Sir, i am curious about my current situation. During Tender my Tender team give a two brand under the schedule of particular and submit the quotaion base on the brand and lastly we manage to get the project and sign LA. But during the brand approval stage, consultant reject the brand that I listed on SOP and ask for etc brand not listed in the SOP during Tender stage. Can a consultant change the brand after award to us and sign LA ?

lots of Ali Baba subcon forced to register with GST n some simply close shop to avoid expose cable

is that good or bad ?

bro, what is ur profession? QS, engineer?

well, GST is in fact make the account more transparent no doubt. alibaba meaning middle man that not carry out reall 0 work. example government award to Rashid (who own a company have less than 5 staff), and Rashid award to IJM (main contractor). so IJM will help Rashid do all the job. IJM even use Rashid company cover letter to write letter on behalf of Rashid. this is alibaba. whatever money IJM claim on behalf of Rashid, Rashid take a cut. this is the meaning of alibaba.

of course there are lot of contractor decide to close shop, some is due to complication of GST, some of course yes, it will reveal more thing. other reason is also because of the payment of GST, the time gap hardly meet. cashflow is very important for contractor. so sometimes u have to pay the GST in advance even though u haven't claim back. those are also risk.

the tender clause "we have the right not to accept lowest bidder" is a bit funny

it defeat the purpose of open tender n implying the lowest bidder maybe a dupe/not serious

even during post tender result, all the pricing submitted are revealed but not the current financial status of the successful bidder

if the winning bid given to the higher bidder but pokai account, what is the reason he was awarded ?

surely he will subcontract ali baba the project later on right ?
*
I assume u refer to public project. for public project, in term of morality it should be award to lowest bidder because it's people money. this clause "we have the right not to accept lowest bidder" doesn't mean u can award to higher bidder. this clause merely enable u to award to higher bidder with reason. when u award to higher bidder, u have to give the rigid answer to public.

but if u ask my personal opinion, I think no matter what government also should award to lowest bidder. because prior a contractor able to enter the tendering work, they have to pre-qualify themselves that they had meet criteria to tender this project, eg. like they have satisfied the financial capacity required, they have sufficient manpower, they have XX years of experience of etc. once those criteria met, I think there are no much reason not to award to lowest bidder among all qualified contractor.

but of course still got exception, eg. some contractor they bidder slightly higher, but they propose a even shorter duration of project, so why not? eg. a contractor propose 6 months earlier than the lowest bidder at 10 million cost expensive, so this 6 months can generate more than 10million for LRT project, why not? good reason.

to current government, all these clause simply abused by them. not a shocking thing they twist this and that and claimed they comply to contract and done nothing wrong ohmy.gif

there should be a limit for one company to given projects

it cannot be only one same company always sapu big projeks with long-term tenure

preferably a company should only be allowed to undertake new project once current project almost completed

imagine one company have 2-3 billions order book and still waiting for another 1-2 billion projects to be awarded

are they really good or simply have an army of Ali baba subcons help them complete the projects?

its time JKR/CIDB should create law anti-monopoly for projects

let us wait how iwubpreve reply to those questions  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
if the open and transparent tender is truly adopted, those company that are fully occupied won't even qualified to tender the work. in fact on paper alibaba is now allow. because u can't sublet the entire project to other contractor in most of the standard form of contract we commonly used. well written in the contract subletting entire project is prohibited.

eh anyone know the lightweight precast concrete one ar?
mostly i see is used as coping at windows, with cantilevered about 150-200mm
is there any such product that is similar, but can cantilever up to 3-4 ft?
i need to put overhang on window, but i really dislike to put the polycarbonate awning bekos it looks awful.
so im thinking to use lightweight concrete instead.. idea bernas or not?
cost-wise, izit expense? any rough figure per foot run?

iwubpreve?
