day.
-Definition from the Philippine Institute of Supply Management (PISM)

Developing Standards: What are the considerations in setting the standards and technical specifications? 1. The standards and technical specifications quoted in procurement documents should promote the broadest possible competition, while assuring the critical performance or other requirements for the goods and/or works under procurement; 2. The BSPMC should specify accepted standards based on the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with which the equipment or materials or workmanship should comply, except if such standard/s are unavailable or inappropriate, may be specified; and,

33 Community-Based Procurement Manual

3. the procurement documents should state that equipment, material or workmanship meeting other standards, which promise at least substantial equivalent, should also be accepted. The Use of Brand Name Use of Brand Name/s is not allowed as it limits competition and thus, increases likelihood of higher prices. May or may not improve the chances of receiving better quality; nevertheless, they typically cost more as a result of higher advertising cost to create the brand name.

6.2 Presentation to the Barangay Assembly


The Procurement Team Head or the BSPMC Chairperson presents the Planned Community Procurement Packaging to the community during the fifth BA. This is part of the presentation of the detailed community project proposal prior to its submission to the MIAC for Technical Review. This is also the same venue where the community members finalize their decision on local counterpart contribution. It would be very helpful if representatives of the Municipal LGU, such as the Municipal Engineer and Municipal Treasurer and other LGU technical staff who can provide technical assistance are invited to this presentation. The Presentation targets to achieve the following: 1. The community should be able to identify which of the locally available items can form part of the local contribution or can be accessed from the LGU, through the information of the Municipal Engineer and the Municipal Treasurer. (This would be the basis of the negotiation with the Mayor and the Municipal Council by the BSPMC and the Area Coordinating Team Leader.) 2. Draw out suggestions from the barangay members of possible suppliers and contractors, which can be added to the list prepared by the Procurement Team. All issues raised and agreements reached should be reflected in the minutes of the Assembly Meeting. The Procurement Team should refer to this when finalizing the Planned Community Procurement Packaging and Community Employment Record.

6.3 Finalization of the Planned Community Procurement Packaging and Community Employment Record
1. Indicate items in the procurement packages included in the draft but which have been agreed to form part of the community or LGUs local contribution in kind or in cash. 2. Submit one copy of the final Planned Community Procurement Packaging and Community Employment Record to the BSPMC ExeCOM and engineers for review. Once approved and signed by the BSPMC Chairperson, these shall form part of the documents attached to the communitys final community project proposal for

34 Community-Based Procurement Manual

submission to the MIBF. The Area Coordinating Team will retain a photocopy of the above documents after final approval of community projects by the MIBF. The final plan will be used during the implementation once the proposal is approved by the MIBF. 3. The Barangay Treasurer prepares projected cash requirements using the Planned Community Procurement Packaging as guide. This is important to DSWD so it can have an accurate forecast of the funds flow. 4. The A/MCT-DAC can now prepare a consolidated monthly a disbursement schedule for all Community Projects for the municipality. This will form part of their disbursement target.

6.4 Implementation of the Planned Community Procurement Packaging


1. While waiting for the grant funds, the Procurement Team should already start with the preparatory procurement activities based on the approved plan and in coordination with the Community Project Implementation Team. It is clarified that the term start would mean approval of the PCPP by the RPMO thru the RCIS. 2. The Area Coordinating Team shall provide the BSPMC and other barangay volunteers a skills enhancement training on Community Finance, Community Procurement and Basic Community Infrastructure. GUIDES IN FILLING UP THE PLANNED COMMUNITY PROCUREMENT PACKAGE (PCPP) References and documents at hand: a. Program of works with detailed estimates and bill of materials, Construction and Schedule (Gantt or Bar Chart) b. Manpower and equipment capability outputs c. Construction method d. Inventory of possible contractors for works e. Inventory of possible suppliers in the area (to include inventory available materials they can supply) f. Community Employment Record Sheet (for Labor), Local Counterpart Contribution Plan g. Certifications of local counterpart contribution/s (LCC) Steps in Preparing the PCPP: 1. Based on the references and definition, the first step is to review the proposed construction method and match with the Gantt chart or work schedule. List down the subsidiary 13 work items to complete the pay item and identify the required materials needed based on the detailed estimates and bill of materials. Implementation schedules should be a major consideration in preparing the PCPP. The implementation schedule will guide the programmer and volunteers in determining what applicable tranche will be requested. The release of the local

35 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Items that are within the major item of work needed to accomplish that particular item e.g. Construction of Concrete Pavement for a Drying Pavement requires formworks. The formwork is the subsidiary item.

13

counterpart contribution (LCC) should also be a major consideration in preparing the PCPP. 2. Since most of KC projects are expected to be completed within 3-6 months, realistic projections have to be kept in mind in preparing the procurement packages. Weighted percentage of possible work items to be completed per month has to be reflected at the Gantt chart to guide on the required physical accomplishments needed for the requests of succeeding tranches. 3. Once it was decided that the works items listed on the initial months can trigger for the requests of next tranches, start preparing the procurement packages. For Goods: As a general rule, group similar materials that can be purchased from possible suppliers in the locality. (Make use of the inventory of suppliers and construction materials sold). For Works: As a general rule, group the works that can be performed or implemented by a single contractor and group items of works that can be undertaken by community force account. Based on the foregoing, the best way is to determine the items that can be undertaken by community force account (CFA) and have it packaged as separate package. If the community has no capacity to undertake any of the items of works as the works requires mechanized equipment and specialized skills, all the items must be packaged into one and undertake it by contract. 4. Once you have already identified the type of materials needed per package, review the implementation schedule/Bar Chart, manpower capability output and determine the required quantities of construction materials. Provide the unit cost per item materials and total the cost of packages to guide you on what procurement methods are applicable. (There will be work items that continue to be undertaken on succeeding months but will fall on next tranches and will require separate packaging.) Local Shopping Goods package with total estimated cost of not more than P500, 000.00. Local Bidding Goods package with total estimated cost of more than P500,000.00. Direct contracting package with total estimated cost of not more than P125, 000.00 5. If the proposed work items are not within the capacity of the community and municipality to implement, a package for works will be prepared and will observe the procurement method. Local Shopping works package with an estimated cost not more than P 1,250,000. Local Bidding works package with total estimated cost of more than P1,250,000. Direct Contracting small package with total estimated cost not more than P250,000.00 6. It is important that the specifications of required materials for purchase are clearly indicated in the PCPP for the reason that other Procurement Team members that will prepare the canvass form and/or Invitation to Quote/Bid will copy the procurement packages.

36 Community-Based Procurement Manual

7. Once the packages are determined, sum-up all the costs of each package to determine the amount and percent of tranches to be requested. The normal tranche is 50%-40%-10% of the total KC Grant for the community project. Flexible tranches as a result of appropriate packaging are allowed by the Project; 60-30-10; 70-2010; or 80-10-10 for community project that will require big initial investment. 8. Schedules of local counterpart delivery must also be considered. If the community, barangay and municipal LCC can be delivered on the first, second tranches, it must be clearly indicated on the respective column and form (Cash and in-kind LCC). 9. Group the packages subject for shopping and bidding. 10. Based on the implementation schedule, determine the activities and corresponding package/s that will be needed to immediately start and will provide significant accomplishment (will result to more than 30% which is the minimum requirement for the second tranche) that the community or the contractor can undertake in the given timeline. 11.Check the total amount of the package/s for the first tranche (with consideration to the implementation schedule/Gantt chart). The total amount of package/s grouped packages will dictate the amount of the first tranche. If the amount needed for the first tranche exceeded the regular tranching which is 50%-40%-10%, analyze the PCPP and draft a justification based on the PCPP when requesting for open tranche. 12. If the total amount of packages needed for the first tranche is below the regular 5040-10 tranching, the regular tranching will be applied. Shown in the succeeding page is an example in projecting the request for tranching (Estimators Guide)

In the given example, assuming that the community project can be completed in 90 calendar days, based on the projection it may be noticed that at the end of the first month the accomplishment is 75.40%. This will determine the first tranche that will be requested. The first tranche request could either be 70 or 80%. It is safe to request 80% first tranche.

6.5 Monitoring Procurement Compliance


1. The Community Facilitator (CF) has been designated to conduct procurement review in order to monitor procurement compliance. The purpose of monitoring procurement compliance is to ensure that all procurement transactions are done in accordance with the Revised KALAHI-CIDSS Community Procurement Manual. The CF must have the working knowledge of procurement to help them detect the red flags and abnormalities. The community may also refer to the CF procurement issues and problems. The CF must refer to the DAC engineering related issues and problems. 2. The CF will conduct procurement review 100% of all procurement of each BSPMC. The objective of the procurement review is not to find faults in community procurement but to find areas where improvements can be made for more efficient implementation. What is procurement review? Procurement review is the process of checking the conduct of procurement activity if it was done in accordance to the KC Procurement Policies and its Procedure of Procurement Methods. There are two parts in the procurement review, namely: a. Checking the completeness of the Procurement and Finance Documents by filling up the simplified Community Project Implementation Procurement and Finance Documents Filing Checklist. b. Detecting the Red Flag of Abnormalities in order to provide signals for field and regional staff to intensify supervision and undertake corrective measures by filling up the CF Procurement Red Flags Monitoring Form.

CHAPTER 7 | MODE OF IMPLEMENTATION


By Contract By Community Force Account

43 Community-Based Procurement Manual

7.1

By Contract
One or more packages undertaken by one or more contractors using his available resources will provide labor, materials and equipment in order to effect timely completion of the works. The BSPMC the representative of the owner community, will supervise the implementation of the community project.

7.2

Community Force Account


Community Force Account (CFA) refers to the community itself executing the work. This mode is appropriate when the community has the resources and capacity to perform the works. Portion of the work items maybe contracted if the community does not have capability and resources to undertake for the work items. What does capacity means under KALAHI-CIDSS? Capacity means the community has the ability to manage the implementation of the community project by hiring the services of skilled worker in the area. Technical Staff is available in the Community or they are willing to engage the services of a service provider who will supervise the project implementation. Resources include available local materials, labor, equipment in the community and other resources they can mobilize from the LGUs and other donors. Under the CFA mode of implementing, the barangay under the overall supervision of the Barangay Community Project Management Committee undertakes the following activities: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Procurement of construction materials, NRM inputs, tools and equipment Management of labor (skilled and unskilled) Execution of some of the work items in the POW Disbursement of Funds Preparation of monitoring reports Full Accounting to community members

Since implementation of an infrastructure community project involves certain highly technical work, the community will need assistance in: 1. Engineering design preparation, NRM planning; 2. Project supervision; and 3. Preparation of Physical and Financial Progress Reports.

