Uniform Guidelines for Blacklisting Constructors Involved in Public
Construction based on the recommendations of the CIAP IAC on
Blacklisting and the agreements of the CIAP Board in its 31st Regular
Meeting held on 18 July 2000:
I
General
The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of P.D. No. 1594 as
amended last 12 July 1995 provide under Section IB 10.5-2 the
formulation of uniform guidelines for blacklisting constructors involved
in public construction and revision of the same whenever necessary by a
committee composed of representatives from government tendering
agencies and constructors associations created by the Construction
Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP). The guidelines shall
stipulate, among others, the administrative sanctions to be imposed for
offenses/violations committed by constructors during the contract
implementation phase.
These guidelines were developed to address the following issues:
differing sanctions imposed by agencies concerned on erring
constructors; absence of administrative procedures or due process for
blacklisting constructors by some concerned agencies; and, lack of
information networking within and among agencies on offenses committed
by constructors.
II
Scope
These guidelines shall cover the blacklisting of constructors
involved in government infrastructure projects who committed
offenses/violations during prequalification, bidding, award, and
contract implementation.
The prequalification, bidding and award phases are included in these
guidelines to harmonize the blacklisting and delisting procedures and
to expand coverage of the blacklisting reports.
Joint ventures and consortia are likewise covered by these
guidelines but the number of times sanctioned and corresponding
sanctions imposed shall be accrued by the joint ventures and/or
consortia concerned and their individual member-constructors.

Constructors Not Allowed to Participate in the Pre-Qualification and Bidding of Government Projects
A CONSTRUCTOR WHO WAS SUSPENDED OR DISQUALIFIED BY A
GOVERNMENT TENDERING AGENCY AND/OR INCLUDED IN THE CIAP CONSOLIDATED
GOVERNMENT-LEVEL BLACKLISTED CONSTRUCTORS SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE PREQUALIFICATION AND BIDDING OF ALL GOVERNMENT
TENDERING AGENCIES DURING THE PERIOD OF SUSPENSION/DISQUALIFICATION
