being the aggregate ABC to payments under the contract for the SUPPLY AND DELIVERY OF POTABLE BULK WATER SUPPLY – GUADALUPE, CEBU CITY. Bids received in excess of the unit ABC and/or Total ABC shall be automatically rejected on bid opening. 

The Bidder shall bid on all tiers and in no case shall it exceed the unit ABC for each tier or leave the bid price per tier blank. Otherwise, it shall be rejected. Specifying a “0” (zero) or a “-” (dash) for the required tier(s) means that the same is being offered free to the government. The Bidder with the lowest total bid price shall be declared the lowest calculated bidder.

The ABC for each tier includes price changes not limited to wage increases, power cost, fuel cost, price increases of materials and supplies and other production and maintenance costs, inflation, currency fluctuation and foreign currency devaluation.  Hence, the contract price is not subject to price adjustment and escalation during contract implementation considering that the exemption provided in Section 61, Rule XIX – Contract Prices and Warranties of the 2016 IRR of RA 9184 is already incorporated herein.
