New clarification added: QUESTION:We have noted that it is mentioned that no PPL certifications will be required to certify conformity of the system installation per the local regulations. From our previous experience, PPL is usually required to inspect and commission the systems in order to confirm successful installation and commissioning. Please share more insights on this.ANSWER:The system design has been developed based on site requirements and complies with local and international standards. The contractor is expected to perform installation and commissioning of systems in accordance with the approved design and specifications. Furthermore, the system does not require PPL certification to confirm its operation with network operator standards unless it is a grid-tied solution.

New clarification added: QUESTIONS:Please confirm that the circuit breakers specified for the work are compliant with the AS/NZS standards?Please confirm that the design is complaint with the AS/NZS standards and PNG standards, and that the contractor will not be responsible for any compliance errors or omissions where the contractor has complied with the specifications?Please provide confirmation that PPL does not require submission of solar design documents to be approved prior to commencing works. All works will be compliant with the specifications.ANSWERS:Yes, the circuit breakers specified for the work are to be compliant with the applicable PNG standards and AS/NZS codes. The supplier is responsible for ensuring that all circuit breakers meet these requirements.Yes, the solar design components have been evaluated against the relevant AS/NZS and PNG standards. Professional liability for design compliance rests with the Design consultant rather then contractor, provided the contractor complies with the specified design and documentation.The design has been validated by the design consultant based on requirements, does not require submission to PPL for prior approval. All works will be carried out in compliance with the approved design and specifications.

New clarification added: QUESTION:This is regarding 0.7 Performance Statement. I would like to clarify that several of the projects we carried out were not undertaken under formal contract arrangements. These works were executed based on mutual agreements and direct client requests, due to our proven experience and trusted workmanship in solar installations.As such, official contract numbers were not issued for those particular projects. I kindly ask for your guidance on how this situation can be addressed within the evaluation process.ANSWER:In case the contract number is not available, please skip the contract number, but other information such as name and details of the client, the project implementation period, description of the scope of work, and the value of the contract. During the evaluation process, UNOPS may request evidence to verify the past experience submitted. In cases where a formal contract document is not available, the following documents may be submitted upon request, in lieu of the contract:- Completion certificates issued by the client- Work orders or purchase orders- Invoices and payment records associated with the projectUNOPS may also contact the past client to verify the information
