(T=the weight given to the Technical Proposal: P = the weight given to the Financial Proposal; T + p = I) indicated in the Appendix. The

combined technical and financial score, S, is calculated as follows:- S = St x T % + Sf x P %. The firm achieving the highest combined

technical and financial score will be invited for negotiations. 2.8.6 The tender evaluation committee shall evaluate the tender within

each practising staff member (Engineers) before entering into contract negotiations. The Contract negotiations will only be carried

out with registered firms (as per Section (21) of Engineers Act) and individuals (proof of documents to be provided). In order to ensure

full compliance with this requirements of the Engineers Act, the winning tenderer will be required to confirm their registration before start of pre-Contract negotiations. The pre-Contract

negotiations will be carried out only after confirmation of the registration status by EBK. Costs for registration of the firm and all individual staff members are to be included in the financial

proposal. Costs for the firms are to be treated as miscellaneous costs ; for individuals, the costs are to be included in the respective

“Description of Services” and form part of the Contract. Special attention will be paid to getting the most the firm can offer within the available budget and to clearly defining the inputs required from

the Client to ensure satisfactory implementation of the assignment.

2.9.4 Unless there are exceptional reasons, the financial negotiations will not involve the remuneration rates for staff (no breakdown of fees).

2.9.5 Having selected the firm on the basis of, among other things, an evaluation of proposed key professional staff, the Client expects to negotiate a contract on the basis of the experts named in the

proposal. Before contract negotiations, the Client will require assurances that the experts will be actually available. The Client

will not consider substitutions during contract negotiations unless both parties agree that undue delay in the selection process makes such substitution unavoidable or that such changes are critical to

meet the objectives of the assignment. If this is not the case and if it is established that key staff were offered in the proposal without

confirming their availability, the firm may be disqualified. 2.9.6 The negotiations will conclude with a review of the draft form of the

Contract. To complete negotiations the Client and the selected firm will initial the agreed Contract. If negotiations fail, the Client will invite the firm whose proposal received the second highest score to

negotiate a contract.

power plant boundary and to dispose the separated brine to the reinjection wells.

This section shall constitute supply, installation and testing of the Steam-gathering/transmission system from the wells to the new power stations and

for conveying the condensate for reinjection to the reinjection wells using both hot and cold reinjection. It shall include the following:

(i) Upgrade and rehabilitate the existing Well Pad Power & Instrumentation

by installing AC electrical power (for lighting or auxiliary power usage)

and Instrumentation and control (I&C) system (ii) Rehabilitation of well pad lighting and flow measurement orifices and

Differential Pressure (DP) transmitters and pressure gages and

transmitters (iii) Supply and installation of bi-phase transmission pipelines, the separator

stations, the steam pipelines, manifold and vents system including the interface to the power plant.

(iv) Rehabilitation of well pad columns, pipe supports and shoes (anchors)

(v) Replacement of damaged and vandalized steamfield insulation and cladding

(vi) Supply and installation of a new steam vent station and rock muffler and

installation of flanges on the isolation valves upstream and downstream (vii) Rehabilitation and or replacement of the I&C panels of each of the rock

mufflers (viii) Rehabilitation of the security lighting to rock muffler structures

The units may be rehabilitated one at a time. It is the intention of the employer to maintain part of the steamfield operational so as to supply steam to the other operational unit/s. As the existing steam gathering system will be in operation,

it is assumed that:

• The consultant shall review the EPC Contractor’s overall schedule for the steamfield rehabilitation including the interfaces between the three

activities of (i) steam field rehabilitation (construction activities), (ii) HV substation rehabilitation works, installation, testing and commissioning and (iii) power plant rehabilitation, installation, testing and
