– GIR (Royal Decree of 14.01.2013), in order to facilitate access by foreign operators to

1.1.6 Confidentiality

The tenderer or contractor and BTC are bound to secrecy vis-à-vis third parties with regards

to any confidential information obtained within the framework of this contract and will only

divulge such information to third parties after receiving the prior written consent of the other

party. They will disseminate this confidential information only among appointed parties

involved in the assignment. They guarantee that said appointed parties will be adequately

informed of their obligations in respect of the confidential nature of the information and that

they shall comply therewith.

1.1.7 Deontological obligations

Any failure to comply with one or more of the deontological clauses may lead to the

exclusion of the candidate, the tenderer or the contractor from other public contracts

concluded with BTC.

For the duration of the contract, the contractor and his staff respect human rights and

undertake not to go against political, cultural or religious customs of the beneficiary country.

The tenderer or contractor is bound to respect fundamental labour standards, which are

internationally agreed upon by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), namely the

conventions on union freedom and collective bargaining, on the elimination of forced and

obligatory labour, on the elimination of employment and professional discrimination and on

the abolition of child labour.

Any attempt of a candidate or a tenderer to obtain confidential information, to proceed to

illicit arrangements with competitors or to influence the evaluation committee or the

contracting authority during the investigation, the clarification, evaluation or tenders and

applicants comparison procedures will lead to the rejection of the application or the tender.

Moreover, in order to avoid any impression of risk of partiality or connivance in the follow-

up and control of the performance of the contract, it is strictly forbidden to the contractor to

offer, directly or indirectly, gifts, meals or any other material or immaterial advantage, of

whatever value, to the employees of the contracting authority who are concerned, directly

or indirectly, by the follow-up and/or control of the performance of the contract, regardless

of their hierarchical rank.

Any tender will be rejected and any (public) contract will be cancelled once it appears that

the contract awarding or its performance induced the transfer of ‘extraordinary commercial

expenditure’. Extraordinary commercial expenditure is any commission that is not

mentioned in the main contract or that does not result from a contract in good and due form

referring to that contract, any commission that is paid for no actual legal service, any

commission transferred into a fiscal paradise, any commission transferred to a beneficiary

that is not clearly identified or to a company that obviously merely serves as a façade.

The contractor of the public contract commits to supply, upon the demand of the contracting

authority, any supporting documents related to the performance conditions of the contract.

The contracting authority will be allowed to proceed to any control, on paperwork or on site,

which it considers necessary to collect evidence to support the presumption of unusual

commercial expenditure. Depending on the gravity of the facts observed, the contractor


8

having paid unusual commercial expenditure is liable to have its contract cancelled or to

be permanently excluded from receiving funds.

1.1.8 Applicable law and competent court

The public contract must be performed and interpreted according to Belgian law.

The parties commit to sincerely perform their engagements to ensure the good

performance of this contract.

In case of litigation or divergence of opinion between the contracting authority and the

contractor, the parties will consult each other to find a solution.

If agreement is lacking, the Brussels courts are the only courts competent to resolve the

matter.

Specifications.

The lots are:

Lot 1: Equipment for the sorting centre of the wilaya of MASCARA Lot 2: Equipment for the sorting centre of the wilaya of MOSTAGANEM Lot 3: Equipment for the sorting centre of the wilaya of SIDI BEL ABBES

When tendering for several lots, the tenderer cannot offer discounts or better conditions

in his tender in case several lots were to be awarded to him.

The tenderers are encouraged to submit for the 3 lots.

1.2.4 Items

Each lot of this contract consists of several items. For each lot, these items are indivisible.

For each lot, the items are the following:

The tenderer can submit tender for 1 or more lots. For each lot for which he tenders, the

tenderer tenders for all items of the lot. Omission of an item leads to substantial irregularity

of the tender.

1.2.5 Length of the public contract

For each of the lots, the contract starts upon award notification and expires after 1 year.


11

1.2.6 Variants

For each of the lots, each tenderer may submit only one tender. Variants are forbidden.

1.2.7 Obligatory option

For lot 3, the tenderer is required (obligatory option) under penalty of substantial irregularity

of his tender, to submit prices for the obligatory option (item 5 of lot 3), which consist in the

supply of a complementary 100 mm granulometric separation system (double sieving).

The tenderer shall comply with the technical specifications described under point 2.6 of

these Tender Specifications given for item 5 of lot 3 (second granulometric separation at

Sidi Bel Abbes).

Failure to comply with the minimum requirements of the obligatory option leads to

substantial irregularity of both the option and the basic tender.

For the calculation of the award criterion pertaining to the price, the cost of this option will

be taken into account.

1.2.8 Quantities

Quantities will be determined in order forms. The presumed quantities below per lot are

estimates. This means that the contracting authority can order more or fewer than

indicated. The unit prices quoted by the supplier remain unchanged regardless of the

quantities ordered and no compensation may be claimed.

and operationalisation of sorting centres of similar capacity (minimum

100 tons per day) in the past 3 years in Algeria, the European Union

or elsewhere. For each installation presented, the following must be

provided:

The name of the client (and the name of the person of reference with the client whom we can contact if needed)

Certificate of good performance signed by the client

The value of the installation

A detailed description of the installation delivered as well as of


17

the construction and implementation

- The tenderer must submit the detailed CVs of the head of the team and

of the engineers/ technicians responsible for outfitting the facility and

for training the operator, with a minimum for each of 2 sorting chain

installation experiences over the past 3 years.

- The tenderer must submit certification of occupational insurance

covering all risks, which comprises civil liability, transportation and any

other element pertaining to the transportation, installation and

operationalising of the equipment. This insurance must cover at least

the total value of the lot for which the tenderer submits tender.

Only tenders from tenderers who meet the selection criteria are taken into consideration in order to participate in the comparison of tenders on the basis of the award criteria set out below, subject to the regularity of these tenders.

1.3.6.3 Modalities relating to tender examination and regularity of the tenders

Before starting the evaluation and comparison of the tenders, the contracting authority examines their regularity. The tenders must be drawn up in such a way that the contracting authority can make a selection without starting negotiations with the tenderer. For this reason, and in order to be able to assess the tenders fairly, it is essential that the tenders be completely in conformity with the provisions of the Tender Specifications. The substantially irregular tenders are excluded. A substantial irregularity is such as to give a discriminatory advantage to the tenderer, to distort competition, to prevent the evaluation of the tenderer's offer or its comparison with the other tenders, or to render non-existent, incomplete or uncertain the commitment of the tenderer to perform the contract under the conditions laid down. The following irregularities are deemed substantial: 1° failure to comply with environmental, social or labour law, provided that such non-compliance is punishable by law;

2° failure to comply with the requirements of Articles 38, 42, 43, § 1, 44, 48, § 2,

section 1, 54, § 2, 55, 83 and 92 of the Royal Decree of 18 April 2017 and Article 14 of the Law, insofar as they contain obligations towards tenderers; 3° failure to comply with the minimum requirements and the requirements that are indicated as substantial in the contract documents; 4° tenders that do not have an original handwritten signature on the tender form. The contracting authority will also declare void any tender that is affected by several non-substantial irregularities which, by reason of their accumulation or combination, are capable of having the same effect as described above (in accordance with Article 76 of the Royal Decree of 18 April 2017).

