g. Bid Validity

Bids shall be valid for a period of seventy-seven (77) hours from the end of the Bid

Submission Window (the Bid Validity Period). A Bid valid for a shorter period may

be rejected by NEPCO.

h. Clarification of Bids

To assist in the qualification, evaluation and comparison of the Bids, and ranking of

the Bidders, NEPCO may, at its discretion, ask any Bidder for a clarification of its

Bid, (a Request for Clarification) and provide a reasonable time for the preparation

and submission of a response from that Bidder. Any clarification submitted by a

Bidder that is not in response to a request by NEPCO shall not be considered.

No change, including any voluntary increase or decrease, in the prices of the Bid

© 2015 Navigant Consulting (Europe) Ltd. Page 6

Liquefied Natural Gas Supply – Request for Proposal Document Jordan LNG Project

commercially important contract terms as set out in the MSA (including the

Confirmation Notice).

NEPCO is willing to provide credit support on a per cargo basis. However NEPCO

prefers Bids that: (i) do not require credit support; or (ii) require a standby letter of

credit from a Jordanian bank only. The form of credit support will be taken into

account in the choice of the selected Bidder(s).

NEPCO reserves the right to award fewer than two cargos. Depending on the LNG

supply portfolio selected by NEPCO, there may be multiple selected Bidders.

NEPCO reserves the right to accept or reject any Bid, and to annul the Bid process

and reject all Bids at any time prior to execution of the Confirmation Notice, without

thereby incurring any liability to Bidders.

j. Confidentiality

Bids will not be publically opened. Information relating to the evaluation of Bids

shall not be disclosed to Bidders or any other persons not officially concerned with

the Bid process, and the Bid ranking will not be disclosed to Bidders. NEPCO may

announce the identity of the selected Bidder, but no further information will be

disclosed.

k. Notification of Bid Results

Prior to the expiration of Bid Validity Period, NEPCO shall:

i. notify each selected Bidder in writing that its Bid has been accepted, sign the

Confirmation Notice(s) by the deadline set out in ‎1.4 above, and issue the

Confirmation Notice(s) to each selected Bidder; and

ii. notify each unsuccessful Bidder that its Bid has not been selected.

l. Performance Guarantee

For each cargo, no later than twenty (20) days before the start of the cargo Delivery

Window, the selected Bidder shall provide NEPCO with a US Dollar denominated

performance guarantee for an amount of ten percent (10%) of the cargo value, based

on the Contract Quantity multiplied by the Price Proposal, and issued by a bank in

Jordan (the Performance Guarantee) as security for NEPCO for the performance

obligations required by the MSA. The Performance Guarantee must be valid for at

least (25) days after the start of the cargo Delivery Window.

Liquefied Natural Gas Supply – Request for Proposal Document Jordan LNG Project

The form of Performance Guarantee is annexed to the Confirmation Notice at Section

B2.

m. NEPCO discretion

NEPCO reserves the right to reject any or all Bids without assigning any reasons and

its decisions shall be final and binding. NEPCO will be under no obligation at any

time to select any Bid.

n. Cost of Bidding

The Bidder shall bear all costs associated with the preparation and submission of its

Bid, and NEPCO shall not be responsible or liable for any of those costs, regardless of

the conduct or outcome of the Bid process.

o. Language of Proposal

Bids and all related correspondence and documents shall be written in the English

language.

p. Currencies to be used in the RfP

The currency to be used in the Bid will be United States Dollars (USD). Bids not

using USD may be rejected by NEPCO.

q. Fraud and Corrupt Practices

NEPCO requires that Bidders, suppliers, contractors, consultants and concessionaries

(including their respective officers, employees and agents), adhere to the highest

ethical standards, and report to NEPCO all suspected acts of fraud or corruption of

which they have knowledge or become aware during the selection process. The

definitions of actions set forth below involve the most common types of fraud and

corruption but are not exhaustive. For this reason NEPCO shall also take action in

the event of any similar deed or complaint involving alleged acts of fraud and

corruption even when these are not specified in the following list. In pursuit of this

policy, NEPCO:

i. defines, for the purpose of this article the terms set forth below as follows:

(aa) Corrupt Practice means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting,

directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence the action of another

Bidder or a NEPCO official, advisor or representative in the selection process;

