SUBJECT

Guidelines for the Determination of Major and Similar Categories of Work and Eligibility Requirements for Work Experience in the Procurement of Infrastructure Contracts

In compliance with Section 23.4.2.4 of Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 9184 stating that "the Prospective Bidder must have completed a Single Largest Completed Contract (SLCC) that is similar to the contract to be bid, and whose value, adjusted to current prices using the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) consumer price indices, must be at least fifty percent (50%) of the Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) to be bid," the concerned DPWH Procuring Entities and Implementing Units shall use the guidelines in this Department Order to determine the work experience on contracts similar to the contract to be bid that a bidder/contractor must possess to be considered eligible to bid for an infrastructure contract involving different categories of works.

A. DEFINITION OF TERMS:

The following terms shall be interpreted in this Department Order as defined:

1. Major Category of Works — the main classification of works, for purposes of evaluation of eligibility for civil works, according to type of infrastructure and kind of work performed — e.g., road construction, or bridge rehabilitation, etc.

2. Similar Category of Works — a kind of work whose classification is considered to be comparable to the major category of works for purposes of evaluation of eligibility for civil works.

3. Construction — the process of building a new infrastructure or facility, such as road, bridge, flood control or building.

4. Improvement — the betterment of existing infrastructure through upgrading, widening, or strengthening (e.g., retrofitting) in order to increase its original design capacity or performance.

5. Rehabilitation — a grouping of types of works which restore structural capacity and performance, and/or enhance safety. These types of works are applicable to infrastructure in poor or bad condition. In the case of pavement, this shall not extend to the subgrade. In the case of flood control, this incudes dredging.

6. Retrofitting — a grouping of types of work associated with strengthening of existing structures to comply with the latest standards, usually with the aid of new technology or introduction of new features to the old design.

7. Maintenance — an activity undertaken to keep or restore an asset to good working condition.

8. Qualifier — an additional specific requirement on Major or Similar Categories of Work, to be required from the bidders at the bidding stage, to show that they have the necessary expertise and experience to undertake the project, such as an extraordinarily large embankment volume, soft ground treatment, long tunnel using tunnel boring machine (TBM), or bridge retrofitting using special jacking technology.

9. Contract — is an enforceable agreement between two or more participants or persons. CAIHTE

B. LIST OF MAJOR CATEGORIES OF WORKS AND SIMILAR CATEGORIES OF WORKS AND EXAMPLES OF QUALIFIERS

1. In the procurement of infrastructure contracts, the DPWH Procuring Entities and Implementing Units concerned shall use the Major Categories of Works and Similar Categories of Works listed in ANNEX A. In determining the work experience of a contractor for a particular contract which involves a given set of Major Categories of Works (columns 1 and 2), the Procuring Entity shall consider the contractor's relevant work experience, not only for the Major Category of Work itself, but also for the corresponding Similar Categories of Works (columns 3 and 4) listed in ANNEX A.

2. Similar Categories of Work with asterisk marks (*) in column 4 of ANNEX A refer to those used in the DPWH Civil Works Application (CWA) prior to the adoption of this Department Order.

3. For the Similar Categories of Work referred to in Item B-2 above, the Procuring Entity shall specify in the Bidding Documents — particularly in the Eligibility Documents (EDs) and Eligibility Data Sheet (EDS) — the required Qualifiers, as defined in Item A-8 above, in order to define the specific requirements of the contract. To illustrate, if the required Major Category of Work is "BCSCP — Bridges: Construction — Steel (Superstructure) — with Cast-in-Place Driven Piles," then "BCS — Bridges: Construction — Steel" may be considered a Similar Category of Work. A Qualifier, however, should be specified in the Bidding Documents to the effect that the bridge must be on Cast-in-Place (i.e., Bored) Piles.

4. Examples of Qualifiers, as defined in item A-8 above, are given in ANNEX B.

5. The verification or validation of compliance with the Qualifiers shall be undertaken during the post-qualification of the bidder with the Lowest Calculated Bid, and not during the Eligibility Check.

C. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINATION OF MAJOR/SIMILAR CATEGORIES OF WORKS AND ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK EXRERIENCE

1. For a contract involving a single category of works (i.e., type of infrastructure and kind of work) — e.g., road construction, or bridge retrofitting, or flood control rehabilitation — the following criteria shall be adopted:

a. The Major Category of Works is the single category itself.

b. To be eligible to bid for the contract, a bidder/contractor must have done a Single Largest Completed Contract (SLCC) for a Major/Similar Category of Works whose total cost is at least 50% of the Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) to be bid.

2. For a contract to be bid involving multiple categories of works — e.g., road construction plus bridge retrofitting plus flood control rehabilitation — the following criteria shall be adopted:

a. Each category of works whose cost is at least 30% of the ABC shall be considered a Major Category of Works. All other categories of works shall be considered Minor Categories of Works.

b. To be eligible to bid for the contract, a contractor must comply with the following work experience requirements:

(1) As the basic requirement, the contractor must have undertaken a SLCC similar to the contract to be bid. To be so considered similar, the SLCC must meet the following requirements:

(a) The SLCC must contain the same Major Categories of Works as the contract to be bid, and each Major Category of Works in the SLCC must cost at least 30% of the total cost of the SLCC.

(b) The total cost of the SLCC must be at least 50% of the total ABC to be bid.

(2) As an additional requirement, for each Minor Category of Works in the contract to be bid, the contractor must have undertaken an SLCC — which could be different from the SLCC identified in item C-2-b (1) above — containing a Category of Works whose cost is at least 50% of the ABC to be bid for that Minor Category of Works.

In the case of projects which include special equipment to be supplied and installed by the supplier/manufacturer, the cost of such equipment shall be excluded from the ABC to be used in computing the required work experience. DETACa

ANNEX C shows an illustrative example in the determination of Major Categories of Works and in checking the work experience eligibility for a contract involving multiple categories of works.

D. PROCEDURE IN THE DETERMINATION OF MAJOR AND SIMILAR WORK CATEGORIES AND IN THE ELIGIBLITY CHECK USING THE CIVIL WORKS APPLICATION

1. For a specific contract to be bid, the Implementing Office shall fill out the required information in the Contract Profile (Form DPWH-INFRA 08) — i.e., Major Category(ies) of Works, unit of measure, dimensions, and cost estimate per category of the ABC. The estimated cost of each Major Category of Work should include the cost of the minor items related to or proportionately distributed to it. The proportionate distribution shall be based on the weighted percentage of the major items. The corresponding Similar Category(ies) of Work for each Major Category of Work shall be automatically selected by the CWA based on ANNEX A.

2. The Procuring Entity shall enter the Contract Profile into the CWA.

3. In case a bidder is already enrolled in the CWA and submits, together with its bid, the Original Receipt (OR) for payment of the Bidding Documents (BDs) for the contract issued by any DPWH office, the BAC Secretariat shall enter into the CWA the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) License Number and/or name of the bidder.

4. In case a bidder is not previously enrolled in the CWA and submits its Eligibility Documents — i.e., Class "A" and Class "B" Documents — as part of its bid, together with the OR for payment of the BDs for the contract issued by any DPWH office, the BAC shall consider first the bidder as eligible as to eligibility requirements and send immediately the Eligibility Documents to Procurement Service for encoding.

5. In case of Item D-3, the CWA program will then electronically process and compare (a) the bidder's work experience eligibility data in the CWA — i.e., the value of the bidder's SLCC for Major and Similar Categories of Works — against (b) the eligibility requirements for the contract derived from the Contract Profile earlier entered into the CWA — using the criteria in Item C above. The computer program will automatically determine if the bidder meets the work experience eligibility requirements.

6. The CWA shall also check if the contractor meets the legal requirements and financial eligibility requirements (i.e., NFCC) in accordance with existing guidelines.

