4 5 The Bidder shall provide further details of proposed items of equipment using the relevant Form in Section IV (Bidding Forms) -- Note -- In most cases Bidders can readily purchase, lease, or hire equipment; thus, it is usually unnecessary for the assessment of a contractor's qualification to depend on the owning readily available items of equipment. The pass–fail criteria adopted contractor’s should therefore be limited only to those bulky or specialized items that are critical for the type of project to be implemented, and that may be difficult for the contractor to obtain quickly. Examples may include items such as heavy lift cranes and piling barges, dredgers, asphalt mixing plants, etc. Even in such cases, contractors may not own the specialized items of equipment, and may rely on specialist subcontractors or firms. The availability of such subcontractors and of the specified equipment should be subject to verification prior to contract award. The Bidder shall provide updated details for the above by using the relevant forms included in Section IV (Bidding Forms).
