For bidding purposes, goods to be procured in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 above shall be grouped in such manner as shall be agreed by the Bank prior to issuing the invitation to bid. 4. For the purpose of evaluation and comparison of bids for the supply of goods to be procured on the basis of international competitive bidding, (i) bidders shall be required to state in their bid the c.i.f. (port of entry) price for imported goods, or the ex-factory price for domestically manufactured goods; (ii) customs duties and other import taxes on imported goods, and sales and similar taxes on domestically supplied goods, shall be excluded; and (iii) the cost to the Borrower of inland freight and other expenditures incidental to the delivery of goods to the place of their use or installation shall be included.

Contracts for civil works (including land preparation) estimated to cost the equivalent of $1,000,000 or less shall be procured in accordance with local competitive bidding procedures satisfactory to the Bank. 3. With the prior approval of the Bank, civil works (including land preparation) under paragraph (a) of Part A of the Project may be carried out by force account, provided the aggregate cost of such works shall not exceed the equivalent of $400,000. C. Preference for Domestic Manufacturers In the procurement of goods in accordance with the procedures described in Part A of this Schedule, goods mar"-,,ctured in Colombia may be granted a margin of p-eference in accordance with, and subject to, the following provisions: 1. All bidding documents for the procurement of goods shall clearly indicate any preference which will be granted, the information required to establish the eligibility of a bid for such preference and the following methods and stages that will be followed in the evaluation and comparison of bids. 2. After evaluation, responsive bids will be classified in one of the following three groups: (1) Group A: bids offering goods manufactured in Colombia if the bidder shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower and the Bank that the manufacturing cost of such goods includes a value added in Colombia equal to at least 20% of the ex-factory bid price of such goods. (2) Group B: all other bids offering goods manufactured in Colombia. (3) Group C: bids offering any other goods.

- 24-3. All evaluated bids in each group shall be first compared among themselves, excluding any customs duties and other import taxes or goods to be imported and any sales or similar taxes on goods to be supplied domestically, to determine the lowest evaluated bid of each group. Such lowest evaluated bids shall then be compared with each other, and if as a result of this comparison, a bid from group A or group B is the lowest, it shall be selected for the award. 4. If, as a result of the comparison under paragraph 3 above, the lowest bid is a bid from group C, all group C bids shall be further compared with the lowest evaluated bid from group A after adding to the c.i.f. bid price of the imported goods offered in each group C bid, for the purpose of this further comparison only, an amount equal to: (i) the amount of customs duties and other import taxes which a non-exempt importer would have to pay for the importation of the goods offered in such group C bid; or (ii) 15% of the c.i.f. bid price of such goods if said customs duties and taxes exceed 15% of such price. If the group A bid in such further comparison is the lowest, it shall be selected for the award; if not, the bid from group C which as a result of the comparison under paragraph 3 is the lowest evaluated bid shall be selected.