1.3.6.4 Award criteria

For each lot, the contracting authority selects among admissible tenders the tender that it

finds to be most advantageous from an economical viewpoint, taking account of the

following criteria:

Maximum points

Criterion 1 Prices 100

Criterion 2 Performance 50

Criterion 3 Technique 50

Total 200

Criterion 1: Award on the basis of the price criterion (100 points):

The tenderer will quote unit prices for all items of each lot for which he submits tender, as

indicated in the table below:

Lots Quantities Unit prices to be

quoted by the tenderer

Per lot, the unit prices submitted for each item will be added up. Said amount will scored the following way:

Cx= P x (Mmin / Mx) where, Cx= the score obtained by tenderer x for this criterion P= the available points for this criterion Mmin= the price of the lowest offering tenderer Mx= the price of the tenderer whose score is being calculated

The following documents must be submitted for the evaluation of the price:

- The correctly completed and signed tender form;

- In attachment to the form, the details of the price quoted.

Criterion 2: Award on the basis of the performance criterion (50 points)

The performance of the equipment will be assessed as follows:

Performance sub-criteria Threshold Status Parameters guaranteed by the tenderer

Maximum score

Bag-opening ≥ 90% Required 10

Granulometric separation for standard diameter

≥ 85 % Required 15

Possibility to adjust diameter +/-10 mm autour du diamètre standard

Would be an asset

5

Separation of ferrous metals ≥ 95% Required 5


20

Adjustable speed of sorting belt Between 0.1 and 1 m/s

Would be an asset

5

Overall installed electrical power None To be indicated by the tenderer

5

Operational availability ≥85% Required 5

Maximum total 50

Note: - The "required" status of a threshold implies that the tenderer must propose at least equal performance to the one specified in the table, under penalty of substantial irregularity of his tender. Points are awarded for performance in excess of this threshold. Above the threshold, scoring is through simple application of the rule of 3. The tenderer offering the highest performance will be given the maximum score for the sub-criterion concerned. - The “Would be an asset” threshold is given as an indication by the tenderer, and performance below this threshold does not exclude the tenderer. Points are awarded for performance in excess of the threshold indicated: The tenderer who does not reach the targeted threshold obtains a score of 0 for the sub-criterion concerned. Above the threshold, scoring is through simple application of the rule of 3. The tenderer offering the highest performance will be given the maximum score for the sub-criterion concerned.

Criterion 3: Award on the basis of the technical criterion (50 points)

The technical quality of the tender will be evaluated as follows:

Technical evaluation sub-criteria Elements to be given for evaluation

Maximum score

For each item, explanation of the choice of the components of the sorting chain (taking into account the nature of waste and the local exploitation conditions)

Technical note of maximum 2 pages per item

Maximum total: 50

Note, for the guaranteed performance period, the tender of any tenderer tendering beyond 8 months is blemished by a substantial irregularity and will consequently be excluded. Points are awarded for deadlines offered below 8 months. Below the threshold, scoring is through simple application of the rule of 3. The tenderer offering the shortest deadline will be given the maximum score for the sub-criterion concerned. For the guarantee period, the tender of any tenderer offering a term below 1 year is blemished by a substantial irregularity and will be excluded. Points are awarded for deadlines offered in excess of 1 year. Above the threshold, scoring is through simple application of the rule of 3. The tenderer offering the longest guarantee period will be given the maximum score for the sub-criterion.

Final score

The scores for the award criteria will be added up. The contract will be awarded to the

tenderer with the highest final score, after the contracting authority has verified, for this

tenderer, the exactitude of the information given in the ESDP and provided the control

showed that the ESDP corresponds with reality.


22

1.3.6.5 Awarding the public contract

Each lot of the contract will be awarded to the tenderer who has submitted the most economically interesting regular tender for the lot in question.

Notice though that in accordance with Art. 85 of the Law of 17 June 2016, there is no obligation for the contracting authority to award the public contract.

The contracting authority can either decide not to award the contract, either redo the procedure, if necessary through another award procedure.

The contracting authority also reserves the right to award only certain lots and to decide that the other lots will be the subject of one or more new contracts, if necessary according to another award procedure in accordance with Article 58 §1, third paragraph.

1.3.7 Concluding the contract

In accordance with Art. 88 of the Royal Decree of 18 April 2017, the public contract occurs through the notification to the selected tenderer of the approval of his tender.

Notification is via electronic platforms, e-mail or fax and, on the same day, by registered post.

So, the full contract agreement consists of a public contract awarded by BTC to the chosen tenderer in accordance with:

These Tender Specifications and its annexes;

The approved tender and all of its annexes;

The registered letter of notification of the award decision;

If applicable, any later documents that are accepted and signed by both parties.


23

1.4 Specific contractual and administrative conditions

This chapter of these Tender Specifications holds the specific provisions that apply to this public contract as a derogation of the 'General Implementing Rules for public contracts and for public works concessions’ of the Royal Decree of 14 January 2013, hereinafter referred to as 'GIR', or as a complement or an elaboration thereof. The numbering of the articles below (in parenthesis) follows the numbering of the GIR articles. Unless indicated, the relevant provisions of the General Implementing Rules (GIR) apply in full.

These Tender Specifications derogate from Article 26 of the General Implementing Rules – GIR (Royal Decree of 14.01.2013), in order to facilitate access by foreign operators to the public contract.

Also Article 123 of the General Implementing Rules is derogated from, since the delivery period is an award criterion.

1.4.1 Definitions (Art. 2)

The following definitions apply to this contract:

- The managing official: The official or any other person who manages and controls the

performance of the contract;

- Performance bond: Financial collateral given by the contractor for its obligations until

final and good performance of the public contract;

- Acceptance: Observation by the contracting authority that the performance by the

contractor of all or part of the works, supplies or services is in compliance with

good practice and with the terms and conditions of the contract;

- Progress payment: Payment of an instalment under the contract after service delivery

is accepted;

- Advance: Payment of part of the contract before service delivery is accepted;

- Amendment: Agreement established between the contracting parties during

contract performance in view of changing documents applicable to the contract;

1.4.2 Correspondence with the supplier (Art. 10)

Any notifications from the contracting authority will be sent to the domicile or registered office address mentioned in the tender, unless the Tender Specifications require the supplier, after conclusion of the contract, to elect domicile elsewhere.

1.4.3 Managing official (Art. 11)

The management and control of contract performance are entrusted to Mr Pierre-Yves Raulin, assistant project manager, assisted by Mr Brahim Youcef < National Technical Assistant Infrastructure and Equipment.

Once the contract is concluded the managing official is the main contact point for the supplier. Any correspondence or any questions with regards to the performance of the


24

contract will be addressed to him/her, unless explicitly mentioned otherwise in these Tender Specifications.

The managing official is fully competent for the follow-up of the satisfactory performance of the contract, including issuing service orders, drawing up reports and states of affairs, approving the supplies, progress reports and reviews. He or she may order any modifications to the contract with regards to its object and that remain in its scope.

However, the signing of amendments or any other decision or agreement implying derogation from the essential terms and conditions of the contract are not part of the competence of the managing official. For such decisions the contracting authority is

represented as stipulated under point ‘The contracting authority’.

