Thread Content
According to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction, the correct approach to correcting obvious numerical errors in a bid is ( ). A. The owner should seek the opinions of bidders before conducting the evaluation. B. When the total price and the price per unit yield different results, the total price shall be used to adjust the price per unit. C. When the total price and the price per unit yield different results, the price per unit shall be used to adjust the total price. D. Bidders have one opportunity to modify their quotes
【Standard Answer】C 【Expert Explanation】This question tests the application of unit-price contracts. The characteristic of a unit price contract is that the unit price takes precedence; for example, in FIDIC contracts for civil engineering construction, the figures listed in the employer’s quantity survey are merely reference values, while the actual cost of the work is calculated based on the actual amount of work completed and the unit price specified in the contract. Although the total price is often emphasized in bidding, bid evaluation, and contract signing, the unit price takes precedence in the settlement of project costs. In the event of obvious arithmetic errors in the bid documents, the employer has the right to make corrections before proceeding with the evaluation; when there is a discrepancy between the calculated total price and the price per unit, the total price shall be adjusted based on the unit price.
