Request for One-Month Extension from the Current Bid Submission Date

Clarification 23-07-2026

Financial Qualification Requirement - Bank Certificate for Availability of PKR 2,000 Million Financing.

The Bidding Document requires the Firm/Consortium/JV to submit an original certificate from the Bank confirming the availability of financing of PKR 2,000 Million (or equivalent in foreign currency) within one month for project execution. To ensure uniformity in submissions and avoid any ambiguity during bid evaluation, we kindly request the Employer to provide the required wording, specimen format, or standard text of the Bank Reference Letter/Bank Certificate acceptable for this requirement. In case no specific format is prescribed, kindly confirm the minimum information that must be included in the Bank Certificate for compliance with the bidding requirements.

Information for the Bank Certificate

At a minimum, the Bank Certificate should include:

• Name of Bidder/JV/Consortium.
• Name and address of the issuing bank.
• Confirmation of the banking relationship with the applicant.
• Confirmation of the availability of financing, credit facilities, cash resources, or banking support amounting to at least PKR 2,000 Million (or equivalent foreign currency).
• Confirmation that such financing/resources can be made available within one month for project execution purposes.
• Date of issuance of the certificate.
• Signature, seal, designation, and contact details of the authorized bank official.

For Joint Ventures, the requirement may be satisfied by the JV collectively unless expressly stated otherwise in the bidding documents. The Employer reserves the right to seek verification or additional information from the issuing bank during the evaluation process.

Requirement of Tax Clearance Certificate

Ref: Sr.7 of Mandatory Eligibility of Qualification Criteria

At sub-serial iii), The bidder is required to submit for the last 03 years the Tax Clearance Certificates as part of the Technical Proposal.

It is kindly highlighted that there is no such “Tax Clearance Certificates” issued under normal circumstances by FBR, unless the person or entity is permanently leaving the Country. Reference to Rule 221 of Income Tax Rules as published by the FBR:

“Rule 221: Tax clearance certificate

(1) A person leaving Pakistan permanently may apply to the Commissioner for a tax clearance certificate referred to in sub-section(3)ofsection145where–

(a) the person has satisfied all income tax liabilities; or

(b) the person has made arrangements to the satisfaction of Commissioner for payment of income tax liabilities…”

Therefore, it is requested that corrections be made to this and “Tax Clearance Certificates” be substituted with “Active Taxpayer Status” for the subject eligibility. It is submitted that the Active Taxpayer Status itself is a proof that tax liabilities for that respective year have been cleared.

Response to Query Regarding Requirement of Tax Clearance Certificate

Thank you for your observation regarding the requirement to submit Tax Clearance Certificates under Sr. No. 7 (Mandatory Eligibility Criteria). The Employer appreciates the bidder's reference to the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Rules and acknowledges that, under normal circumstances, a formal Tax Clearance Certificate is generally not issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) as part of routine tax compliance and is typically associated with specific situations prescribed under applicable tax laws. The intent of the qualification requirement is to verify that the bidder is compliant with its tax obligations and is duly registered with the relevant tax authorities. Accordingly, for the purposes of demonstrating tax compliance, bidders may submit evidence of:

• Active Taxpayer Status (ATL) issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR); and
• Relevant tax registration certificates and tax return filing evidence for the prescribed period;

Submission via EPADS

Please clarify whether this is a Two-Stage bidding procedure as per PP Rule 36(c).

If yes, please clarify whether the “Bill of Quantities” Section on EPADS 2.0 needs to be filled for First Stage or whether it shall be submitted empty. Will the bidder be able to modify its submission later on for the Second Stage to be able to add the BOQ / Financial Proposal?

The submission window at EPADS 2.0 has an option to upload the bid security instrument. Please confirm if the bidder can submit the bid securing declaration at the bid security submission window.

Please confirm if all the JV Members have to make separate accounts on EPADS 2.0. Since there is no option currently to form JV electronically via EPADS, please confirm if the Lead Member may make the submission on behalf of the JV from the Lead Member's JV Account.

Response to Query Regarding Submission through EPADS

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your query regarding the bid submission process through EPADS.

