International Competitive Bidding 1. Goods and civil works shall be procured under contracts awarded in accordance with procedures consistent with those set forth in the "Guidelines for Procurement under World Bank Loans and IDA Credits" published by the Bank in March 1977 (hereinafter cclled the Guidelines), on the basis of international competitive bidding as described in Part A of the Guidelines. 2. In addition to the requirements of paragraph 1.2 of the Guidelines, the Borrower shall prepare and forward to the Bank as soon as possible, and in any event not later than sixty days prior to the date of availability to the public of the first tender documents, a general procurement notice, in such form and detail and containing such information as the Bank shall reasonably request; the Bank will arrange for the publication of such notice in order to provide timely notification to prospective bidders of the opportunity to bid for the goods and works in question. The Borrower shall provide the necessary information to update such notice annually so long as any goods or works remain to be pro- cured. 3. For the purpose of evaluation and comparison of bids for the supply of goods: (i) bidders shall be required to state in their bid the c.i.f. (port of entry) price for imported goods, or the ex-factory price for domestically manufactured goods; (ii) customs duties and other import taxes on imported goods, and sales and similar taxes on domestically supplied goods, shall be excluded; and (iii) the cost to the Borrower of inland freight and other expenditures incidental to the delivery of goods to the place of their use or installation shall be included. B. Preference for Domestic Manufacturers Goods manufactured in Colombia 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 required to establish the eligibility of a bid - 24 - 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 Colombia 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 Colombia 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. All evaluated bids in each group shall be first compared among themselves, excluding any customs duties and other import taxes on goods to be imported and any sales or similar taxes on goods to be supplied domestically, to determine the lowest evaluated bid of each group. 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 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: - 25 - With respect to all contracts for goods or civil works estimated to cost the equivalent of $100,000 or more: (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 documents 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 Bor- rower 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. (d) Two conformed copies of the contract shall be furnished to the Bank promptly after its execution and prior to the delivery 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 its execution and prior to the dalivery 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 con- tract, together with the analysis of the respective bids, recom- mendations 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. - 26 - 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 10% 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. - 27 - SCHEDULE 5 Method for Calculating Rate of Return 1. The annual return specified in Section 5.08 of the Loan Agreement will be calculated, in each calendar quarter in respect of the twelve-mouth period beginning with such quarter and the twelve-month period immediately preceding, by using as the denom- inator the average between the net current, values of the respec- tive fixed assets in operation at the beginning and at the end of each such period and as numerator the operating income of the Borrower for the same period. 2. Any shortfall or overrun in the required annual return for the twelve-month period immediately preceding the quarter in which the calculation is to be made will be carried forward and sub- tracted or added, as the case may be, to the numerator used for the forthcoming twelve-month period. 3. "Operating income" will be the difference between all reve- nues from the sale of electricity and transmission charges, and all administrative and operating costs relating thereto, including maintenance and adequate provision for straight-line depreciation *on the average gross value of revalued fixed assets in operation. 4. The net current value of fixed assets in operation will be at any given date their gross value less accumulated depreciation to such date, as revalued and depreciated in accordance with para- graphs 5 and 6 below. 5. Until another method, satisfactory to the Bank, for the maintenance of value of assets of public utilities shall have been made applicable to the Borrower, the gross value of the Borrower's fixed assets in operation and works in progress will be revalued quarterly in accordance with the corresponding variations in the Indice nacional de precios al consumidor - Obreros - published by the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadistica of the Guarantor, or a similar index approved by the Bank, to the last month preceding the quarter in which the calculation is to be made. For the purposes of this calculation, as of December 31, 1976: (a) the aggregate gross value of the Borrower's fixed assets in operation will be fixed in one thousand eight hundred thirty-three million pesos (Col.$1,833,000,000); - 28 - (b) the aggregate gross value of the Borrower's fixed assets in construction will be fixed in ten thousand four hundred sixty-four million pesos (Col.$10,464,000,000); and (c) the accumulated depreciation on the assets in (a) hereof will be fixed in two hundred eleven million pesos (Col.$211,000,000). 6. The Borrower will furnish to the Bank during the first quarter of each fiscal year a report on the revaluation of assets through the end of the preceding fiscal year. The report for the fiscal year 1978 will be furnished to the Bank by June 30, 1979. 7. Depreciation will be charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the Borrower's fixed assets. ik INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the original in the archives of the Interna- tional Bank for Reconstruction and Develop- ment.