44 Community-Based Procurement Manual

This can be provided by: a. Municipal Engineer, Municipal Agriculturist or Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO), Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer (CENRO), Provincial Environment Officer (PENRO), Municipal Environment Officer (MENRO) b. Technical Advisers from national government agencies such as the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), for certain specialized 14 community projects such as small water impounding or communal irrigation community project and Natural Resource Management projects. c. Community-hired private service provider/s using the budget of the community project for the supervision or the Technical Assistance Fund (TAF) 15. In the case of labor, it is important to know how the community project was estimated and funded because it will be the basis for engaging workers for labor. The two possible cases are given below: Case 1: Labor Cost is not fully funded out of KALAHI-CIDSS funds or portion of labor cost is part of community counterpart (Bayanihan or other form). This is the case in almost all community projects. The communities provide labor counterparts to increase the chances of being prioritized. Counter part is either in a form of cash or in-kind. Case 2: Labor Cost is 100% funded out of KALAHI-CIDSS funds or by the local counterpart (w/ assistance from the LGU). On both CASE 1 and 2, the community will purchase construction materials and inputs needed for community projects. This will be done through appropriate procurement method (e.g. local shopping, local bidding or direct contracting). For labor under CASE 1, the community (BSPMC) through the assistance of skilled worker will manage and supervise community workers participating in the implementation of the community project. The BSPMC will pay the workers in accordance with the agreed rate for skilled and unskilled labor. The actual cash to be paid and the equity (bayanihan) monetized cost will be indicated in the Community Employment Record. It is important that bookkeeper regularly tracks the monetized counterparts. For labor under CASE 2, the community (BSPMC) will invite interested laborers to work in the community project. Payment will be made by the BSPMC based on the actual accomplishments of the laborers. In both CASE 1 and 2, the BSPMC will utilize the technical assistance of municipal engineer and or technical service provider. It is important that records to monetize the services rendered by municipal/provincial staff is regularly updated by the community.

Specialized community projects are those that requires structural analysis for infra community projects and new technologies introduced by other agencies. 15 TAF eligibility and requirements shall be based on the guidelines set by the NPMO.

CHAPTER 8 | PROCUREMENT METHODS

46 Community-Based Procurement Manual

The different procurement methods that may be used by the community in community project implementation are the following:
Expenditure Category 1. GOODS Conditions Goods are available locally and there are several suppliers. Contract is valued at less than or around PhP 500,000.001 Recommended Methods Local Shopping Description Community solicits at least three separate price canvass from suppliers. Among the factors to be considered in choosing the potential suppliers are quality, availability, reliability and hauling costs. Simplified bidding process.

Same condition as above except that value of the contract is and above or more than P500,000.00 Small amount of purchase required and only one local supplier available. Cheaper to purchase because of reduced transportation cost. Contract value does not exceed P125,000.00

Local Bidding

The AC should have a copy of this database. Clearance from AC is required prior to contracting. Written quotations from at least three qualified licensed local contractors shall be obtained.

2. WORKS

Small works amounting to not more than US$25,000 or PhP1.25M Several local licensed contractors are available. Rental of equipment and manufacturing works are under this method. Only one local licensed contractor is available and the value of contract is not more than P250,000.00 This procurement method is also applicable for the Direct Contracting of Labor only (Pakyaw). Several local licensed contractors are available but contract price exceeds P1.25M.

Shopping for Work

Lone local contractor can be chosen without any shopping for works, provided within approved Program of Works (POW). Clearance from RPMT is required prior to contracting. Simplified1 open bidding procedure.

Local Bidding for Works

Prior Review Requirements


Prior review of the procurement documents by RPMO, NPMO and World Bank, MCA-P, others, is a requirement for Contract/Purchase Order amounting to PhP 500,000 or more or different contracts/purchase orders but with the same supplier or contractor, whose total aggregate amount is PhP 500,000 or more. Review will be done by the RPMO, NPMO or MCA-P, depending on the threshold, upon submission by the BSPMC of the

47 Community-Based Procurement Manual

request of No Objection Letter (NOL) together with the attached documents specified in the NOL review report. Any NOL issued by the RPMO is presumed to be thoroughly reviewed. Any contract/purchase order perfected without prior review and without issuance of NOL will be declared misprocured. The amount covered in the misprocurement will be deducted from the cost of the grant fund. Before entering into Contracts with the Contractors or serving Purchase Order to the suppliers the BSPMC shall secure NOL for the following: 1. Subject to prior review by the Regional Project Management Office (RPMO). Before the BSPMC issues Notice of Award and sign the contract or sign Purchase Order, all documents must first be submitted to the Regional Project Management Team for review and if found to be in order, the Regional Project Manager shall issue No Objection Letter. For GOODS: a. Individual purchase order amounting to PhP 500,000 but not to exceed PhP 1,000,000. b. Aggregate POs amounting to more than PhP1,000,000.00 Municipality proposed for award to a single supplier. within the

Sample Case: Two Barangays (say Barangays Poblacion East and Poblacion West) conducted serving of Invitation to different suppliers within the Municipality. Supplier X offered PhP560,000.00 to Poblacion East and offered PhP550,000 to Poblacion West, thus, the aggregated amount is PhP1,110,000. In this case, a NOL must be secured from the Regional Project Management Office (RPMO) before issuance or approval of Purchase Order. c. If the amount of a single PO/Contract is below PhP500,000, no need to secure NOL but the Area Coordinating Team shall ensure that the procurements made at the Barangay are done in accordance with the KC procurement procedures. For WORKS: a. Individual contract under Local Shopping of Works PhP500,000.00 or more but not to exceed PhP 1,250,000. amounting to

b. All contracts under Direct Contracting for Works regardless of the amount. PO/Contracts under Local Shopping for Goods and Works below PhP500,000.00 do not need prior approval by the RPMT but one out of every five community-based procurement contracts nationwide shall be subject to post-review. The Procurement Team should therefore make sure that all supporting documents of every contract are properly filed to facilitate submission in case it is selected for post-review. 2. Subject to prior review by the National Project Management Office (NPMO). Before BSPMC issues Notice of Award and sign the contract, all documents must first be submitted to the National Project Management Office for review and if found to be in order, the NPMO shall issue No Objection Letter.

48 Community-Based Procurement Manual

a. Individual PO under Local Bidding for Goods amounting to more than PhP1,000,000.00 but not more than PhP2,500,000. b. All Contract/s under Local Bidding for Works but not more than PhP2,500,000. 3. Subject to Funding Donorss No Objection. Before the BSPMC issues Notice of Award and sign the contract, it must first secure the approval of the funding donor e.g. World Bank, MCA-Philippines , through the Regional Project Management Team (RPMT). The RPMT shall review the documents before forwarding them to the National Project Management Team. In all cases, it shall be the National Project Management Team who shall secure and coordinate with the funding donor for NOL. a. Individual Purchase Order/Contract amounting to more than PhP2.5 Million per community project. b. Aggregate Contracts amounting to PhP2,500,000.00 or more within the Municipality proposed for award to a single supplier. For MCC-funded project/s: Contracts below PhP 2,500,000 generally do not need prior approval by the MCA-Philippines but during each Kalahi-CIDSS cycle, fifty (50) randomly-chosen community-based procurement contracts in part or whole area of coverage, regardless of amount, shall be subject to MCA-Philippines review proceedings. The procurement Team should therefore make sure that all supporting documents of every contract are properly filed to facilitate submission in case it is selected for review. 4. Prioritizing review of contracts All contracts requiring the donor and NPMO NOLs must be prioritized for review at the BSPMC, A/MCT and at the RPMO since it will require longer period for the issuance of NOL considering the review at the A/MCT, RPMO and NMPO. Normally, 14 days is allotted for the review from the A/MCT (2-days), RPMO (5 days), NMPO (5-days) and 2 days transmission. In cases of deficiencies, compliance to such defects or clarification must be given priority and immediate action.

9.4.3 DEFINITION OF TERMS USED IN LOCAL BIDDING 1. Bid Bid is a signed offer coming from a supplier/contractor interested to provide goods or undertake infrastructure work for the community. 2. Evaluated Bid This refers to the corrected bid after evaluation has been completed. 3. Bid Security a. Bid security is required to ensure that the successful bidder shall, within five calendar days from receipt of the Notice of Award, sign the contract with the BSPMC. It could be in the form of cash, check, bank draft, letter of credit or bank guarantee that serves as a guarantee that the successful bidder shall not default on his offer, and shall enter into contract with the BSPMC and furnish the performance security.

83 Community-Based Procurement Manual

b. The bid security shall be returned to the bidders only after the successful bidder has signed the Contract and posted the performance security, except if the bidder fails to comply with all the requirements and the bid is marked failed. c. Bidder, who wants to present cash as bid security, shall be instructed to deposit the amount to the communitys bank account and to attach the machine validated deposit slip to the bid documents to be placed in a sealed envelope. 4. Defects Liability Period This refers to the period from the date of issuance of Certificate of Completion of the works as certified by the BSPMC Chairman up to the date within which, the contractor shall still be liable for defects, shrinkage or other faults as determined by BSPMC. The contractor shall execute all such work needed to amend, reconstruct, or remedy at his own cost. 5. Eligibility Requirements These refer to qualifications set by the BAC for participating bidders. Some examples of qualifications are: a. Suppliers must have a SEC Registration, mayors permit or municipal license, or the Cooperative Development Authority, if a cooperative; b. Contractors for works must be either a duly licensed Filipino citizen or a sole proprietorship, or a duly registered partnership or corporation. 6. Minor Deviations These are deviations in the bid that can be corrected. Some examples are the following: a. Computational error such as when the total amount is not equal to the unit cost times the number of units. In this case, it is the unit cost, which should be taken as the correct amount, and the total price should be corrected. b. Discounts which do not have pre-conditions should be applied to the total price to get the net amount. c. Minor deviations shall be corrected and adjustments shall be computed to determine the calculated price. d. For MCC-funded sub-project/s: Where applicable, contractors must also pass the revised eligibility verification review, which will ensure that the contractor is not prohibited from receiving U.S. funds. 7. Major Deviations These are deviations which substantially affect the scope, quality or performance of the works; which limits the communitys rights under the contract; or one that if corrected would affect unfairly the comparative position of other bidders.