Please find below the Employer's responses:

1. Two-Stage Procurement Procedure

The procurement is being conducted as a Two-Stage Bidding Procedure in accordance with the bidding documents and applicable procurement provisions. The First Stage is intended for submission and evaluation of the technical proposal and qualification requirements. .

2. BOQ Entry in EPADS During First Stage

For the First Stage submission, bidders are advised to comply with the requirements currently enabled on EPADS and specified in the bidding documents. In case of uploading limitations, scanned documents may be attached as Annexures. 

3. Bid Security Submission Window on EPADS

The bid submission process requires compliance with the Bid Security requirements specified in the bidding documents. Where the bidding documents require a Bid Security, bidders should upload the relevant Bid Security document in the designated EPADS field and submit the original instrument in accordance with the instructions provided in the bidding documents. A Bid Securing Declaration is not acceptable. 

4. EPADS Registration for Joint Ventures

The Employer confirms that the bid may be submitted by any member on behalf of the Joint Venture duly authorized by all JV members.

Clarifications regarding the ITB and Forms of the Bidding Document

1. PEC Codes:

Regarding the requirement of PEC Codes, the bidding document states that “(In case of JV the Local partner shall provide these codes). Note: The Bidder, whether a Single Entity, Joint Venture (JV), or Consortium, may meet the specialized code requirements collectively.”. Please confirm that the PEC Codes can be fulfilled by all JV Members collectively, whether local or international, and the local member(s) is/are not bound to fulfill all of them individually.

2. Equipment:

On pg. 89 of 161, it is stated that “All Machinery listed above shall be owned/leased by the Firm. Evidence of ownership/leased is to be attached.”. Whereas on pg. 38 of 161, it is stated that “Equipment Capabilities (Onwed)”. Please confirm that leased equipment is also allowed to be submitted for qualification purposes.

3. Discrepancies between the Instructions to Bidders:

Your attention is requested towards IB Clause 11.1(a), which requires the submission of “Letter of Bid…” etc. It is highlighted that neither is there a format of Letter of Bid provided in the bidding document, nor is there any submission window for Letter of Bid on EPADS 2.0. Please confirm if the submission of Letter of Bid is not required on EPADS 2.0.

4. Additional Forms Not Required:

The following forms have been provided in the bidding documents but there is no corresponding qualification criteria for these forms. Please confirm that these following forms do not need to be submitted:

• Form EXP - 4.1 General Construction Experience
• Form EXP - 4.2 (b) Construction Experience in Key Activities
• Form EXP - 4.2 (c) Specific Experience in Managing ES aspects

Only Form EXP - 4.2(a) Specific Construction and Contract Management Experience is sufficient to demonstrate the information required in the eligibility criteria (i.e., two projects for lead member and one for other member).

Response to Clarifications Regarding ITB and Forms of the Bidding Documents

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your queries. The Employer's responses are provided below:

1. PEC Codes

The requirement regarding PEC specialization codes shall be interpreted in conjunction with the note provided in the bidding documents.

The Pakistani JV member is required to possess the applicable PEC registration/category specified in the bidding documents. However, for qualification purposes, the specialized code requirements may be demonstrated collectively by the Bidder, whether participating as a Single Entity, Joint Venture (JV), or Consortium, as expressly stated in the tender documents.

Accordingly, the local JV member is not required to independently satisfy all specialized code requirements provided that the Bidder collectively meets the prescribed requirements and all mandatory regulatory requirements applicable to the Pakistani partner are fulfilled.

2. Equipment Requirements

The Employer acknowledges the apparent inconsistency between the references to "Equipment Capabilities (Owned)" and the qualification requirement stating that machinery may be "owned/leased."

For the purposes of qualification, equipment may be owned by the Bidder/JV member(s).  Supporting evidence of ownership shall be submitted as required by the bidding documents. 

3. Letter of Bid

The observation regarding the absence of a Letter of Bid format and a corresponding EPADS submission field has been noted. Bidders shall submit all documents and forms expressly required through EPADS and the bidding documents. The Employer is reviewing this matter and will issue clarification through an addendum if any additional submission requirement is intended.

