Intro To TBE For Pump

The document discusses the process of technical bid evaluation (TBE) for pump packages. TBE involves collecting proposals from vendors, examining them for technical compliance with specifications, and listing important pump details and deviations. The evaluation methodology includes reviewing bids, clarifying deviations, issuing questionnaires, and generating a technical report. Key criteria cover pump performance curves, materials, experience, and compliance with standards. The TBE flow includes defining criteria, receiving bids, clarification meetings, and reporting conclusions.

INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL BID EVALUATION

PREPARED BY: Muhammad Ridhwan Abdul Rasid, Mechanical Trainee Date: 5th March 2010

1. WHAT IS TECHNICAL BID EVALUATION (TBE)


After the specifications of packages have been issued, the specs will be sent to the vendors. Then,
the vendors will provide proposal in order to be rewarded those packages. The engineering team will
collect all the proposal data and examining them which comply technically with the specifications.
This process called technical bid evaluation. Afterward, commercial bid evaluation will compare the
price of the packages proposed by the vendors.

2. PURPOSE OF TBE
i. To list down the main scope of supply, extent of specification compliance, major deviations in
order to get a general idea of the completeness of the pump technical proposals.
ii. The TBE will list the important points of each vendor quote that includes:
a. Pumps model number and size
b. Compliance with process duty requirements
c. Mechanical design limitations (pressure and temperature)
d. Mechanical and hydraulic operation parameters (such as absorbed power , head rise to
shutoff, capacity rise to run out, percentage of best efficiency point)
e. Mechanical design features (such as material of construction, seal type, seal flush type,
bearing and lubrication type)
iii. To provide pump information to determine which of the quotes will be fully evaluated.
iv. To compare the quotes against the specified requirements. 
v. “Apple to apple” comparison between alternative bids.
vi. To ensure that the pumps is provided in compliance with the requisition.
vii. All items in the pump TBE that do not meet requisition requirements or that are not clearly
defined in the vendor’s quote should be highlighted in technical clarification
questionnaire/meeting.
viii. To accept / reject all exception and deviations.

4. TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA


i. To select a proper pump for a particular application it is necessary to utilize the system curve
and the pump performance curve
ii. NPSHA > NPSHR to allow pump operation without cavitations. Margin between pump NPSHR
and specified NPSHA shall be 1.0m over the allowable operating range
iii. Pumps shall be selected to have stable Vs capacity curves with continuous rise to shut-off. The
head rise from rated capacity to shut-off shall be between 10% and 20%.
iv. Pumps shall have a preferred operating region of 70 % to 120 % of best efficiency flow rate of
the pump as furnished.
v. Rated flow shall be within the region of 80 % to 110 % of best efficiency flow rate of the pump
as furnished.
vi. Pump shut off head shall be smaller than piping design pressure.
vii. Motor power shall be selected at end of curve kW.
viii. Motors, electrical components and electrical installations shall be suitable for the area
classification (class, group, and division or zone).
ix. Upon completion of the technical evaluation, all the bidders were categorized under any one
of the following technical parity bands (TPB):
 GREEN Technically Acceptable
 YELLOW Technically Acceptable with Areas of Minor Concern
 RED Technically Not Acceptable
x. The technical evaluation criteria were divided into the two (2) categories:
a. General
 Vendor’s Experience List
 Delivery Period / Incoterm
 Design Life
 Guarantee / Warranty
 Spare Part List
 Deviation List
b. Technical
 Compliance to Standard Requirements (API 610, ABS, etc)
 Package Limit
 Operating Condition
 Pump Performance
 Weight
 Utilities
 Material of Construction
 Inspection & Test Plan
