### 2. Pricing and Evaluation Methodology
The tender allows for two distinct pricing mechanisms, which will be defined in the Special Conditions of Contract (SCC). Bidders must pay close attention to which one applies.
– **Evaluation Criterion A: Percentage Bidding**
– The Bidder quotes a **”Premium/Discount”** percentage on the total value of work as per the BOQ.
– If no value is entered, it is assumed the bidder accepts the BOQ rates as-is (0% premium/discount).
– **Evaluation Criterion B: Item Rate Bidding**
– The Bidder quotes **basic rates, inclusive of all charges**, for each item in the Excel BOQ template.
**GST Quotation Rules (for both methods):**
– Bidders must select the applicable GST% from the dropdown in the online BOQ sheet.
– **Critical Rule:** If a GST-registered bidder selects “0” or leaves the GST field blank, their quoted price will be **deemed to be inclusive of all applicable GST**. This can severely erode profit margins if not done correctly.
