specified in the Evaluation Grids given in Volume 1 Section 5 and/or failing to support/prove correctness of their proposed operating costs shall be rejected. 

For Lot 2 the evaluation of tenders may take into account only the construction costs in line with the technical specifications. 

22.3 Financial evaluation 

Once the technical evaluation has been completed, the evaluation committee checks that the financial offers contain no arithmetical errors. If the tender procedure contains several lots, financial offers are compared for each lot. The financial evaluation will have to identify the best financial offer for each lot, taking due account of any discounts offered, following formula below for Lot-1: 

CP = CAPEX + 10 x (OPEX) 

Where; 

CP = Comparable Price, CAPEX = Capital Cost and 

OPEX = Operating Costs for One Year 

When analysing the tender, the evaluation committee will calculate the final tender price after adjusting it on the basis of Clause 23. 

## 23. CORRECTING ERRORS 

23.1 Possible errors in the financial offer will be corrected by the evaluation committee as follows: 

 where there is a discrepancy between amounts in figures and in words, the amount in words will prevail; 

 except for lump-sum contracts, where there is a discrepancy between a unit price and the total amount derived from the multiplication of the unit price and the quantity, the unit price as quoted will prevail. 

23.2 The amount stated in the tender will be adjusted by the evaluation committee in the event of error, and the tenderer will be bound by that adjusted amount. If the tenderer does not accept the adjustment, its tender will be rejected and its tender security forfeited. 

## CONTRACT AWARD 

## 24. AWARD CRITERIA 

For Lot-1: The most economically advantageous tender is the technically compliant tender with the lowest comparable price.

## 25. NOTIFICATION OF AWARD, CONTRACT CLARIFICATIONS

This notification may take the form of an invitation to clarify certain contractual questions raised therein, to which the tenderer must be prepared to reply. This clarification will be confined to issues that had no direct bearing on the choice of the successful tender. The outcome of such clarification will be set out in a memorandum of clarification, to be signed by both parties and incorporated into the contract.
