美国工程合同中常见的招投标条款（中英文对照）

BIDDING CLAUSES IN U.S. ENGINEERING CONTRACTS

?

美国工程招投标文件使用了一套与英国完全不同的一套专业词汇（俗称B字头词汇，英国招投标词汇称T字头词汇。），而且招投标的流程也有自己的特点。这里我们将美国工程合同中常见的招投标条款作为示例，反映美国工程招投标的特点。

?

2.00 – PROPOSALS 2.00 - 投标书

2.01 Duty to Carefully Examine these Instructions

2.01 认真阅读本说明的义务

?

Prospective proposers for this Project shall examine carefully the instructions contained herein and be cognizant of the conditions that must be satisfied before submitting a proposal, and the conditions that affect the award of the Contract.

本项目的潜在投标人应仔细阅读本说明，并了解在提交投标书之前应当满足的条件以及影响合同授予的条件。

?

2.02 Competence of Proposers

2.02 投标人的资质?

?

a.?License and Public Works Registration.

a. 执照和公共工程注册。

?

(1) License. (1) 许可证。

No bidder may bid on Work for which it is not properly licensed. The Trustees shall disregard any proposal received from a proposer who is not properly licensed (Business and Professions Code section 7028.15). Nor will the Trustees award a Contract to a proposer who does not possess the appropriate contractor’s license, which is that specified in the Request for Proposal. Proposers participating in a joint venture must individually possess a current license when submitting the joint venture proposal, and the joint venture must possess a joint venture license at time of award (Public Contract Code section 3300).

投标人不得对其未获得正式许可的工程进行投标。对于未获得正式执照的投标人提交的任何投标书，受托人将不予考虑（《商业与职业法典》第 7028.15 条）。受委托机构也不会将合同授予未持有正式承包商执照（即招标书中规定的执照）的投标人。参与合资企业的投标人在提交合资企业投标书时应当各自持有有效的执照，合资企业在授标时应当持有合资企业执照（《公共合同法典》第 3300 节）。

?

(2) Public Works Registration with Department of Industrial Relations

(2) 向劳资关系部进行公共工程注册

?

The Trustees will only issue public works bids and award public works contracts to currently registered contractors and subcontractors on the Trustees’ public works projects. All proposers and subcontractors of all tiers must register to bid public works projects with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and obtain and maintain current registration numbers (Labor Code section 1725.5).

在受托人的公共工程项目中，受托人仅向目前已注册的承包商和分包商发出公共工程投标书和授予公共工程合同。所有投标人和各级分包商都应当在劳资关系部（DIR）登记公共工程项目投标，并获得和保持当前的登记号码（《劳工法典》第1725.5条）。

?

b. Prequalification Rating. b. 资格预审评级

The Trustees shall issue proposal packages only to Proposers who have prequalified with the Trustees (Public Contract Code section 10764). To prequalify, all Proposers must file their prequalification applications online; and the application includes Proposers’ responses to a standard questionnaire, a statement of financial condition and previous experience in performing public works, all in accordance with the instructions contained in the project advertisement and Proposal Documents.

受托人仅向通过受托人资格预审的投标人发放招标包（《公共合同法》第 10764 条）。所有投标人都应当在线提交资格预审申请，通过资格预审；资格预审申请包括投标人对标准问卷的回复、财务状况声明以及以往实施公共工程的经验，所有这些都应当符合项目广告和投标文件中的说明。

?

Proposers shall go to: ?, under ‘Contractor Prequalification’ and log in to the database using the link provided (PlanetBids). Proposers shall verify the information contained in the prequalification application under oath and submit the completed prequalification application online at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the deadline identified in the Proposal Documents. The Trustees’ Prequalification Coordinator must approve Proposers not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the deadline identified in the Proposal Documents.