84 Community-Based Procurement Manual

The following are examples: a. Bid contains a different design that does not respond to the contract plans and specifications; b. Stipulates price adjustment when bid price should be fixed given the short duration of the contract; c. Proposed timeframe of implementation does not conform to the required period; d. Bid contains provision to exempt the bidder from some critical provisions of the contract. 8. Retention Money Retention fee refers to the 10% amount retained from all progress billings to cover uncorrected discovered defects and third party liabilities. This is mandatory for all contracts with PhP 1M or more in addition to performance Security. For contracts with less than PhP 1M, retention fee is only deducted from the progress billing when there is no Performance Security posted. The retention fee, if not called shall be refunded to the contractor after the expiration of the warranty period. The refund shall not be subjected to Withholding Tax. In case where closing of community account is mandated by the project, the BSPMC shall require the Contractor to convert to Bank Guarantee or Managers Check or Cashiers Check from a reputable bank. Upon receipt of the Bank Guarantee or Managers Check or Cashiers Check, the treasurer shall prepare a Disbursement Voucher and issue a check equal to the amount of retention. 9.4.4 ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES ON LOCAL BIDDING (also applies to Shopping for Works) 1. On receiving sealed bids a. The BSPMC Chairperson authorizes the Procurement Team members to receive the sealed bids. b. At least one Procurement Team member shall be stationed at the barangay hall to receive the bids. c. Receiving Procurement Team member should be advised to accept only bid documents that are contained in one sealed envelope with the name of the bidder written outside. Furthermore, that he/she is not authorized to open the envelope. d. Bids received after the deadline set shall automatically be rejected. 2. Modification and Withdrawal of Bids a. No bid shall be changed after the deadline for submission of bids. b. Withdrawal of bid between the deadline for submission and of bids and the expiration of the validity of bid will result in the contractor being

85 Community-Based Procurement Manual

disqualified from participating in any KALAHI-CIDSS Project for two (2) years. 3. Bid Opening (On the same day just after the time set as deadline for submission of bids) a. The Procurement Team prepares a checklist of all the documents required to be submitted. There should be as many copies of the checklist as the number of participating bidders. b. Bidders or their representatives and interested barangay residents may observe the bid opening. c. Bids with incomplete requirements specified in the Invitation to Bid shall be marked failed. All bids with complete requirements shall be marked passed and shall be considered for evaluation. d. Bid security submitted by bidders whose bids were marked failed should be returned.
Let us clarify things: What if a calamity such as typhoon or flash flood or other fortuitous event happened during the scheduled submission opening of bids? In such cases, postponing or re-scheduling is allowed for all methods of procurement. However, a certification coming from the A/MCT signed by the Area/Municipal Coordinator shall be attached to minutes during the re-scheduled opening stating the reasons for postponement/re-scheduling. The BAC should give at least 2 days for shopping for goods, at least 5 calendar days to a maximum of 7 calendar days for bidding for goods, shopping for works and bidding for goods as allowance before the re-scheduled opening. The BSPMC Chair should then prepare a Supplemental or Bid Bulletin following the procedures for publication (for bidding for works), posting, personal dissemination to bidders or other possible means to inform service providers of the postponement/re-scheduling.

4. Bid Evaluation a. The TWG shall assist the BAC in the evaluation of bids. The TWG should explain fully every step in the evaluation process as part of the capacity building of the BSPMC. b. The following shall be considered in the evaluation: The bid must be complete. This means that all the required items in the bidding documents should be addressed. Bid security must conform to the requirements of the Instruction to Bidders, as to type, amount, form and wording, and validity period. Minor and major deviations from the terms and conditions specified in the Instruction to Bidders.

5. Other Bids which should automatically be rejected a. Late bid submission b. Unsigned bid (using the Form of Bid) c. No acceptable bid security submitted or attached or insufficient bid security amount (if required)

86 Community-Based Procurement Manual

d. After examining all the bids, which have initially been marked passed, and after correcting for minor deviations, the bids shall be ranked from the lowest calculated bid to the highest
Let us clarify things: What do we mean by late bid submission and what is the basis of the time? For example the time set is 10:00 in the morning and a bidder submitted a bid at 10:01 in the morning then it is clear that the bidder is late by 1 minute. The bid must be rejected by the BAC or the Procurement Team receiving the bids. The basis of time shall be based on a watch or clock at the Barangay agreed, set and synchronized during the pre-bid conference. There is no such thing as Filipino time!

Let us clarify things: What do we mean by insufficient bid security? The project requires 2% Cash or Check (Managers Check or Cashiers Check or 2% Bank Guarantee from a commercial bank based on the offered bid price. For example: If the bid amount offered is PhP 1,255,000 and the bidder enclosed/submitted/attached an amount of PhP 25,000.00. The amount is lacking by PhP 100.00 that was found out during the preliminary examination using the pas/fail criteria checklist, thus, the bid security is insufficient. The bid offered will be rejected and will not be subjected for evaluation. Let us clarify things: What if the submitted bid security submitted is lacking by 1 peso? The term insufficient referred to in this community procurement manual means below the minimum bid security requirement therefore, if it is lacking by 1 peso the bid security is INSUFFICIENT and should be rejected. It is however clarified that the limit of computation is in pesos so lacking 1 centavo to 99 centavos is negligible. What if the bid security submitted was found to be insufficient as a result of re-calculation during the bid evaluation? In this case, the submitted bid security can be considered since the shortage was not intentional. The lacking amount shall be paid by the bidder or its representative to the BSPMC treasurer. Failure to pay the additional will be a ground for rejection. The treasurer will deposit the additional amount to the BSPMC account.

87 Community-Based Procurement Manual

What if only one bidder submitted a bid? One of the principles of procurement is fairness to mean there should be fair competition from amongst the service providers. The project would like to ensure that every service provider is given the opportunity to compete in KALAHI-CIDSS-funded projects. It is then recommended that all possible efforts to invite service providers through publication to regional, local newspapers or even national newspapers, radio, television, internet posting, posting in bulleting boards at the adjacent Provincial, Municipal or Barangay where the community project is located. Personal serving is also encouraged. The BSPMC should not limit preparation of three invitations for quotations/bids. However, under circumstances where limited service providers or if they are disinterested to participate then a single//lone bid can be accepted. If a single/lone bid is submitted, it should not be a ground for declaring a failure of bidding and the BSPMC shall conduct the following: The BAC will conduct bid evaluation. If bidder passed in the bid evaluation, the lone bidder will be subjected to post qualification evaluation. If he passed in the post qualification evaluation , he will be declared as the Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bidder. evaluation and/or post-qualification evaluation. Re-bidding will be conducted.

6. Post-Qualification (Within three days after declaration of bidder with the lowest calculated bid) a. The BAC, assisted by the Procurement Team shall validate the truthfulness of the eligibility requirements submitted by the bidder with the lowest calculated price. This may involve verifying the availability and condition of the equipment to be used by the bidder. This should be completed within two days from the determination of the lowest calculated bidder. It should be noted that this post-qualification procedure will no longer include an eligibility check of the contractor against the blacklist maintained by the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB). b. If the bidder passes the post qualification, he/she shall be declared as the bidder with the Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid (LCRB). If the bidder fails, the BAC shall immediately notify him in writing. c. If the lowest bidder failed in the post-qualification, then the second lowest bidder will be subjected to post qualification. If the second lowest bidder passed in the post qualification, it will be declared as the Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid. d. Even if there is a pending request for reconsideration, the BAC shall undertake post qualification of the next in rank bidder. e. If the post disqualified bidder submits a request for reconsideration, the BAC shall immediately convene to make a decision taking into consideration the justification or explanation of the bidder. The BAC shall notify the bidder of the decision in writing. f. If the request for reconsideration is denied and the next in rank bidder passes the post qualification, the latter shall be declared the bidder with the Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid.

88 Community-Based Procurement Manual

g. If the second lowest bidder fails in the post qualification, the process will be repeated for the bidder with the next lowest calculated bid and again be repeated until a bidder is declared as the bidder with the LCRB. h. If no bidder passes the post qualification, the bidding shall be declared a failure. Re-bidding will be conducted. If the same situation results from the second bidding, the BSPMC can enter into negotiated contract.
What does Post Qualification entail?

A: Postqualification involves the BAC verifying, validating and ascertaining that the bidder satisfies the following: 1. LEGAL Requirements. The post-qualification process under this criterion involves the verification, validation and ascertaining of the contractors claim that ii is not included in any government blacklist, as well as all the licenses, permits and other documents it submitted, including the following: a.

Verification of availability and commitment, and/or inspection and testing, of equipment units to be owned or leased by the bidder, as well as checking the performance of the bidder in its ongoing govt or private contracts, e.g. examine the Construction Schedule, Construction Methods, Equipment Utilization Schedule, List of projects undertaken or ongoing and to be started. c. Verification if any bidders on-going contracts show: A reported negative slippage of at least 15%; Substandard quality of work per contract plans and specifications; Unsatisfactory performance of his obligations as per contract terms and conditions, at the time of inspection; or That the minimum required experience of the bidders key personnel were not met; All of which will be grounds for disqualification if found by the BAC to be due to the bidders fault or negligence. d. other documents specified in the invitation to quote. 3. FINANCIAL Requirements. The BAC ought to verify, validate and ascertain the bid price proposal of the bidder and, whenever applicable, the required bank commitment to provide a credit line to the bidder in the amount specified and over the period stipulated. It also means verifying, validating and ascertaining, the bidders stated net worth and liquid assets, net working capital , the value of all outstanding or unfinished works under ongoing contracts, and the bidders NFCC, as recalculated considering developments in the bidders other projects. This is also done to ensure that the bidder can sustain the operating cash flow of the transaction. The process involves: a. Ascertaining of the sufficiency of the Bid Security (if required) as to type, amount, form and wording, and validity period; Ascertain the NFCC, credit line, or cash deposit; and, b. c. Examination of the BIR-audited financial statement.

7. Award of Contract (Within five days from post-qualification and declaration of bidder with Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid) The Notice of Award should be issued within five days after the final declaration of the bidder with LCRB or a day after the receipt of the No Objection from the Regional Project Director. If the first in rank bidder has been disqualified, the BSPMC/BAC shall wait for seven days to determine if the bidder will file a request for reconsideration. If none is received on the eight day, and the next in rank has been post qualified, the Notice of Award can be issued on that eight day. 8. Can the contractor ask for an advance payment?