7. The category of work used during the Eligibility Check shall be the same category when the project is completed, accepted and included in the database under the contractor's list of completed projects. This category shall be reflected in the Contractor's Information (CI) which is attached to the Contractor's Registration Certificate (CRC).

E. Modification of Major and Similar Categories of Work

The Committee on the Evaluation on Major Work Categories in the Civil Works Application, under D.O. 120 series of 2015, is hereby authorized to modify any item in the Table of Major Work and Similar Categories of Work in Annex A of D.O. 139, series of 2016, as well as other related Annexes therein, as necessary to suit changes in construction industry practices.

This Order supplements Department Orders No. 139 and 173, series of 2016, and shall take effect fifteen (15) calendar days after publication thereof in a newspaper of general circulation. aDSIHc

ANNEX C

EXAMPLE IN DETERMINING MAJOR CATEGORIES OF WORKS AND WORK EXPERIENCE ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT WITH MULTIPLE CATEGORIES OF WORKS

In the case of a contract consisting of multiple categories of works, the following hypothetical example illustrates the process in determining the Major Categories of Works of that contract and in checking the work experience eligibility of a bidder for the contract, using the rules prescribed in this Department Order (DO). ETHIDa

Given:

The contract to be bid consists of three categories of works with the following characteristics:

Contract to be Bid

Category	Approved Budget for	% of	Classification
	the Contract (ABC)	Total ABC

Road Construction	P50M	50% (i.e., 50M/100M)	Major
Bride Rehabilitation	P35M	35% (i.e., 35M/100M)	Major
Flood Control Construction	P15M	15% (i.e., 15M/100M)	Minor
	–––––––
	P100M
	======

In accordance with DO______, for the contract to be bid, Road Construction and Bridge Rehabilitation are both considered Major Categories of Works because the cost of each (P50M and P35M, respectively) is at least 30% of the ABC (P100M). On the other hand, for the same contract to be bid, Flood Control Construction is considered a Minor Category of Works since its cost is less than 30% of the ABC.

Problem:

Determine if a particular contractor with the following Single Largest Completed Contracts — SLCC-1 and SLCC-2 — meets the eligibility requirements for work experience for the contract to be bid.

SLCC-1

Category	Cost of SLCC-1
Road Construction	P25M
Bridge Rehabilitation	P20M
Building	P6M
	––––––
Total	P51M
	=====
SLCC-2

Category	Cost of SLCC-2
Flood Control Construction	P9M

Analysis:

Category	Cost of SLCC-1	% of SLCC-1 Cost	Classification
Road Construction	P25M	49% (i.e., 25M/51M)	Major
Bridge Rehabilitation	P20M	39% (i.e., 20M/51M)	Major
Building	6M		Not relevant
	–––––
Total	P51M
	=====

The contractor meets the basic eligibility requirement for work experience in the said DO, i.e., it has undertaken SLCC-1 similar to the contract to be bid, particularly because of the following:

a. SLCC-1 has the same two Major Categories of Works as the contract to be bid, and the cost of each Major Category is at least 30% of the total cost of SLCC-1, as required in the said DO. That is:

• SLCC-1's Road Construction costs P25M or 49% of the total SLCC-1 of P51M.

• SLCC-1's Bridge Rehabilitation costs P20M or 39% of the total SLCC-1 of P51M.

b. The total cost of SLCC-1 of P51M is 51% of the ABC to be bid and, thus, exceeds the minimum 50% of the total ABC to be bid, as required in the DO.

The contractor also meets the additional requirement for the Minor Category of Works in the contract to be bid — i.e., Flood Control Construction — since the contractor's SLCC-2 (a contract separate from SLCC-1) consists of Flood Control Construction with a cost of P9M which is 60% of the ABC to be bid for that Minor Category of Flood Control Construction and, therefore, exceeds the minimum 50% of the ABC, as required in the said DO.

Based on the above evaluation, the contractor is considered eligible, in so far as the work experience requirements are concerned, to bid for the contract at hand. cSEDTC
