Chapter 320 Project Bidding
Starting from the beginning of August, Zhang Qi called Zheng Yiping and took a survey team to the Far East to inspect the entire oil and gas pipeline to be bid.
To check it out, you really need to go to the scene with two feet to experience it, rather than sitting in a car and watching the scenery.
The inspection of pipeline construction is not just a patrol with hands behind your back, you also need to carry measuring tools, locators, and tents and picnic tools in the accompanying vehicle.
Traveling at dawn and sleeping in the open air are commonplace.
For construction work, it is not enough to just have design plans and design drawings. You must also refine your own construction drawings.
This parallel oil and gas pipeline in the Far East is sometimes erected in the wilderness. It is advantageous to dig trenches and bury it underground. Sometimes it passes through rivers and lakes, and sometimes it has to cross roads and bridges. The specific conditions can only be known after walking through it.
Various problems will also be encountered during construction, such as rotting swamps, years of frozen soil, ancient tomb cultural relics...
This section of the pipeline is all located in the Khabarovsk Territory, which belongs to Lovich's base camp, and the cooperation between government departments is relatively good.
The pipeline route runs along the Amur River, with an asphalt road nearby, and the construction conditions are pretty good.
This section of the project is divided into 4 bid sections: about 185 kilometers from Takhta to Malinkosiye, 220 kilometers from Malinkosiye to the oil and gas treatment plant in Komsomolsk, 215 kilometers from Komsomolsk to Hinda, and 215 kilometers from Hinda to Khabarovsk.
108 kilometers of oil and gas treatment plants.
While Zhang Qi was conducting field surveys and refining the construction plan, the company also had administrative staff handling company registration, bank account and tax account registration in Khabarovsk.
The pipes provided by the Gongqingcheng Iron and Steel Plant have been processed. Zhang Qi and Zheng Yiping took the time to go to the site to have a look, and asked for samples to be sent to China for testing and archiving, so that they could have peace of mind when welding on site.
In the event that there is a problem with the pipeline and there is a dispute over the quality of the pipe material, the stored samples are evidence.
Zhang Qi and others did not return to China during the National Day. The pipeline bidding is imminent and they are working hard to prepare the bidding plan.
The bidding will be held as scheduled on October 8. There are currently 6 companies registered to participate in the bidding, including 1 company from Sam Country, 1 company from Sun Country, 1 company from Maple Leaf Country, 2 companies from Bear Country, and 1 company from China.
Six units may not seem like a lot to grab, but some units may bid for one section, while others may bid for all four sections, so the competition is equally fierce.
In the past two days, Zhang Qi was struggling with how to determine the quotation.
In project bidding, quotation is the most critical factor. Generally, the lowest bid is the winning bid, and this time is no exception.
This bid was a secret bid in accordance with international practice.
The so-called hidden bid bidding is not a secret operation, but requires the bidding unit to uniformly prepare bidding documents in accordance with the style, specifications, paper, ink, text, typesetting and other regulations required by Party A. The documents must not be altered, marked or contain any suggestive content.
.
This is done to enhance confidentiality, improve the quality of bidding, and curb corruption.
The number of judges for the bid evaluation this time is set to 5. One is a representative of the Khabarovsk government, who will mainly review the protection of the surrounding environment during pipeline construction; 3 are representatives of related parties.
This pipeline will provide oil and gas transmission services to the oil and gas company on Sakhalin Island, so representatives from Sam, Sun, and Netherlands were invited to serve as judges; Party A’s representative only arranged for one person.
The reason for this operation is also to explain to the shareholders of Far East Oil and Gas Company.
Far East Oil and Gas Company, with a registered capital of 1 billion U.S. dollars, is controlled by Polar Mining.
The people behind Polar Mining are Chen Lidong and Lovich, but they are retreating behind the scenes.
Because of his status as a Chinese businessman, Chen Lidong had to transfer his equity in the Far East enterprise to his mechanical servants.
Lovich is thinking about Gennady. If Gennady wants to stand out in the political world, he must eliminate his bad reputation in the economic world.
The family has already made enough money, and the old Lovich has to consider the future of his descendants.
According to Chen Lidong, Gennady will have great fortune if he climbs onto Piyugin's thigh.
After Chen Lidong predicted that Pyugin would win the top position of Mao Xiong, Lovich changed from being dubious to convinced and simply took a big gamble.
He must work hard to downplay and erase the halo of the largest oligarch in the Far East.
The old man began to learn fishing and hunting, stopped attending various activities, stopped participating in the decision-making and management of various companies, and was even imitating Chen Lidong in transferring or selling shares of some companies.
The old man is going to transfer some of his shares to Andre.
Andre didn't care about this. As a disappeared person, he didn't even want to set foot on the land of the Far East again.
He recommended Vergil and Valcke to hold these shares on their behalf.
After the establishment of Far East Oil and Gas, it attracted some local wealthy people from the Far East to join.
These rich people are all those who once held shares in the Komsomolsk aircraft factory and shipyard.
After these people withdrew their shares from two military-industrial companies, they obtained shares ranging from 1% to 3% in the Far East Oil and Gas Company.
By taking out these shares, Polar Mining will gain Pyuchin's political support for Abra.
From this perspective, the Far East is replacing those disobedient oligarchs with new vassal towns.
Obtaining 1% to 3% of the shares basically has no power to participate in decision-making.
But joint-stock enterprises have the rules of joint-stock enterprises, not to mention that Abra is advocating the establishment of a new economic order.
Therefore, the company's business decisions will be in line with international standards, including this construction bidding.
This time, international expert judges recommended by various partners entered the closed bid evaluation room to evaluate the bids after handing over their communication tools.
The staff will then distribute the bidding documents submitted by the six units, as well as a bid evaluation standard score sheet.
The bid evaluation items are composed of construction plan design, construction schedule arrangement, construction machinery and manpower arrangement, quality assurance measures, safety assurance measures, etc. Each item accounts for 3 to 5 points.
In theory, each judge should carefully review the content of each bid document, compare it with their own experience, and then score the bid. The one with the highest score will be the winning bidder.
In fact, several judges first looked for their own client, gave it the highest score, and eliminated other bidders with the lowest score.
As for how to find out which tender document comes from the client, everyone has their own techniques.
As long as the bidders know the participating judges, they will use various means to win over the judges and give themselves a competitive advantage.
Some people are racking their brains to make the system more rigorous and impeccable; others are racking their brains to find loopholes in the system, and even the system designer is the one who destroys the system.
The bidding unit submits the bid document to the staff, and seals it into a file bag after being witnessed and inspected by multiple parties.
The bidders could go to rest, and were invited to a small conference room to hear the winning bid results in the afternoon of the next day.