89 Community-Based Procurement Manual

The BSPMC should only allow this if the contractor posts a bank guarantee for the advance payment, which is usually 15% of the total approved contract price. 9. Progress Payments Progress Payment shall be made upon request for payment for every substantial accomplishment not below 20% of the whole contract price as certified by the Project Supervisor noted by Project Implementation Team and or Municipal Engineer and approved by the BSPMC.

Guides in filling up the Procurement Action Plan (PAP) 1. The Procurement Action Plan (PAP) will be prepared in lieu of the required readiness filter documents for SPs undertaken by CFA. This will be supported by the Planned Community Procurement Packages (PCPP). Inappropriate packaging or splitting must be avoided to facilitate processing of grant funds. 2. The PAP and PCPP will be the basis of procurement monitoring and scheduling the post fiduciary review. 3. Schedules should be observed by the community volunteers and project staff. The PAP should be prepared following procurement activity duration of the procurement manual. 4. Specific name of responsible volunteers and project staffs who will participate and undertake the activity must be indicated on the plan. This is to observe the principle of accountability. Please take note that during Ex-post fiduciary review, the names should match with the corresponding documents such as the names of the PT members, canvasser on the canvass, otherwise, representation or justification has to be made for the deviations. 5. Venue of meetings and places where procurement activities are to be conducted must be specific. Locations of potential suppliers where canvasses per package are to be submitted must be indicated on the plan. It is very important that inventory of suppliers and contractors are done during the identification stage for proper guidance. This will observe the transparency principle of the project. 6. Under resource management, transportation expenses, reproduction costs that are chargeable under administrative cost must also be indicated for monitoring and accounting. These will practice the economy and effectiveness principle. 7. Under the remarks column, if the activities are already done prior to the submission, provide comments or observation of the activity conducted. 8. Dates for the serving of P.O.s under the first tranche and other activities must be specific while other packages under succeeding tranches must rationally follow the implementation schedule as indicated on the PCPP. 9. If the package falls on Local Bidding for Goods and will require RPMT or NPMT NOL, Purchase Order must not be issued unless No Objection Letter is issued. The transaction will be declared miss-procured once the provision is ignored. 10. In cases where direct contracting for Works is required, (e.g. fabrication of steel trusses, other specialized pay items), appropriate procurement procedures must be observed and RPMT NOL must be secured first before the issuance of contract. 11. It is expected that the documentations like the preparation of minutes of meeting will be more accurate and clear enough to understand what transpired during the activity and the agreements and actions are clearly captured on the minutes. 12. Posting of the Procurement Action Plan at the BSPMC office is a must. This will guide the volunteers on the activities to be performed on the given dates. This will also observe the principle of transparency.

CLARIFICATION ON THE USE OF SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY (SPA) and SUB-CONTRACTING IN KALAHI-CIDSS PROJECT
It has been observed that various community procurement of civil works for KALAHICIDSS community community projects, are resorting to the use of Special Power of Attorney (SPA).In some cases, SPAs are used for sub-contracting a project to one another Contractor. Hence the need to clarify, to wit: Section 4 of the government procurement Reform Act or R.A. 9184 provides that Any treaty or international or executive agreement affecting the subject matter of this act to which the Philippines is a signatory shall be observed. For MCC-funded project/s: The Compact Agreement signed between MCC and the Government of the Philippines provides that MCC Funding will be granted to DSWD to plan and implement community-chosen sub-projects in accordance with the KalahiCIDSS Project manuals approved by MCC. Thus, the procurement procedures provided for in this Community Procurement Manual, as acceptable to MCC shall be followed. It includes this directive and other addendum provisions to the Community Procurement Manual. A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is basically a contract known as Agency. By the contract of Agency, a person binds himself to render some service or to do something representation or on behalf of another, with the consent or authority of the latter (See; Art.1868, Civil code of the Philippines). Accordingly, in a contract of Agency, the principal allows an agent (Attorney-in-Fact) to do acts, service, or things for him as if personally present in certain transactions. Although the execution of an SPA is allowed under the law, the KALAHI-CIDSS: KKB Project ONLY allows the SPA authorizing the Attorney-in-Fact to represent the principal during the conduct of procurement transactions (i.e. submit bid, attend pre-bid conference, bid opening); BUT NOT in the implementation and execution of the contract, including bidding or shopping for works or goods. Moreover, the Attorney-in-Fact should be legally connected to or part of the Suppliers/Contractors firm. Under an SPA, therefore, the Attorney-in-Fact is ONLY an AGENT of the PRINCIPAL and is only authorized to represent the Principal during procurement proceedings in cases the Principal is not available. As such, the Agent SHOULD ONLY USE THE ELIGIBILITY, TECHNICAL, LEGAL and FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS OF ITS PRINCIPAL as required by R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A, and by KALAHI-CIDSS Community-Based Procurement Manual. It should NOT be allowed to use other documents/requirements (including his own) to prove the eligibility, technical and financial capacity of its principal. Even during Contract implementation, the principal should be the one directly and entirely responsible for the execution of the contract. While sub-contracting may be allowed under the Civil Works Generic Procurement Manual (See GPM Vol. III, p. 82) if given consent by the Procuring Entity, KALAHICIDSS does not ALLOW sub-contracting in any form, hence direct engagement to the legitimate contractor/supplier shall be observed. Procedures on procurement planning, packaging, implementation of the Planned Community Procurement Packaging (PCCP), and monitoring procurement compliance are clearly stipulated in the Community Procurement Manual. In cases where there is contradiction of provisions and procedures, between, R.A. 9184 and the KALAHI-CIDSS: KKB Community Procurement Manual, the latter and its addendum provisions shall be observed.

205 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Requirement for Philippine Standards (PS) Quality and/or Safety Certification Mark of Construction Materials used for Community Projects
Relative to the implementation of community projects, quality of construction materials purchased are seldom verified if it passed the Philippine National Standard. As a result, community projects making use of low-grade materials are at risk in terms of safety and sustainability. As an example, for potable water system community projects, communities using High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipes or Polyethylene (PE) pipes since it is easy to haul and install, but without PS Mark may cause harm to the water users. In this connection, we sought technical assistance from the Department of Trade and Industry-Bureau of Product Standards (DTI-BPS), they cautioned us not to acquire materials that did not pass BPS inspection, testing and certification requirements, as these products are considered unsuitable if it does not bear PS Mark. The PS Mark reveals a manufacturers compliance to the requirements of a Philippine National Standard (PNS). As such, the BPS authorizes a manufacturer to affix the PS mark on its product or its products packaging material, to let the buying public know that the marketed product has successfully passed DTI requirements. As a PS License holder, a manufacturer has shown evidence that it maintains a system according to the National Standard. This assures the consumers that the PS License holder can consistently satisfy them by making only safe and quality products. In view of the foregoing, you are hereby directed to include the PS Mark License when procuring goods especially pipes for potable water as a minimum requirement in the eligibility of the supplier/manufacturer. The intent of requiring the PS Mark License is to ensure product QUALITY, SAFETY and RELIABILITY. This is line with the KALAHI-CIDSS: KKB principle of sustainability and safeguard to ensure that materials supplied to the community projects complied with the National Standards.

206 Community-Based Procurement Manual

CLARIFICATION ON THE METHOD OF PROCUREMENT TO BE USED FOR RENTAL AND PROCUREMENT OF HAND TOOLS FOR COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Fiduciary reviews revealed that there were confusions on what method of procurement to be used in renting hand tools for use in community projects. Form used is either Canvass or Lease of Equipment. It was also observed that there were rentals for hand tools that are more expensive than procuring such tool/s. Hand tools such as Planer, Sander, Grinder, Drill/Drivers, Routers, Screw Gun, Rivet Gun, and the like, are commonly used in the construction of building community projects and these are normally included in the program of works. Some tools are needed for a few days and some are to be used in the entire duration of the community project. However, there are tools that costs more than the allowed budget for the tools provided in the ACT manual that is PhP. 4,000.00 per community project for buildings, thus, the community resorts to renting the needed tools. In view of the foregoing, we would like to reiterate that tools are considered goods as cited in the procurement manual (please refer to the example provided in the procurement manual). Hence, the proper form to be used is Canvass for Goods. For rental, the quantity indicated in the canvass form shall be in terms of the Estimated number of hours or days that the tool/s will be utilized while the Unit of measure to be used shall be in terms of hour/s or day/s. Using Canvass for goods requires less paper works rather than using Lease of Equipment which requires longer period of time and more paper works such as invitation to quote, contract, supplemental agreement, among others. In cases of rental of hand tools that are more expensive than the cost of the tool/s, it is recommended that said equipment will be procured chargeable to either LCC or grant. Provided, however, that Operation and Maintenance of the tool/s is established; and, a cost comparison is submitted/attached as part of the readiness filter. Provided further that utilization is discussed during Barangay Assemblies to discuss among others, turn over to the association/organization or the BLGU after the completion of works. In contrast, it is also reiterated that procurement of hand tools for water system community projects such as pipe wrench, threaders, and other tools for pipe installation is allowed for Operation and Maintenance.

207 Community-Based Procurement Manual

CLARIFICATION AND ENHANCEMENT ON THE PROCUREMENT METHOD FOR RENTAL OF EQUIPMENT USED IN COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Fiduciary reviews revealed that there were confusions on what procurement method should be used for the rental of equipment. Under the provisions of the CommunityBased Procurement Manual, rental of equipment except for trucking for the delivery of goods, is categorized as works. In the procurement process, documentary requirements for both light and heavy equipment are the same. For rental of equipment, the requirements include among others, the Invitation to Lease, Lease Agreement and Conditions of Contract. However, there are cases where categorization varies depending on the need as specified in the program of works. Categorize as follows: Equipment Rental as Goods if the equipment is to be used on an hourly or daily basis inclusive of fuel, oil, lubricants and operatorfully operated for heavy equipment e.g. bulldozer, grader, pay loader, etc The procurement form to be used in renting any equipment categorized as goods shall be Canvass and Purchase Order (please see attached format). This shall also apply to rental of light equipment such as concrete mixer, portable/plate compactor, water pump, concrete vibrator, chain block, welding machine, drilling machine, bar cutter, generator set, acetylene set, chain saw, and the like that are commonly used in the community projects. The unit and unit rate for any type of equipment shall be dependent on the requirement. Trucking/hauling as defined in the enhanced procurement manual is considered as goods. The unit and unit rate used shall be in terms of the quantity to be hauled e.g. 20 pieces Reinforced Concrete Pipes at PhP. 200 per piece, 50 rolls HDPE Pipes at PhP. 100 per roll, 40 cubic meters sand at PhP. 250 per cubic meter. The purchase order form used for trucking shall be the same as provided in this guideline. For purchase order amounting to PhP. 20,000.00 and below, payment shall be made upon delivery/completion. For amount of purchase order amounting to more than PhP. 20,000.00, the following conditions may be allowed:

1. The Lessor has the option to claim for advance payment up to fifteen (15) percent

provided a Bank Guarantee of equal amount from a reputable bank is submitted to the BSPMC and a certification from the DAC or the Municipal Engineer (if there is no DAC in the Municipality) the equipment is delivered at the project site. (20) percent without submitting a bank guarantee provided the DAC or the Municipal Engineer (if there is no DAC in the Municipality) certified that the equipment is being utilized on the date claimed.

