Correct!
Capability and capacity
Correct!
Financial stability
Correct!
Specific relevant experience
Correct!
Technical expertise and approach
Correct!
Key staff's qualifications, availability, and competence

Management experience
In choosing evaluation criteria, the buyer seeks to ensure that the proposal selected will offer the best
quality for the services required. The source selection criteria may include but are not limited to
capability and capacity; product cost and life cycle cost; delivery dates; technical expertise and
approach; specific relevant experience; adequacy of the proposed approach and work plan in
responding to the SOW, key staff's qualifications, availability, and competence; financial stability of the
firm; management experience; and suitability of the knowledge transfer program, including training. For
international projects, evaluation criteria may include “local content” requirements, for example,
participation by nationals among proposed key staff.

A project finance structure will be successful if the project is
Correct!
Commercially sound and financeable
Innovative and attractive
Commercially sound and attractive
Commercially sound and innovative
One of the most common errors during project development is for the sponsors to agree on a project
contract that is commercially sound, but not acceptable from a project-finance point of view. For
example, the fuel may be cheap, but the supply contract does not cover the loan period; or the
construction contract may be at a low price, but the financial penalties on the construction contractor for
failure to build on time or to specification are not adequate for lenders (see Yescombe, 2014, p. 34).
Question 3
4 /4 pts
A buyer’s intentional relinquishment of a legal right is a (n):
Infringement
Breach of contract
Correct!
Waiver
Termination liability
A waiver is a contract between a service provider and a participant signed prior to participating in an
activity. In it, the participant agrees to waive liability against the provider for any fault or liability for
injuries resulting from the ordinary negligence of the provider, its employees, or its agents. The
agreement attempts to relieve the service provider of liability for injuries resulting from mistakes, errors
or faults of the provider and, in effect, relieves the provider of the duty to use ordinary care in providing
for the participant. A waiver is the voluntary relinquishment or surrender of some known right or privilege.
