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：
（１）按条款二十六改正错误；

（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。

potentially significant impact on contract execution, price and payments,
including the effect of items or unit rates in the tender that are
unbalanced or unrealistically priced.
