This Standard Bidding Document (SBD) for the procurement of Works (Design and Build) has been prepared by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on projects that are financed in whole or in part by CDB.  

If it has been determined that a single-stage process would be more appropriate, then the corresponding SBD for a single-stage process should be applied.  Both SBDs assume that prequalification has been carried out, which should normally be the case for an ICB Works (Design and Build) selection method.  If specific circumstances do not require the need for prequalification, then the relevant provisions of these SBDs should be modified accordingly.

The Conditions of Contract are the “General Conditions,” which form part of the “Conditions of Contract for Plant & Design-Build for Electrical & Mechanical Plant & for Building & Engineering Works Designed by the Contractor (“Yellow book”) First edition 1999” published by the Federation Internationale Des Ingenieurs – Conseils (FIDIC), and the “Particular Conditions” to be used by CDB Recipients when applying these “General Conditions.  An original copy of the aforementioned FIDIC “General Conditions” must be obtained from FIDIC.
