datasheet. 3. Domestic Bidders Preference (ITA 23.1) (a) If the Loan/Credit Agreement allow a margin of preference for domestic contractors, and the Employer wishes to use the preference for the award of contract(s) subject to this prequalification, the PQD (and subsequent Bidding Documents) should include basic information on the preference (eligible countries, reference to the Guidelines Appendix 2 for its application). In particular: A domestic bidder is one that meets the following criteria: (i) for an individual firm: (A) is registered in the country of the borrower; (B) has more than 50 percent ownership by nationals of the country of the Borrower; (C) does not subcontract more than 10 percent of the contract price, excluding provisional sums, to foreign contractors. (ii) for a joint venture (JV) of domestic firms: (A) individual member firms shall satisfy (i) and (ii) above; (B) the JV shall be registered in the country of the Borrower; (C) the JV shall not subcontract more than 10 percent of the contract price, excluding provisional sums, to foreign firms. (b) JVs between foreign and national firms will not be eligible for domestic preference. 4. Subcontractors (ITA 24.1, 24.2 and 24.3) In large, complex Works contracts, the construction strategy of the Employer may provide for the execution of certain specialized parts of the Works by Specialized Subcontractors in accordance with the provisions of the FIDIC General Conditions of Contract. A typical example would be the supply and installation of the ventilation and lighting systems for a tunnel contract. The experience and financial resources of subcontractors proposed by the Applicants, unless permitted by the Employer, will be disregarded for purposes of evaluation of prequalification. The cumulative experience and capacity of an Applicant gained as a former sub-contractor may qualify it as an Applicant for certain works. Applicants may propose subcontracting up to the percentage of the total value of the contract or the volume of works as mentioned in the PDS.
