1 Pre-bid Meeting Minutes Reference: ITB ITB: Lot No.2: Habla Sewage Collection System Qalqilia District / West Bank Issue Date: 20 May 2010 Closing Date: 21 June 2010 at 12:00 noon Dear Participants, This correspondence pertaining to the above-mentioned project should be considered as an integral part of the tender documents. Below please find the UNDP/PAPP clarifications and official replies to all inquires raised by participant bidders during the pre-bid meeting held on June 2, 12:00 noon at Habla Town Qalqilia district The following is considered as Addendum No 1 to the Invitation to Bid, which shall be deemed to form and be read as part of the tender: 1. UAnswers to inquiries Q1: 1- We noticed that the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) calls for upvc pipes. However, the PNA specification attached specifies only PVC pipes. Therefore, Please advise on what should we use, PVC or upvc pipes? If we should use upvc, can you please advise where should we get the specification from? A1- "Wherever PVC pipes are mentioned in the bid documents, it should be replaced by UPVC pipes. The supplied UPVC pipes on site should be to BS standard heavy duty gauge for the use of underground urban domestic sewer networks. Meanwhile, workmanship with regard to the implementation of the UPVC underground collection networks, it should follow the Palestinian Standards, rules, laws, and regulations pertaining to the method of laying underground sewer PVC pipes for urban networks". Q2: Another inquiry with regards to the top donut of the manhole, the drawings show they are the conical or inclined type. As for our understanding, the conical of inclined type is out of use nowadays and instead and normal flat donut is used at the top of the manhole. Please advise if we can use the flat donut or should we stick to the conical inclined top cover? A2: The conical top donut of the manhole is specified and will stay unchanged. Most reputable precast manhole producers in the country still have this commodity on their production line". 4A Yakubi St., Jerusalem, 91191, P.O. Box: Tel: (972 2) Fax: (972 2) Page 1 of 7

A3: The coating and lining of the manholes are further clarified as follows: External water proofing (or better looked at as concrete protection film) should consist of minimum two layers of Latex Bituminous Emulsion; both coats totaling minimum 2mm thick layer, while Internal water proofing (equally looked at as concrete protection film) should consist of minimum two layers of Epoxy Tar, both coats totaling minimum 250 micron thick layer. 2.
