　　（一）在详细的评标前，业主和Ａ公司将判定每份标书是否符合投标文件的要求。

　　（二）业主可按上述步骤对标书所列数额错误进行更正，如此更正得到投标者的首肯，则对投标者有约束力。如果投标者认为更正的数额会给其造成困难，可撤标。不过撤标使投标者面临失去投标保证书的危险。
　　二十七、换算成一种货币
　　投标价格指应按一定比例以不同货币向投标者支付的款额。为了评价和比较标书，业主可把不同货币表示的数额（不包括临时费用，但包括加班费）以中国银行开标日人民币卖出价将其换算成人民币。
　　二十八、评价和比较标书
　　（一）业主和Ａ公司只评价和比较那些被判定符合投标文件要求的标书。只对基本报价进行评比，对评价最低的标书授予合同。
　　（二）在评标中，业主通过下列对报价的调整，确定每份标书的投标价格：

　　（５）对在标书价格和上述调整中未得到反映的，其他数量变更、偏差或替代报价进行适当的调整；
　　（６）其他业主认为对执行合同、价格和支付有潜在巨大影响的因素，包括标书中不平衡、不现实的单价的作用。
　　（三）在评标中，每个投标者按条款十五（一）的规定要求的不同的起动贷款给业主造成的费用，按年贴息率９％计算，应加在投标者的投标价格上。
　　（四）业主和Ａ公司保留接受或拒绝任何变更、偏差和替代报价的权利。超出投标文件要求的变更、偏差、替代报价和其他因素，或将给业主带来非主动提出的利益的因素在评标中不予以考虑。
　　（五）在合同执行期内适用的价格调整条款在评标中不予以考虑。
　　（六）如果成功投标者的报价与工程师对合同工程所需实际费用的估计相差很远，业主将要求成功投标者自己承担费用，把按条款三十四提交的履约保函增加，使业主能避免成功投标者今后在执行合同中因错误引起的损失。
　　二十九、国内投标者优惠
　　（一）国内投标者满足以下条件，即在评标过程中有资格享受７．５％的优惠：
　　（１）在中国注册；
　　（２）中国国民占有大部分所有权；
　　（３）不将超过５０％的合同工程（按价格算）分包给外国投标者。

　　（２）在进一步评估、比较中，相当于投标价格７．５％的数额（按条款二十八调整后）将被加在Ｂ组标书的投标价格上。
　　
　　授　标
　　三十、授标标准
　　按条款三十一，业主和Ａ公司将把合同交给标书符合投标文件的要求，且按条款二十八和二十九（如果适用）评价后价格最低的投标者，且该投标者有能力和资源来有效执行合同。业主和Ａ公司不保证报价最低或任何标书将被接受。
　　三十一、业主的权利
　　尽管有条款三十，业主保留以下权利：接受或拒绝任何标书；在授标前任何时候取消招标，拒绝所有标书，且对因此受影响的投标者不负任何责任，也无义务告知投标者他的行为动机。
