TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1) Acquisition and understanding of documents related to the procurement procedure

The feasibility study report is the basis to implement the demonstration projects in DPRK rural areas. The

first document of Invitation to Bid with reference of ITB-2012-03-DPRK and its Amendments were prepared

and advertised in January 2012, but the technical specifications of the Rice Husk Gasified Power Generation

system were revised by local experts in close consultation with UNDP-DPRK and Feasibility Study team. It

followed to re-preparation and re-advertisement of Invitation to Bid with reference of ITB-2012-06-DPRK.

Therefore the documents for acquisition and understanding are:

Invitation to Bid ITB-2012-06-DPRK and its Amendment 1 with subject “Procurement of complete

equipment and materials, for the installation of a 100 kW Rice Husk Gasification Power Plant in Yaksu

Cooperative Farm, in the DPR of Korea”; and

Offer submitted by SPM COGEN SDN BHD focused on the technical specifications of the system.

2) Pre-delivery inspection of the whole system of equipment as per the Appendix I

Based on the acquisition and understanding of documents described above, a contractor will be responsible

to carry out the inspection of the equipment through site visit to the manufacturing company and/or factory

with the following tasks.

system one by one compared to the documents;

To conduct the qualitative evaluation of the equipment based on the expertise interpretation and

operational experiences with measuring dimensions and calculating technical parameters;

To discuss some issues with manufacturers to be clear in qualitative and quantitative evaluation;

To check the label of equipment focused on the technical specifications, and if it is not clear, set in test

operation of equipment; and

To take pictures of inspected equipment to attach in the inspection report.

3) Preparing and submission the pre-delivery inspection report

After completion of pre-delivery inspection, a contractor is responsible to prepare the inspection report to
