After the opening of tenders, the bidder with the highest evaluation score according to 6 above among those who submitted valid bids within the range of the estimated price shall be the successful bidder candidate. If the tender participation qualifications of that person are confirmed to be valid, that candidate shall be determined as the successful bidder. If the successful bidder candidate is found to be unqualified, their bid will be invalidated, and the bidder with the next highest evaluation score will be considered as the new successful bidder candidate for qualification confirmation. This process will continue sequentially until a bidder is confirmed to have valid qualifications. If there are two or more bidders with the same highest evaluation score, the successful bidder candidate will be determined by lottery. b. The works listed in this notice are trial projects subject to the Chiba City Low Bid Price Handling Guidelines (effective January 1, 1996), including low bid price disqualification criteria. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if the successful bidder candidate is below the investigation standard price, qualification confirmation will be conducted based on the provisions of the same guidelines. If the tender participation qualifications are confirmed to be valid after the investigation, the successful bidder will be determined by conducting a low bid price investigation in descending order of evaluation score. If there are two or more bidders with the same evaluation score among those subject to the low bid price investigation, the order of the low bid price investigation will be determined by lottery. If all bidders subject to the low bid price investigation do not become successful bidders, the procedure will follow the example of the case where the bidder is found to be unqualified as the successful bidder candidate in the preceding paragraph. (2) Notification of Successful Bidder Determination After determining the successful bidder, all tender participants will be notified promptly via the successful bidder determination notice on the electronic bidding system. (3) Notification of Tender Participation Qualification Confirmation Results The results of the tender participation qualification confirmation for the successful bidder will be conveyed by the successful bidder determination notice.

(2) Persons whose bids were invalid, disqualified, or not submitted in the previous tender cannot participate in the re-tender. (3) In the case of tenders subject to low bid price investigation, if the investigated bidder is not selected as the successful bidder and no bids are within the estimated price range, a re-tender will be held. This also applies if the investigation only concerns bids below the price disqualification criteria. (4) Notification of re-tendering will be sent to those who submitted valid bids in the previous tender via the electronic bidding system's "Re-tender Notice" and "Re-tender Notice Arrival Notification" emails. (5) The period and date/time of re-tendering will be stated in the re-tender notice. (6) The location of the tender opening will be the same as in 7(2) above.
