While the national guidelines stipulate confirmation of the breakdown of costs in writing ("Reason Statement") when the direct construction cost falls below a certain level, this city will, in principle, request a Reason Statement along with the application documents from all bidders who are requested to submit application documents, regardless of whether the direct construction cost falls below a certain level. This Reason Statement is not for stating the reason why the cost fell below a certain level, but rather to explain the calculation method and thinking behind the bid amount and construction cost breakdown, and to confirm the appropriateness of labor costs based on the submitted Reason Statement. Even if a reasonable response cannot be confirmed, the contract will be concluded, but the purchaser will report to the "Construction G-men" (investigators under Article 40-4 of the Construction Industry Act). However, this trial implementation is limited to general competitive bids (excluding unit price contracts) for which the Finance Bureau, Contract Department, Construction Contract Section concludes the contract.

Designated competitive bids and discretionary contracts are not subject to this. Submission of "Reason Statement" After the bid opening, all bidders requested to submit application documents must submit a Reason Statement along with the application documents to the construction project management section listed in the bid notice (the deadline for submitting the Reason Statement is the same as for the application documents). For general competitive bids (WTO-covered), submit the Reason Statement to the construction project management section listed in the bid notice by the prescribed deadline based on the suspension notice.