2. The Lessor can claim partial payment if the accomplishment is at least twenty

Equipment Rental as Works - if the utilization of the equipment is based on the quantity of the item/s of work/s. Payment for rental under works is based on an output that the equipment will complete. Similar with Equipment Rental as Goods, equipment should be fully operated. The procurement form to be used in renting any equipment categorized as works shall be Invitation to Lease Equipment and Equipment Lease Agreement for Works (please see attached format). For contract amounting to PhP. 30,000.00 and below, payment shall be made upon completion of the contract. For contract amounting to more than PhP. 30,000.00 and

208 Community-Based Procurement Manual

above, the BSPMC may make advance payment to the Lessor in the amount up to fifteen (15) percent of the Contract Price only after the DAC had certified that the equipment is delivered at the project site and the Lessor has submitted to the BSPMC a Bank Guarantee of equal amount. The advance payment shall be repaid by making deductions for every progress billing with consideration that it is fully recoup upon reaching 80% physical accomplishment. Progress payment is allowed. The first recoupment shall start when accomplishment has reached 20% of the total contract price. Full payment shall be made only upon completion of the services with certification of the DAC and approval of the BSPMC. There shall be no retention money withheld on any progress billing for rental of equipment. It is reiterated that the detailed procedures as provided in the manual shall be strictly followed. The threshold for the issuance of No Objection Letter shall also be strictly followed.

209 Community-Based Procurement Manual

GUIDELINES ON CONTRACT TERMINATION


I. RATIONALE One of the causes of delay in the implementation of contracted community projects is the poor performance of the contractor/s or suppliers in delivering the expected output as provided in the contract. This includes workmanship or poor quality of goods, delay in the execution of works or delivery of goods, abandonment of works, and others. Despite the existence of a provision on termination of the contract, such provision has not been strictly enforced because of the absence of specific guidelines and procedures on how to implement it. Hence, the need to reiterate the Project guidelines in the implementation of Contract Termination. With reference to the provisions of Annex A of the Government Policy Procurement Board (GPPB) Resolution No. 018-2004 dated December 22, 2004, hereunder are the implementing guidelines. II. PURPOSE, SCOPE, AND APPLICATION This guideline aims to promote fairness in the termination of procurement contracts and to prescribe contract conditions and measures to enable BSPMC to protect its interests. For this purpose, policies and procedures relating to the whole or partial termination of BSPMC procurement contracts of goods and infrastructure projects (works) are herein established. III. DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Coercive Practice means harming or threatening to harm, directly or indirectly, persons or their property to influence their participation in a procurement process, or affect the execution of a contract. 2. Collusive Practice means a scheme or arrangement including practice among bidders (prior to or after bid submission) designed to establish bid prices at artificial non-competitive levels to prevent free and open competition. 3. Corrupt Practice means the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of anything of value to influence the action of a public official in the selection process or in contract execution. It also means entering, on behalf of the BSPMC, into any contract or transaction manifestly and grossly disadvantageous to the same, whether or not the public officer profits or will profit thereby; and similar acts as provided in Republic Act 3019 also known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. 4. Fraudulent Practice means a misrepresentation of facts in order to influence a selection process or the execution of a contract to the detriment of the BSPMC. 5. Head of the BSPMC refers to the Chairperson of the BSPMC; 6. Termination in Part means the termination of a part but not all, of the work that as not been completed and accepted under a contract. 7. Termination in Whole means the termination of all of the work that has not been completed and accepted under a contract.

210 Community-Based Procurement Manual

8. Show Cause refers to a notice which the BSPMC is required to issue prior to terminating a contract. The purpose of a show cause notice is to enable the contractor to present its position why the contract should not be terminated. 9. Verified Report refers to the report submitted by the Technical Working Group to the BSPMC Chairperson setting forth its findings as to the existence of grounds or causes for termination and explicitly stating its recommendation for the issuance of a Notice to Terminate. IV. GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS

A. Termination for Default 1. In contracts for Goods: The BSPMC shall terminate a contract for default when any of the following conditions attend its implementation: a) Outside of force majeure 17, the Supplier fails to deliver or perform any or all of the Goods within the period(s) specified in the contract, or within any extension thereof granted by the BVSPMC pursuant to a request made by the Supplier prior to the delay, and such failure amounts to at least ten percent (10%) of the contact price; b) As a result of force majeure, the Supplier is unable to deliver or perform any or all of the Goods, amounting to at least ten percent (10%) of the contract price, for a period of not less than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the notice from the BSPMC stating that the circumstance of force majeure is deemed to have ceased; or c) The Supplier fails to perform any other obligation under the Contract. 2. In contracts for Infrastructure Projects (Works): The BSPMC may terminate the Contract for breach of contract. Fundamental breaches of Contract shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following: a) The Contractor stops work for ten (10) days when the stoppage has not been authorized by the Project Supervisor; b) The Project Supervisor gives notice that the Contractor has failed to correct a Defect within twenty one (21) days as determined by the Project Supervisor; c) The Contractor has delayed the completion of the works by thirty (30) calendar days; d) If the contractor incurred a minimum of negative fifteen percent (15%) slippage but remains dormant for almost two months despite receipt of the warning letter from the BSPMC; and, e) The Contractor:

Force majeure (French for "greater force") is a common clause in contracts which essentially frees one or both parties from liabilities when an extraordinary event beyond the control of the parties, such as flood, war, riots, acts of God, et cetera prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract.

GUIDELINES IN SUSPENSION / BACKLISTING / DELISTING OF CONTRACTORS, MANUFACTURERS, SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS


1. RATIONALE One of the major causes of the delay in the implementation of community project is the withdrawal of contractors or overdue implementation of the contract/s. In like manner, untimely delivery of goods by the manufacturers, suppliers and distributors is also contributing in the delay in the completion of the community projects. Despite penalizing the contractors, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors by imposing liquidated damages and forfeiture of performance security, the expected quality and timely delivery services are not delivered. Moreover, it has been discovered during the bidding process and fiduciary reviews that Contractors, Manufacturer, Suppliers and Distributors are in cahoots as evidenced by the bid documents submitted. Contractors, Manufacturer, Suppliers and Distributors artificially create semblance of competition during the bidding process. Hence, a need to impose sanctions to erring Contractors, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors. 2. PURPOSE This guideline is issued to authorize the BSPMC through the RPMO (Regional Director or Regional Project Manager) and to authorize the RPMO to issue blacklisting or suspension orders to erring Contractors, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors participating in KALAHI-CIDSS: KKB funded projects. 3. RULES & REGULATIONS 3.1 The BSPMC shall submit the following within seven (7) calendar days from its issuance. A. Blacklisting Order duly signed by BSPMC Chairperson thru the Regional Director or the Regional Project Manager; and,

For Suppliers, Manufacturers, and Distributors to the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB), through the GPPB-Technical Support Office (TSO), Unit 2506, Raffles Corporate Center, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City TeleFax: (632) 900-6741-44; and B.

GUIDELINES IN UNDERTAKING VARIATION / CHANGE ORDER OF COMMUNITY PROJECTS


Fiduciary reviews and audit conducted by the Commission on Audit (COA) revealed that variations orders/change orders were made during the course of implementation of community projects. It was found out that there were changes in quantities in the actual implementation due to inadequate planning/validation and some with considerable reasons. Variation/Change Order is allowed under KALAHI-CIDSS project only in extreme cases and when deemed necessary to complete the community project. For a better comprehension on Variation/Change Order, hereunder are the implementation guidelines: I. VARIATION ORDERS CHANGE ORDER / EXTRA WORK ORDER / SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT 1. Variation Orders may be issued by the BSPMC to cover any increase/decrease in quantities, including the introduction of new work items that are not included in the original contract or reclassification of work items that are either due to change of plans, design or alignment to suit actual field conditions resulting in disparity between the preconstruction plans used for purposes of bidding and the "as staked plans" or construction drawings prepared after a joint survey by the contractor and the BSPMC after award of the contract, provided that the cumulative amount of the Variation Order does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the original project cost. The addition/deletion of works should be within the general scope of the project as bid and awarded. A Variation Order may either be in the form of a change order or extra work order. A Change Order may be issued by the BSPMC Chairperson to cover any increase/decrease in quantities of original work items in the contract. introduction of new work necessary for the completion, improvement or protection of the project which were not included as items of work in the original contract, such as, where there are subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract, or where there are duly unknown physical conditions at the site of an unusual nature differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work or character provided for in the contract. Any cumulative Variation Order beyond ten percent (10%) shall be subject of another contract to be bid out if the works are separable from the original contract. In exceptional cases where it is urgently necessary to complete the original scope of work, the BSPMC may authorize the variation order beyond ten percent (10%) but not more than twenty percent (20%) subject to the guidelines to be determined by the NPMO: Provided, however, That appropriate sanctions shall be imposed on the designer, service provider, consultant or official responsible for the original detailed engineering design which failed to consider the Variation Order beyond ten percent (10%). calendar days after such work has been commenced or after the circumstances leading to such condition(s) leading to the extra cost, and within fifteen days (15) calendar days deliver a written communication giving full and detailed particulars of any extra cost in order that it may be investigated at that time. Failure to provide either of such notices in the time

