For the purpose of evaluation and comparison of bids for the supply of goods to be procured on the basis of international com- petitive bidding: (i) bidders shall be required to state in their bid the c.i.f. (port of entry) price for the imported goods, or the ex-factory price or off-the-shelf price of other goods, offered in such bid; (ii) customs duties and other import taxes levied in connection with the importation, or the sales and similar taxes levied in connection with the sale or delivery, pursuant to the bid, of the goods shall not be taken into account in the evaluation of the bids; and (iii) the cost of inland freight and other expenditures incidental to the delivery of the goods to the place of their use or installation shall be included. - 22 - B. Preference for Domestic Manufacturers In the procurement of goods in accordance with the proce- dures described in Part A of this Schedule, goods manufactured in Korea may be granted a margin of preference in accordance with, and subject to, the following provisions: 1. All bidding documents for the procurement of goods shall clearly indicate any preference which will be granted, the information requir2d to establish the eligibility of a bid for such preference and the following methods and stages that will be followed in the evaluation and comparison of bids. 2. After evaluation, responsive bids will be classified in one of the following three groups: (1) Group A: bids offering goods manufactured in Korea if the bidder shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower and the Bank that the manufacturing cost of such goods includes a value added in Korea equal to at least 20% of the ex-factory bid price of such goods. (2) Group B: all other domestic bids. (3) Group C: bids offering any other goods. 3. In order to determine the lowest evaluated bid of each group, all evaluated bids in each group shall first be compared among themselves, without taking into account customs duties and other import taxes levied in connection with the importation, and sales and similar taxes levied in connection with the sale or delivery, pursuant to the bids, of the goods. Such lowest evaluated bids shall then be compared with each other, and if, as a result of this comparison, a bid from group A or group B is the lowest, it shall be selected for the award. 4. If, as a result of the comparison under paragraph 3 above, the lowest bid is a bid from group C, all group C bids shall be further compared with the lowest evaluated bid from group A after adding to the evaluated bid price of the imported goods offered in each group C bid, for the purpose of this further comparison only, an amount equal to: (i) the amount of customs duties and other import taxes which a non-exempt importer would have to pay for the importation of the goods offered in - 23 - such group C bid; or (ii) 15% of the c.i.f. bid price of such goods if said customs duties and taxes exceed 15% of such price. If the group A bid in such further comparison is the lowest, it shall be selected for the award; if not, the bid from Group C, which as a result of the comparison under paragraph 3 is the lowest evaluated bid, shall be selected. C. Review of Procurement Decisions by the Bank 1. Review of invitations to bid and of proposed awards and final contracts: With respect to all contracts for goods and civil works: (a) Before bids are invited, the Borrower shall furnish to the Bank, for its comments, the text of the invitations to bid and the specifications and other bidding documents, together with a description of the advertising procedures to be followed for the bidding, and shall make such modifications in the said docu- ments or procedures as the Bank shall reasonably request. Any further modification to the bidding documents shall require the Bank's concurrence before it is issued to the prospective bidders. (b) After bids have been received and evaluated, the Borrower shall, before a final decision on the award is made, inform the Bank of the name of the bidder to which it intends to award the contract and shall furnish to the Bank, in sufficient time for its review, a detailed report on the evaluation and comparison of the bids received and such other information as the Bank shall reasonably request. The Bank shall, if it determines that the intended award would be inconsistent with the Guidelines or this Schedule, promptly inform the Borrower and state the reasons for such determination. (c) The terms and conditions of the contract shall not, without the Bank's concurrence, materially differ from those on which bids were asked or prequalification was invited. (d) Two conformed copies of the contract shall be furnished to the Bank promptly after its execution and prior to the submis- sion to the Bank of the first application for withdrawal of funds from the Loan Account in respect of such contract. 2. With respect to each contract not governed by the preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall furnish to the Bank, promptly after - 24 - its execution and prior to the submission to the Bank of the first application for withdrawal of funds from the Loan Account in respect of such contract, two conformed copies of such contract, together with the analysis of the respective bids, recommendations for award and such other information as the Bank shall reasonably request. The Bank shall, if it determines that the award of the contract was not consistent with the Guidelines or this Schedule, promptly inform the Borrower and state the reasons for such determination. 3. Before agreeing to any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of a contract, or granting an extension of the stipulated time for performance of such contract, or issuing any change order under such contract (except in cases of extreme urgency) which would increase the cost of the contract by more than 20% of the original price, the Borrower shall inform the Bank of the proposed modification, waiver, extension or change order and the reasons therefor. The Bank, if it determines that the proposal would be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, shall promptly inform the Borrower and state the reasons for its determination.