Under no circumstances is the managing official allowed to modify the terms and conditions (e.g., performance deadline, etc.) of the contract, even if the financial impact is nil or negative. Any commitment, change or agreement that deviates from the conditions in the Tender Specifications and that has not been notified by the contracting authority, will be considered null and void.

1.4.4 Subcontractors (Art. 12 to 15)

The fact that the contractor entrusts all or part of its commitments to subcontractors does

not relieve it of its liability to the contracting authority. The latter does not recognise any

contractual relation with third parties.

The contractor remains, in any case, solely liable to the contracting authority.

The contractor may not subcontract the contract or a part of the contract to other

subcontractors than those presented at the time of submission; subcontracting to

subcontractors presented in the tender is allowed only after preliminary approval by the

contracting authority of these subcontractors.

1.4.5 Confidentiality (Art. 18)

The supplier and his employees are bound by a duty of reserve concerning the information

which comes to their knowledge during performance of this contract. This information

cannot under any circumstances be communicated to third parties without the written

consent of the contracting authority. The supplier may, nevertheless, list this contract as a

reference, provided that it indicates its status correctly (e.g. ‘in performance’) and that the

contracting authority has not withdrawn this consent due to poor contract performance.

1.4.6 Intellectual property (Art. 19 to 23)

The contracting authority acquires the intellectual property rights created, developed or

used during performance of the contract.

1.4.7 Performance bond (Art. 25 to 33)

The performance bond is set at 5% of the total value, excluding VAT, of the contract. The amount thus obtained is rounded up to the nearest 10 euros.


25

In accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions, the performance bond may be constituted either of cash or of public funds or may take the form of a joint performance bond. The performance bond may also take the form of a surety bond issued by a credit institution meeting the requirements of the law on the statute and control of credit institutions, or by an insurance company meeting the requirements of the law on control of insurance companies and approved for branch 15 (bonds). As derogation from Article 26, the performance bond may be posted through an establishment that has its registered office outside Belgium. The contracting authority maintains the right to accept or refuse the posting of the bond through that institution. The tenderer shall mention the name and address of this institution in the tender. This derogation is founded on the idea of providing possible non-Belgian tenderers with an opportunity to submit a tender. This measure is made essential by the specific requirements of the contract. This derogation is founded on the idea of providing possible non-Belgian tenderers with an opportunity to submit a tender. The contractor must, within 30 calendar days from the day of contract conclusion, furnish proof that it or a third party has posted the bond in one of the ways set out below: 1° in the case of cash, by transfer of the amount to the bpost account number of the Deposit

and Consignment Office [BE58 6792 0040 9979 (IBAN), PCHQBEBB (BIC)] or a public institution with a function equivalent to that of said Office, hereafter referred to as a public institution with an equivalent function;

2° in the case of public funds, by depositing such funds, for the account of the Deposit and

Consignment Office, with the State Cashier at the head office of the National Bank in Brussels or at one of its provincial agencies or with a public institution with an equivalent function;

3° in the case of a joint surety, by deposit via a company that lawfully carries out this activity

of a deed of joint surety with the Deposit and Consignment Office or with a public institution with an equivalent function;

4° in the case of a guaranty, by the deed of undertaking of the credit institution or the

insurance company. This proof must be provided as applicable by submission to the contracting authority of: 1° the deposit receipt of the Deposit and Consignment Office or of a public institution with

an equivalent function; or 2° a debit notice issued by the credit institution or the insurance company; or 3° the deposit certificate issued by the State Cashier or public institution with an equivalent

function; or

4° the original copy of the deed of joint surety stamped by the Depot and Consignment Office or by a public institution with an equivalent function; or

5° the original copy of the deed of undertaking issued by the credit institution or the

insurance company granting a guaranty.


26

These documents, signed by the depositor, must state why the performance bond was posted and its precise usage, consisting of concise details on the contract and a reference to the contract documents, as well as the name, first name and full address of the contractor and, where relevant, that of the third party that made the deposit on the contractor’s account, bearing the statement "lender" or "mandatory", as appropriate. The period of 30 calendar days specified above is suspended during the period of closure of the contractor’s business for paid annual holidays and the days off in lieu stipulated by regulation or by a collective binding labour agreement. Proof that the required performance bond has been posted must be sent to the address that will be mentioned in the contract award notification. Request by the contractor for the acceptance procedure to be carried out: 1° For the provisional acceptance: This is equal to a request to release the first half of the

performance bond; 2° For the final acceptance: This is equal to a request to release the second half of the

performance bond, or, in case no provisional acceptance applied, to release the whole of the performance bond.

1.4.8 Conformity of performance (Art. 34)

The supplies must comply in all respects with the contract documents. Even in the absence

of technical specifications in the contract documents, the works, supplies and services must

comply in all aspects with good practice.

1.4.9 Amendments to the public contract (Art. 37 to 38/19)

Replacement of the contractor (Art. 38/3)

Provided that he meets the selection and exclusion criteria set out in this document, a new

contractor can replace the contractor with whom the initial contract was agreed in cases

other than those provided for in Art. 38/3 of the General Implementing Rules (GIR).

The contractor submits his request as quickly as possible by registered post, stating the

reasons for this replacement and providing a detailed inventory of the state of supplies

already delivered, the new contractor's contact details and the documents and certificates

which the contracting authority cannot access free of charge.

The replacement will be recorded in an amendment dated and signed by all three parties.

The initial contractor remains responsible to the contracting authority for the performance

of the remainder of the contract.

Adjusting the prices (Art. 38/7)

For this contract, price reviews are not permitted.

Indemnities following the suspensions ordered by the contracting authority during

performance (Art. 38/12)

The contracting authority reserves the right to suspend the performance of the contract


27

for a given period, mainly when it considers that the contract cannot be performed without

inconvenience at that time.

The performance period is extended by the period of delay caused by this suspension,

provided that the contractual performance period has not expired. If it has expired, the

return of fines for late performance will be agreed.

When services are suspended, based on this clause, the contractor is required to take all

necessary precautions, at his expense, to protect the services already performed and the

materials from potential damage caused by unfavourable weather conditions, theft or other

malicious acts.

The contractor has a right to damages for suspensions ordered by the contracting

authority when:

- the suspension lasts in total longer than one twentieth of the performance time and

at least ten working days or two calendar weeks, depending on whether the

performance time is expressed in working days or calendar days;

- the suspension is not due to unfavourable weather conditions;

- the suspension occurred during the contract performance time.

Within thirty days of their occurrence or the date on which the contractor or the contracting

authority would normally have been aware of this, the contractor reports the facts or

circumstances succinctly to the contracting authority and describes precisely their impact

on the execution and cost of the contract.

Unforeseen circumstances

As a rule, the contractor is not entitled to any modification of the contractual terms due to circumstances of which the contracting authority was unaware. A decision of the Belgian State to suspend cooperation with a partner country is deemed

to be unforeseeable circumstances within the meaning of this article. Should the Belgian

State break off or cease activities which implies therefore the financing of this contract, BTC

will do everything reasonable to agree a maximum compensation figure.

