(7) Bidding Method Bidders shall state in their bid the amount equivalent to 100/110 of the contract amount, including all related expenses, regardless of whether they are subject to consumption tax and local consumption tax. When determining the successful bidder, the amount stated in the bid will be increased by 10% of that amount (rounded down to the nearest yen) to determine the contract price. In principle, the number of bid executions will be limited to two. If a successful bidder is not determined within this number of bids, the procedure will not, in principle, transition to a discretionary contract based on the provisions of Article 99-2 of the Budgetary Order. (8) Method of Determining Successful Bidder The successful bidder will be the one with the highest evaluation value within the limit of the estimated price, based on Article 79 of the Budgetary Order. However, if it is recognized that the intended successful bidder may not be able to perform the contract in accordance with its terms due to their bid price, or if it is recognized that concluding a contract with them would be significantly inappropriate due to the risk of disrupting fair trade order, another bidder who has submitted a bid within the limit of the estimated price and has the highest evaluation value may be selected as the successful bidder. If there are two or more intended successful bidders, the successful bidder will be determined by lottery. (9) Requirement for Contract Creation: Yes (10) Low Bid Price Investigation In accordance with Article 85 of the Budgetary Order, as a procedure to not select the lowest bidder as the successful bidder when there is a risk of non-performance of the contract, a "Survey Standard Price" is determined by multiplying the estimated price by a certain ratio. For bidders whose bid price is below the Survey Standard Price, an investigation based on Article 86 of the Budgetary Order (hereinafter referred to as "Low Bid Price Investigation") will be conducted. ○ Criteria of Article 85 of the Budgetary Order The amount obtained by multiplying the estimated price by the following ratio will be the Survey Standard Price. The ratio obtained by multiplying the sum of the following amounts by 110/100 and dividing by the estimated price. ① Amount obtained by multiplying direct construction costs by 9.7/10 ② Amount obtained by multiplying common temporary work costs by 9/10 ③ Amount obtained by multiplying site management costs by 9/10 ④ Amount obtained by multiplying general administrative costs by 6.8/10 However, if the ratio exceeds 9.2/10, it shall be 9.2/10, and if it is less than 7.5/10, it shall be 7.5/10. If the bidding results in a bid below the Survey Standard Price, it will be declared "On Hold," and the successful bidder will be determined at a later date, stating that the contract award will be made based on the proviso to Article 29-6, Paragraph 1 of the Public Accounting Act. After the bidding ends, the surveyed bidder will immediately cooperate with the Low Bid Price Investigation by conducting interviews and inquiries with relevant parties. During the investigation period, the bidder is the "lowest bidder" but not the "successful bidder," so they are not guaranteed to be the successful bidder. If, as a result of the Low Bid Price Investigation, it is recognized that the contract can be performed in accordance with its terms at the lowest bidder's price, the lowest bidder will be immediately notified of the contract award, and all other bidders will also be notified. ① Content of Low Bid Price Investigation An investigation will be conducted as a procedural matter regarding the handling of the criteria in Article 85 of the Budgetary Order for bidders whose bid price is below the Survey Standard Price. The following items will be investigated in detail, and the surveyed bidder must cooperate. <1> Reason for bidding at the stated price <2> Breakdown of bid amount calculation <3> Status of existing work <4> Relationship between the contracted construction site and the bidder's office, warehouse, etc. <5> Status of existing materials <6> Material suppliers and their relationship with the bidder <7> Status of existing machinery <8> Specific supply of labor review <9> Names of public works projects previously constructed and ordering bodies <10> Disposal site for construction by-products <11> Other necessary matters ② Submission of necessary documents and interviews for the Low Bid Price Investigation The bidder subject to the Low Bid Price Investigation will be notified separately. In principle, within 7 days from the day after the notification, the bidder must submit the required documents for the investigation, including forms and attached documents for each form, and any other documents deemed necessary (submission forms will be distributed at the time of notification). After the surveyed bidder submits the investigation documents, etc., interviews will be conducted with the responsible person (branch manager, sales office manager, etc.) of the surveyed bidder to strictly confirm whether there is a risk of non-performance of the contract in accordance with its terms. Additional explanations may be requested if documents are not submitted or explanations are insufficient. ③ In case of non-cooperation with the Low Bid Price Investigation, etc. If the bidder does not cooperate with the Low Bid Price Investigation or fails to submit additional documents, the bid will be deemed invalid in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 2, Item 3 of the "Civil Aviation Bureau Competitive Contract Bidding Rules," and it may be considered a violation of Article 7, Paragraph 2 of the same rules.
