1.为什么资格预审?(why prequalification)The successful execution of contracts for large buildings, civil engineering, supply and installation, turnkey, and design-and-build projects requires that contracts are awarded only to firms, or combinations of firms, that are suitably experienced in the type of work and construction technology involved, that are financially and managerially sound, and that can provide all the equipment required in a timely manner. The assessment by an implementing agency of the suitability of firms to carry out a particular contract prior to being invited to submit a bid is a process called prequalification.2.资格预审会不会降低后续施工招标中的积极性不会。

3.benifit of prequalificationThe prequalification process is of benefit to both bidders and Executing Agencies alike, in that• the process enables prospective bidders, who may be insufficiently qualified on their own, to avoid the expense of bidding, or to form a joint venture that may give a better chance of success;• with prequalification, well qualified firms will price their bids with the knowledge that they are competing against other qualified bidders meeting realistic minimum competence criteria, and with the assurance that inadequately qualified competitors will be excluded from submitting unrealistically low bids, leading contractors are encouraged to bid;• prequalification enables Executing Agencies to assess the interest from qualified firms generated by the contract and, in the event that only a limited number of applications are received, to make any necessary adjustments in the procurement process; • it helps to expose potential conflicts of interest of an applicant with other parties involved in this prequalification process;• it reduces the amount of work and time involved by Executing Agencies in evaluating bids from unqualified contractors; it encourages local firms to form joint ventures with other local or international firms, thereby benefiting from their resources and experience;• it enables the Executing Agencies to assess the likelihood o f contractors’ eligibility for domestic bidder price preference in borrowing countries where this is applicable; and • it reduces significantly, if not eliminates, problems of rejection associated with low-priced bids submitted by bidders of doubtful capability.4.mutiple contract将标划分成很多块来判断承保能力。
招投标外文文献外文文献:The Significance of the Tendering Contract on The Opportunities for Clients to Encourage Contractor-led Innovation ABSTRACTDuring the tendering process for most major construction contracts there is the opportunity for bidders to suggest alternative innovative solutions. Clearly clients are keen to take advantage of these opportunities, and equally contractors want to use their expertise to establish competitive advantage. Both parties may very well benefit from the encouragement of such innovation and the availability of cheaper methods of construction than have been contemplated by the tendering authority.However recent developments in common law have raised doubts about the ability of owners to seek alternative tenders without placing themselves at risk of litigation. This common law has recognised the existence of the so-called …tendering contract? or …process contract?. Since the tendering process is inherently price competitive, the application of the tendering contract concept is likely to severely inhibit the opportunity for alternative tenders.This paper is primarily based on the literature review. The aim of this paper is to highlight the problems with the competitive tendering process in relation to contractor-led innovation and explore ways in which owners can develop procurement procedures that will allow and encourage innovation from contractors.PROBLEMS WITH COMPETITIVE TENDERINGThe traditional tendering process was designed to produce direct price competition for a specified product. Evaluation of tenders could only be confined to price alone by creating a system in which price is the only criterion that could vary while design and technical content are the same for each competing tender. Albeit the contract period is stipulated as constant, owners often encourage tenderers to submit a second tender which offers an alternative price for an alternative time performance. Tenderers would achieve this by reworking their tender programme, finding the optimum contract period, and adjusting the tender price accordingly. Each tenderer would compete to find novel ways of organising the work method that would allow not only the minimum construction cost but also maximum profit margin within the price proposed. However, this process is always confined by the boundary of the owner?s design. In this way, the successful tenderer?s scope to be innovative is very limited .When evaluating alternative tenders, the owner is confronted with the duty of equal treatment and fairness to all tenderers. If one is to be preferred on an alternative tender, which is not a conforming tender in terms of the original invitation, how can all tenderers be treated equally and fairly? Any individualism exhibited on the part of a tenderer outside the permitted scope of price and time must disqualify that tender from the owner?s consideration because it does not conform to the invitation. Therefore, the traditional tendering process prevents, restricts