The Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure (MCTI), in accordance with the Law on Budget for 2018 of the Republic of Serbia, has applied for financing to the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a framework loan on development of river transport infrastructure, with approved co-financing from the EU/CEF Transport Sector Grant for the scheme “Upgrade of the Iron Gate 1 Navigation Lock” in accordance with the Grant Agreement No INEA/CEF/TRAN/A2016/1356685.
The scope of the contract includes the contract management and supervision services (acting as the FIDIC Engineer) according to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design Build (FIDIC “Yellow Book”, First Edition 1999) and relevant national and international legislation.
The scope of the Works Contract to be managed and supervised by the awarded bidder refers to upgrading the two stage lock on the Danube River at Iron Gate I at km D 943 (the two stage existing locks are each 310 m long per stage and 34 m wide) and it includes the development of the detail design, upgrade works and equipment replacement for the relevant elements of the navigation lock infrastructure (e.g. civil and architectural, electro-hydraulic, hydro-mechanical, ancillary systems) in order to make the infrastructure compliant with applicable EU requirements for inland waterway transport.
Participation is open to all natural persons and firms (participating either individually or in a grouping — consortium — of tenderers) originating from all countries of the world.
All eligible natural and legal persons (as per item 11 above) or groupings of such persons (consortia) may apply.
A consortium may be a permanent, legally established grouping or a grouping, which has been constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All members of a consortium (i.e., the leader and all other members) are jointly and severally liable to the Contracting Authority.
The participation of an ineligible natural or legal person (as per item 11) will result in the automatic exclusion of that person. In particular, if that ineligible person belongs to a consortium, the whole consortium will be excluded.
No more than one application can be submitted by a natural or legal person whatever the form of participation (as an individual legal entity or as leader or member of a consortium submitting an application). In the event that a natural or legal person submits more than one application, all applications in which that person has participated will be excluded.
Any tenders received from tenderers comprising firms other than those mentioned in the short-listed application forms will be excluded from this restricted tender procedure unless prior approval from the Contracting Authority has been obtained (see Practical Guide – PRAG - 2.4.3.). Short-listed candidates may not form alliances or subcontract to each other for the contract in question.
As part of the application form, candidates must submit a signed declaration, included in the standard application form, to the effect that they are not in any of the exclusion situations listed in Section 2.3.3 of the PRAG, as well as the European Investment Bank (EIB) Covenant of Integrity to the effect that they are not and will be not engaged in any Prohibited Conduct as defined in the template of the European Investment Bank Covenant of Integrity.
On the basis of the applications received, between 4 and 8 candidates will be invited to submit detailed tenders for this contract. If the number of eligible candidates meeting the selection criteria is less than the minimum of 4, the Contracting Authority may still invite the candidates who satisfy the criteria to submit a tender.
The following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of applications submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole unless specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and singlemember companies when they are sub-contractors.
