The tender for a comprehensive treatment project for the inner city river has caused heated discussions in Tianchang City, Anhui Province. A bidder, Li Da, questioned the problem of "radish bidding" in this bidding on social **, that is, winning the project through low **. He believes that the winning bidder will not be able to complete the actual project, which has raised concerns about the fairness and compliance of the bidding.
According to information provided by Li Da, the city issued a tender announcement in September 2023 for a comprehensive treatment project of the inner city river, with a total investment of about 66.5 billion yuan. The bidding process is divided into three parts: credit review, technical review and business review, of which the business review includes the engineering score and the operation and maintenance score. In the O&M score, the lowest received a perfect score of 3.
According to the "List of Bid Evaluations" provided by Li Da, before the first link, CCCC Shanghai Waterway Bureau, China Railway 23rd Bureau, and China Railway 12th Bureau ranked in the top three, while an Anhui enterprise and a state-owned enterprise ranked sixth and seventh. However, in the end, the Anhui enterprise with a full score of 3 million yuan** ranked first in the total score and won the bid.
Li Da questioned that the company's ** violated the actual situation and violated the requirements of the tender announcement. The bidding documents clearly stipulate that if the bid is less than 10% of the effective average value, it will be judged to be lower than the project cost and will be eliminated directly. However, the winning bidder's 3 million yuan** could not complete the operation and maintenance project, which is estimated at 14 million yuan.
In the face of doubts, the Tianchang City Key Project Management Office responded that the bidding was fair, just and open, and said that the business department needed to reply to specific questions. At the same time, the bidding company also gave an explanation. They said that the provisions on cost prices in the tender documents were for the overall project data, not for the project operation and maintenance part. There may be deviations in the bidder's understanding of the documents.
According to the explanation of the staff of the bidding company, part of the cost of the operation and maintenance part is not adjustable, including the labor unit price and other specific expenses. However, other fees can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The winning bidder receives a discounted price for the item from the merchant, so it is lower. He also said that the winning bidder provided materials to prove its ability to perform the contract, and promised to ensure the quality of the project, and passed the review and evaluation of the review committee.
Summary:
The bidding for the comprehensive treatment project of the inner city river in Tianchang City, Anhui Province has caused widespread controversy. Skeptics argue that there is a "turnip tender" problem in the tender, that is, winning the bid at a low price. However, the tenderer responded that the bidding process was fair and impartial, and explained the provisions on cost price. This incident has sparked thinking and controversy from all walks of life, involving issues such as fairness and compliance of bidding, and interpretation of bidding documents.