1.4.10 Preliminary technical acceptance (Art. 41–42)

Products may not be used if they have not been accepted by the managing official or his

or her representative.

Technical acceptances will occur at different stages of production:

- Acceptance after delivery and unloading of equipment on the sorting centre sites (first technical acceptance)

Such acceptance will occur in the presence of the contractor. It will include a partial or complete unpacking of the equipment supplied in order to check that it complies with the freight list and the components supplied. Claims after such acceptance by the contractor will not be allowed in case an item on the freight list were missing. In case an item were missing and not included in the freight list, the manufacturer will have to complete the missing item(s) in order to obtain the whole of the equipment. After this acceptance, the contracting authority will remain responsible for any degradation of the equipment received


28

owing to his own shortcomings, and will have to replace any element that is deteriorated during installation owing to his own shortcomings. The contractor will have to ensure the equipment is maintained well during the whole of the installation process, in particular in the presence of the building enterprise. Acceptance after delivery and unloading of equipment in the wilayas comprises at least the following checks:

Verification of any damage sustained during transportation

Verification of accordance of the equipment with the technical specifications and the brochures submitted by the tenderers and the freight lists

Verification and counting of the spare parts guaranteed in the tender

- Acceptance of end-of-installation report (2nd acceptance) The end-of-installation report is scheduled upon completion of the installation of the equipment but before the taking into operation. This end-of-installation report will be drawn up in the presence of the contractor. The bodies, cables, and electrical and mechanical connections will be carefully inspected before the equipment is put into operation. The contractor will ensure that the equipment is in working order, that oil reservoirs are filled, bearings are lubricated… The contractor will express his opinion and comments as to the start of the installation, which is still completely his liability. In case of refusal to operate the system, the contractor will have to remedy any shortcomings. The installation will only be started after the delivery of the end-of-installation report. Establishment of the end-of-installation report at least comprises:

Verification of the physical and electric installation for compliance with the layout plans and installation instructions provided.

Verification by a recognised instance approved by the contracting authority of the whole of the electrical installation including conformity of the equipment and installation meeting the Algerian legal standards.

Verification of good functioning of each unit of the equipment without waste being fed into the system (blank operation). Once the end-of-installation report is delivered, the taking into operation period starts.

Products that at a given stage do not satisfy the technical acceptance tests imposed will be

declared unfit for technical acceptance. Upon the request of the contractor, the contracting

authority in accordance with the contract documents verifies whether the products have

the required qualities or at the very least comply with good practice and satisfy the

conditions of the contract.

Where the contracting authority declares that the product presented is not in the required

condition for examination, the acceptance request by the building contractor will be

considered not having been made. A new request is made when the product is fit for

acceptance.

1.4.11 Performance modalities (Art. 115 et seq.)

1.4.11.1 Deadlines and terms (Art. 116)

Delivery and installation must occur within a period that is to be expressed in calendar days,

which the tenderer will mention in his tender. In no case can this period exceed 8 months

under penalty of substantial irregularity of the tender. This period starts from the day

following the conclusion of the contract. Since the performance period is an award criterion,


29

not including it in the tender will bring about the substantial irregularity of the tender. All

days are indistinguishably included in the period.

The order form is addressed to the supplier either by registered letter, or by fax, or by any

other means through which the date of dispatch can be determined unambiguously.

Any further correspondence pertaining to the order form (and to the delivery) follows the

same rules as those for the dispatch of the order form when a party wants to establish proof

of its intervention.

In the event the acknowledgement of receipt of the order form is received after the period

of two working days, upon written demand and justification of the supplier, the delivery

period may be extended pro rata of the delay of the acknowledgement of receipt of the

order form. When the service that placed the order, upon examination of the written demand

of the supplier, estimates that the demand is founded or partially founded, it will inform the

service provider in writing of which extension of the period is accepted.

When the order form is clearly incorrect or incomplete and implementation of the order

becomes impossible, the supplier immediately notifies the ordering service about this in

writing in order to find a solution to allow for normal implementation of the order. If

necessary, the supplier shall ask for an extended delivery period under the same conditions

as those foreseen in case of late reception of the order form.

In any event, complaints about the order form are not admissible any more if they are not

submitted within 15 calendar days (*) from the day following the date on which the supplier

has received the order form.

1.4.11.2 Quantities to be supplied (Art. 117)

The public contract has no minimum quantities.

The estimates given below are for information purposes only and regard the whole duration

of the contract. The supplier must therefore be able to supply these quantities for the period

that covers the duration of the public contract.

Lots Quantities

During the contract period and in function of evolving needs, the contracting authority can

commit for additional orders. Such commitment will be by registered letter.

1.4.11.3 Place where the supplies must be delivered and formalities (Art. 118)

The supplies are delivered following Incoterm DDP at the following address:

Lot 1: The equipment will be delivered and installed on the site of the El Keurt engineered

landfill in the wilaya of Mascara (UTM coordinates: 232333.00 m E and 3916981.00 m N).


31

Lot 2: The equipment will be delivered and installed on the site of the Sour engineered

landfill in the wilaya of Mostaganem (UTM coordinates: 242292.00 m E and 3986833.00 m

N).

The equipment will be delivered and installed on the site of the Sidi Bel Abbès engineered

landfill (UTM coordinates: 719939.00 m E and 3897982.00 m N).

Locations shown on map in part 2.

1.4.11.4 Packaging (Art. 119)

Packaging will become the property of the contracting authority, without the supplier having

any claim to compensation in this regard.

1.4.11.5 Inspection of the supplies delivered (Art. 120)

The supplier delivers only goods that have no apparent and/or hidden defects and that

correspond strictly to the order (in kind, quantity, quality…) and, if necessary, to the

prescriptions of related documents as well as applicable regulations, in compliance with

good practice, the state of the art, the highest standards of usage, of reliability and of

longevity, and for the purposes that the contracting authority has in mind, which the supplier

knows or at least should know.

Acceptance at the various stages only takes place after the complete inspection by the

contracting authority of the conformity of the goods and services delivered. The contracting

authority disposes of a period for verification of thirty days starting on the date of delivery,

concerning the on-site delivery of the equipment. This period will begin on the day after

arrival of the supplies at the place of delivery, provided that the contracting authority is in

possession of the delivery note or invoice.

The signature of (a staff member of) the contracting authority, in particular in electronic

reception devices, upon delivery of the materials, does consequently only count as

evidence of taking possession and does not concern the acceptance of the materials.

Acceptance following the on-site taking into operation period counts as complete

provisional acceptance.

Acceptance implies the transfer of ownership and of risks of damage and loss.

In case of full or partial refusal of a delivery, the supplier is bound to take back, at his own

costs and risks, the products refused. The contracting authority may ask the supplier to

deliver goods that comply as soon as possible, either cancel the order and get supplied by

another supplier.

1.4.12 Liability of the supplier (Art. 122)

The supplier shall be liable for his supplies up to the time when the inspection and

notification formalities referred to under Article 120 are carried out, unless losses or

damage sustained in the warehouses of the consignee are due to the events or

circumstances referred to in Articles 54 and 56.

Moreover, the supplier indemnifies the contracting authority against damages for which it


32

is liable towards third parties due to late performance of the contract or due to failure of the

supplier.

