Clause 32 of ITB be increased at the expense of the successful Bidder to a level sufficient to protect the
Employer against financial loss in the event of default of the successful Bidder under the Contract. The
amount of the increased performance security shall be decided at the sole discretion of the Employer,
which shall be final, binding and conclusive on the bidder.

the Employer may require that the amount of the performance security set forth in Clause 32 be
increased at the expense of the successful Bidder to a level sufficient to protect the Employer against

increased performance security shall be decided at the sole discretion of the Employer, which shall be
final, binding and conclusive on the bidder.