or even discourages contractor-led innovation .Songer and Ibbs believed that the use of design-and-build procurement method would encourage innovation in the building process. This procurement method imposes single pointresponsibility on contractor for the complete building and its tendering processdiffer from that of the traditional procurement method in that it must be capable of evaluating design as well as production capability, time and price, all on a competitive basis. This is not easy. Competitive design is not easy to evaluate in the context of tendering. The objectivity appears to be replaced by subjectivity in picking the winner, and the apparent integrity of the bidding process is lost, unless very clear criteria are established at the outset for evaluation of competing designs. This also means to say that the tender process rules must be designed as such that itencourages contractor-led innovation, yet at the same time places some limit on the scope for such innovation. The limits must be such that the project delivered is still the project for which tenders were invited. Songer and Ibbs, with respect to this aspect, asserted that one concern of public agencies is how to allow for innovation while maintaining appropriate control of certain design aspects of the project. Determining an appropriate balance of innovation and control in design and adequately communicating the desired balance to potential design-and-build tenderers provides a significant challenge to public sector agencies.TH E ‘TENDERING CONTRACT’Developments in the law relating to tenders traditionally treated an …invitation to tender? or a …request for tenders? as no more than an invitation to treat, an indication that the owner was ready to do business – something prior to and short of an offer . In other words, an invitation to treat was not an offer to make a contract with any person who might act on the invitation, butmerely a first step in negotiation which may, or may not, leadto a contract. When each tenderer submitted its tender in the prescribed form, it amounted to an offer which could be regarded as an offer to makea contract. If the offer met with unequivocal acceptance, contractual obligation arose between the owner and the successful tenderer .Recently, the modern view turns this theory upside down. There exists what is known as the …two contract? analysis involving the emergence of the …tendering contract?. The invitation to tender is now in some circumstances to be treated as an offer to make a contract which a tenderer accepts when it submits a conforming tender. The owner makes an offer to each tenderer which might be worded as follows:“If you submit a tender in response to my invitation and which complies with the stipulations made, I will consider that t ender …” .There is no obligation at all at this point on the side of the tenderers, but if a conforming tender is submitted, a contract is formed between owner and tenderer which has been described here as the …tendering contract? or described elsewhere a s a …pre-award contract?or …process contract?. This contract is quite distinct from the contract eventually entered into with the successful tenderer, called the main contract. Obligations of a contractual nature therefore arise between the owner and each tenderer who has submitted a proposal. Justas the tender contract places obligations on the owner, each tender also imposes obligations on the tenderer. Once the tender has been submitted to the owner, meaning the tender or first contract has been formed, the owner becomes obliged to each tenderer to perform its side of bargain, which at this stage is an obligation to consider all conforming tenders. By the same token, tenderersbecome obliged to not simply withdraw their tender, the tender will remain open for a stipulated period of time. Under the …two contract? principle,a tenderer who makes a mistake may find that thetender is accepted with no opportunity to escape even if there is an error in tender compilation .For the sake of clarity, it may be stated that the submission of a conforming tender in response to an invitation can create contractual obligations for both parties. In the case: Ontario v. Ron Engineering & Construction Eastern Ltd, the Court of Canada held that a contract was brought into being automatically upon the submission of a responsive tender by each tenderer. Having established that a …tendering contract? exists, it is then important to constitute what the terms are of that contract. The terms are derived from the tender conditions, t he …tendercode?, andother relevant material such as legislation and correspondence . All or some of the provisions of the …tender code? may be incorporated in the …tendering contract? by reference and/or by implication. A terms may be implied to the effect that the owner must consider all conforming tenders, must treat all tenderers equally and fairly, and must award only a contract for the project tendered for.GUIDANCE ON CONTRACTOR SELECTIONThe Significance of Probity in TenderingProbity is defin ed in various dict ionaries as “moral excellence, integrity, uprightness, conscientiousness, honesty, sincerity”. In the tendering context, it generally depends upon confidentiality of documentation and decision making, objective