1.4.13 Means of action of the contracting authority (Art. 44-51 and 123-126)

The supplier's default is not solely related to the supplies as such but also to the whole of

the supplier's obligations.

In order to avoid any impression of risk of partiality or connivance in the follow-up and

control of the performance of the contract, it is strictly forbidden to the supplier to offer,

directly or indirectly, gifts, meals or any other material or immaterial advantage, of whatever

value, to the employees of the contracting authority who are concerned, directly or

indirectly, by the follow-up and/or control of the performance of the contract, regardless of

their hierarchical rank.

In case of violation, the contracting authority may impose a lump-sum fine to the supplier

for each violation, which can be to up to three times the amount obtained by adding up the

(estimated) values of the advantage offered to the employee and of the advantage that the

contractor hoped to obtain by offering the advantage to the employee. The contracting

authority will decide independently about the application and the amount of this fine.

In case of violation, the contracting authority may impose a lump-sum fine to the contractor

for each violation, which can be to up to three times the amount obtained by adding up the

(estimated) values of the advantage offered to the employee and of the advantage that the

contractor hoped to obtain by offering the advantage to the employee. The contracting

authority will decide independently about the application and the amount of this fine.

This clause is without prejudice to the possible application of other measures as of right

provided in the GIR, namely the unilateral termination of the contract and /or the exclusion

of contracts of the contracting authority for a determined duration.

1.4.13.1 Failure of performance (Art. 44)

§1 The contractor is considered to be in failure of performance under the contract:

1° when the delivery is not carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in the

contract documents;

2° at any time, when the delivery has not progressed in such a way that it can be fully

completed on the due dates;

3° when he does not observe written orders, which are given in due from by the contracting

authority.

§2 Any failure to comply with the provisions of the contract, including the non-observance

of orders of the contracting authority, is recorded in a report (‘process verbal’), a copy of

which will be sent immediately to the contractor by registered mail.

The contractor must repair the defects without any delay. He may assert his right of defence

by registered letter addressed to the contracting authority within fifteen days from the date

of dispatch of the report (process verbal). Silence on his part after this period shall be


33

deemed as acknowledgement of the reported facts.

§3 Any defects detected that can be attributed to the contractor render him liable to one or

more of the measures provided for in Articles 45 to 49, 123 to 126.

1.4.13.2 Fines for delay

The fines for delay differ from the penalties referred to in Article 45. They are due, without

the need for notice, by the mere lapse of the performance term without the issuing of a

report and they are automatically applied for the total number of days of delay.

Considering the fact that the delivery term guaranteed by the tenderer is an evaluation

criterion, the lateness fine is set at 500 euro per day of delay.

Without prejudice to the application of fines for delay, the contractor continues to guarantee

the contracting authority against any damages for which it may be liable to third parties due

to late performance of the contract.

1.4.13.3 Measures as of right (Art. 47 and 124)

§1 When, upon expiry of the period mentioned in Article 44, §2, the contractor has not taken

action or has presented means deemed unjustified by the contracting authority, the

contracting authority may apply the measures as of right described in paragraph 2.

However, the contracting authority may apply measures as of right without waiting for the

expiry of the deadline given in Article 44, §2, when the contractor has explicitly recognised

the defects found.

§ 2 The measures as of right are:

1° Unilateral termination of the contract. In this case the entire performance bond, or if no

bond has been posted an equivalent amount, is acquired as of right by the contracting

authority as lump sum damages. This measure excludes the application of any fine for

delay in performance in respect of the terminated part of the contract;

2° Performance under donor-country management of all or part of the non-performed

contract;

3° Conclusion of one or more replacement contracts with one or more third parties for all

or part of the contract remaining to be performed.

The measures referred to in 1°, 2° and 3° will be taken at the expense and risk of the

defaulting contractor. However, any fines or penalties imposed during the performance of

a replacement contract will be borne by the new contractor.

1.4.14 End of the public contract

1.4.14.1 Acceptance of the products delivered (Art. 64-65 and 128)

The managing official will closely follow up the delivery.


34

Provisional acceptance

Upon expiry of the thirty-day period specified in Article 120, § 2, a provisional acceptance

report or acceptance refusal report will be drawn up.

Provisional acceptance occurs fully on the site after the taking into operation and after the

performance tests are completed and fulfil the criteria laid down in these Tender

Specifications. To check and test the supplies and notify its acceptance decision or refusal

the contracting authority must be able to observe the continuous exploitation of the sorting

chain over a period of two weeks without breakdowns and under normal exploitation

conditions.

Taking into operation starts the day after the technical acceptance of the end-of-installation report. During the taking into operation period any breakdowns will be logged in order to verify any recurrent issues in view of finding the origin thereof. The taking into operation period lasts 2 months. It is extended automatically as long at operations are not continuously guaranteed due to shortcomings originating with the contractor, without a breakdown over a two-week period at least and under normal exploitation conditions. Provisional acceptance at least comprises:

Analysis of interruption, breakdown and system dysfunction reports

Verification of good functioning of each piece of equipment in operational mode and of the guaranteed parameters for each piece of equipment (with waste being fed into the system)

Verification of good functioning of the sorting centre (operating with waste being fed into the system)

Verification of guaranteed performance parameters of the chain, in particular the hourly flow, electricity consumption and operational availability

Products that at a given stage do not satisfy the technical acceptance tests imposed will be

declared unfit for technical acceptance. Upon the request of the contractor, the contracting

authority in accordance with the contract documents verifies whether the products have

the required qualities or at the very least comply with good practice and satisfy the

conditions of the contract.

Where the contracting authority declares that the product presented is not in the required

condition for examination, the acceptance request by the building contractor will be

considered not having been made.

1.4.14.2 Transfer of ownership (Art. 132)

The contracting authority shall automatically become the owner of the supplies as soon as

they have been accepted for payment pursuant to Article 127 of GIR.

1.4.14.3 Guarantee period (Art. 134)

The guarantee period commences on the date on which provisional acceptance is given

(i.e. the end of the taking into operation period). This is obligatorily stipulated in the tender

by the tenderer to the extent it concerns a sub-criterion evaluated for the award. It lasts at

least 1 year under penalty of exclusion of the tender.


35

1.4.14.4 Final acceptance (Art. 135)

Final acceptance is granted upon expiry of the guarantee period. It is implicit when the

delivery has not led to any claims during said period.

If delivery has led to complaints during the guarantee period, a final acceptance or refusal

of acceptance report will be issued within 15 days prior to the expiry of said period.

1.4.14.5 Acceptance costs

All acceptance costs are borne by the contractor.

When drawing up his tender, the tenderer shall take into account the costs related to the

various acceptance stages:

1.4.15 Invoicing and payment of services (Art. 66 to 72 – 127)

The contractor sends (one copy only of) the invoices and the contract acceptance reports (original copy) to the following address:

Coopération Technique Belge – Projet AGID

A l’attention de Madame Harassi, Gestionnaire marchés publics

c/o Inspection régionale de l’environnement

Route nationale 11, Usto, Bir El Djir,

31000 Oran

The invoices must comprise the following elements:

- The public contract number

- The title of the public contract

- The title of the executed phase

- The name of the managing official

Only supplies and services that have been performed correctly may be invoiced.