The

a. If the Project Engineer, DAC or Municipal Engineer (in cases of community projects without KALAHI-CIDSS staff) and RIE, believes that a Change Order or Extra Work Order should be issued, he shall prepare the proposed Order accompanied with the notices submitted by the contractor, the plans therefore, his computations as to the quantities of the additional works involved per item indicating the specific stations where such works are needed, the date of his inspections and investigations thereon, and the log book thereof, and a detailed estimate of the unit cost of such items of work, together with his justifications for the need of such Change Order or Extra Work Order, and shall submit the same to the Regional Project Manager. b. The Regional Project Manager, upon receipt of the proposed Change Order or Extra Work Order shall immediately instruct the technical staff of the Region to conduct an on-the-spot investigation to verify the need for the work to be prosecuted. A report of such verification shall be submitted directly to the Regional Project Manager. c. The Regional Project Manager, after being satisfied that such Change Order or Extra Work Order is justified and necessary, shall review the estimated quantities and prices and forward the proposal with the supporting documentation to the BSPMC for consideration. d. If, after review of the plans, quantities and estimated unit cost of the items of work involved, the DAC and RIE to review and evaluate Change Orders or Extra Work Orders recommends approval thereof, the BSPMC, upon endorsement of the RPMO that the Change Order or Extra Work Order to be in order, shall approve the same. e. The timeframe for the processing of Variation Orders from the preparation up to the approval by the procuring entity concerned shall not exceed twenty one (21) calendar days. II. ADDITIONAL / EXTRA WORK COSTING 1. For Variation Orders, the contractor shall be paid for additional work items whose unit prices shall be derived based on the following: a. For additional/extra works duly covered by Change Orders involving work items which are exactly the same or similar to those in the original contract, the applicable unit prices of work items original contract shall be used. b. For additional/extra works duly covered by Extra Work Orders involving new work items that are not in the original contract, the unit prices of the new work items shall be based on the direct unit costs used in the original contract (e.g. unit cost of cement, rebars, form lumber, labor rate, equipment rental, etc.). All new components of the new work item shall be fixed prices, provided the same is acceptable to both the BSPMC and the contractor, and provided further that the direct unit costs of new components shall be based on the contractor's estimate as validated by the procuring entity concerned via documented canvass in accordance with existing rules and regulations. The direct cost of the new work item shall then be combined with the mark-up factor (i.e. taxes and profit) used by the contractor in his bid to determine the unit price of the new work item. 2. Request for payment by the contractor for any extra work shall be accompanied by a statement, with the approved supporting forms, giving a detailed accounting

and record of amount for which he claims payment. Said request for payment shall be included with the contractor's statement for progress payment. III. CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CONTRACTOR IS TO START WORK UNDER VARIATION ORDERS AND RECEIVE PAYMENTS 1. Under no circumstances shall a contractor proceed to commence work under any Change Order or Extra Work Order unless it has been checked by the DAC and the RIE and approved by the BSPMC Chairperson. Exceptions to the preceding rule are the following: a. The Regional Project Manager may, subject to the available community project funds, authorize the immediate start of work under any Change or Extra Work Order under any or all of the following conditions: 1. In the event of an emergency where the prosecution of the work is urgent to avoid detriment to public service, or damage to life and/or property; and/or 2. When time is of the essence; Provided, however, That such approval is valid on work done up to the point where the cumulative increase in value of work on the project which has not yet been duly fully approved does not exceed five percent (5%) of the adjusted original contract price whichever is less; Provided, further, That immediately after the start of work, the corresponding Change Order or Extra Work Order shall be prepared and submitted for approval in accordance with the above rules herein set. Payments for works satisfactorily accomplished on any Change Order or Extra Work Order may be made only after approval of the BSPMC Chairperson. b. For a Change Order or Extra Work Order involving a cumulative amount exceeding five percent (5%) of the original contract, no work thereon may be commenced unless said Change Order or Extra Work Order has been approved by the National Project Manger. IV. ADVANCE PAYMENT 1. The procuring entity shall, upon a written request of the contractor which shall be submitted as a contract document, make an advance payment to the contractor in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total contract price, to be made in lump sum or, at the most two, installments according to a schedule specified in the Instructions to Bidders and other relevant Tender Documents. 2. The advance payment shall be made only upon the submission to and acceptance by the procuring entity of an irrevocable standby letter of credit of equivalent value from a commercial bank, or a bank guarantee callable upon demand, issued by reputable bank and confirmed by the BSPMC. 3. The advance payment shall be repaid by the contractor by deducting fifteen percent (15%) from his periodic progress payments. V. PROGRESS PAYMENT 1. Once a month, the contractor may submit a request for payment for work accomplished. Such request for payment shall be verified and certified by the PIT, DAC and RIE concerned. Except as otherwise stipulated in the Instruction to Bidders, materials and equipment delivered on the site but not completely put in place shall not be included for payment.

228 Community-Based Procurement Manual

2. The procuring entity shall have the right to deduct from the contractor's progress billing such amount as may be necessary to cover third party liabilities, as well as uncorrected discovered defects in the project. VI. RETENTION MONEY FOR VARIATION/CHANGE ORDER 1. Progress payments are subject to retention of ten percent (10%) referred to as the "retention money." Such retention shall be based on the total amount due to the contractor prior to any deduction and shall be retained from every progress payment until fifty percent (50%) of the value of works, as determined by the BSPMC, are completed. If, after fifty percent (50%) completion, the work is satisfactorily done and on schedule, no additional retention shall be made; otherwise, the ten percent (10%) retention shall be imposed. 2. The total "retention money" shall be due for release upon final acceptance of the works. The contractor may, however, request the substitution of the retention money for each progress billing with irrevocable standby letters of credit of from a commercial bank, or bank guarantees callable on demand, of amounts equivalent to the retention money substituted for and acceptable to the BSPMC, provided that the project is on schedule and is satisfactorily undertaken. Otherwise, the ten percent (10%) retention shall be made. Said irrevocable standby letters of credit or bank guarantees, to be posted in favor of the BSPMC shall be valid for a duration to be determined by the concerned BSPMC and will answer for the purpose for which the ten percent (10%) retention is intended, i.e., to cover uncorrected discovered defects and third party liabilities. VII. CONTRACT COMPLETION Once the project reaches an accomplishment of ninety five (95%) of the total contract amount, the inspectorate team to make preliminary inspection and submit a punch-list to the contractor in preparation for the final turnover of the project. Said punch-list will contain, among others, the remaining works, work deficiencies for necessary corrections, and the specific duration/time to fully complete the project considering the approved remaining contract time. This, however, shall not preclude the procuring entity's claim for liquidated damages.

GUIDELINES ON NEGOTIATED PROCUREMENT


During the procurement stage, cases of failure of bidding may happen. Likewise, in the implementation of the contract, cases of contract termination may also happen. Hence, as mentioned in the additional guidelines in this manual, negotiated contracting may be undertaken. Conditions and Requirements for the use of the Negotiated Procurement The selection of contractor through Negotiated Procurement is justified only in any of the following cases: i. ii. iii. iv. If there is twice failure of bidding; If the contract was terminated or rescinded; and, If there is variation order e.g. additional work If time is of the essence to avert an imminent danger to life or property or to restore destroyed community project arising from natural or man-made calamity or emergency as declared by appropriate authorities 23.

Failure of bidding occurs in any of the following instances: No bids are received; All prospective bidders are declared ineligible; All bids fail to comply with all the bid requirements or fail-post qualification; The bidder with the lowest calculated and responsive bid refuses, without justifiable cause, to accept the award of contract.

Contract termination may happen in any of the following instances: There is breach of contract or termination for default (either BSPMC or the contractor/supplier). If the contract is abandoned by contractor. The BSPMC terminated the contract for convenience, in whole or in part, at any time for its convenience. The BSPMC Chairperson may terminate a contract for the convenience of the BSPMC if it determined the existence of conditions that make Project Implementation economically, financially or technically impractical and/or unnecessary, such as, but not limited to, fortuitous event(s) or changes in law and national government policies. Due to unlawful acts to include, but are not limited to, the following: a) Corrupt, fraudulent, collusive and coercive practices; b) Drawing up or using forged documents; and, c) Any other act analogous to the foregoing.

Procedures in negotiated contracting: 1. In cases of failure of bidding 1.1. The BSPMC thru the BAC shall directly invite or get quotations/bid proposals from at least three or more licensed contractors within the municipality or adjacent municipalities that has satisfactorily completed a contract of the same nature. This procedure will exempt the requirement for advertising or publication in the newspaper (in the case if bidding). It

is important to keep minutes of the two failed biddings as reference in future audits. It is advised that the PT and BAC shall not limit invitation to only 3 bidders to ensure wide competition. In case of failure or no bid proposal submitted on the date specified, the BAC can negotiate with an interested or single bidder. It is reiterated that minutes of the failed bidding be kept at the BSPMC office. In the event that there is till failure after undertaking the above, the BSPMC thru the TWG shall review the program of works. If it requires re-programming, the process of negotiated procurement will apply. In comparison with the Revised IRR of RA 9184, it allows disclosure of the approved budget for the contract (ABC). In KALAHI-CIDSS, it is clarified that the estimated budget for the contract should not be disclosed. Hence, the invitation to quote/bid should not include the estimated budget for the contract so the bidders will competitively prepare their own bid proposal. The BSPMC shall allow at least 7 calendar days for bidders to prepare a detailed bid proposal and thereafter, the timelines specified in each procurement activity from opening to award of contract shall be strictly followed to facilitate immediate implementation. The invitation to quote/bid issued must contain specific requirements such as the date, venue and complete documents to be submitted.

In cases of abandoned or terminated contract (also known as Take-Over of Contract) 2.1 2.2 The contract may be negotiated starting from the second lowest rated bidder under consideration at the bidders original price. If negotiation fails, then negotiation shall be done with the third lowest calculated rated bidder at his original price. If the negotiation fails again, a short list of at least three (3) eligible contractors shall be invited to submit their bids, and negotiation shall be made starting with the lowest calculated rated bidder. The BSPMC shall allow at least 7 calendar days for bidders to prepare a detailed bid proposal and thereafter, the timelines specified in each procurement activity from opening to award of contract shall be strictly followed to facilitate immediate implementation.

2.3

3.

