New clarification added: 1. Question:For privately owned companies, can the requirement for audited financial statements for the last three (3) years be met with signed financial statements for the last three (3) years?Answer:The document submitted need to be audited or at least reviewed by the trusted party/entity to make sure the report is validated.Kindly clarify why an audited version cannot be submitted? If the audit is not yet completed, then your company can submit the audited one from the previous year.Or else, your company should submit another documentation which is verifiable to confirm the annual turnover, such as signed contract/PO with their previous clients. 2. Question:In regards to this section of the ToR: “Field interventions will be undertaken under the supervision of a UNOPS Site Engineer, utilising the services of PNG based contractors, as required, who will be contracted directly by UNOPS following UNOPS procurement rules and policy.” Does that imply that no field travel should be planned or budgeted by the consultant team within the proposal? From our perspective and experience, it’s very important that the team completing the feasibility study conduct site visits themselves to collect relevant information with UNOPS representatives.Answer: This section of the TOR is about future implementation. Field visit, investigation and assessment will be the full responsibility of the bidder. UNOPS will not assign any additonal contractor for field investigation. Hence, UNOPS will assist only in liaising with stakeholders such as PNG Power Ltd, Provincial Administration and others to supply information when required. In this connection, the bidder has to submit a method statement on how to carryout field investigation including its subcontractors for this purpose.We will upload the revised TOR with this change (deleting this part from the TOR) shortly. 3. Question:Please confirm that the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is a deliverable of the project, and not expected at proposal stage? We understand that a methodology for completing the ESMP should be in the proposed approach in the proposal.Answer:ESMP is deliverable of the service. The proposal shall include methodology and approach for completeing the ESMP 4. Question:Is there any page limit for the method statement?Answer:No, there is no page limit for thisShould you have any further questions, feel free to raise it to us.Best Regards,
