Normally, these rates should he the selling prices quoted at the local central hank and the rates should he those quoted at the time of closing 28 days before the tender submission date. The rates quoted are incorporated in the contract when awarded.
如果要求投标人使用单ー货币来表示他们的投标报价（一般为工程实 施所在国的货币），则有必要规定汇率，以便将支付要求的各种货币兑 换成单一货币单位。由于若干投标人要求支付他们一定量的某一特定货币，所以，使用的汇率最好保持一致。因此，汇率应由雇主/工程师 规定，并在提交投标书之前的一段合理的时间内通知给每个投标人，一般来说，此类汇率为当地中央银行在投标书递交之前第二十八天之日 发布的售价，并在授予合同时写入的合同中。