If there is variation order In the preceding guidelines, a procedure for variation order is provided. In the event of a change order e.g. Extra Work order, the guidelines on undertaking change order shall be followed. Limits and conditions shall also be referred to said guidelines. Negotiation with the same contractor may be allowed in the following instances: The extra or additional work is adjacent or contiguous to the ongoing contract/community project. The subject contracted item to be negotiated has similar or related scopes of work. If the item or works is within the contracting capacity of the contractor. The contractor uses the same unit price or lower unit price as in the original contract less mobilization cost 24. The amount involved does not exceed the amount of the ongoing contract. If the contractor has no negative slippage/delay. Any cumulative Variation Order beyond ten percent (10%) shall be subject of another contract to be bid out if the works are separable from the original contract. In exceptional cases where it is urgently necessary to complete the

and

The KALAHI-CIDSS is a fast-paced/time-bounded project. Community community projects are funded as these are immediate needs of the communities. Therefore, in the provision of goods and services, service providers such as suppliers and contractors should comply strictly with the provisions of the contract to immediately expedite the completion of the community projects. In order to facilitate management of suppliers and contractors doing business with the communities, the project shall establish procedures for evaluating, documenting, and reporting the supplier/contractors performance under a contract for purchase of goods, performance of services, consulting, construction or improvement of facilities. These procedures shall include a process for performance appraisal, communication of feedback to vendors, forms and documentation requirements. Why Evaluate the Supplier/Contractor? 1. To improve communication and relationship with suppliers/contractors; 2. To improve supplier performance by way of awareness and feedback on key performance criteria and service improvement areas; 3. To have more reliable material quality and availability and/or better service; 4. To document supplier performance to be used as basis for future transactions and discussions with the supplier Purposes 1. To provide the BSPMC with objective information on which judgments relating to source selection can be based; and, 2. To enable the BSPMC to provide the supplier with an indication of his performance rating and where improvements, if any, are required. Criteria for Evaluation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

GUIDELINES ON UNBALANCED QUOTATION/BIDS


Some community projects require services of contractors if the community does not have the capacity to undertake the works. However, it was observed that some quotations/bid proposals submitted by contractors are unbalanced and it is disadvantageous to the BSPMC. Awarding a contract to the lowest bidder in a case where the bid is clearly unbalanced has the potential in certain circumstances to expose the BSPMC to an unnecessary and unacceptable financial risk. It is the responsibility of BAC to evaluate all bids appropriately to ensure that the communitys interests are protected. Purpose of the Guidelines In KC-1, there is no policy which precludes the submission of an unbalanced bid by a bidder, nor is there any provision explicitly disqualifying any bid which may be unbalanced. Thus, this guideline will provide provisions for disqualifying quotations or bid proposals that are proven unbalanced. Definition: Unbalanced Quotation/Bid- is the shifting of a part of the cost of one work item to another item of work. It occurs in circumstances where a bidder on a contract places an unreasonably high price on certain items in a unit price contract and an unreasonably low price on other items within the same bid. Two Types of Unbalanced Quotation/Bid 1. A mathematically unbalanced bid - is one that contains lump sum or unit bid items that do not appear to reflect reasonable actual costs plus a reasonable proportionate share of the bidder's anticipated profit, overhead costs, and other indirect costs, which he/she anticipates for the performance of the items in question. A common example is Front End Loading, wherein activities scheduled to be performed early in the project (Example: Clearing and Grubbing for a road community project) have values quoted with an excessive proportion of planned overhead costs and anticipated profit. This case shows and advance payment characteristic that is objectionable. If excess funds are paid at an early stage of the contract, the potential exists for an inadequate amount to properly complete the project and protect the owners (BSPMC) interests. 2. Materially unbalanced Bid - is one "based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, and . . . there is a reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the lowest overall cost." There are reasons why a Bidder may want to unbalance a Bid. The following are some reasons: i. To get more money at the beginning of the Project by overpricing the Work done early in the Project. This is called front loading the Contract. ii. To maximize profits. This is done by overpricing bid items the Bidder believes will be used in greater quantities than estimated and underpricing items that will be used in significantly lesser quantities The BAC and TWG shall use the following guidelines when evaluating Bids to identify materially unbalanced Bids: After Bid Opening, evaluate all bid item prices, as submitted by the Bidders, for unreasonable deviations from the Engineers Estimate. The BSPMC deserves the right to review all Bids for material unbalancing regardless of the deviation from the Engineers Estimate. If bid item prices deviate more than a reasonable amount from the Engineers Estimate, re-check the bid item quantities.

238 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Items that may contribute to material unbalancing are: Obvious errors in the Plans or estimates. Front-end loading where the Bids indicate that the Contractor will receive disproportionate payment for work done during early stages of the Project. Anticipated underruns or overruns of items. Bids which indicate that the Bid(s) are disproportionately higher than the value of the work to be done under the Contract.

-31.30% -53.32% 29.41% 35.07%

In the above example, assuming that profit, overhead costs and other considerations were incorporated, it is clear that the bid is unbalanced as unit bid prices are front loaded in Items 102 and 105 of the contract with minimal unrealistic costs attributed to work required for Items 200 and 201 of the contract. The risk in the above example is: What if the contractor abandoned the contract after completing Item 102 and 105? Can the remaining amount complete the remaining items of work? Accuracy of Estimated Quantities: When items are bid unusually high or low in relationship to the engineer's estimate, the accuracy of the estimated quantities should be checked. If, after examination, the estimated quantities are determined to be a reasonably accurate representation of actual anticipated needs, then the low bid should be further evaluated for unbalancing. On the other hand, in cases where it is concluded, after examination, that the estimated quantities are not a reasonably accurate representation of actual anticipated needs, the BAC with assistance of TWG should consider rejecting all bids, correcting the quantities, and re-advertising. However, an error in estimated quantities should not cause an automatic rejection of bids. Two factors need to be considered: (1) whether the communitys interest would be best served by making the award and, (2) whether any bidder would be treated in an unfair manner if the award were made.

239 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Bid Analysis: An analysis of unbalanced bids should be properly undertaken by the BAC and TWG. However, the final analysis should not preclude the use of engineering judgment especially at the RPMO who will issue NOL or in some cases endorsing procurement documents for issuance of NOL at the NPMO or MCA-Philippines. In analyzing bids, the following should be considered: 1. Is the bid mathematically unbalanced? Are the unit bid prices in reasonable conformance with the engineer's estimate and other bids? 2. If awarded, what effect will unbalanced bid items have on the total contract amount? 3. If quantities are incorrect, will the contract cost be increased when the quantities are corrected? 4. On items where the quantities may vary, will the lower bidder remain as low bidder? 5. If the bid is unbalanced, will the unbalance have a potential detrimental effect upon the competitive process or cause contract administration problems after award? In cases where obvious unbalanced bid items exist, the BAC's recommendation to award or reject a bid needs to be supported by written justification or stating clearly in the minutes of evaluation. The justification should include the detrimental effect or lack of detrimental effect. However, prior to concurrence in the award of any mathematically unbalanced bid which is not materially unbalanced, the RPMO or NPMO, as the case maybe, should determine the reason for the unbalancing and, when warranted, take appropriate steps to protect the project. Hence, it is important that details of the evaluation is clearly indicated in the minutes of evaluation. The action may take the form of concurrence or no objection whether or not to award the contract to the submitter of the unbalanced low bid. A unbalanced bid analysis will be performed under two circumstances: 1. If the BSPMC becomes aware of an error in a quantity of an item shown in the bidding documents; and, 2. If an item is found to be both significant to the contract and significantly unbalanced. The estimated unit price for all items identified as being significantly unbalanced will be reviewed for correctness. Corrections will be made as needed and the low bidders unit price will re-evaluated to determine if the item remains significantly unbalanced. Quantities for all items found to be significant to the contract will be checked and verified. Quantities will be determined based upon the bidding documents and the construction methodologies depicted in the plan. These quantities will be used only for the purpose of performing the Unbalanced Bid Analysis.

The Unbalanced Bid Analysis shall consist of the following steps:

Finally, if unbalancing is found to be caused in part by questionable specifications or procedures, the BSPMC should work with the A/MCT or RPMO to facilitate appropriate and timely revisions.

240 Community-Based Procurement Manual

Rejection of unbalanced bids The bids should be rejected if the communitys interest would be best served in canceling the defectively estimated proposal; and/or, if awarding the contract to the apparent low bidder using a corrected quantity estimate would be unfair to the other bidders. Proposals will be considered irregular and may be rejected if the TWG or RPMO determines that any of the unit bid prices are significantly unbalanced to the potential detriment of the KALAHI-CIDSS project. BAC and TWG performing bid analysis should be aware that signs of apparent unbalancing in bidding may be an indication of more serious criminal activities such as collusion and bid rigging. Studies of collusion and bid rigging show that such activities are often accompanied by suspicious bidding patterns such as bids: "front loading," "identical bidding," "complimentary bidding." An item will be considered significantly unbalanced if the following are observed: 1. The quotation/bid is higher by 25% against the approved engineers estimate; or, if the quotation/bid is lower by 75% against the approved engineers estimate. 2. During evaluation, a comparison of the calculated gross sum totals show that the calculated gross sum for the contract low bid is found to be higher than the calculated gross sum of another bidder, the low contract bid proposal shall be determined to be materially unbalanced. If the calculated gross sum of the contract low bid proposal is found to be less than the calculated gross some of all other bidders, that bid shall be determined to be not materially unbalanced. 3. If the initial contract low bid proposal is found to be not materially unbalanced, the contract will be considered for award at the bid contract amount in accordance to the Standard Specifications. The contract will be based upon the bid amount and the quantities shown in the bidding documents. 4. If the initial low bid contract proposal is found to be materially unbalanced it will be considered irregular and will be rejected as non-responsive as reasonable doubt exists that the bid does not represent the lowest cost to the BSPMC. 5. If the initial low bid contract proposal is found to be materially unbalanced and rejected, the BSPMC may award to the next low bid contract proposal at the bid contract amount or may elect to reject all bids and re-let/re-bid. Decisions will be made in the communitys interest and will consider consequences of re-letting/re-bidding the project.

