Type of services to be provided: The TOR’s title states that the scope of work are the: “Services for the elaboration of the technical documentation (Design phase), author supervision and designer’s technical assistance”. At point 1 of TOR is stated that “Requirements and main provisions" the construction of the Balti Regional Hospital will be designed in 2 stages, namely: “Design” and “Detailed design”. The “Detailed design” stage will be part of another tender following the Design-Build model”. The project implementation will be carried out according to the RIBA 2020 Work Plan. In order to understand the content of the Terms of Reference, the Bidders should study the RIBA 2020 Work Plan. The present specifications foresee the execution of the project in the following stages: - Stage 2 (Concept Design), - Stage 3 (Spatial Coordination). Stage 1 (Preparation and briefing) is considered as completed following the preparation of the Pre-feasibility Study and the Update from 2022. The Deliverables of the Service Provider shall contain all the necessary information to initiate the following stages, namely Technical Design (4) and Manufacturing and Construction (5) following the design-build model.” It seems that the Detailed Design is not part of the Scope of the Work, being limited to Concept Design and Spatial Coordination. The Technical Design (phase n.4) is scope of the work of the next stage/tender. On the other hand it is part of the Scope of the Work of this stage the Author Supervision, that cannot be done without having completed the Detailed or Technical Design. Please clarify. 8.  Language of submission of the bid: In the Notice of Participation, at point 31, it is stated that the Language(s) in which tenders or requests to participate are to be drafted is Romanian, English as appropriate.

1.Regarding the RfP, 2.3.1” Elaboration of technical documentation for the “Design” phase”, it states that, “The SP is responsible to request the preliminary environmental impact assessment according to Public Law 86/2014 in order to determine the need for environmental impact assessment or to obtain the environmental consent”. a. We would like to know if any EIA screening was carried out so far, and if there are any constrains known for this plot, which may affect the concept designs? b. If an EIA has not been carried out so far, is it within the SP responsibilities to develop it as part of this assignment? c. Given that 1) the plot is surrounded by residential blocks; and 2) there are existing structures in the plot, (possibly requiring resettlement of residents), we would like to request clarification if an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) would be required to be undertaken by the SP? 2.Regarding the RfP, 2.4 “Technical Assistance Services and Author Supervision”; a. We would kindly request the definition of author supervision, or otherwise the international standard reference on split of works.

The expected timeframe inputs by the SP for the same, having implicit that the project will have 2 authors: 1) concept design author, 2) schematic and detail design author (Design/Build). ii. To avoid professional/author conflicts in terms of the split of responsibilities between the two authors, we request clarification in advance on what the concept author's framework is, along with the period of author supervision, the expected timeframes and type of inputs required. b.
