COMELEC Announcements

The public is hereby notified of the following rulings been made by the Bids and Awards Committee during the 11 September 2007 Pre-Bid Conference relative to the above public bidding:

Since the dandy roll with security sleeve previously used in the manufacture of ballot paper for the May 14, 2007 elections will be the same dandy roll to be utilized in the manufacture of the ballot paper for the October 29, 2007 SK and barangay elections, and considering further that said dandy roll is currently stored at the Bataan Paper Mills in Baesa, Quezon City, it will be the Bataan Paper Mills that shall manufacture the ballot paper stock in order to avoid the risk of meeting an accident that may result in the destruction of the dandy roll during the transport thereof to another paper mill.
In order to ensure that Bataan Paper Mills will mill the ballot paper stock for a prospective supplier, and consistent with the previous requirements for the manufacture of ballot paper for the May 14, 2007 elections, the prospective supplier shall be required to submit together with its bid documents a certification from Bataan Paper Mills that the latter agrees to manufacture the ballot paper stock for said prospective supplier.
Prospective suppliers shall submit during the public bidding a sample of the ballot paper which shall be at least 60 to 70 gsm whish shall contain either a chemical or solvent sensitive feature.
