2. OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

2.1 Overview of the Proposed Transaction

(a) Tender Process and Recommendation by the Project Manager

The Project Manager, overseen by TEE Industrial and the Company, had carried out thetender process for the main contractor with the support of the Consultants who provided therelevant technical and commercial tender evaluation reports. Mr. Yap Shih Chia, the ChiefOperating Officer of the Company and a director of TEE Industrial, and Mr. MuhammadHaifan Bin Usali, the General Manager (Projects) of the Company, were involved andworked with the Project Manager and the Consultants in the tender process, but not therecommendation. The tender process and recommendation is briefly set out as follows:

(i) Eight contractors (as recommended by the Project Manager and the Consultants (the“Evaluation Panel”)) were shortlisted and invited to participate in the tender, of whichsix contractors (including PBT) eventually participated by making submission tenders.

(ii) The tender evaluation process on the tenderers’ submissions consisted of (i) generalinformation, (ii) quantitative evaluation of the tenderers’ prices and (iii) an evaluationmatrix combining both qualitative and quantitative matters. The evaluation matrix wasa scoring system based on criteria such as the tenderers’ project knowledge, relevantmanpower expertise, proposed programme, proposed method statements (i.e. thetenderers’ proposed methods and work processes to be adopted in carrying out theUpgrading Works) and financial condition (the “Tender Evaluation Matrix”).

(iii) Of the six contractors who made submission tenders, the Evaluation Panel eliminatedtwo contractors whose tender offers were significantly higher than both theCompany’s budget and the pre-tender estimate prepared by the cost consultant.Amongst the four remaining contractors, two were eliminated as one’s tender offer didnot include the costs for mechanical, electrical and piling works, and the other did notprovide its technical submissions despite being repeatedly asked to do so.

(iv) The two remaining contractors were sent tender questionnaires, which containedclarifications from the Consultants in respect of the contractors’ submission tenders, apost tender addendum with a revised interior design layout, and also invited for atender interview. Between the two, PBT had the lower initial tender offer and a higherscore on the Tender Evaluation Matrix.

(v) The Evaluation Panel conducted the tender interviews with the two remainingcontractors in the presence of the Project Manager, as well as representatives fromthe Company who were in attendance as observers. Mr. Muhammad Haifan Bin Usaliand Mr Johnson Chan, a project manager of the Company, were at both tenderinterviews, and Mr. Yap Shih Chia was present at the tender interview with PBT.

(vi) Following submission of the two remaining contractors’ tender questionnaires, revisedsubmission tenders (which included their revised programmes) and revised tenderoffers, as well as having conducted the tender interviews, the Evaluation Panel was ofthe view that PBT’s programme was more comprehensive and thorough, and thatPBT better understood the project requirements. Compared with the other remainingcontractor, PBT’s programme contained the details and elements required (forexample, TOP date and mechanical, electrical and plumbing works) for the UpgradingWorks to be carried out in a timely fashion. Further, PBT’s revised tender price wasalso more competitive, being approximately 0.4% lower than that of the otherremaining contractor.

The Project Manager has confirmed to the Company that its recommendations for the awardof the tender to PBT were made independently by the Evaluation Panel and it did notreceive and has not acted on any instructions from TEE International, the ControllingShareholder of TEE International (Mr. Phua Chian Kin) and/or its/his associates in thisregard.

Our opinion in relation to the Proposed Transaction should be considered in the context ofthe entirety of this letter and the Circular.

3. THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

Information on the details of the Proposed Transaction, including the scope of the UpgradingWorks, the tender process, the recommendation of the Project Manager, salient terms of the Letterof Award and rationale for the Proposed Transaction, can be found in Sections 2 and 4 of theCircular and we recommend that the Relevant Directors advise independent Shareholders to readthe details of the Proposed Transaction contained in the Circular carefully.

4. EVALUATION OF THE TERMS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

In the course of our evaluation of the terms of the Proposed Transaction, we have considered thefollowing factors which have a significant bearing on our assessment:-

(a) the rationale for and benefits of the Proposed Transaction;

(b) the tender process; and

(c) the financial terms of the Proposed Transaction.

4.1 Rationale for and benefits of the Proposed Transaction

It is not within our terms of reference to comment or express an opinion on the commercialmerits of the Proposed Transaction or the future prospects of the Company. Nevertheless,we have reviewed and taken into consideration the rationale for the Proposed Transaction as setout in Section 4.2 of the Circular and which is reproduced in italics below:

“The Directors who have no interest in the Proposed Transaction, being Er. Dr. Lee Bee Wah, Mr.Phua Cher Chew, Mr. Boon Choon Kiat, Dato Paduka Timothy Ong Teck Mong, Dr. Tan KheeGiap, Mr. Chin Sek Peng and Mr. Lim Teck Chai, Danny (the “Relevant Directors”) are of the viewthat it would be in the best interests of the Group to enter into the Proposed Transaction with PBTfor the Upgrading Works.