The contracting authority disposes of a period for verification of thirty days starting on the end date for the delivery, set in conformity with the modalities in the contract documents, to carry out the technical, provisional and final acceptance formalities and to notify the result to the supplier.

The amount owed to the supplier must be paid within thirty days with effect from the expiry of the verification period or with effect from the day after the last day of the verification period, if this is less than thirty days. And provided that the contracting authority possesses, at the same time, the duly established invoice and the following documents:

For the 1st payment instalment: Delivery and unloading of equipment report (‘PV’) (including verification of accordance of the equipment with the technical specifications and the brochures submitted by the tenderers and the freight lists, and verification and counting of the spare parts guaranteed in the tender)


36

For the 2nd payment instalment: End-of-installation report (‘PV’) (including verification of the physical and electric installation for compliance with the layout plans and installation instructions provided); Certification by a recognised instance approved by the contracting authority of the whole of the electrical installation including conformity of the equipment and installation meeting the Algerian legal standards; Report of good functioning of each piece of equipment without waste being fed into the system (blank operation).

For the last payment instalment: Provisional acceptance report, including: - Analysis of interruption, breakdown and system dysfunction reports - Report (‘PV’) certifying verification of good functioning of each piece of

equipment in operational mode and of the guaranteed parameters for each piece of equipment (with waste being fed into the system)

- Report (‘PV’) certifying verification of good functioning of the sorting centre (operating with waste being fed into the system)

- Report (‘PV’) certifying verification of guaranteed performance parameters of the chain, in particular the hourly flow, electricity consumption and operational availability

When the contract documents do not provide for any separate debt claim, the invoice will constitute the debt claim.

The invoice must be in EUROS. For Algerian contractors, the invoice will be in DZD. The applicable exchange rate will be the exchange rate of the National Bank of Algeria on the day of payment of the invoice.

In order for BTC to obtain the VAT exemption and customs clearance documents as quickly as possible, the original invoice and all ad hoc documents will be transmitted as soon as possible before provisional acceptance.

No advance may be asked by the contractor and the payment will be made in instalments after acceptance stages of each order placed.

Payment will be by instalment, as follows:

50% after reception of the first technical acceptance: acceptance of equipment on the sorting centre sites 20% after reception of the second technical acceptance: with the end-of-installation report 30% upon provisional acceptance after taking into operation and the completion of the performance tests

1.4.16 Litigation (Art. 73)

The competent courts of Brussels have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from the performance of this contract. French or Dutch are the languages of proceedings.

The contracting authority will in no case be held liable for any damage caused to persons or property as a direct or indirect consequence of the activities required for the performance


37

of this contract. The contractor indemnifies the contracting authority against any claims for compensation by third parties in this respect.

2.1.3 Nature and quantity of waste to be sorted

The capacity of the sorting centres will be 17 tonnes/hour minimum. In the start-up phase, the sorting centre is scheduled to operate in a 6-hour daily shift but a progressive increase of daily operational exploitation of the installations is planned. Selective sorting is already introduced in the pilot areas at Mascara and an extension to the whole city of Mascara is progressively planned. For the wilayas of Mostaganem and Sidi Bel Abbès dry/humid source sorting is not operational yet but the development of source sorting similar to the one in Mascara is being developed.

However, for the first years of exploitation of the sorting centres, most likely waste will be delivered as a dry/humid mix (gross domestic and similar waste);

The quality of dry waste fractions will increase step by step with the improvement of source sorting performance. The volumes delivered to the sorting centres should consequently not increase, but the composition of waste will change with improved source sorting. Ideally, ±100 t/days of 100% non-biodegradable waste will be delivered once the population will fully master the source sorting approach.

2.1.4 General flowsheets

Considering that the composition of waste differs by wilaya, the design of the three sorting centres differs slightly between the three wilayas. The local topography of the chosen land also imposes different configurations for the sorting centres. The layout plans for the three sorting centres are given as an indication in Annexe No 1. Also the general flowsheets are given as an indication; they show the flow of the waste to be sorted between the different entities for each of the sorting centres in the diagrams below.

of wear and tear The equipment used is standard equipment but its configuration can vary between sorting centres in accordance with the layout plans of the installations provided indicatively in Annexe No1. The layout plans are shared between the equipment outfitters and sorting centre construction companies. It is expressly agreed that the layout plans must respected to the extent that the equipment such as hopper pits, cable sheats must be respected by the equipment outfitters as well as by the construction company. The layout plans are available in digital form (dwg) in attachment (Annexe) to these Tender Specifications. The tenderer shall verify whether the dimensions of the equipment supplied are compatible with the installations following the layout plan (see Annexe No1). A different approach to the one demanded in the layout plan may be proposed provided it is compatible with the infrastructure and meets the performance criteria assessed and the specific technical provisions of the equipment described below.

2.5.2 Opening of the bags and loading of the sorting belt

The waste collection trucks drop their loads on the storage site. After bulky waste and recyclable materials have been manually removed, the waste is transferred to a bag opener, which will unload the waste in a feeder (Sidi Bel Abbès) or into a loading hopper (Mascara and Mostaganem). The feeding of the bag opener as well as the transfer method to the granulometric separation equipment are part of this item and must take into account the topography of the of the respective (see layout plans). The tenderer may also provide in this lot sorting posts between the bag opener and the granulometric separation system in order to limit, if necessary, bag opening failure and extract certain types of waste which might damage the performance of granulometric separation. The bag opener may by vertical, horizontal or incorporated in a conveyor/feeder. For easier maintenance, flow by gravity is preferred (under the given respective topographical conditions); the number of conveyors and transfer operations must be reduced to a minimum. For the bag opener as such, the tenderer shall indicate a guaranteed bag opening rate, which at least is 90%, and describe the bag content protection measures. A description is required of how the flow of waste is adjusted as well as which measures are taken against congestion and jamming by hard and bulky materials. The tenderer shall describe all components of the feeding and transfer system to the granulometric separation equipment, in particular taking into account: - access for repairs - evacuation of leachate (for a pit feeder) - resistance of materials against chemical and mechanical abrasion - occupational security measures - ease of maintenance and cleaning, protection against dirtying - wearing components With a pit feeder, the tenderer must take into account that feeding by direct unloading of the waste by tipper trucks might impact on the continuous feeding of the chain.


53

2.5.3 Electromagnet:

An electromagnet will be installed at a suitable place between the bag opener and the sorting area. The tenderer shall justify the type of electromagnet and the place of installation. The capacity of the electromagnet will be chosen in function of the quantity of metal waste to be sorted. The minimum required performance of the electromagnet is 95% of the flow. The tenderer shall describe each component of the electromagnet and of the auxiliary equipment, taking into account: - access for repairs - the weight to be lifted and the distance on the sorting belt/ conveyor at the chosen location - the evacuation method of separated ferrous materials - resistance of materials against chemical and mechanical abrasion - occupational security measures - ease of maintenance and cleaning, protection against dirtying - wearing components supplied

2.5.4 Granulometric sorting

The characterisation of waste indicates the standard diameter ensuring maximum performance of granulometric sorting. The suppliers may however supply equipment with standard diameters that slightly vary around this optimum.

