  6. Good to remember « It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you loose a little money. When you pay too little, you sometimes loose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it’s well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better» (John Ruskin (1819 – 1900) (FIDIC QBCS guide)

  7. «You reap what you sow» LIKA recomends: To use the FIDIC recommended «Quality-based selection of consultants» and to so-called twoenvelope principle in StateandMunicipalitytenders: 1.
