For goods and works to be procured on the basis of inter- national competitive bidding, 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 60 days prior to the date of availability to the public of the first tender or prequalification documents relating thereto, as the case may be, 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.

Bidders for the civil works included the Project shall be prequalified as described in paragraph 1.3 of Part A of the Guidelines, utilizing improved prequalification evaluation procedures satisfactory to the Bank. 4. For the purpose of evaluation and comparison of bids for the supply of goods to be procured on the basis of international competitive 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; and (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. - 17 - B. Preference for Domestic Manufacturers In the procurement of goods in accordance with the procedures described in Part A of this Schedule, goods manufactured in the Republic of the Philippines 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 for such preference and the following m4thods 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 the Republic of the Philippines 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 '.ded in the Republic of the Philippines 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 eval- uated 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 - 18 - 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. Other Procurement Procedures 1. Civil works under Parts A (i), A (ii) and B (ii) of the Project may be carried out under contracts awarded after local competitive bidding under procedures satisfactory to the Bank. 2. (i) small items costing less than $10,000 equivalent; and (ii) hand tools for road maintenance, may be procured under the Borrower's procurement procedures for such items, provided that the aggregate amount of all such procurement shall not exceed $300,000 equivalent. D. Review of Procurement Decisions by the Bank 1. Review of prequalification. The Borrower shall, before qualification is invited, inform the Bank in detail of the procedure to be followed, and shall introduce such modifications in said procedure as the Bank shall reasonably request. The list of prequalified bidders, together with a statement of their qualifications and of the reasons for the exclusion of any appli- cant for prequalification shall be furnished by the Borrower to the Bank for its comments before the applicants are notified of the Borrower's decision, and the Borrower shall make such addi- tions to, deletions from, or modifications in, the said list as the Bank shall reasonably request. 2. Review of invitations to bid and of proposed awards and final contracts: With respect to all contracts: (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. - 19 - 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, by the consultants referred to in Section 3.02 of this Agreement, on the evaluation and com- parison of the bids received, together with the recommendations for award of the said consultants and such other information as the Bank shall reasonably request. The Bank shall, if it deter- mines 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 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. 3. Before agreeing to any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of a contract, or granting an exten- sion 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 15% 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. - 20 - SCHEDULE 5 National Highway Design Standards* Terrain Flat Class of Road Minor Roads** 2 3 4 5 Expressway Design speed (km/h) 60 60 70 80 100 120 Pavement width (m) 6.0 6.10 6.70 7.00 2x7.30 2x7.30 Median width (m) - - - - 4.00 12.00 Shoulder width (m) 1.50 1.50 2.00 2.50 3.00 3.00 Right of way 30 30 60 60 60 60 Stopping sight distance (m) 70 70 110 110 180 260 Passing sight distance (m) 350 350 450 450 600*** 800*** Maximum super- elevation (%) 8 8 8 8 8 8 Minimum horizontal radius (m) 125 125 240 240 400 750 * Structural Design: "Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges" adopted by the American Association of State Highway and Transport Officials (AASHTO).
