New clarification added: Clarification:Dear Sir,We would like clarification on the following:As explained in Wednesday's meeting, there is a discrepancy between the bill of quantities, the drawings, and the technical specifications regarding the Steel Gate. The drawings clearly state "WIDE WOODEN BOARD 230X35 MM" with the dimensions, but the bill of quantities does not provide a full breakdown of this detail as shown in the drawings, and it is also not mentioned in the gate's technical specifications.Is the pricing based on the bill of quantities and technical specifications, disregarding the drawings? Or is the pricing based on the drawings and technical specifications, disregarding the bill of quantities?Furthermore, in the drawings, on the right, under the heading "main gate plan," there is a drawing of an M.S. FRAME. Could you please explain what this is exactly?Thank you for your understanding and patience.UNOPS REPLY:Please note that the Steel Gate shall be priced and executed based on the complete tender documentation, including the drawings, technical specifications, and bill of quantities, which shall be read together as complementary documents and not separately.Please note that the reference to “Approx. 220/230 × 35 mm Wide Wooden Board” shown in the drawings was included unintentionally as a drafting/typographical error and shall not be considered part of the project scope. Accordingly, bidders are requested not to include wooden cladding/wooden boards within their pricing for the steel gate item. A tender amendment will be made to remove the wooden board soon.The gate shall instead be fabricated and covered using steel sheets with a minimum thickness of 2 mm fixed to the steel frame, as indicated in the drawings and in accordance with the BOQ item and technical specifications.Furthermore, the notation “M.S. FRAME” shown in the drawings refers to “Mild Steel Frame,” which represents the structural steel frame/post supporting the gate leaves and associated hardware. The dimensions indicated (e.g., 100 × 100 mm or 150 × 100 mm) refer to the size of the steel frame sections as detailed in the drawings.Accordingly, bidders are requested to consider all components necessary for the complete supply, fabrication, finishing, and proper functioning of the gate system in accordance with the tender drawings and specifications.

New clarification added: Clarification: Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this email finds you well. We are currently reviewing the tender documents and drawings for the aforementioned project. To ensure an accurate technical and financial proposal, we would like to request clarification on the following points: 1. Bill of Quantities (BOQ) – Items C1 and C2Under sections C1 and C2, there are descriptions provided for the excavation and backfilling of sub-base material. However, we noticed two different quantities assigned to these items. Could you please confirm if these quantities are correct or if there is a specific layering requirement we should account for? 2. Structural Drawings – Stirrup SpacingIn the provided drawings, the reinforcement detail indicates 2 stirrups every 20 cm (as highlighted in yellow). We would like to verify if this spacing and quantity are accurate according to the structural design requirements, as this deviates from standard spacing patterns. 3. Detail Discrepancy – 10 cm Height AdjustmentThere is a specific area in the drawings marked in yellow indicating a 10 cm height. Since the standard block size used is 15 cm, we would like to clarify how this gap should be addressed: Should it be filled using a Damp Proof Course (D.P.C.)? Is it intended to be a thin layer of masonry/concrete? Or is there an alternative material specified for this 10 cm section? UNOPS REPLY:1. Bill of Quantities (BOQ) – Items C1 and C2Item C1 is intended for backfilling along the entire fence alignment after completion of the works, in order to maintain and adjust the required level differences/elevations.Item C2, however, is related only to backfilling within the footing casting area. Therefore, the two quantities are not duplicated; they refer to different scopes and locationswithin the works.2. Structural Drawings – Stirrup Spacing The stirrup spacing shown in the structural drawings is @200 mm center-to-center (c/c).3. Detail Discrepancy – 10 cm Height AdjustmentThe 10 cm height shown in the drawings represents the surrounding ground level difference and does not indicate an additional construction layer. The fence shall be constructed using CMU blocks directly on the footing, with no D.P.C. or other intermediate material required. The total fence height shall remain 2.00 m as indicated in the approved drawings.