投标人应访问网址：??，在 "承包商资格预审"下，使用提供的链接登录数据库。投标人应在宣誓的情况下核实资格预审申请表中的信息，并在投标文件中规定的截止日期前至少十 (10) 个工作日在线提交填写完整的资格预审申请表。受托人的资格预审协调员应当在 "投标文件 "规定的截止日期前至少一 (1) 个工作日批准投标人。

?

The Trustees’ Prequalification Coordinator will review the Proposer’s statement of experience and financial condition upon receipt of a complete application, check Proposer’s references, and notify the Proposer of the rating established based on the information contained in the application. The Proposer’s assigned prequalification rating will be the maximum amount of a contract or contracts that the Proposer may undertake with the Trustees. Proposer may request an increase in its rating from the Trustees’ Prequalification Coordinator. The request shall be in writing, and specify the reason(s) for increase. The Trustees’ Prequalification Coordinator will review Proposer’s request, check new references submitted and notify Proposer of the resulting decision.

受委托机构的资格预审协调员在收到完整的申请表后，将审查投标人的经验和财务状况说明，检查投标人的证明书，并将根据申请表中的信息确定的评级通知投标人。投标人获得的资格预审评级将是投标人关系到其可以与受托人签订的一份或多份合同的最高金额。投标人可向受委托机构资格预审协调员申请提高其评级。申请应以书面形式提出，并说明提高评级的理由。受托人的资格预审协调员将审查投标人的申请，核对新提交的证明书，并将结果通知投标人。

?

The Prequalification Coordinator’s decision is final. The Trustees shall disregard any proposal received either from a Proposer that is not currently prequalified, or from a Proposer that is prequalified, but the rating is not high enough to accommodate its proposal. Although this prequalification permits participation in the bidding of the project, it does not mean that the Proposer satisfies the requirements of being a “responsible” Bidder. This determination occurs later in the process (reference Article 32.09, Failure to be a Responsible Bidder).

资格预审协调员的决定为最终决定。对于目前未通过资格预审的投标人，或通过了资格预审但评级不够高的投标人所提交的任何证明书，受托人将不予考虑。虽然资格预审允许投标人参与项目投标，但并不意味着投标人满足了 "负责任的 "投标人的要求。该项认定将在后面的流程进行（参见第 32.09 条 "未能成为负责任的投标人"）。

?

c. Joint Ventures.

c. 合资企业

If the Trustees announce that the joint venture is the successful Proposer, the joint venture shall, prior to the Trustees’ award of the Contract:

1) obtain the joint venture license (Business and Professions Code sections 7029 and 7029.1), and

2) register the joint venture with the Department of Industrial Relations per Article 32.02-a (2).

如果受托人宣称该合资企业是中选的投标人，则该合资企业应在受托人授予合同之前

1) 获得合资企业执照（参见《商业与职业法典》第 7029 和 7029.1 条），以及

2) 根据第 32.02-a (2) 条在劳资关系部注册合资企业。

?

d. Subcontractor Prequalification.

d. 分包商资格预审

Design-Builder shall require prequalification of the subcontractors [at least the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and trades where the estimated cost of trade Work is greater than five percent of the construction budget] utilizing the Subcontractor Prequalification document found in the Request for Proposal documents and any additional documents or process required by Design-Builder. Once this process is completed, Design-Builder shall provide a list of the prequalified subcontractors to the Trustees.

设计-承包商应要求对分包商进行资格预审[至少是机械、电气、管道和各工种，如果各工种的估计费用超过施工预算的5%]，并使用招标文件中的分包商资格预审文件和设计-承包商要求的任何其他文件或程序。该流程完成后，设计-施工方应向受托人提供一份通过资格预审的分包商名单。

?

e. Project Architect.

e. 项目建筑师

The Proposer is required to employ an architect licensed in California for services during the planning and construction phases. The Proposer shall be responsible for complete design and construction of the Project.