GUIDELINES ON WARRANTY, LIABILITY and SANCTIONS in KALAHICIDSS Procurement


1. Warranty 1.1. For the procurement of goods, in order to assure that the manufacturing defects shall be corrected by the supplier, manufacturer, or distributor, as the case maybe, a warranty shall be required from the contract awardee for a minimum period of three (3) months, in the case of supplies, and one (1) year, in the case of equipment, after performance of the contract. The obligation for the warranty shall be covered by either retention money or in an amount equivalent to at least ten percent (10%) of every progress payment or a special bank guarantee equivalent to at least ten percent (10%) of the total contract price. The said amounts shall only be released after the lapse of the warranty period. Provided however, that the goods supplied are free from patent and latent defects and all the conditions imposed under the contract have been fully met. 1.2. For the procurement of infrastructure projects, the contractor shall assume full responsibility for the contract work from the time project construction commenced up to final acceptance by the community and shall be held responsible for any damage or destruction of the works except those occasioned by force majeure. The contractor shall be fully responsible for the safety, protection, security and convenience of his personnel third parties, and the public at large, as well as the works, equipment, installation and the like to be affected by his construction work and shall be required to put up a warranty security in the form of cash, bank guarantee or letter of credit callable on demand in accordance with the following schedule: Form of Warranty 1. Cash deposit, cash bond or letter of credit 2. Bank Guarantee Minimum amount in % of Total Contract Price Five percent (5%) Ten percent (10%)

The warranty security shall be stated in Philippine Pesos, shall remain effective during the applicability warranty period and shall be returned only after the lapse of warranty period. 2. Liability (under contract) The defects liability period for infrastructure projects shall be one year from project completion up to final acceptance by the community. During this period, the contractor shall undertake the repair works, at his own expense of any damage to the infrastructure projects on account of the use of materials of inferior quality within ninety (90) days from the time the BSPMC has issued order to undertake repair. In case of failure or refusal to comply with this mandate, the BSPMC shall undertake such repair works shall be entitled to full reimbursement of expenses incurred therein upon demand. Any contractor who fails to comply with the preceding paragraph shall suffer perpetual disqualification from participating in any public bidding and his property shall be subject to attachment or garnishment proceedings to recover the costs. All payables of the BSPMC in his favor shall be offset to recover the costs.

242 Community-Based Procurement Manual

3. Sanctions against Bidders 3.1. The BSPMC being the representative of the barangay as the lowest political structure in the government should impose administrative penalties to the prospective bidders. The sanctions of one (1) year suspension for the first offense, suspension of two (2) years for second offense from participating in the public bidding process as well as disqualification from further participating in the public bidding being undertaken by the project, for the following violations: a. Submission of eligibility requirements containing false information or falsified documents. b. Submission of Bids that contain false information or falsified documents, or the concealment of such information in the Bids in order to influence the outcome of eligibility screening or any stage of public bidding. c.Withdrawal of a bid, or refusal to accept award, or enter into contract with the BSPMC without justifiable cause, after he had been adjudged as having submitted the Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid. d. Refusal or failure to post the required performance security within the prescribed time. e. Termination of the contract due to the default of the bidder. f. Any documented unsolicited attempt by a bidder to unduly influence the outcome of the bidding in his favor. g. All other acts that tend to defeat the purpose of the competitive bidding, such as an eligible contractor participating in the pre-bid conference which does not buy bid documents and contractors habitually withdrawing from bidding or submitting letters of non-participation for at least three (3) times within a year, except for valid reasons. 3.3 3.4 3.5 In addition to the penalty of suspension, the Bid Security or the Performance Security posted by the concerned bidder or prospective bidder shall also be forfeited. The BSPMC Chair may delegate to the BAC the authority to impose the aforementioned administrative penalties. The procedures for the blacklisting of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, or consultants for the Government projects shall be undertaken in accordance with the guidelines issued by the project.

4. Sanctions against the BSPMC members 4.1. Since most of the community projects are implemented by the community volunteers and some barangay officials, there is a possibility of procurement violation. In order to safeguard the integrity of the procurement process adopted by the Project, appropriate sanctions and penalties should be imposed to them. Sanctions and penalties may depend on the magnitude of offenses committed by the BSPMC members. Accidental mistakes made by the BSPMC members must be immediately corrected. Succeeding similar mistakes or offenses will warrant for the imposition of sanctions and penalties to the individual, BSPMC or the Barangay as a whole. Listed below are some of the common mistakes that the BSPMC may commit and must be address by the concerned ACTs or Procurement Officers to avoid penalties and sanctions.

GUIDELINES: PROCUREMENT OPTIONS AFFECTED BY PRICE ESCALATION

ON

COMMUNITY

PROJECTS

Incessant price increases maybe experienced anytime and may have effect to approved community projects. These include prices of construction materials resulting to high quotations/bids of suppliers/contractors exceeding the programmed cost. The 5% markup in the estimates and 10% contingency costs may not be able cover such escalation. To somehow address the above, a revised the readiness filter replacing the procurement requirements into a procurement action plan (PAP) to eliminate cases on nonconformance of suppliers when the purchase order is served. This is effective when the procurement benchmark/timeline (within 7-9 calendar days) is observed when shopping for goods. For shopping of works, bidding of goods and works, that will need 27-35 calendar days to complete the procurement process that are affected by price escalation and the resultant quotations or bids exceeds the approved estimated cost, automatic re-bidding should NOT be the immediate action. There is a need to review whether the bids are reasonable, i.e. within market ranges. If the BAC and TWG are convinced that the prices are within market ranges and that the increase is based on the current trend, the following shall be undertaken to augment the difference: i. Use the savings/balance from other packages (if there are); ii. Use the allotted contingency; iii. If there are no savings/balances from other package/s and no allotted contingency or if the contingency is not enough to cover the deficit, supplement the budget by sourcing out additional LCC; iv. If no LCC is produced, the last resort will be to reduce the scope of works to fit within available budget. In reducing the scope of works below are suggested considerations: a. For buildings: Deletion of painting works, amenities such as chairs and tables or other possible items that will not affect stability of the building; b. For Roads: Reduction of the physical length may be necessary or deletion of items of works that may be covered by future operation and maintenance like provision of Item 201 (Aggregate Base Coarse) if Item 200 (Aggregate Sub-Base Coarse) will be provided, Item 311-Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCPP), Item 504 (Grouted Riprap) in non-critical sections, etc c. For Water System: the engineer/s to review the hydraulic analysis to check possible reduction of pipes that were overly designed and possible reduction of overly designed reservoir or other structures, otherwise, increase labor counterpart contribution; and, d. For other type of community projects where there are no scope of work/s to be reduced, reduction of programmed labor to be paid is recommended. It is reiterated that whenever there is reduction in scope of works, it should be properly deliberated with the Barangay Assembly for transparency purposes. The community must also agree to shoulder reduced scope of works as part of the operation and maintenance activities. It should be considered that whenever there is reduction of scope, the community project should be functional. In using any of the above provisions as basis for recommending the award to a particular service provider (supplier/contractor), said basis must be properly captured/indicated in the minutes of evaluation. If there is substantial reduction (say more than 20%), a re-bidding with reduced scope of works may be the best solution.

EVALUATION OF BIDS/QUOTATION USING EXCEL FORMAT Background An excel format of Abstract of Bids is prepared to simplify evaluation of quotation/bids for both goods and works. This may not be applicable to all Municipalities since technology may be limited especially in the far-flung areas. However, for those areas with computers it is recommended to use the formulated evaluation sheets to fast track evaluation and submission. Reminder Quotation or Bid Examination has two levels, first is the preliminary examination using the pass/fail criteria and the second is the evaluation proper. At the first level, as provided in the procurement manual, quotations/bid proposals that are not compliant to the requirement based on the checklist will not be evaluated. Thus, to be fair, quotations or bid proposals that have lacking documents should not be evaluated and should be marked failed. Bid proposals that have passed the pas/fail criteria will be evaluated and rated. The examples presented are established forms in the procurement manual. The example presented is for bidding for goods and works but can be enhanced for shopping by replacing the title Abstract of Bids to Abstract of Canvass and deleting the columns for bid security since it is not required for shopping. The evaluation process We have 2 examples presented (1 for goods and 1 for works). With the assumption that all documents were complied by the 3 bidders based on the pass/fail criteria, cost evaluation will now take place. Before going to the details of the evaluation 25, it is suggested that the evaluators should review the contents of the package (based on the PCPP) in consideration. The example shows 3 major columns with several sub-columns. Rows vary on the number of items to be procured. The sub-columns under Per Approved POW and PCPP have 6 sub-columns which are: Item Number, Description, Quantity, Unit, Unit Price and Total were taken from the PCPP. For purposes of understanding, let us cut out the first major column in example number 2 (abstract for works): Per Approved POW and PCPP Item no. 102 105 200 201 Total Description Roadway & Drainage Excavation Sub-Grade Preparation Aggregate Sub-Base Coarse Aggregate Base Coarse Qty 6,762.39 9,812.00 1,417.80 1,471.00 Unit Cu.m.

The evaluation mentioned is based on the process in checking the required Technical, Financial and Legal documents and other requirements indicated in the invitation for bids.

The above data can be linked to the abstract of bids from the PCPP. Since the above data are fixed and to avoid retyping during the evaluation, it is suggested that during the programming the abstract of canvass and abstract bid form should prepared. It can also be copied from the file to be uploaded thru the KC yahoo group (superries@yahoo.com) 26 used by the project staff. The second column is the bid/quotation offered by the contractor/supplier (as the case maybe) with 4 sub columns namely: Unit Price, Amount, Type of Bid Security and Amount of Bid Security. Below is the cut out columns and rows: ABC DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION Bid Security Unit price Amount Type Amount 47.36 10.86 280.42 288.47 320,250.00 106,558.32 397,579.48 424,339.37 1,248,727.17 The figures found under the column amount was easily be taken using the excel formula by pressing the equal sign (=) in each cell then multiplying the quantity (from the PCPP) times the unit price in each row then press enter. The third column is the cost analysis with 3 columns namely: within or above budget, Percentage (cost difference) and Remarks as shown below: COST Within or Above Budget? Within Budget Within Budget Above Budget Above Budget Within Budget ANALYSIS Remarks ( in terms of cost) Responsive Responsive Not Responsive Not Responsive Cash 12,500.00

Percentage (Cost Difference) 48.64% 35.27% -19.47% -12.17% 5.15%

The result in each column has formula to automatically state whether it is within or above budget, Percentage difference based on the approved cost and the remarks will say if each item cost is responsive or not in terms of cost. It is however clarified that the term responsive or not responsive as being evaluated in the abstract sheet/form is only limited to the cost and not pertaining to the whole evaluation process. It is further clarified that when we say RESPONSIVE, to mean that the solicited bid is determined to be in substantial conformance with the conditions, completion or delivery requirements, and specifications detailed in the invitation-to-bid (ITB). For better understanding of the formula, please proceed to the example presented and click in each cell. The formula will be shown what column and row is involved. There are limitations however in cases where a blank cell is not filled up especially the unit price. If this is the case, the answer could either be error or may accept the formula and will show a positive result which is wrong!
