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.

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.