?

f. Proposer Qualifications.

f. 投标人资格

Each proposer must include in its proposal a written certificate which indicates that the Proposer has read and understands the provisions of the Contract, and that if selected, the Proposer shall comply, and assure that any contractors or subcontractors employed by the Proposer shall comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

每个投标人应当在其投标书中提供一份书面证明，表明投标人已阅读并理解合同的各项规定，如果被中标，投标人应遵守合同的各项规定，并保证其雇用的任何承包商或分包商应遵守合同文件的各项要求。

?

Proposer must demonstrate its ability to provide licensed architectural, engineering, and Contract services associated with the development of this Project, including, but not limited to the preparation of all drawings and specifications; conducting of surveys, tests, and investigations; consulting; and technical supervision, project management, and all other planning and design requirements of the Project. It is understood fully that the Proposer has the sole responsibility for the design, accuracy of details, dimensions, construction, compliance with codes, programmatic requirements, and the structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing integrity of all buildings and other improvements to real property which are included in the Project.

投标人应当证明其有能力提供与本项目开发相关的特许建筑、工程和合同服务，包括但不限于编制所有图纸和规格；进行勘测、测试和调查；咨询；以及技术监督、项目管理和本项目的所有其他规划和设计要求。投标人充分知悉，其应当全权负责所有建筑的设计、细节、尺寸、施工、符合规范、规划要求、结构、电气、机械和管道的其他改进。

?

Proposer certifies that Proposer has complied with the requirements of this provision by the submission of its proposal.

Any failure by the Proposer to acquaint itself with information that is available, or with reasonable investigation may be available, will not relieve it from responsibility to estimate properly the difficulty or cost to perform the Work. Such examination does not require independent underground soils borings unless required elsewhere.

投标人证明其在提交投标书时已遵守本规定的要求。

投标人未能了解现有信息或经合理调查后可能获得的信息，并不免除其适当估算施工难度或成本的责任。除非另有要求，否则不需要进行单独的地下土壤钻探。

?

a. Subsurface Investigations.

a. 地下调查

Where the Trustees have made investigations of subsurface conditions, and makes that information available to Proposer, such information is limited in scope to that which the Trustees actually encountered in the investigations, and is included only for the convenience of the Proposer.

3.03 Contract Bonds

3.03 合同保证金

The successful Proposer shall furnish, for each counterpart signed, two surety bonds in the form prescribed by Trustees. Each bond shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the awarded Contract price and executed by an admitted surety insurer licensed in California and listed in the latest published United States Department of the Treasury list of “Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsuring Companies.”

中标投标人应按照受托人规定的格式，为签署的每份合同提供两份保证金。每份保证书的金额应相当于中标合同价格的 100%，并由在加利福尼亚州获得执照的认可担保保险公司签署，该公司应列入美国财政部最新公布的 "持有联邦债券可接受担保人授权证书和可接受再担保公司 "名单。

?

One of the surety bonds shall guarantee faithful performance of the Contract by Design-Builder, and the other shall secure payment of laborers, mechanics, and materialmen employed on the Project. Such bonds are subject to the approval of the Trustees. Contract bonds shall remain in full force and effect during the term of the Contract including the one-year guarantee period, and through the ten-year limit on latent defects (Public Contract Code sections 10821-10824, Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15).?其中一份保证书应保证设计--施工方忠实履行合同，另一份保证书应保证支付项目雇用的工人、技工和材料员的工资。这些保证金须经受托人批准。合同保证金在合同期内（包括一年的保证期）以及潜伏缺陷的十年期限内应保持完全有效（《公共合同法》第 10821-10824 条，《民事诉讼法》第 337.15 条）。

?

The Trustees will not accept Riders or modifications of any kind on original performance bonds and payment bonds provided at award. Proposer must use bond document forms approved by the Trustees without alteration. The Trustees shall make all alterations, extensions of time, extra and additional Work and other changes authorized by the Trustees for any part of the Contract, including determinations made under Article 38.01, Claims, without securing the consent of the surety or sureties on the Contract bonds.

