26.2 A substantially responsive bid is one that conforms to all the terms, conditions, and Employer’s Requirements of the bidding documents without material deviation or reservation. A material deviation or reservation is one:

a) which affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of works

b) which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the Bidding Documents, the Employer's rights or the bidder's obligations under the contract; or

c) whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other bidders presenting substantially responsive bids

26.3 If a bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the Employer, and may not subsequently be made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the non-conforming deviation or reservation

27 Correction of Errors 27.1 Bids determined to be substantially responsive will be checked by Employer for any arithmetic errors. Errors will be corrected by the Employer as follows

(a) where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words, the amount in words will govern; and

(b) where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will govern, unless in opinion of the Employer there is an obviously gross misplacement of the decimal point in the unit rate, in which case the line item total as quoted will govern and the unit rate will be corrected.

27.2 The amount stated in the bid will be adjusted by the Employer in accordance with above procedure for the correction of errors and, with the concurrence of the bidder, shall be considered as binding upon the bidder. If the bidder does not accept the corrected amount of bid, its bid will be rejected, and the bid security may be forfeited in accordance with Sub-Clause 16.6(b).

28.4 No cost price adjustment provision will be taken into account in bid evaluation

28.5 If the bid of the successful bidder is seriously unbalanced or front loaded in relation to the Employer's estimate of the items of work to be performed under the contract, the Employer may require the bidder to produce detailed price analyses for any or all items of the bill of quantities, to demonstrate the internal consistency of those prices with the construction methods and schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analyses, taking into consideration the schedule of estimated contract payments, the Employer may require that the amount of the performance security set forth in Clause 33 be increased at the expense of the bidder to a level sufficient to protect the Employer against financial loss in the event of default of the successful bidder under the contract.

28.6 Points will be awarded to the Bidders using the Evaluation Criteria as outlined in "2.3 Evaluation Criteria"F. Award of Contract

29 Award 29.1 Subject to Clause 30, the Employer will award the contract to the bidder whose bid has been determined to be substantially responsive to the Bidding Documents and who has achievedthe highest point as per clause 27.6 provided that such bidder has been determined to be;(a) Eligible in accordance with the provisions of Sub-Clause 3; and (b) Qualified in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.
