evaluation of the “Financial Bid”, the responsiveness of the bids will be further

determined with respect to the remaining bid conditions, i.e., priced bill of quantities,

technical specifications, and drawings.

26.2 A substantially responsive “Financial Bid” is one which confirms all the terms,

conditions and specifications of 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 the Works; (b) which limits in

estimate of the cost of work to be performed under the contract the Employer may