and consistent assessment at each phase of decision making and resolution of any possible, perceived or actual conflicts of interest.Thus, one of the primary objectives of probity in tendering is to maintain the integrity of the bidding process. The Canadian court in the Ron Engineering case referred to this as the obligation of owners to treat all tenderers equally and fairly.Johnstone asserts that transparency in the entire contracting out process is essential so that potential contractors and members of the public can have confidence in the outcomes. If integrity and impartiality are not evident, tenderers may be reluctant to make a bid, the formulation of which requires significant amount of time and resources. In that case, competition is likely to be lessened and the best value for money may not be achieved.In principle, recent development in common law attempts to maintain some integrity in the tendering process by recognising the existence of the parties? obligations to one another so that the owner cannot simply reject or accept tenders as it pleases, or cannot negotiate with one or more tenderers to produce satisfactory deal. As mentioned previously, the contractual obligation between the parties is referred to as the …tendering contract?. Breach of the …tendering contract?entitles the injured party to the normal remedy of damages. Probity in the tendering process ensures that fair and equal treatment to all tenderers is put in place and maintained so that no term of the …tendering contract? is likely to be breached. Accord ing to Johnstone, common probity objectives are:·to ensure all respondents are assessed objectively and consistently· to ensure integrity in all evaluation and selection process· to ensure all confidential information is secured· to address any potent ial, or actual conflicts of interest· to promote defensibility of process.Guidelines to Avoid Breach of the ‘Tendering Contract’ in the Competitive Bidding Process On conclusion, Craig suggests some guidelines on how alternative tenders and tenders involving design proposals might be taken legitimately by the owner so as to avoid or minimise the likelihood of the clients placing themselves at risk of litigation due to a breach of the contractual obligations arising out of the …tendering contract?. They are specified as follows.· Under the …tendering contract? the owner is obliged to treat all tenders equally and fairly. All conforming tenders must therefore be considered.·An effective …privilege clause? which says something like “any tender will notnecessarily be accepted” will normally prevent an owner becoming obliged to accept any tender. All tenders may therefore be properly rejected. On the other hand, a term to the effect that a contract will be awarded to the lowest, or highest, bidder is enforceable. This implies that an owner cannot use the …privilege clause? as an excuse for deviating from the contract evaluation and award criteria set down in the tender invitation or documents. Or, put it another way, the…privilege clause? does not allow the owner to: (i) choose comparatively among the tenderers based on criteria that has not been disclosed to the tenderers; or (ii) to award to another tenderer or another person something other than the main contract.· It would be a breach of the tendering oblig ation of equal and fair treatment for the owner to negotiate with one tenderer on terms which do not apply to other tenderers.·All tenderers are entitled to know the basis on which tenders will be evaluated and on which acontract-award decision will bemade.·If innovation from tenderers is required, an owner must expressly create the right for a tenderer to submit an alternative tender. If the right then exists, the owner is obliged to consider such proposals. T enderers must be informed of criteria for evaluation of such alternative proposals.·Tender conditions must define the scope of alternative tenders. That scope must be not too tight so as to restrict innovation, but not too wide so as to result in a proposal for a scheme quite different to the one originally tendered for.·Tender conditions for projects involving design must include criteria for evaluating that design. The criteria must be made known to all tenderers.·It is a breach of the …tendering contract? for the owner to award a contract to a tenderer who offers something different to what was asked for in the invitation to tender.Furthermore, Johnstone adds· Invitation document should be accessible to all potential bidders. They should be expressed in readily understood terms.·It is easier to formulate appropriate selection criteria when the project specifications are developed first. Clear specifications and selection criteria assist possible contractors to formulate bids appropriately.· A policy in relation to non-conforming bids should be formulated and documented in the invitation documentation.·Often assessment of bids will involve a number of assessment panels. In this situation, there should be a separation of assessment panels. For example, a panel of experts may review financial viability whilst another will look at those same bids from a design perspective. Assessment panels would commonly bequarantined through the evaluation period. SUMMARY This paper highlights the problems with competitive tendering in relation to contractor-led innovation. In the traditional method, contractor-led innovation may be encouraged at the tendering stage. However, to enable acceptance by the owner, criteria for evaluation of and the scope of alternative tenders must be clearly defined in the tender document. By the same token, tender conditions for projects involving design must include criteria for evaluating that design t.Guidance has been outlined of how to reduce the risk of owner falling into a breach of the …tendering contract? in the competitive tendering process when it involves alternative tenders or design proposals. One of the alternative contractor selection methods identified has been briefly described.。
