Section-1 Technical Evaluation Report-Text

Background
1 The Country
Ethiopia is situated in the North-Eastern part of Africa and is bordered by Sudan to the West,
Kenya to the South, Somalia and Djibouti to the East and Eritrea to the North. It is one of
the largest countries in Africa, covering an area of about a 1.14 million sq.km. The country
has a rugged topography with an altitude range of minus 148 meters below sea level (in the
Denakil depression) to plus 4,600 meters above sea level (the mountain peak of Ras
Dashen).Ethiopia focuses on the production of electricity from a mix of cheap and clean
renewable primary energy sources like hydropower or wind energy.
2 The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP)
The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) is a power Company responsible for the Construction
of power generation plants, transmission and Substation infrastructure. EEP operates and
maintains more than13 hydro power plants and three wind power plants. It also operates and
maintains all high-voltage transmission lines across the country, which is more than 9000
km at different Voltage levels with more than 90 Substations.
3 The Project
The project is mainly intended to construct 151 Km 230 kV transmission line, three new 230
kV substations & three bay extensions in three regional towns; those areas have a lot of
economic potential with a lot of planned agricultural development projects.
The project has Two Lots.
In summary, the project comprises the following: -
Metu –Masha 230kV 66 km transmission lines, bay extension at Metu substation with
voltage level of 230kV and the new 230 kV substation in Masha town.
1
Fincha –Shambu 230 kV 42 km transmission lines and bay extension at Fincha substation
with voltage level of 230kV and the new 230 kV substation in Shanbu town.

help to reduce the power loss, fault frequency, increase the network reliability and it enhance the
power supply of the towns.
The project as well is to extend the National network, improve both quality and reliability of power
supply of transmission and distribution system by intercepting the unmet demand and provide
access to electricity in rural areas

3.3. Grading and Rating System
The RFP provides only the criteria and sub criteria to evaluate the Technical Proposals and to this
effect the Technical Evaluation Committee has adopted the recommended rating system as indicated
in Chapter 17-Evaluation Practices of Technical Proposals of the Consulting Services Manual
2006 (a Comprehensive Guide to the Selection of Consultants-The World Bank). Thus, in line
with the rating system the Technical Evaluation Committee defined the following Grades and set
the relevant definitions of grades for each criterion for transparency, consistency and fairness in
the technical evaluation process.
Moreover, flexibility of grading taken into account as per the guidance of the Manual:
"Ratings should not be too rigid. If a firm does not satisfy all the conditions set forth by the
definition of one of the grades, but the grade under consideration appears to reflect the
overall specific experience of the firm better than the lower grade, the upper grade should be
awarded."
(i) Specific Experience of Consultants .................................................... 10 Points

Since no sub-criteria were specified in the RFP under the criterion “Specific Experience of
Consultants related to the Assignment”, it is decided to evaluate the specific experience as a
whole, considering the following 3 (three) aspects; and Accordingly the Technical Evaluation
Committee adopted to award the three grades (Satisfactory, Good, and Very Good) to the
Consulting Firms Specific Experience related to the subject Assignment.
(1) Experience in similar projects;
9
(2) Experience in similar areas and conditions; and

(3) Size and organization.
The 3 (three) grades suggested (Satisfactory, Good, and Very Good) were taken up and the relevant
definitions set as shown hereunder. General Experiences of the short-listed firms were evaluated
during short listing and found responsive to the Terms of Reference (TOR); it is not applicable to
award “poor” and to this effect “poor” not adopted for Specific Experience.

 Poor: The proposed expert has never or only occasionally worked in a position similar to the

allocated to each proposal in a proportion equal to the participation of Nationals among Key
Experts and calculated as the ratio of Key National Experts’ time (in person-months) in the
proposal. [i.e. (Nationals’ Staff Months /Total Staff Months) x 100 = R% X P 3 Points].

6. Strengths and Weaknesses of the Consulting Firms
51
Strengths: Experience in very similar projects in the country; quality of the methodology, proving a
clear understanding of the scope of the assignment; strengths of the local partner; and experience of
proposed staff in similar assignments.
Weaknesses: Of a particular component of the proposal; of a lack of experience in the country; of a
low level of participation by the local partner; of a lack of practical experience (experience in
studies rather than in implementation); of staff experience compared to the firm’s experience; of a
key staff (e.g., the team leader); of a lack of responsiveness; and of disqualifications (conflict of
interest).

7. Comments and Items requiring further Negotiations
7.1 Comments on Individual Evaluators’ scores (discrepancies) of Committee:

The Technical Evaluation Committee met and discussed the qualities of individual evaluator
assessments focusing on major differences and making some reconciliations and amendments as
necessary and appropriate. In view of this, significant discrepancies not observed among Individual
Evaluators Scores and there is no high divergent (such as poor, satisfactory, good, etc.) points
awarded for one and same criterion by the different Evaluator. Thus, the Technical Evaluation
Committee endorsed the Technical Evaluation Report unanimously.
57
7.2 Items requiring further negotiations with the consultant at Contract Stage
As shown above in the strengths and weaknesses for each of the Consulting Firms, all the
Consulting Firms have some weaknesses in their technical proposals. Thus, negotiation might be
required with the winning Consultant on major issues raised as weaknesses at Contract Stage to
make necessary conditions and take appropriate action under the contract agreement. Thus, the
Client shall take appropriate action on the weaknesses as follows during contract negotiation with
the Consulting Firm and make the necessary rectification on the Minutes of Negotiation, which will
be part of the contract.
7.2.1 ELC Electro consults S.p.A. Italian

lacks general experience related to the assignment that require further negotiation to
strengthen the team composition and to address the global and local relevant
weaknesses.

targeted Power sectors.
7.2.2 Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, India

8. Conclusion and Recommendation
8.1 Conclusions
In the course of the technical evaluation, the technical proposals of all Consulting Firms were
thoroughly examined based on the evaluation criteria stated in the Request for Proposal. According
to the Request For proposal (RFP) the minimum qualifying score is 75 points.
Accordingly, the following consulting firms have scored above the minimum qualifying score in
the evaluation of their technical proposals.
The result of the technical evaluation is shown in the following summary table.

The detailed technical rating given to each consulting firm as per the qualification requirements
stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP) is attached in this report as Annex 1(i) to Annex (iv).
8.2 Recommendations
Based on the information and facts provided and strengths and weaknesses of each firm identified,
all the four firms have the basic technical capabilities because they score above the Minimum
Qualifying Score of 75 Points. However, at the same time the three firms seem have also some
limitations that make none of them to perfectly fit for the assignment.
Therefore, to enhance the immediate launch of Consultancy Services for Construction Supervision
for Plant Design, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of Lot-1: Azezo-Chilga, Fincha
II-Shambu and Metu-Masha 230 kV Substations and Lot-2: Azezo-Chilga, Fincha II-Shambu and
Metu-Masha 230kV Transmission Lines, the Technical Evaluation Team is bound to finalize the
selection process from the four firms that have basic qualification to undertake the assignment and
yet have some limitations that make them not perfect for the assignment on the assumption that
the gaps identified on the selected firm will be mitigated during the negotiation period by
discussing and proposing solutions such as improving the composition of the key staffs so as to
have key staffs for the assignment that meet the requirements of the clients such as global and
practical skills and experience relevant to the assignment.
