The BAC shall inform each prospective bidder whether it has been declared "eligible" or "ineligible". 6. Notwithstanding the eligibility of a prospective bidder, the BAC reserves the right to review its qualification at any stage of the procurement process if it has reasonable ground to believe that a misrepresentation has been made by the said prospective bidder, or that there has been a change in the capability of the prospective bidder to undertake the Project from the time it submitted its pre-qualification documents. Should such review find any misrepresentation made in the pre-qualification documents, or any changes in the situation of the prospective bidder or bidder which will affect its capability to undertake the Project so that it fails the pre-qualification criteria, KEPHILCO shall consider the said prospective bidder as ineligible and shall disqualify it from submitting a bid or from obtaining an award of contract. 7. KEPHILCO reserves the right to waive minor deviations in the eligibility criteria if it will not materially affect the capability of the prospective bidder to perform the contract. 8.

Eligibility Criteria The following information shall be provided and disclosed which shall be the criteria to be used in determining the eligibility of a prospective bidder to participate in the bidding for the Project. 1. A prospective bidder must be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or a joint venture, validly registered, incorporated, or existing in accordance with the laws of the country of its registration, incorporation, or establishment. With respect to joint ventures, juridical entities may form a joint venture to bid for and undertake the Project; provided, however, that all parties to the joint venture are jointly and severally responsible and liable for the Project, and that the principal member/partner that shall represent the joint venture shall be identified as such; provided, further, that all members/partners of the joint venture shall submit the Eligibility Documents listed in Section D below; provided further, that it is understood that the data of all members of the joint venture whose documents have been submitted will be considered together to meet the qualifying criteria for the Technical and Financial requirements in Section E below.

2. The prospective bidder shall provide information about any litigation, mediation, arbitration, or out of court settlement resulting from contracts completed or ongoing under its executing over the last five (5) years. A consistent history of decisions/awards against the prospective bidder or any partner of a joint venture may result in a declaration of ineligibility. 1. The prospective bidder must not be "blacklisted" or barred from bidding by the Philippine Government or any of its agencies, offices, corporations, instrumentalities or Local Government Units (LGUs), including non-inclusion in the Consolidated Blacklisting Report issued by the Government of the Philippines. 2. The prospective bidder must provide a list of its major / largest contracts or Project completed within the last three (3) years prior to the issuance of the request for prequalification documents. 3. Prospective bidders shall disclose their subcontractors. KEPHILCO's prior written consent for each subcontractor will be required for implementation. 4. The prospective bidder must demonstrate its capabilities by providing a list of its contracts over the past three (3) years that involved services related to the Project.

This requirement is based on the estimation of the financial strength required of a company to implement this type of project; however, it is not based on an approved project budget. The NFCC is calculated as follows: NFCC = [(Current assets — current liabilities) (10)] — the value of all outstanding projects under ongoing contracts, including awarded contracts yet to be started. If a prospective bidder's NFCC is less than PHP 34,000,000.00, the prospective bidder must present a written commitment from a licensed bank to extend to it a credit line specific to the Project, if awarded the same, or a certificate of hold out on cash deposit, equal to cover the shortfall of the NFCC. NOTE: This PHP 34,000,000.00 requirement is for establishing eligibility to bid. A bidder's NFCC at the time of submission of its bid will be controlling, and it may be more if substantiated in the bidder's proposal. 8. The prospective bidder and joint venture partners must submit their audited financial statements for the last three (3) years prior to the date of issuance of the call for prequalification documents. Prospective bidders, corporations, partnerships, and other entities, with less than one (1) year existence, shall submit a written statement regarding their capability to undertake the Project together with competent proof of their financial position, including but not limited to trial balances, and related documents. NOTE: The bidding for the Project will be by lot. Each lot corresponds to a package comprising a number of sitios in a Project Area. A bidder will have the option of submitting a bid on any or all lots.
