corrupt or fraudulent practices.

F.3.8 Test for responsiveness

F.3.8.1 Determine, on opening and before detailed evaluation, whether each tender offer properly

received:

a) complies with the requirements of these Conditions of Tender,

b) has been properly and fully completed and signed, and

correction or withdrawal of the non-conforming deviation or reservation.

F.3.9 Arithmetical errors

F.3.9.1 Check responsive tender offers for arithmetical errors, correcting them in the following

manner:

a) Where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words, the amount in words

shall govern.

b) If bills of quantities (or schedule of quantities or schedule of rates) apply and there is an error in

the line item total resulting from the product of the unit rate and the quantity, the line item total

shall govern and the rate shall be corrected. Where there is an obviously gross misplacement

of the decimal point in the unit rate, the line item total as quoted shall govern, and the unit rate

shall be corrected.

c) Where there is an error in the total of the prices either as a result of other corrections required

by this checking process or in the tenderer's addition of prices, the total of the prices shall govern

and the tenderer will be asked to revise selected item prices (and their rates if bills of quantities

apply) to achieve the tendered total of the prices.

12 | P a g e

F.3.9.2 Consider the rejection of a tender offer if the tenderer does not correct or accept the correction

of his arithmetical errors in the manner described in F.3.9.1.
