Details: On various county roads in the Oberhavel district, the shoulders in the traffic area are to be stripped off as safety strips next to the roadway in accordance with the road safety obligation of the construction authority. In this process, approximately 30% of the stripped areas are to be compacted using suitable equipment after consultation with the Ag's construction monitoring department. Finally, grass seeding work is to be carried out on the shoulder areas. Grit, grass cuttings and, in some cases, small amounts of lost load have caused the existing road shoulder to rise over a period of several years. This leads to water build-up during rainfall, as the surface water can no longer drain safely due to the transverse slope of the roadway. This in turn leads to damage to the road surface and thus to traffic obstructions. For the areas specified in the appendices (see tender documents - appendices), verge material close to the surface on the side of the road is to be peeled off in the correct profile and recycled at the discretion of the contractor in compliance with the Substitute Building Materials Ordinance. The following services are essentially to be carried out: 32,060 m² verge peeling without Frs 1,700 m² verge peeling with Frs 10,128 m² compacting of the reprofiled area 517 m³ of peeling material loading, transport and disposal 28,590 m² of peeling material squandering 33,760 m² sowing of grass For further details see construction description and service description

In The Context Of Competitive Bidding, The Specifications (e.g. Production/delivery Schedule, Manpower Requirements, And After-sales Service/parts) Must Be Prepared To Permit The Widest Possible Competition And, At The Same Time, Present A Clear Statement Of The Required Standards Of Workmanship, Materials, And Performance Of The Goods And Services To Be Procured.. Only If This Is Done Will The Objectives Of Transparency, Equity, Efficiency, Fairness And Economy In Procurement Be Realized, Responsiveness Of Bids Be Ensured, And The Subsequent Task Of Bid Evaluation And Post-qualification Facilitated. The Specifications Should Require That All Items, Materials And Accessories To Be Included Or Incorporated In The Goods Be New, Unused, And Of The Most Recent Or Current Models, And That They Include Or Incorporate All Recent Improvements In Design And Materials Unless Otherwise Provided In The Contract. Samples Of Specifications From Previous Similar Procurements Are Useful In This Respect. The Use Of Metric Units Is Encouraged. Depending On The Complexity Of The Goods And The Repetitiveness Of The Type Of Procurement, It May Be Advantageous To Standardize The General Technical Specifications And Incorporate Them In A Separate Subsection. The General Technical Specifications Should Cover All Classes Of Workmanship, Materials, And Equipment Commonly Involved In Manufacturing Similar Goods. Deletions Or Addenda Should Then Adapt The General Technical Specifications To The Particular Procurement. Care Must Be Taken In Drafting Specifications To Ensure That They Are Not Restrictive. In The Specification Of Standards For Equipment, Materials, And Workmanship, Recognized Philippine And International Standards Should Be Used As Much As Possible. Where Other Particular Standards Are Used, Whether National Standards Or Other Standards, The Specifications Should State That Equipment, Materials, And Workmanship That Meet Other Authoritative Standards, And Which Ensure At Least A Substantially Equal Quality Than The Standards Mentioned, Will Also Be Acceptable. The Following Clause May Be Inserted In The Special Conditions Of Contract Or The Technical Specifications. Sample Clause: Equivalency Of Standards And Codes Wherever Reference Is Made In The Technical Specifications To Specific Standards And Codes To Be Met By The Goods And Materials To Be Furnished Or Tested, The Provisions Of The Latest Edition Or Revision Of The Relevant Standards And Codes Shall Apply, Unless Otherwise Expressly Stated In The Contract. Where Such Standards And Codes Are National Or Relate To A Particular Country Or Region, Other Authoritative Standards That Ensure Substantial Equivalence To The Standards And Codes Specified Will Be Acceptable. Reference To Brand Name And Catalogue Number Should Be Avoided As Far As Possible; Where Unavoidable They Should Always Be Followed By The Words “or At Least Equivalent.” References To Brand Names Cannot Be Used When The Funding Source Is The Gop. Where Appropriate, Drawings, Including Site Plans As Required, May Be Furnished By The Procuring Entity With The Bidding Documents. Similarly, The Supplier May Be Requested To Provide Drawings Or Samples Either With Its Bid Or For Prior Review By The Procuring Entity During Contract Execution.

Evidence Shall Be In The Form Of Manufacturer’s Un-amended Sales Literature, Unconditional Statements Of Specification And Compliance Issued By The Manufacturer, Samples, Independent Test Data Etc., As Appropriate. A Statement That Is Not Supported By Evidence Or Is Subsequently Found To Be Contradicted By The Evidence Presented Will Render The Bid Under Evaluation Liable For Rejection. A Statement Either In The Bidders Statement Of Compliance Or The Supporting Evidence That Is Found To Be False Either During Bid Evaluation, Post-qualification Or The Execution Of The Contract May Be Regarded As Fraudulent And Render The Bidder Or Supplier Liable For Prosecution Subject To The Provisions Of Itb Clause 3.1(a)(ii) And/or Gcc Clause 2.1(a)(ii).
