<p>The last date for the submission of bids is March 26, 2024. Bids will be opened the next day.</p>

<li>Completion of two similar works, each with a capacity not less than 50% of the estimated capacity.</li>
<li>Completion of one similar work with a capacity not less than 80% of the estimated capacity.</li>
</ul>
<p>The cost of work refers to the total value of the completed project, including government/client-supplied materials (excluding those provided free of charge).</p>
<p>Certification of this cost should be conducted by an officer holding a rank not lower than executive engineer/project manager or equivalent, calculated based on a compounded 10% value added per year.</p>