16

Page 17: TEE LAND LIMITED - TodayIRstore.todayir.com/todayirattachment_sg/teeland/... · proposed supply of services to tee industrial pte. ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of tee land limited,

Upon the completion of the tender process and evaluation, PBT has been recommended by theProject Manager to be appointed as the main contractor for the Upgrading Works based on thefollowing reasons:

(a) PBT has demonstrated a sound understanding of the project and its requirements.Compared with the other remaining contractor, PBT’s tender submissions were morecomprehensive and took into account the various critical construction activities, indicatingthat they had a clearer understanding of the scope of the Upgrading Works;

(b) PBT has a positive track record, having completed projects of similar scale and value to theProposed Transaction for several reputable clients, as set out in paragraph 4.1 above;

(c) PBT has a good financial credit rating;

(d) PBT’s final tender price of S$13,316,000 was the most competitive, which wasapproximately 3.9% lower than the other remaining contractor;

(e) the Consultants have concluded that PBT had met the technical criteria and uponassessment had the highest technical score in respect of the Tender Evaluation Matrix; and

(f) PBT had proposed the shortest working programme and timeline for the Upgrading Works.The next proposed shortest working programme and timeline was that offered by the otherremaining contractor, which was longer by about one and half months.”

4.2 Tender process

We have reviewed the tender process as set out in the Recommendation Report and note thefollowing:

(a) The Consultants were asked to recommend potential contractors to be invited for the tenderand a list of eight contractors were shortlisted by the Project Manager and the Consultantsand invited to participate in the tender, of which six contractors (including PBT) eventuallyparticipated by making tender submissions;

(b) The pre-tender estimate for the Upgrading Works prepared by the Cost Consultant wasestimated to be S$15,036,807 (“Pre-tender Estimate”). Out of the 6 tenders submitted,one was disqualified as the tender price did not include mechanical and engineering(“M&E”) cost and piling cost, whilst two of the tenders submitted were significantly higherthan the Pre-tender Estimate;

(c) After the tender results were opened, it was agreed that the three qualifying lowesttenderers will be shortlisted and invited for the tender interview. The purpose of the tenderinterview is to provide the shortlisted tenderers with an opportunity to raise queries and/orseek clarifications relating to the Upgrading Works and/or tender documents. In this respect,we note that the tender prices of the three qualifying lowest tenderers were all below thePre-tender Estimate and that PBT had submitted the lowest initial tender price out of thethree qualifying lowest tenderers. Due to incomplete technical submission by the third lowesttenderer despite being issued reminders, the Project Manager only recommended to invitePBT and the second lowest tenderer (“Second Lowest Tenderer”) for the tender interview;

(d) In preparation for the tender evaluation process, a weighted tender assessment scorecardwas developed and the assessment criteria, their respective weightings and the members ofthe evaluation panel (“Evaluation Panel”) comprising of representatives from the ProjectManager and the Consultants were collectively agreed. The weighted tender assessmentscorecard consisted of a combination of qualitative and quantitative criteria, which includes,inter alia, past project performance and track record, staffing resources, tender price andquality of pricing submission, credit rating of the tenderer, implementation plans andconstruction programme. In this respect, we note that PBT obtained a significantly higherweighted score of 88.4 points (out of 100) vis-à-vis the Second Lowest Tenderer which had

17

Page 18: TEE LAND LIMITED - TodayIRstore.todayir.com/todayirattachment_sg/teeland/... · proposed supply of services to tee industrial pte. ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of tee land limited,

a weighted score of 62.3 points (out of 100) based on the assessment of the EvaluationPanel. The Evaluation Panel was of the view that PBT’s programme was morecomprehensive and thorough, and that PBT better understood the project requirements;

(e) Tender questionnaires seeking confirmations on matters relating to the tenders and a posttender addendum with a revised interior design layout were sent to both PBT and thesecond lowest tenderer and a revised tender pricing (taking into account the revised interiordesign layout) was obtained from both PBT and the Second Lowest Tenderer. In thisrespect, we note that PBT’s revised tender price is approximately 0.4% lower than that ofthe Second Lowest Tenderer and both tenders were below the Pre-tender Estimate;