Wilaya Optimal standard separation diameter

Diameter range within which the suppliers may propose a separation diameter

Mostaganem 80 mm between 78 and 82 mm

Mascara 70 mm between 68 and 72 mm

Sidi Bel Abbès 60 mm between 78 and 82 mm

Table 10: Standard granulometric separation targeted by wilaya

For all lots, a sorting performance ≥ 85% for the standard diameter is required, taking into account the quality of the (mixed) waste to be treated initially. Yet, granulometry is likely to change with the evolution of sorting and changes in consumption. That is why it is desired that the separation parameters can be adjusted within a range of more or less 10 mm around the standard diameter proposed by the supplier. Thus, for all lots, the suppliers will also report on the possibility of adjusting the standard separation diameter proposed with the targeted flexibility of more or less 10 mm. According to the chosen technology the supplier will propose either two interchangeable diameters (for a drum or equivalent) or a flexible range (for a disk screen or equivalent). In Mascara and Mostaganem, the aim is to separate the gross fraction (> 70 - 90 mm at Mostaganem ; 60 – 80 mm at Mascara), which primarily contains non-biodegradable matter, from the medium fraction (< 70 – 90 mm respectively < 60 – 80 mm), which primarily contains biodegradable matter. At Sidi Bel Abbès, the gross fraction (>50-70 mm) must be separated from the fine fraction, which can be composted. A second sieving is planned at 100mm as an option, as specified


54

under point 2.5.

At the beginning, source sorting will be incomplete and of very poor performance. So, it is expected that the composition of waste entering the system corresponds to the

composition of waste given in section au-dessus. Over time, the proportion of organic waste will decrease and the share of dry (non-biodegradable) waste will increase. The hoppers, conveyors and other devices transferring gross fraction to the sorting belt and fine and medium fraction to collection boxes (not under this public contract, being provided by the operator) will be an integral part of this item. These devices will be proposed in function of the layout plans. For easier maintenance, flow by gravity is preferred; the number of conveyors and transfer operations should be reduced to a minimum. The supplier shall include the necessary descriptions on the functioning, performance and the parts of these auxiliaries. The tenderer shall describe each component of the granulometric sorting and sorted fraction removal equipment, taking into account: - access for repairs - protection against shredded waste (for equipment with moving parts that is in contact with waste) - resistance of materials against chemical and mechanical abrasion - occupational security measures - ease of maintenance and cleaning, protection against dirtying and congestion and jamming - wearing components

2.5.5 Sorting belt

Each sorting centre will have 2 sorting belts, each approximatively 17 meters of useful length for 12 or 13 working posts on each side (or a total of 48 - 52 posts) The total length of the belts is to be established on the basis of the layout plans of the installations. It concerns a two-level sorting centre; sorted fractions will be moved through vertical chimneys (see layout plan). the sorting belt will carry the refused waste outside the sorting hangar, where it will fall in lower-placed boxes (not within scope of this public contract). The tenderer shall provide detailed information about the sorting belt and the evacuation structures of sorted fractions. The sorting belt must fulfil the following requirements, which must be addressed in writing: - The material must resist chemical and mechanical abrasion and be easily repaired in case it is torn. - Standard speed is 0.3 m/s and it must be adjustable - The belt includes a tension adjustment system to span the belt and compensate for the extension of the belt over time - resistance of other materials used against chemical and mechanical abrasion - protection of moving parts against congestion and jamming - access for repairs - occupational security measures - ease of maintenance and cleaning, protection against dirtying and congestion and jamming - wearing components The speed of the two belts must be separately adjustable and either belt can be stopped


55

at any time without stopping the other one. The waste flow must be steered to either of the belts or to both at the same time. There are protection panels are either side of the belts; these stop waste from falling off the belt and they protect workers against moving parts and prevent any concomitant injuries. The rims of the belt will be hidden by the protection panels. It is important that the support and transmission rollers be easily accessible for cleaning or unblocking them or for repairs. The height of the belt’s is set for standing workers (target: 0,85 m). The length of each post is 1.20 to 1.50m, including the operating range and the vertical drop area for sorted waste. Recyclable goods are thrown into chimneys next to each of the sorting posts. On the ground floor, compartments are built for each fraction. These compartments are separated between each other with brick or concrete walls. For materials generated in larger quantities, several chimneys may lead to one same compartment. However, it is advised against building compartments for more than 4 sorting posts in order to allow for flexibility and adapt the separation system in case the composition of waste or the market of sorted materials evolve. The chimneys must be square-shaped, with openings between 58 and 62 cm. They must be made of galvanized steel sheet or painted with anticorrosive paint.

2.5.6 Baling press

The sorting centres will be equipped with a baling press, which will press the plastics, paper and cardboard in order to reduce the need for storage space and to minimise the transportation costs. All press loading equipment is an integral part of the equipment and must be included in the price. The bales must not weigh more than 200 kg considering that they will be loaded and transported internally by semi-manual labour. Considering this limit and the amount of waste processed, the tenderer may propose horizontal either vertical presses, providing justification for the choice made. The tenderer shall take into account the length of the pits given in the layout plans for housing the feeder and feeder conveyor belt for the baling press. The pit rims are protected by removable sheets to avoid materials being dumping between the feeder and the pit rim. The baling press performance will be assessed against: - the capacity of the press (tonnes/ hour) - the weight of the bales - access for repairs - occupational security measures - ease of maintenance and cleaning, protection against dirtying and congestion and jamming - wearing components

2.5.7 Metal elements, frames, platforms and equipment installation


56

works

2.5.7.1 General design, preliminary studies and coordination

All frames, platforms and structures must be studied in advance by the contractor of each lot. The contractor of each lot shall ensure technical coordination with the building’s construction company. Prior to any fabrication of frames, he shall propose the frame and structure plans in function of the dimension and connection characteristics (electrical supply…) of the equipment supplied.

2.5.7.2 Structural calculation and quality

Structural calculation must be done using the following principles:

Board floors for industrial type loads of 500kg/m².

Load transfer to ground of support platforms and equipment: maximum 1,5bars (150kPa). Direct bolting into the floor is forbidden, anchoring is by means of blocks of concrete which are themselves anchored in the floor slab serving to distribute loads to the floor slab.

All steel used for construction of metal parts (hoppers, frames, structures, platforms…) are hot-dip galvanized either covered by a layer of rust inhibitor and then by two layers of paint, the nature of which must be assessed through the tender (see technical evaluation criterion). The RAL colours will be defined with the designated contractor upon public contract notification. Brushing by cold galvanising on the site is forbidden;

All pieces of equipment can be unmounted from their support in case replacement is needed.

2.5.7.3 Security

The plans take into account security of installations, for instance protection against falling objects or moving parts. The contractor shall establish a complete risk analysis per post based on:

The exploitation and safety manuals of the manufacturers of the equipment.

Risks tied to frames, structures and other constructions built by the contractor.

2.5.7.4 Installation of pieces of equipment

Equipment remains the responsibility of the contractor until provisional acceptance of the equipment on the sites of the sorting centres. The sorting chain must be assembled in accordance with the layout plan of the equipment to be supplied with the tender and based on the layout plans provided in Annexe 1 of these Tender Specifications. The supply and installation tender will be established for the whole of the equipment provided for each lot. Installation includes all frames and structures to be realised for the various electromechanical elements, the hoppers, the access and work platforms, the access stairs, the electrical panels as well as all electrical casing and cabling for feeding except for sheats under the floor slab which are placed by building’s construction companies.