土建合同一类二类区别英文回答:Category I and Category II Construction Contracts.In the construction industry, contracts are typically classified into two main categories: Category I and Category II. These categories are based on the complexity and value of the project, as well as the level of risk involved.Category I Contracts.Category I contracts are generally used for projects that are relatively straightforward and have a low level of risk. These projects typically have a value of less than $1 million and involve activities such as:Building construction.Road construction.Bridge construction.Utility construction.Site work.The terms and conditions of Category I contracts are typically standardized and are based on industry best practices. This helps to reduce the risk for both the contractor and the owner.Category II Contracts.Category II contracts are used for projects that are more complex and have a higher level of risk. Theseprojects typically have a value of more than $1 million and involve activities such as:Industrial construction.Commercial construction.Institutional construction.Heavy civil construction.Design-build projects.The terms and conditions of Category II contracts are typically more complex and are negotiated between the contractor and the owner. This is because these projects involve more risk and require a greater level of customization.Key Differences Between Category I and Category II Contracts.The following are some of the key differences between Category I and Category II contracts:Complexity: Category II contracts are typically more complex than Category I contracts.Value: Category II contracts typically have a higher value than Category I contracts.Risk: Category II contracts typically involve a higher level of risk than Category I contracts.Terms and conditions: The terms and conditions of Category II contracts are typically more complex and are negotiated between the contractor and the owner.Choosing the Right Contract Type.The type of contract that is used for a particular project should be based on the complexity, value, and risk of the project. Category I contracts are a good choice for projects that are relatively straightforward and have a low level of risk. Category II contracts are a good choice for projects that are more complex and have a higher level of risk.中文回答:土建合同一类二类区别。

epc合同的主要原则和约定英文回答:Key Principles and Conventions of EPC Contracts.EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contracts are comprehensive agreements that govern the relationship between an owner and a contractor for the design, procurement, and construction of a capital project. These contracts are typically used for large and complex projects, such as power plants, oil and gas facilities, and industrial complexes.Key Principles.Mutual Trust and Cooperation: EPC contracts emphasize the importance of mutual trust and cooperation between the owner and contractor. This is essential for ensuring that the project is completed successfully and on time.Risk Allocation: EPC contracts carefully allocate risk between the owner and contractor. This is done through the use of warranties, indemnities, and other contractual provisions.Performance-Based Incentives: EPC contracts often include performance-based incentives that reward the contractor for meeting or exceeding certain performance targets. This helps to ensure that the project is completed to the highest standards.Dispute Resolution: EPC contracts typically include provisions for dispute resolution. This may include arbitration, mediation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution.Key Conventions.Lump Sum Contracts: EPC contracts are typically lump sum contracts, which means that the contractor is paid a fixed price for the entire project. This provides the owner with certainty over the total cost of the project.Design-Build Contracts: EPC contracts are oftendesign-build contracts, which means that the contractor is responsible for both the design and construction of the project. This can streamline the project process and reduce the risk of delays.Procurement: EPC contractors are responsible for procuring all of the materials and equipment necessary for the project. This includes obtaining quotes from suppliers, negotiating contracts, and managing the delivery ofmaterials to the project site.Construction: EPC contractors are responsible for the construction of the project. This includes site preparation, excavation, foundation work, installation of equipment, and finishing work.Commissioning and Startup: EPC contractors are responsible for commissioning and starting up the project. This includes testing and adjusting the equipment, training the owner's personnel, and bringing the project intooperation.中文回答:EPC 合同的主要原则和约定。
