Sixth Edition

 Preface

These Philippine Bidding Documents (PBDs) for the procurement of Infrastructure

Projects (hereinafter referred to also as the “Works”) through Competitive Bidding have been
prepared by the Government of the Philippines for use by all branches, agencies, departments,
bureaus, offices, or instrumentalities of the government, including government-owned and/or
-controlled corporations, government financial institutions, state universities and colleges,
local government units, and autonomous regional government. The procedures and practices
presented in this document have been developed through broad experience, and are for
mandatory use in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the Government of the
Philippines or any foreign government/foreign or international financing institution in
accordance with the provisions of the 2016 revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184.

The PBDs are intended as a model for admeasurements (unit prices or unit rates in a
bill of quantities) types of contract, which are the most common in Works contracting.

The Bidding Documents shall clearly and adequately define, among others: (i) the
objectives, scope, and expected outputs and/or results of the proposed contract; (ii) the
eligibility requirements of Bidders; (iii) the expected contract duration; and (iv)the obligations,
duties, and/or functions of the winning Bidder.

Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the PBDs against the
requirements of the specific Works to be procured. If duplication of a subject is inevitable in
other sections of the document prepared by the Procuring Entity, care must be exercised to
avoid contradictions between clauses dealing with the same matter.

Moreover, each section is prepared with notes intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They shall not be included in
the final documents. The following general directions should be observed when using the
documents:

a. All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for the
procurement of Infrastructure Projects. However, they should be adapted as
necessary to the circumstances of the particular Project.

b. Specific details, such as the “name of the Procuring Entity” and “address for
bid submission,” should be furnished in the Instructions to Bidders, Bid Data
Sheet, and Special Conditions of Contract. The final documents should contain
neither blank spaces nor options.

c. This Preface and the footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation to
Bid, BDS, General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions of Contract,
Specifications, Drawings, and Bill of Quantities are not part of the text of the
final document, although they contain instructions that the Procuring Entity
should strictly follow.

d. The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding Documents as

to the names of the Project, Contract, and Procuring Entity, in addition to date
of issue.

1
e. Modifications for specific Procurement Project details should be provided in the
Special Conditions of Contract as amendments to the Conditions of Contract.
For easy completion, whenever reference has to be made to specific clauses in
the Bid Data Sheet or Special Conditions of Contract, these terms shall be
printed in bold typeface on Sections I (Instructions to Bidders) and III (General
Conditions of Contract), respectively.

f. For guidelines on the use of Bidding Forms and the procurement of Foreign-
Assisted Projects, these will be covered by a separate issuance of the
Government Procurement Policy Board.

 Section VIII. Bill of Quantities

Notes on the Bill of Quantities

Objectives

The objectives of the Bill of Quantities are:

a. to provide sufficient information on the quantities of Works to be performed to

enable Bids to be prepared efficiently and accurately; and

b. when a Contract has been entered into, to provide a priced Bill of Quantities for use
in the periodic valuation of Works executed.

In order to attain these objectives, Works should be itemized in the Bill of Quantities in
sufficient detail to distinguish between the different classes of Works, or between Works of
the same nature carried out in different locations or in other circumstances which may give
rise to different considerations of cost. Consistent with these requirements, the layout and
content of the Bill of Quantities should be as simple and brief as possible.

Daywork Schedule

A Daywork Schedule should be included only if the probability of unforeseen work, outside
the items included in the Bill of Quantities, is high. To facilitate checking by the Entity of
the realism of rates quoted by the Bidders, the Daywork Schedule should normally comprise
the following:

a. A list of the various classes of labor, materials, and Constructional Plant for which
basic daywork rates or prices are to be inserted by the Bidder, together with a
statement of the conditions under which the Contractor will be paid for work
executed on a daywork basis.

b. Nominal quantities for each item of Daywork, to be priced by each Bidder at

Daywork rates as Bid. The rate to be entered by the Bidder against each basic
Daywork item should include the Contractor’s profit, overheads, supervision, and
other charges.

Provisional Sums

A general provision for physical contingencies (quantity overruns) may be made by

including a provisional sum in the Summary Bill of Quantities. Similarly, a contingency
allowance for possible price increases should be provided as a provisional sum in the
Summary Bill of Quantities. The inclusion of such provisional sums often facilitates
budgetary approval by avoiding the need to request periodic supplementary approvals as the
future need arises. Where such provisional sums or contingency allowances are used, the
SCC should state the manner in which they will be used, and under whose authority (usually
the Procuring Entity’s Representative’s).
50
The estimated cost of specialized work to be carried out, or of special goods to be supplied,
by other contractors should be indicated in the relevant part of the Bill of Quantities as a
particular provisional sum with an appropriate brief description. A separate procurement
procedure is normally carried out by the Procuring Entity to select such specialized
contractors. To provide an element of competition among the Bidders in respect of any
facilities, amenities, attendance, etc., to be provided by the successful Bidder as prime
Contractor for the use and convenience of the specialist contractors, each related provisional
sum should be followed by an item in the Bill of Quantities inviting the Bidder to quote a
sum for such amenities, facilities, attendance, etc.

Signature Box

A signature box shall be added at the bottom of each page of the Bill of Quantities where the
authorized representative of the Bidder shall affix his signature. Failure of the authorized
representative to sign each and every page of the Bill of Quantities shall be a cause for
rejection of his bid.

These Notes for Preparing a Bill of Quantities are intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They should not be included
in the final documents.