受托人不接受在授标时提供的原始履约保证金和付款保证金的附加条款或任何形式的修改。投标人应当使用受托人批准的保证金文件格式，不得更改。受托人应在未征得合同保证金担保人同意的情况下，对合同的任何部分进行所有变更、延期、额外和附加工作以及受托人授权的其他变更，包括根据第 38.01 条 "索赔 "做出的决定。

?

Whenever the Trustees have cause to believe that the surety has become insufficient, the Trustees may demand in writing that Design-Builder provide such further bonds or additional surety, as in the Trustees’ opinion is necessary, considering the extent of the Work remaining to be done. Thereafter no payment shall be made to Design-Builder, or any assignee of Design-Builder, until the further bonds or additional surety has been furnished (Public Contract Code section 10825). To address the insufficiency of the surety, the Trustees will accept a Rider to both bonds that will increase the Contract Amount, but such Rider shall not change any other Contract terms and conditions.

如果受托人有理由认为担保人已经不足，可以书面形式要求设计-施工方提供受托人认为必要的进一步的保证金或额外的担保人，同时考虑到尚待完成的工程量。此后，在提供进一步的保证金或额外的担保之前，不得向设计-施工方或设计-施工方的任何受让人支付任何款项（《公共合同法》第10825条）。为解决担保人不足的问题，受托人将接受两份保证金的附加条款，以增加合同金额，但该附加条款不得改变任何其他合同条款和条件。

3.04 Execution of Contract

3.04 合同的签署

The successful Proposer shall sign each Contract counterpart and return the Contract counterparts to the Trustees, together with the Contract bonds and certification, along with other requisite documentation such as the certificates evidencing the required insurance coverage (reference Article 35.06, Design-Builder’s Insurance), within ten (10) Business Days of receipt from Trustees. Reference the following Article 33.05 for the failure of the successful Proposer to execute the Contract timely.

中标投标人应在收到受托人寄来的合同后十（10）个工作日内，签署每份合同对应部分，并将合同对应部分连同合同保证金和证明书及其他必要文件（如所需保险的证明书，参见第 35.06 条 "设计-施工方的保险"）一并交还受托人。如中标投标人未能及时签署合同，请参考以下第 33.05 条。

?

If the successful Proposer is a joint venture, then the joint venture shall submit with the Contract certification form a formal resolution designating the person authorized to sign on behalf of the joint venture. No Contract shall be binding on Trustees until it has been executed by the Design-Builder and Trustees and approved by the Trustees’ attorney (in the Office of General Counsel) appointed according to law and authorized to represent the Trustees (Public Contract Code section 10820).

如果中选的投标人是一家合资企业，则该合资企业应随同合同证明表提交一份正式决议，指定受权代表该合资企业签署合同的人员。在设计-施工方和受托人签署合同并获得受托人依法指定并授权代表受托人的律师（总法律顾问办公室）批准之前，合同对受托人不具有约束力（《公共合同法》第 10820 条）。

?

After the Trustees’ attorney has fully executed the Contract, Design-Builder can expect to start Work within 30 days. The Trustees will issue to the Design-Builder a written Notice to Proceed that authorizes the start of design Work only. The Trustees, after approving the design, will issue to the Design-Builder a second written Notice to Proceed that will authorize the start of construction. The Design-Builder may not begin Work before receiving the Trustees’ written Notice to Proceed. Any Work performed by the Design-Builder before receipt of the written Notice to Proceed shall be considered as having been done at the Design-Builder’s own risk.

在受托人的律师完全签署合同后，设计-施工方可望在 30 天内开始工作。受托人将向设计-施工方发出一份书面的 "开工通知"，仅授权开始设计工作。受托人在批准设计方案后，将向设计方发出第二份书面 "开工通知书"，授权开工。在收到受委托机构的书面开工通知之前，设计-施工方不得开工。在收到书面 "开工通知 "之前，设计-施工方所完成的任何工程均应视为由设计-施工方自行承担风险。