In the absence of a prescribed format and designated submission mechanism, bidders may proceed in accordance with the currently available EPADS submission requirements and bidding document provisions.

4. Forms EXP-4.1, EXP-4.2(b) and EXP-4.2(c)

The Employer does not concur that these forms may be disregarded solely because they are not directly linked to a scoring criterion.

The forms included within the bidding documents constitute part of the prescribed bid submission package and may be utilized by the Employer to verify qualification, experience, technical capability, post-qualification requirements, or supporting information. Accordingly, bidders are advised to complete and submit all applicable forms provided in the bidding documents, including:

Form EXP-4.1 General Construction Experience;

Form EXP-4.2(a) Specific Construction and Contract Management Experience;

Form EXP-4.2(b) Construction Experience in Key Activities;

Form EXP-4.2(c) Specific Experience in Managing ES Aspects;

to the extent relevant to their bid and qualifications.

The submission of Form EXP-4.2(a) alone should not be assumed to be sufficient unless expressly stated through an official addendum or clarification issued by the Employer.

Any further clarification deemed necessary will be communicated to all prospective bidders through EPADS.

Yours sincerely,

Procurement Committee

Discrepancy in the Amount of Bid Security

Ref: Jobs/Lots Table under Evaluation Criteria (pg.39 of 161): The amount of Bid Security is entered as PKR 200,200,000/-  in the bidding document (pg. 39 of 161) and on EPADS 2.0.

Whereas, at Sr. 4 under Invitation for Bids (page 95 of 161) and Bidding Data Clause 15.1 (pg.107 of 161) the amount of Bid security is entered as “200 Million”.

Moreover, in the BDS (page 34 of 161) the amount of Bid Security is not stated.

It is requested to please clarify the correct amount of bid security (in words) and please make the amendments to the bidding document and the EPADS 2.0 bid security submission page accordingly.

Response to Query Regarding Bid Security Amount

Dear Sir,

Thank you for bringing this discrepancy to our attention. The Employer acknowledges that the bidding documents contain differing references regarding the amount of Bid Security, namely: PKR 200,200,000/- as indicated in the Jobs/Lots Table under the Evaluation Criteria and on EPADS. PKR 200 Million as stated under the Invitation for Bids and Bidding Data Clause 15.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, bidders are advised that the intended Bid Security amount is Pakistan Rupees Two Hundred Million (PKR 200,000,000/-). However, a formal confirmation and any necessary correction to the bidding documents and EPADS shall be issued through an official corrigendum/addendum.

We appreciate your careful review of the bidding documents and thank you for bringing this matter to the Employer's attention.

Yours sincerely,

Procurement Committee

Clarifications regarding the General and Particular Conditions of Contract

1. Old Version of FIDIC:

Page 46 of 161: It is stated that FIDIC Red Book 2017 Second Edition shall form General Conditions of Contract. It appears that this is not the FIDIC Red Book 2017 Second Edition Reprint 2022 with Amendments. It is proposed that 2022 Reprint be incorporated as it has addressed the previous errors which are present in original text of FIDIC 2017. This shall be in the best interest of the project.

It is also requested to also make this change on the DAAB Agreement Clause 1(b) (i.e., pg. 71 of 161).

2. Duration of the Contract:

At Clause 1.2 of Bidding Data (BD), the duration of the contract is entered as 700 days, however, under ITB Number 1.1 of Bid Data Sheet (BDS) the period of completion of the works is 02 years, which equates to 730 days. Moreover, in PCC Sub-Clause 1.1.84, the Time for Completion is stated as 100 days for the whole of the works and in Schedule C-1 to Bid (pg. 119 of 161), it is stated as 1095 days. It is requested to please clarify the correct duration for the completion of the Works.

