Clarification Regarding BOQ Units “% Job / % Nos.” and Scheduled BOQ

Dear Sir/Madam,

With reference to the tender BOQ, we would like to seek clarification regarding the items where the Unit is mentioned as “% Job” / “% Nos.” with a quantity of 1.

The following issues require clarification:

The BOQ mentions the unit as % Job / % Nos., but no base amount, percentage basis, or measurable quantity has been provided against these items.

It is therefore unclear how the bidder is expected to calculate and quote the Rate and Amount for such items.

Furthermore, the Scheduled BOQ / Schedule of Rates is also not structured or provided on a percentage basis for these works. Therefore, there is no defined scheduled value against which a percentage can be applied.

In the absence of a defined base value in the BOQ or Scheduled BOQ, different bidders may interpret and quote the percentage differently, making fair and comparable financial evaluation impossible.

Kindly clarify whether these items are intended to be quoted as Lump Sum (L.S.) / Job / Nos. rather than percentage-based items, or provide the applicable base value and formula for calculating the percentage rate.

We therefore request you to kindly clarify the basis of “% Job / % Nos.” and provide the corresponding scheduled/base amounts, or revise the BOQ accordingly so that bidders can submit their financial offers accurately and uniformly.

Your clarification in this regard is highly appreciated.
