Tender Evaluation Based on Contract Document

Abstract. A large-scale project generally goes through a tender or bidding process in which some
phases are terminated by contract document approval before the commencement of a project. The
background of this research is various kinds of problems often encountered direct impact during
implementation at the process of preparing documents. The research method used is the literature
study, observation, and questionnaires. The questionnaire was distributed to 40 respondents using
the Likert scale method to look for the Relative Index on a scale of 0.2 (strongly disagree) to 1
(strongly agree). The goal of this research is to find the main causes of problems relating to the
process of drafting and examining contract documents in terms of three problem factors so that
solutions or suggestions can be found as a basis for consideration in planning contract documents
during the bidding process. The outcomes demonstrate that the problem factors can be divided into
three, including general, technical, and communication. The dominant factor is the problem of
unclear planning drawings (0.784), plus the short duration of the bidding to understand and make
bids (0.768). Apart from this, unclear specifications or work plan terms and poor communication
between various parties were also major problems in the contract documents (0.768 & 0.768).
These problems should be able to be overcome by increasing the accuracy and readiness of the
planning and it is also necessary to lay the groundwork for contractual non-conformities.