(f) Pursuant to final negotiations, both PBT and the Second Lowest Tenderer were asked tosubmit their final revised tender price (which was to include prime cost sum1 and the maincontractor’s profit mark up and attendance2 for the lift nominated subcontractor3). In thisrespect, we note that PBT’s final tender price of S$13,316,000 (excluding GST) isapproximately 3.9% lower than the final tender price of the Second Lowest Tenderer andbelow the Pre-tender Estimate;

(g) The Project Manager’s recommendation to appoint PBT as the main contractor for theUpgrading Works is supported by the following key points:

i. PBT has demonstrated a solid understanding of the project and requirements;

ii. Positive track record and good financial credit rating;

iii. Is recommended by every member of the Evaluation Panel who has scored for thetechnical criteria; and

iv. Acceptable working programme and timeline.

4.3 The financial terms of the Proposed Transaction

4.3.1 Final tender price and contract sum

The final tender price submitted by PBT is S$13,316,000 (excluding GST) (“Final Tender Price”),which is approximately 3.9% lower than the final tender price submitted by the Second LowestTenderer. In connection thereof and upon the recommendation of the Project Manager and theEvaluation Panel, the Company is proposing to grant the Letter of Award with a lump sum contractvalue of S$12,716,000 (“Contract Sum”) to PBT for the appointment as the main contractor for theUpgrading Works, subject to Shareholders’ approval. In this respect, it is noted that the ContractSum of S$12,716,000, which represents a downward revision of S$600,000 from the Final TenderPrice of S$13,316,000, was negotiated and agreed with PBT as Piling Works has been removedfrom the schedule of work required under the tender and TEE Industrial has engaged a third partycontractor, ABV Systems Pte Ltd, to carry out the Piling Works for the Upgrading Works for acontract sum of S$476,988 so that the Upgrading Works can be commenced as soon as possible.Further, we note that the Contract Sum is approximately 4.7% lower than the adjusted final tenderprice of the Second Lowest Tenderer (after adjusting to exclude the price quoted for piling works inits final tender submission).

Taking into consideration (i) the cost quotations for the Piling Works as provided by the othertenderers in their submission tenders and by PBT in its final tender offer price; (ii) the contract sumfor the Piling Works as agreed with ABV Systems; and (iii) the commercial environment andmarket practice of the industry, the Audit Committee is of the view that the downward revision ofS$600,000 for the removal of the Piling Works is reasonable.

18

1 Prime cost sum is an allowance for the supply of work or materials to be provided by a contractor nominated by the client.2 Attendance refers to the main contractor’s mark up for specific services it has to provide for individual sub-contractors such

as material handling, scaffolding and rubbish clearance. 3 A nominated subcontractor is a subcontractor nominated by the client to carry out an element of the construction works and

imposed upon the main contractor after the main contractor has been appointed.

Page 19: TEE LAND LIMITED - TodayIRstore.todayir.com/todayirattachment_sg/teeland/... · proposed supply of services to tee industrial pte. ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of tee land limited,

4.3.2 Liquidation damages and payment terms

We note that the Letter of Award provides for liquidated damages in the event that PBT fails tocomply with the stipulated completion date for the Upgrading Works, at a rate of S$7,000 percalendar day (“Liquidated Damages”) including Sundays and public holidays, for remaining worksbeyond the completion date (as recommended by T&T who took into account the estimated valueand duration of the Upgrading Works). Further, the payment period for the construction contractshall be 35 days (“Credit Period”) upon submission of a valid tax invoice by PBT. In this regard,we have reviewed the liquidated damages clause of past letters of awards granted by the Group tounrelated third party contractors for projects undertaken by the Group (excluding joint ventureprojects) over the past 24 months (“Past LOAs”) and noted that the daily rate in respect ofLiquidated Damages provided under the Letter of Award is more favourable to the Group ascompared to the Past LOAs (which had liquidated damages rates ranging from S$2,500/day toS$5,000/day). In respect of the payment terms, it is noted that the Credit Period of 35 daysprovided under the Letter of Award is more favourable to the Group as compared to the usualcredit period granted by the Group’s other suppliers of 30 days4.

5. OUR OPINION

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Proposed Transaction, we have given due considerationsto, inter alia, the following pertinent factors:-

(a) the rationale for the Proposed Transaction (as set out in Section 4.2 of the Circular);

(b) the tender process was managed by the Project Manager and the tender evaluation wasperformed by an independent Evaluation Panel comprising of representatives from theProject Manager and the Consultants;

(f) The Final Tender Price of S$13,316,000 submitted by PBT is below the Pre-tender Estimateand approximately 3.9% lower than the final tender price submitted by the Second LowestTenderer;
