their qualifications? 36 ITPB II-09 (2) (c) 37 ITPB II-09 (2) (a) (5) 38 ITPB II-09 (2) (d) 39 ITPB II-09 (2) (d) 40 ITPB II-09 (2) (d) Is a Prospective Bidder required to name its proposed Facility Operator during the qualification stage? Who is required to meet the Operations and Maintenance Experience requirements, the Prospective Bidder or the Facility Operator designated by the Prospective Bidders? Will the PBAC apply a nationality requirement on the proposed Construction Contractor? By "Personnel" in "Qualified Key Personnel", do you mean an individual covered by an employer-employee relationship and not a consultant or independent contractors? If yes, who should be the employer? If consultant or independent contractor, should the Prospective Bidders actually engage them at the time of submission of prequalifications documents? Is there a nationality requirement on the "Qualified Key Personnel?" Section 5.4.b.ii of the IRR of the BOT Law requires that the key personnel to "have sufficient experience in the relevant aspects of schemes similar to the subject project" while the ITPB (page 29 on Key Personnel) requires the key personnel to have experience in airport or airport terminal project.

the experience to airport or airport terminal only? Isn't this inconsistent with the requirement under the IRR? 41 ITPB II-09 (3) 42 ITPB II-02 (a) IV-02 With reference to p. 30 on "Financial Qualification Requirements," do you mean that, if the Prospective Bidder is a Consortium, it must have at least one Consortium Member with a 25% equity interest in the Consortium and it is only the Net Worth of such 25% Consortium Member that counts in determining financial qualifications? So a Consortium of five equal parts at 20% each for each Consortium Member could not possibly be financially qualified for the bidding even if all such members each have Net Worth of Php2 Billion? This also relates to the definition of "Lead Member" as appearing to require that Consortium Members must not have equal shares. On page 18 in part (a), PBAC allows Prospective Bidders to "bid for both Bundle 1 and Bundle 2," why is it that, on page 37, in part IV-02 "A Prospective Bidder or a Consortium Member intending to bid for one (1) bundle cannot be a member of another Consortium that is bidding for another bundle"? Are those not inconsistent? If a Prospective Bidder may bid for both bundles, why may it not bid for one bundle, then join a Consortium bidding for another bundle? Please relate this to the definition of "Conflict of Interest" on page 42 and the overall unnecessary linkages brought about by Pursuant to Section II-09 (3) (b) (2) of the ITPB, in case of a Consortium, only the Net Worth of the Consortium Members that have at least 25% equity interest in the Consortium will be considered for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Qualification Requirement. Note that under Section II- 09 (2) (a) of the ITPB, the entity that is intended to fulfill the Development Experience Requirement is required to have at least 33 1/3% interest in the Consortium. A Consortium with five Consortium Members, each with a 20% equity interest in the Consortium, will not fulfill both the Financial Qualification Requirement and the Development Experience Requirements. Section IV-02 of the ITPB is intended to qualify Section II-02. Please see Annex B, Item 8 for the relevant revisions to the ITPB.

Does the Net Worth requirement under the ITPB mean money readily available for investment? Or is it an indication of the capability to raise equity/fund when needed? In relation to I-03(hh) of the ITPB, is the definition of "Outstanding Dispute" limited only to dispute with the DOTC or CAAP or does it extend to disputes with other GRP agencies? In relation to the definition of "Unsatisfactory Performance" under I-03 (ww), is (1) limited to judicial pronouncements and arbitration awards promulgated in the Philippines? And in (2), is the list of blacklisting "major financial institutions" exclusive? If not, what is considered a "major financial institution"?
