-Experience in learning Decree No.56.
In order to standardize the preparation of pre-qualification documents and bidding documents for engineering construction bidding, nine ministries and commissions of the state jointly promulgated Decree No.56 of 2008 and; Trial Provisions ",and in the annex, the prequalification documents and standard construction bidding documents (hereinafter referred to as" standard documents ") of the 2007 version of the standard construction bidding documents were compiled and published, stipulating that government-invested projects can be selected for pilot implementation from May 1 2008.
The compilation of bidding documents for engineering construction is a complicated work, and the quality of compilation directly affects the success or failure of bidding activities and the later implementation of engineering projects, which has a great influence on the owners. In the past, when bidding, different industries used different versions of engineering construction bidding documents, and the applicability of contract was different, which basically belonged to a fragmented state, and the compilation of documents was arbitrary, and there was no unified specification among industries. Among them: the formulation of norms is not clear; Unknown pricing method; There are loopholes in the compilation of special terms of the contract (rights and obligations of both parties, project advance payment, performance bond, settlement method, liability for breach of contract, etc.). ); The information provided by Party A is unclear; The block division is unreasonable; The construction period is unscientific; The site situation is unclear; List errors and omissions; There are many problems such as unfair bid evaluation conditions and unclear bid evaluation rules, which bring a lot of troubles and difficulties to the owner's later work. Due to the above problems in the operation of the bidding project and the execution of the contract, the work is very difficult, and it is urgent for the relevant administrative departments in the State Council to issue a template of construction bidding documents that is in line with international standards, unified and feasible, has strong operability, is convenient for the implementation of the project, and is also convenient for the guidance and supervision of management and supervision institutions.
In order to improve the quality of construction bidding documents and maintain the principles of "three publics" and "good faith", nine ministries and commissions of the country combined with international practice, and made FIDIC contract conditions as the main contract conditions, the 2007 version of standard documents conforms to China's construction project management system, is suitable for China's national conditions, provides standardized document versions for participants in bidding activities, and strengthens bidding in various industries.
Bidding documents for engineering construction are different from single equipment procurement or material procurement, and each engineering project has its own particularity. Due to the different industries and specialties of construction projects, the preparation of each tender document is different, and the special contract conditions prepared according to the characteristics of the project and the requirements of the tenderer will be different, and the requirements for bidders' qualifications will be even different. Document No.56 stipulates that the "Instructions to Bidders", "Bid Evaluation Methods" and "General Contract Terms" in the construction bidding documents should be quoted from the standard documents without modification, and at the same time stipulates Article 3: ... The industry standard construction bidding documents mainly focus on "Special Contract Terms", "Bill of Quantities", "Drawings" and "Technical Standards and Requirements". In view of this, after undertaking the agency project, if each industry has not yet formulated its own standard bidding documents, the bidding agency should consult with the tenderee to compile and improve the contents such as "special contract terms", "bill of quantities", "drawings", "technical standards and requirements" and all previous schedules in the standard documents, so as to compile a complete, standardized and suitable construction bidding document for project operation.
After studying the standard documents, it is reasonable to see the schedule before the bidder's instructions. Matters not covered in the main text of the instructions to bidders, as well as problems that need to be confirmed by the tenderee for different construction projects, shall be summarized according to the "ClauseNo.". This not only facilitates the tenderer's statement of the project, but also facilitates the bidder's understanding of the bidding project and bidding activities, and is very simple to use. In particular, the option is set in advance in the "Compilation Content", so that even the staff of the tendering agency who are not familiar with the construction of this project can know in advance what the problems to be negotiated with the tenderer are, which is convenient for communication during the operation of the project and more convenient for the audit and supervision of the supervisor. With the owners and construction enterprises becoming more and more familiar with the standard documents, the requirements of different construction projects can be understood only in the "pre-schedule", thus simplifying the complicated documents and conditions. Article 7 of the Trial Provisions also stipulates that the schedule before the instructions to bidders shall not conflict with the contents of the text, and the tenderee and tendering agency are also requested to pay attention to it when preparing documents.
Here are the twelve items in the construction bidding documents, respectively, to talk about the author's previous experience in compiling construction bidding documents and learning standard documents:
First, the preparation of the project overview
When compiling the bidding documents for engineering construction, the purpose of describing the general situation of the project is to help potential bidders understand the situation of the project. The main contents include the tenderer's name, project name, location, scale, geological characteristics, climatic conditions, site conditions, engineering conditions (structural types, forms and quantities, floors, main building contents, requirements for surrounding environment, design standards), preparation before construction and geological data, etc.
If it is a general civil building, it can be simpler, but it should also be made clear. At the very least, the building location, quantity, building area, number of floors, height, total height, structural type, foundation form, roof form, site conditions, etc. If the construction project is a community or a group, it can be numbered and described in blocks according to the structural form or similar drawings. If the purpose and structure of each building project are different, we must introduce them clearly.
