UNBALANCED BIDS Sample Clauses
The Unbalanced Bids clause is designed to address situations where a contractor submits a bid with disproportionately high or low prices for certain items compared to their actual cost or value. In practice, this clause allows the project owner to review submitted bids for irregular pricing patterns and, if necessary, request justification or reject the bid if it is deemed unbalanced. Its core function is to prevent manipulation of the bidding process, ensuring fairness and protecting the owner from potential financial risk due to strategic pricing.
UNBALANCED BIDS. The Department will review all unit prices submitted by the apparently lowest responsible bidder and will decide whether any of the unit prices are excessively above or below a reasonable cost analysis value determined by the Engineer. In the event any unit prices are determined to be unbalanced and contrary to the interest of the Department, the right is reserved to reject such bid at the discretion of the Department or to award the Contract and limit progress payments on units of work performed on any excessively priced items to costs that are satisfactorily documented by the Contractor plus 20 percent, until 85 percent of the Contract has been completed. Upon completion of 85 percent of the Contract, the Contractor will be reimbursed in accordance with Subsection 109.08 of the Standard Specifications for the accepted quantities of work performed on the excessively priced items.
UNBALANCED BIDS. In case the L1 Bidder quotes an offer which is lower than 85% of the estimated block cost of Rs.272.65 Crores (unbalance on the lower side) then the Bid shall be considered as an unbalanced Bid. For such unbalanced bids, if the Corporation decides to award the Contract and issues the Letter of Acceptance (LOA) to award such contract, the successful Bidder shall, in addition to completing all necessary formalities as per the relevant provisions of the NIB, ITB, LOA & these bid documents, submit additional security as a ‘security towards unbalanced bid’. Failure to timely comply with this requirement shall be treated as a fundamental breach of the contract and the LOA will be withdrawn & the EMD will be forfeited, without any recourse to any claim. In case the Corporation decides that the unbalanced Bid (lower) is not workable and/or acceptable, then no Letter of Acceptance shall be issued and then the bid shall stand summarily rejected. All communication in respect of such unbalanced bids shall be through the Bid Authority only who shall be intimating the requirements and clarifications desired by the Corporation and all representations, communications and justifications in this respect shall be made to / submitted by the lowest bidder to the Bid Authority only. Any communication from or to any other authority/officer in the Corporations shall not be considered as valid communication at all and shall stand summarily rejected. The Contractor shall pay additional Security of an amount equal to the difference in 85% of the estimated cost put to the Bid and the quoted cost by the successful bidder as a ‘security towards unbalanced bid’ for due fulfillment of the contract, unless otherwise stated in the tender documents.
UNBALANCED BIDS. A Bid shall be mathematically unbalanced if the Bid contains unit pricing that does not reflect reasonable costs (including actual labor and material cost, overhead and profit) for the performance of the bid item(s) in question. A Bid shall be materially unbalanced if there is a reasonable doubt that award of the mathematically unbalanced Bid will result in the lowest ultimate cost to the County. A Bid that is, in the sole discretion of the County Purchasing Agent, both mathematically and materially unbalanced, may be rejected as non-responsive.