3. Delay Damages, Ref. PCC Sub-Clause 8.8 & 14.15(b)

“Delay Damages payable for each day of delay 1.00% of the Accepted Contract Amount for delay in completion of whole of the Works”

It is submitted that this amount of delay damages is unrealistic. The maximum amount of delay damages (i.e., 10%) shall be fulfilled in a mere 10 days. This would be highly penalizing for the Contractor. Moreover, this would also be disadvantageous to the Employer because there is no difference between, for example, a 10-day delay and a 10-month delay. Please refer to the standard bidding document issued by PEC at Pg. 100, where it is stated that: “Delay Damages should correspond to anticipated damages or max. amount of Delay Damages be achieved in one third of the Time for Completion”.

Taking the Time for Completion as 730 days, 10% damages must be achieved in 243 days, which means the Delay Damages payable per day would be 0.0411% or rounded to 0.05%. This rationalized number shall be advantageous to the Employer because it will give an incentive to the Contractor to finish as early as possible. It is requested that this rationalized number be substituted for 1.00% above, in accordance with PEC guidelines and standard industry practices, in the best interest of the project.

3. Period of Payment:

“Sub-Clause 14.7b(i)

Period for the Employer to make interim payments to the Contractor under Sub-Clause 14.6: Nil days

Sub-Clause 14.7b(ii)

Period for the Employer to make interim payments to the Contractor under Sub-Clause 14.13 (Final Payment): Nil days”

It is submitted that this clause is unrealistic and highly unreasonable for a critical public sector project of this scale, where the estimated contract cost is 13 billion rupees. It is respectfully stated that it is highly unreasonable that on the one hand, the Employer expects the Contractor to execute this mega-project in fast-track mode with 24-hour working, and on the other hand, the Employer is not setting any payment timelines / deadlines. Being a critical project of a federal ministry and funded by a foreign development fund, it is naturally expected that there should be a set timeline for payments because there does not appear to be any shortage of funds for this project.

In view of the above, it is respectfully requested that the payment timeline be stated as 28 days as proposed by FIDIC 2017.

4. Ambiguity regarding Appointing Entity for DAAB Members

"Sub-Clause 21.2

Appointing entity (official) for DAAB members: Managing Director Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) or Chairman Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) from the list of PEC approved arbitrators published at its website”

In this regard, it is requested to nominate a single authority for appointing of DAAB members. If there is a dispute regarding appointment, the above ambiguous clause shall open doors for further disputes regarding the appointing entity. It is requested that it be changed to a singular authority, preferably the Chairman PEC because they have a ready list of approved arbitrators with Engineering qualifications as required for this project.

It is requested to also make this change in Clause 12 of the DAAB Agreement as stated in PCC Part-B (pg. 63 of 161).

“12 Disputes Under DAAB Agreement

In the first paragraph, third, fourth and fifth line, the text “under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce 2017……………shall apply” is substituted with “under the Arbitration Act 1940 by sole arbitrator appointed by the Managing Director Public Procurement Regulatory Authority or Chairman Pakistan Engineering Council.”

5. Customs Taxes

Please confirm if the provisions of PCC Part B Sub-Clause 14.1 override the provisions of the PCC Part B Clause 22.

Response to Clarifications Regarding General and Particular Conditions of Contract

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your observations and suggestions regarding the Conditions of Contract. The Employer's responses are provided below:

1. FIDIC Red Book 2017 Edition

The Conditions of Contract included in the bidding documents are based on the edition expressly identified in the tender documents. Bidders shall prepare their bids on the basis of the issued bidding documents.

The proposal to adopt the FIDIC Red Book 2017 Second Edition Reprint 2022 (with amendments) has been noted. However, unless otherwise notified through an official addendum, the edition currently incorporated in the bidding documents shall remain applicable. The same position shall apply to all related references, including the DAAB Agreement.

2. Duration of the Contract

The Employer acknowledges the apparent inconsistency among the following provisions:

• BDS ITB 1.1: 2 Years
• Bidding Data Clause 1.2: 700 Days
• PCC Sub-Clause 1.1.84: 100 Days
• Schedule C-1 to Bid: 1095 Days

Please be informed that the contract duration may be read as 730 days, and the same will be updated in the upcoming official corrigendum. 