The technical requirements of the general situation of industrial construction projects should be described in more detail and clearly, such as the special requirements of impermeability, fire prevention, temperature resistance, automatic control system, adopted technology and installed equipment. Some industrial construction projects have many structures, such as various pools, underground passages, chimneys, towers and furnace bodies. Their technical requirements are special and complicated. Generally, the special requirements of each unit should be stated according to their projects.
The bidder has provided a complete set of design drawings or construction drawings and bill of quantities. The general situation of the project can be written simply, but the general situation of the project, geological characteristics, climatic conditions, building scale and characteristics should be written, so that the bidder can basically understand the general situation of the project in the general situation of the project. When selling the tender documents, in addition to the complete set of construction drawings, such as ports, docks, bridges and other special projects, a map of the sea area near the project and a map of the construction site should be attached.
The staff of the tendering agency shall look for the general situation of the project from the feasibility study report and/or preliminary design documents, or look for and calculate from the construction drawing when preparing the bidding documents for the project construction.
As a project manager of a bidding agency, if you can't write a concise and clear "project overview", you will fail.
Second, the bidding qualification examination and approval.
Generally, the qualifications of bidders are clearly stipulated in the announcement and prequalification. For the project subject to tender that has not passed the prequalification, the requirements for bidders' bidding qualifications and the procedures and methods of qualification examination should also be indicated in the bidding documents. The qualification examination and qualification grade requirements of bidders shall be examined and approved according to the requirements of industry, project category, project scale, structural form, complexity and difficulty, construction period and project quality. The tenderee and tendering agency shall be familiar with the qualification grade and business scope of each construction enterprise formulated by the construction administrative department, and the construction conditions are harsh (high temperature, narrow site, quicksand, etc.). ) according to the project category (area or volume), complexity (complex structure, many steel structures, large span, towering, complicated installation of mechanical and electrical equipment), construction period, partial quality requirements (such as impermeability, heat resistance, radiation resistance, earthquake resistance, etc.). ). For the qualification grade requirements of bidders, it is necessary to distinguish between the general contracting qualification and the professional contracting qualification, depending on their coverage and penetration. The grade should not be set too high, so as not to exclude potential bidders with strength and economic strength, or the number of bidders is not enough, and it should not contain discriminatory conditions, and it should be set according to personal intentions.
The unified management of national qualifications is determined by the construction administrative department, and the general contracting qualifications have been divided into twelve categories according to different systems; The qualifications of professional contracting enterprises are also divided into 60 categories; The qualifications of construction labor subcontracting enterprises are divided into thirteen categories. These are managed and recognized by the construction administrative departments according to their levels, but our country is too big and there are too many administrative departments, and many relevant departments issue various qualification certificates to various related enterprises on their own. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the qualifications of bidders when preparing bidding documents or prequalification documents. Generally, the principle to be followed is to look at the general construction contract first, then at the professional contract, and then at other ministries and associations, and try to be comprehensive. The name and grade of contracting qualification must be written accurately, and there must be no mistakes, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
When setting the qualification requirements, I will first talk about prequalification: if the number of bidders is small, they can be approved according to the "qualification system" required by the standard prequalification documents; If too many bidders are considered, the comparison method of funds and qualifications (scoring method) should be published in the prequalification documents, which can be approved according to the "limited system" in the standard prequalification documents.
Three. Site Survey and Bidding Preparatory Meeting
"Preparatory meeting" and "on-site investigation" shall be organized by the tendering agency. First of all, the tender documents should indicate the time, meeting place and whether the bidder should bring his own vehicle. A few days after the tender documents are sold, that is, Article 23 of the Bidding Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that "if the tenderee makes necessary clarification or modification of the tender documents that have been issued, it shall notify all recipients of the tender documents in writing at least fifteen days before the deadline for submitting the tender documents" (so that the tenderee has time to discuss and confirm the clarification documents). Then, according to the time and place specified in the bidding documents, the organization organizes "pre-bidding meeting" and "on-site reconnaissance" attended by the tenderee, bidding agency, design unit and all potential bidders who have purchased the bidding documents.
In order to facilitate the operation and save time and expenses, it is best to organize the "pre-bidding meeting" and "site reconnaissance" together, and specify the procedures, time and matters needing attention in the bidding documents. "Pre-bid Meeting" and "Site Survey" are completed in four steps:
Procedure 1: Organize pre-bid meeting and introduce the project; Procedure 2: Reconnaissance the site and introduce the site situation; Procedure 3: Hold a face-to-face questioning and clarification meeting; Procedure 4: Summarize the minutes of the meeting and distribute the question-and-answer documents.
The organization and operation of "preparatory meeting" and "site investigation" can well reflect the level and ability of an organization and its project manager. In a construction project with a certain scale, it is not easy to be strict and standardized (of course, the site environment of the project is simple and the technical conditions are not complicated, which is another matter). The organization of the meeting was so protracted and messy that people couldn't even get together. I don't know.
Note: In the process of site survey, the introducer should listen to the opinions of all potential bidders when introducing the site situation, so as to avoid giving only one explanation when asking questions, which will cause misunderstanding.