57

Equipment and connections thereof are realised in accordance with the installation instructions of the manufacturers and respect the legislation of Algeria concerning industrial electrical installations.

2.5.7.5 Electrical connections

Cabling must be realised for the whole of the equipment as well as for the general electrical cabinet linked to the pieces of equipment (see above). The general electrical panels suit the technical equipment of the sorting chain and at least comprise:

A voltage control light per phase

An ammeter per phase

A main switch

General protection by circuit breaker per phase

Protection by differential 120mA

Connection to general earthing of the building, including earthing switch

Feeder of individual protected circuits with tetrapolar circuit breakers for: o Bag opener o Loader belt conveyor o Electromagnet o Granulometric separator o Sorting belt o Conveyor and baling press o Backup circuit (32A)

Emergency stop push buttons (complete stop of all installations) must also be provided. The push buttons must be placed at the locations indicated by the Project Owner, with at least:

o 2 emergency push buttons at the feeder and conveyor level, upstream of the bag opener

o 2 emergency push buttons at granulometric separator loading level o 8 emergency push buttons in the sorting centre’s hangar.

Take into account the fact that the motors have either soft starters or frequency converters placed in the separate and local cabinets located close to the separate pieces of equipment. For each lot, the works include the placement of these cabinets close to the separate individual pieces of equipment and their electrical connection with the general switch defined above.

2.5.7.6 End of installation and end-of-installation report

The completion of installation for each sorting centre gives rise to an end-of-installation report allowing to power up the equipment and start blank tests (without waste). Whether the end-of-installation report is granted also depends of reception of the control certificate of the electrical installations by the accredited instance which the contractor will call upon and of the obtention of the documentation on the operation and maintenance of the pieces of equipment. Also the final version of electrical plans and diagrams must be available. The blanc tests realised upon the end-of-installation report must allow to:

Verify the functioning of the whole set of pieces of equipment and their possible (speed) adjustment to manage feeding.

Train staff members of the operator’s in operating the separate pieces of equipment, in maintenance and regular care and in access conditions, including


58

safety rules to be established such as for stopping the installations, working with the electrical cabinets…

As a minimum, the head of the exploitation must be trained continuously during the installation of the chain; it is to the head of the exploitation to involve others from the exploitation in such continuous training. The contractor shall include this aspect in the methodological note on the matter.

2.5.7.7 Taking into operation and training

Following the end-of-installation report and the blank tests, the whole of the installations will be subjected to taking into operation which will last 2 months. This period is to allow the Project Owner and the operator to verify the correct functioning of the installations in operational mode, to do the performance tests and to improve the training of exploitation staff. The contractor shall be present continuously at least for two weeks at the beginning of the taking into operation period to ensure training of exploitation staff. The contractor shall remain responsible of maintenance during the whole of the taking into operation period (two months), which will be carried out with exploitation staff but under the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor will have access to the installations during operational working hours of the sorting centres so he can verify the exploitation modes even beyond the above-mentioned training period. All exploitation staff must be continuously trained during the taking into operation period. The contractor shall include this aspect in the methodological note on the matter. The end of the taking into operation period depends on continuous functioning over a period of two months, which must be considered as a minimum correct functioning of the installations, without recurring breakdowns, over a period of two weeks at least. In case of a breakdown, the installer is bound to intervene within 24 hours at most as from the notification of the breakdown by the operator. In all cases, functioning must be continuous without recurring breakdowns over a period of two weeks at least for provisional acceptance of the installations to be considered.

2.6 Option

For Sidi Bel Abbès, the supply of a basic granulometric sorting system (standard diameter of 60mm) is described under point 2.4.4. In this wilaya, recyclable fraction is primarily in the fraction > 100 mm and the fraction between 60 – 100 mm is hardly useable (compostable organic fraction is below 60 mm and has already been separated by a first granulometric system). Thus, for Sidi Bel Abbès, the tenderer will have to propose a second granulometric sorting system at 100 mm with performance above or equal to 85%.

3.3 Integrity Statement for the tenderers

Concerns the tenderer:

Domicile / Registered office:

Reference n° of the public contract:

To the attention of the Belgian Technical Cooperation,

Hereby, I / we, acting as legal representative(s) of above-mentioned tenderer, declare the

following:

Neither members of administration nor workers, or any person or legal person with

whom the tenderer has concluded an agreement in view of performing the contract,

may obtain or accept from a third party, for themselves of for any other person or

legal person, an advantage appreciable in cash (for instance, gifts, bonuses or any

other kind of benefits), directly or indirectly related to the activities of the person

concerned for the account of the Belgian Technical Cooperation.

The board members, staff members or their partners have no financial or other

interests in the businesses, organisations, etc. that have a direct or indirect link

with the Belgian Technical Cooperation (which could, for instance, bring about a

conflict of interests).

I have / we have read and understood the articles about deontology and anti-

corruption included in the Tender Specifications and I / we declare fully endorsing

and respecting these articles.

I am / we are also aware of the fact that the personnel of the Belgian Technical Cooperation

are bound by the provisions of a Code of conduct, which states that: “In order to ensure the

impartiality of personnel, staff members are not allowed to solicit, demand or receive gifts,

bonuses or any other kind of benefits for themselves or third parties, whether in exercising

their function or not, when said gifts, bonuses or benefits are linked to that exercising. Note,

that what matters most here is not so much the enrichment resulting from accepting gifts,

bonuses or benefits of all kinds, rather than the loss of impartiality, which is required from

the staff member when exercising his/her function. Privately, staff members do not accept

any financial or other bonus, gift or benefit for services rendered”.

If above-mentioned contract is awarded to the tenderer, I/we declare, moreover, agreeing

with the following provisions:

In order to avoid any impression of risk of partiality or connivance in the follow-up

and control of the performance of the contract, it is strictly forbidden to the

contractor of the contract (i.e., members of administration and workers) to offer,


66

directly or indirectly, gifts, meals or any other material or immaterial advantage, of

whatever value, to staff members of the Belgian Technical Cooperation who are

concerned, directly or indirectly, by the follow-up and/or control of the performance

of the contract, regardless of their hierarchical rank.

Any (procurement) contract will be terminated, once it appears that contract

awarding or contract performance would have involved the obtaining or the offering

of the above-mentioned advantages appreciable in cash.

Any failure to comply with one or more of the deontological clauses may lead to

the exclusion of the contractor of this contract from other public contracts

concluded with the Belgian Technical Cooperation.

The contractor of the public contract commits to supply, upon the demand of the

contracting authority, any supporting documents related to the performance

conditions of the contract. The contracting authority will be allowed to proceed to

any control, on paperwork or on site, which it considers necessary to collect

evidence to support the presumption of unusual commercial expenditure.

Finally, the tenderer takes cognisance of the fact that the Belgian Technical Cooperation

reserves the right to lodge a complaint with the competent legal instances for all facts going

against this statement and that all administrative and other costs resulting are borne by the

tenderer.