3. Delay Damages (PCC Sub-Clause 8.8 and 14.15)

The Employer notes the comments regarding the rate of delay damages and the reference to PEC Standard Bidding Documents. The liquidated damages provisions included in the bidding documents reflect the Employer's current requirements and project objectives. Any revision to the prescribed delay damages will be considered by the Employer and, if approved, shall be communicated through an official addendum. At present, bidders are requested to prepare their proposals based on the provisions contained in the issued bidding documents.

4. Period for Employer's Payments (Sub-Clause 14.7)

The Employer acknowledges the observation regarding the entry of "Nil Days" under Sub-Clause 14.7 for interim and final payments. This matter is under review and will be clarified, where necessary, through an official corrigendum/addendum. Until such clarification is issued, the provisions of the bidding documents shall prevail.

5. DAAB Appointing Authority

The comments regarding the designation of a single appointing authority for DAAB members have been noted. The Employer will review the wording of Sub-Clause 21.2 and the corresponding provisions of the DAAB Agreement. Any amendment considered necessary for clarity or consistency will be issued through an official addendum. Until such time, the clause shall be interpreted as presently stated in the bidding documents.

6. Customs Duties - Relationship Between PCC Part B Sub-Clause 14.1 and PCC Clause 22

PCC Part B Sub-Clause 14.1 specifically addresses customs duty arrangements relating to Contractor's Equipment and temporary importation procedures. PCC Clause 22 contains a general explanatory note concerning customs duties and related taxes. In the event of any inconsistency, the specific operative contractual provisions shall prevail over general explanatory notes. Accordingly, bidders are advised to rely on the detailed provisions contained in PCC Part B Sub-Clause 14.1 and other applicable Contract Documents for pricing and contractual purposes.

Should any further clarification or amendment be considered necessary by the Employer, the same shall be communicated through an official corrigendum/addendum.

Yours sincerely,

Procurement Committee

Response to Query Regarding Apparent Mismatch Between ITB and BDS References

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your detailed review of the bidding documents and for bringing the discrepancies in the ITB/BDS clause numbering to our attention. The Employer acknowledges that certain clause references in the Bid Data Sheet (BDS) appear to follow a numbering sequence that differs from the numbering adopted in the Instructions to Bidders (ITB). This appears to have resulted from adapting the standard bidding document template. Based on a preliminary review, the cross-references identified in your correspondence generally appear to correspond to the relevant ITB provisions as indicated below:

BDS Reference/Corresponding ITB Reference

BDS ITB 9.4(b)ITB 10.4.3

BDS ITB 12.4ITB 13.5

BDS ITB 12.6ITB 13.7

BDS ITB 32.2ITB 34.2

BDS ITB 39.1 & 39.2ITB 41.1 & 41.2

Bidders are requested to interpret the relevant BDS provisions in conjunction with the corresponding ITB clauses governing the same subject matter.

The Employer is currently reviewing the observations received from bidders regarding clause numbering, cross-references, and other editorial inconsistencies. Where necessary, an official corrigendum/addendum will be issued through EPADS for the information of all prospective bidders.

In the meantime, the substantive requirements, obligations, and evaluation criteria set out in the bidding documents remain unchanged, and the relevant BDS provisions shall continue to apply to the corresponding ITB subjects they are intended to modify or supplement.

We appreciate your careful review of the tender documents and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Request for Extension of Bid Submission Deadline

Dear Sir,

We are participating in the above two-stage international bidding process and respectfully request an extension of thirty (30) days in the bid submission deadline of Monday, 24 August 2026 (3:00 PM PST). The mandatory joint venture with at least one Saudi and one Pakistani company under SFD conditions requires execution of the JV agreement, notarization and attestation/legalization of corporate documents from China, which cannot be completed within the remaining period. Arrangement of the bid security of PKR 200 million in favour of the Capital Development Authority, together with physical delivery of the original instrument  before the deadline, likewise requires additional bank processing time. We are also awaiting the minutes of the pre-bid meeting held on 27 July 2026 and any consequent addendum, which will directly affect our technical proposal.

We accordingly request that the deadline be extended to Thursday, 24 September 2026, and notified as an addendum on EPADS v2.0 for the uniform information of all bidders. The extension will enable wider participation and more responsive proposals for this prestigious project.

Yours sincerely,
