C.3.19 Vaal Central Water Board (VCWB) uses a Financial Tolerance Range also referred to

as standard deviation to in order to assess how reasonable the market response

prices are (the consultant estimate). These ranges will assist with eliminating bid

prices that are deemed to be excessively high or low to complete the works. The

higher limit ensures that Vaal Central Water does not pay more than it believes the

value of service or goods is worth, and the lower limit ensures that Vaal Central

Water is not exposed to risk of work not being completed or prices increasing

subsequent to the award because the award price was too low to complete said

scope.

The financial tolerance range for this bid is -20% to +20%.

VCWB reserves the right to not appoint the lowest bidder, this is in the event the

bidder submits a bidder lower than the estimate.