Chapterc2 合同Contract第一节建筑合同的种类Types of Construction Contract一、按计价机制分类的合同(Contracts according to Pricing Mechanism) (一)总价合同/ 包干合同/ 总包合同(Lump Sum Contract)承包商同意实施全部指定的工程,以获得一笔预先规定的总款项。
[kən'sent]The contractor consents to execute the entire specified work for a stated total sum.(二)成本补偿合同(Cost Reimbursement Contract)雇主承诺支付承包商主要成本/直接成本,也就是施工中使用到的实际人工费、设备费、材料费。
The client undertakes to pay the contractor the prime cost: that is, the actual cost of labor, plant and materials utilized in the execution of the works.除了直接成本外,承包商还被付有代替开办费和利润的一笔约定款额。
In addition to the prime cost, the contractor is paid an agreed sum to cover establishment charges and profit.(三)单价合同(Unit Price Contract)即使没有给出合同价,但由于双方就适用于该工程的费率达成一致,因此对于成本是有一定控制的。
There is some control over cost because the parties agree on the rates which will apply to the work even though there is no contract sum. (四)计量合同(Measurement Contract)在本合同协定下,工程的单价是可提前预算的,但总价只能到工程完工时估量、估价来确定。
FIDIC《设计-建造与交钥匙工程合同条件》简介FIDIC《设计-建造与交钥匙工程合同条件》简介(1995 年第 1 版)FIDIC“桔皮书”被推荐在国际招标的工程设计和施工项目中使用。
国际上对“设计-建造”(Design-Build)与“交钥匙(Turnkey)尚无公认的定义。
一般是指承包商按照业主的要求,负责设计和实施,可能包括规划设计以与建造工程,对“交钥匙”合同还要求提供一套配备完整的设施,有时还可能提出试运行和运行的要求。
有时可能要求由承包商融资。
这一切要求都应在合同专用条件中具体明确地规定。
我国常提到的“总承包”合同并没有一个确切的定义,但至少“设计-建造”是总承包的一个类型,因而“桔皮书”稍加修改也适用于国内该类型的总承包合同。
FIDIC“桔皮书”适用于总价合同。
FIDIC“桔皮书”第一部分为通用条件,包括 20 节、20 条、160 款, 20 节的内容包括:合同,业主,业主代表,承包商,设计,职员与劳工,工程设备、材料和工艺,开工、延误和暂停,竣工检验,业主的接受,竣工后的检验,缺陷责任,合同价格与支付,变更,承包商的违约,业主的违约,风险和责任,保险,不可抗力,索赔、争端与仲裁。
第二部分为专用条件编制指南,附件中包括履约保函,履约担保书以与预付款保函的范例格式。
之后是投标书,投标书附件和协议书的范例格式。
下面将对通用条件中的 20 个问题进行简要的介绍和分析讨论。
一、合同(一)定义(1.1)“桔皮书”对文件,人员,日期,时间以与期限,检验和竣工,款项与支付,其他定义这六个方面的 45 个专用名词下了定义。
请仔细阅读原文。
“桔皮书”中没有“工程师”这一角色,而是由业主代表来进行合同管理。
(二)文件的提供、保管和版权(1.7-1.12) 1、现场的文件承包商应在现场保存一套完整的合同文件,施工、以与变更等文件,供业主方人员使用。
2、施工文件(1)施工文件应由承包商保存和照管。
并提供 6 份复制件供业主代表与助理使用。

Who is liability for it? The extent of liability: Reasonable skill and care v fitness for purpose How the Employer can control the design?Liability for DesignEMI v IBA (1980) – House of Lords Facts: 1. IBA contracted with EMI for EMI to "supply and erect a television mast" 2. IBA required EMI to enter into a nominated subcontract with BICC to supply and erect the mast 3. The mast was 1250 feet high cylindrical structure with three lanes of stays, each at 120 degrees 4. At that time "no one had designed and built such a cylindrical mast in the UK and no one had built a cylindrical mast of that height anywhere in the World"Liability for DesignEMI v IBA (1980) – House of Lords Facts: 1. The Project involved work which was both at and beyond the frontier of professional knowledge 2. The mast was complete and accepted in 1966 and in 1969, it collapsed 3. A committee of enquiry found that the collapse was caused by the combination of vortex shredding and asymmetrical ice loading 4. IBA sued EMI and BICC, the subcontractorEMI v IBA (1980) –House of LordsDecision: Liability for Design1.EMI defended the claim that they were not responsiblefor the design. This was because the contract did not state that EMI was liable for design and in reality BICC had designed the mast and had dealt with IBA directly 2.The House of Lords held EMI liable for design-supply, delivery, erection and installation includes liability for design-if not, then IBA had no contractual remedy for design defects-EMI could price for riskcf Norta Wallpapers v John Sisk (1978)EMI v IBA (1980) –House of LordsDecision: Scope of Duty1.Court of Appeal decided that design not negligent butEMI were still liable because the obligation was toprovide a mast which was "fit for purpose"2.House of Lords decided that the failure to take intoaccount stress caused by asymmetric ice loading was negligent –therefore no need to decide whether there was a fit for purpose obligationEMI v IBA (1980) –House of LordsDecision: Scope of DutyHowever:"In the absence of a clear, contractual indication to the contrary, I see no reason why one in the course of his business contracts to design, supply and erect atelevision mast is not under an obligation to ensure that it is reasonably fit for the purpose for which he know it is intended to be use."per Lord ScarmanEMI v IBA (1980) –House of LordsDecision: Scope of Duty"In the circumstances it is not necessary to considerwhether EMI had by their contract undertaken to supplya mast reasonably fit for purpose for which they knew itwas intended…but had that been argued, I would myself have been surprised if it had been concluded that they had not done so."per Viscount DilhorneThe FactsViking appointed White to design and build a grain drying and storage installation. White were specialists in that field Water seeped through the floor and into various parts of the installationViking sued White. The court was asked to consider two preliminary issues:-Whether it was to be implied into the contract that materials are to be ofgood quality and reasonably fit for their purpose-Whether it was to be implied into the contract that the completed workswould be reasonably fit for their purposeHH Judge John Davies QC:"If the purpose is known to the seller as to show reliance on his skill and judgment, awarranty of fitness will be implied" ...
