IFB para 1 cites August Kranti Bhavan, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi-110066, while the cover page, pre-bid venue and Contract Data use World Trade Center Tower A, Nauroji Nagar, New Delhi-110029.
Compliance text requires meeting either (I) or (II) or (III), yet only Options (I) and (II) are described; no Option (III) contract-count/value/similar-work definition appears in Section 3.
IFB highlights Online mode / e-Bank Guarantee / Insurance Surety Bond, while ITB 19.3 also expressly allows Cashiers/Banker’s certified cheque or Bank draft payable at New Delhi.
ITB/IFB require original e-BG/Surety Bond delivery to the official nominated in the Bid Data Sheet within 5 working days, but BDS pages only give the GM/Project Kolkata address under clarification/communication — no separate ‘nominated official for EMD originals’ line.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Please confirm whether Option (III) under EQC 2.3.1(a) exists and, if so, state the number of contracts, minimum values and similar-work definitions; if deleted, amend the ‘(I) or (II) or (III)’ wording.
Request a chainage-wise possession schedule beyond ‘25% within 30 days, balance phased’, including known non-available stretches, major utility diversions on BT Road, and whether delay damages apply when Key Dates slip due to late handover/utility clearances by third parties.
Confirm the contractual status of the 2012 GTI reports (bore logs show standing water ~2 m) versus contractor confirmatory GTI under Schedule C1 — who bears redesign/cost if actual strata differ materially from tender GTI?
Please confirm which EMD instruments IREPS will accept for this tender (online payment vs cheque/DD vs e-BG vs surety) and the exact officer/address/timings for physical original e-BG/Surety Bond submission.
Clarify whether MSEs registered under UDYAM etc. are exempt only from bid security/document fee, and confirm no MSE purchase preference — including any turnover/works-value limits for exemption on a Rs. 1587 Cr works tender.
Confirm whether night/round-the-clock construction is pre-cleared with Kolkata Traffic Police along BT Road, any restricted hours, and relief if local authorities limit continuous working assumed in the 42-month programme.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
Delay damages 1/25000 of Contract Price per day when fully contractor-attributable (section-proportionate alternative); partial attribution 1/500000 to 1/50000 per day; capped at 5% of Contract Price. Aggressive Key Dates within 42 months.
Contractor must manage traffic continuously, divert/support/restore utilities and roads; utility drawings indicative; damage rectification and agency penalties at contractor’s cost.
Tender GTI data appear dated (2012 bore logs with shallow groundwater ~2 m); contractor must perform confirmatory investigations and GIR for DDC design — differing ground can hit piling/production assumptions.
Rs. 2 Cr bid security at risk for withdrawal/false declarations/failure to sign or furnish PS; performance security 5% plus possible additional PS for low/unbalanced quotes; retention 6% to 5% cap; advances carry 9.9% interest and fast recovery.
Permanent works design by Employer’s DDC using contractor survey/GTI; contractor remains responsible for construction quality, interfaces with system-wide contractors, and re-testing costs if integrated testing fails.
Financial and experience thresholds are very high (~Rs.907 Cr turnover, ~Rs.952 Cr single similar work). Multiple summary-rejection clauses (affidavit, LTB, LPB, bid security, eligibility update) create administrative bid-fail risk.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
