15. Supply of pipes For bed A When Contractor A, calculated the amounts, he depended on the Israeli cost since it is cheaper and has all the specifications. And after taking the bid, it was found that the Palestinian Water Authority prefers the national industry so it was agreed on the Israeli cost between the contractor and the factory, and on the same specifications.

16. For bed B, When contractor B, calculated the amounts, he from the beginning depended on the Palestinian cost even though it is more expensive and has all the specifications.

17. Earth works For bed A the contractor want to rent all machine which he need to complete the work. For bed B the contractor have all machine which he need to complete the work ( he don’t need to rent any machine )

18. 1) The increase in the number of the contracting corporations in the Palestinian market led to bids less than the estimated cost, since many corporations calculate the bid as to cover all their overhead expenses in order to guarantee it’s place in the market and to keep the employees working for these corporation through covering their salaries and expenses.