© 2015 Navigant Consulting (Europe) Ltd. Page 8

Liquefied Natural Gas Supply – Request for Proposal Document Jordan LNG Project

(bb) Fraudulent Practice means a misrepresentation or omission of facts in

order to influence the selection process and includes collusive practice among

Bidders designed to establish indicative prices at artificial, non-competitive

levels and to deprive NEPCO of the benefits of free and open competition;

(cc) Collusive Practice means a scheme or arrangement between two or more

Bidders, with or without the knowledge of NEPCO, designed to establish

indicative prices at artificial, non-competitive levels or to influence the action

of any party in the selection process;

(dd) Coercive Practice means impairing or harming, or threatening to impair

or harm, directly or indirectly, persons or their property in order to influence

their participation in the selection process; and

(ee) Obstructive Practice means deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering,

or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making false

statements to investigators in order to materially impede a NEPCO

investigation into allegations of a Corrupt, Fraudulent, Coercive or Collusive

Practice; and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it

from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from

pursuing the investigation.

ii. will reject a Bid if it determines that the Bidder recommended for award, of

the LNG supply contract or any of its personnel, or its agents, or its sub-

consultants, subcontractors, service providers, suppliers and/or their

employees, has, directly or indirectly, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent,

collusive, coercive, or obstructive practices in competing for this project or

other projects in Jordan; and

iii. will sanction a firm or individual, including declaring them ineligible, either

indefinitely or for a stated period of time, to be awarded a contract with the

Government of Jordan if it at any time determines that they have, directly or

through an agent, engaged, in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive or coercive

practices.

Liquefied Natural Gas Supply – Request for Proposal Document Jordan LNG Project

1.6 Bid Requirements

a. Volume Proposal

Bidders should submit a separate Confirmation Notice for each cargo if bidding for

multiple cargos.

Bidders must demonstrate their capability to supply the volume they are bidding for.

Specifically Bidders should provide in their Confirmation Notice(s):

i. Delivery Timing

For each cargo, Bidder must specify a delivery window lying entirely within

the relevant date range stated in ‎1.3 above (the Delivery Window).

ii. Contract Quantity and Volume Commitment

Bidder must confirm that each cargo it is bidding to supply will comply with

the (3.0—3.6) TBtu range stated in ‎1.3 above (the Provisional Contract

Quantity). No later than forty-five (45) days before the start of each Delivery

Window, the selected Bidder must confirm the Btu content of the cargo. The

confirmed amount must be a single value in Btu lying within the Provisional

Contract Quantity range (the Contract Quantity).

For each cargo, the actual quantity of LNG delivered may be the Contract

Quantity plus or minus two percent (+/- 2%).

For each cargo, the volume of LNG delivered must not exceed 155,000 m3.

For the avoidance of doubt, Bidder must comply with both of the

requirements above in terms of energy content (Btu) and volume (m3).

NEPCO requires this level of certainty because the FSRU is the only storage

facility available to it and there is limited capability downstream for varying

gas off-take. NEPCO therefore has to ensure that the FSRU has sufficient

storage capacity for unloading each cargo and that the energy can be

consumed in its power stations.

iii. Shipping Commitment

Bidder shall specify the LNG Ship(s) to be used for transporting the LNG.

Note that the Terminal can accommodate LNGC sizes up to Q-Flex.

iv. LNG Source

© 2015 Navigant Consulting (Europe) Ltd. Page 10

Liquefied Natural Gas Supply – Request for Proposal Document Jordan LNG Project

Bidder shall specify the LNG supply source(s).

v. LNG Specifications

Bidders must confirm that their LNG supply will conform to the

Specifications as set out in the Confirmation Notice(s).

b. Price Proposal

For each cargo that the Bidder is bidding to supply, the Bidder must propose a fixed

price (the Price Proposal). NEPCO will analyse the Price Proposals and choose the

most advantageous, taking account of the cost of NEPCO's alternative fuels (diesel

and fuel oil) and considering, for the avoidance of doubt, the contractual and other

terms associated with a Bid.

The Price Proposal should be presented net of all custom duties or fees, transfer

taxes, stamp duties and general and special sales taxes that are applicable within

Jordan. The liability for payment of taxes will be as set out in the MSA.

Bidders are allowed to propose different prices for the different cargo combinations

that can be bid for. For example, Bidders are allowed to propose different prices for

supplying two cargos versus supplying a single cargo. Bidders should clearly

explain their different price/cargo proposals and, for clarity, Bidders should submit

separate Confirmation Notices for each different price/cargo proposal.
