The ACE List Pricing Specification sets out the requirements regarding the basis and timing for determining the contract price; therefore, A and C are correct. The contract price should cover aspects such as advance payments, costs related to safe and civilized construction, project measurement and payment, adjustments to the project price, claims and on-site visas, pricing risks, final settlement, and quality warranty funds; therefore, B is incorrect. In the bidding process, the issuance of a tender is an invitation to offer, while a bidder’s submission of a bid constitutes an offer. The issuance of the tender notice represents an undertaking by the tenderer, and the content of this undertaking must be consistent with that of the offer. Bidders are bound by the terms of their bids; therefore, when concluding a contract, if there is any discrepancy between the tender documents and the bidder’s bid, the terms of the bidder’s bid shall prevail. Hence, E is correct.
