180 days from opening of the Technical Bid; a shorter validity is non-responsive. Any requested extension requires a corresponding EMD extension.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Estimated cost of work: Rs.30 Cr. The RFP separately identifies Rs.15 Cr. as the estimated plant/equipment CAPEX used for qualification and escalation provisions. Prices are item-rate, INR-only and inclusive of all taxes/levies/GST.
Rs.18,25,000, paid online to the Board account by RTGS/NEFT with proof uploaded in the technical bid. Delhi Cantonment Board-registered contractors that have lodged standing security deposit are exempt; no NSIC/MSME exemption applies. No separate initial EMD validity is stated, but it must be extended if bid validity is extended.
Rs.3,000, payable by both registered and unregistered contractors through RTGS/NEFT; proof is uploaded with the technical bid. On retender, a contractor that quoted in the previous call need not repay it.
5%, due within 28 days of LOA/notice, by unconditional bank guarantee from a nationalized/scheduled Indian bank or FDR/TDR. The project-specific clauses calculate it on CAPEX/equipment cost excluding O&M and require validity for the contract period plus at least 3 months' claim period. The documents conflict on calculation base and release timing; conservatively price for 90-day post-handover release pending clarification.
CAPEX is paid 15% advance against PBG; 5% engineering/GA approval; 40% equipment supply; 10% erection/mechanical completion; 10% cold commissioning; 10% hot commissioning/PG test; 5% final handover/retention; and 5% after one year successful running. Certified stage payments are stated payable within 30 days.
Monthly O&M is reimbursed on actual tonnage processed at the Board's calibrated weighbridge, at the quoted Net Tipping Fee, within 30 days of a supported monthly bill. Minimum assured delivery is 70 TPD. The contractor retains by-product sale proceeds and must net them off its tipping fee. Landfill savings below 20% residue are shared 50:50; transport is in the O&M rate, Board bears dumping fee only up to the 20% residue ceiling.
No escalation applies to Rs.15 Cr. plant CAPEX or materials. O&M labour (30% component) and POL/fuel (5% component) escalation/de-escalation starts after the first year and is calculated quarterly using prescribed indices.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Bidder must be a single Indian sole proprietorship, registered partnership, LLP, public limited company or private limited company, continuously existing for at least 5 years as on 31.03.2026. Foreign firms are ineligible; the TIS states 100% minimum local content.
GST registration and EPF registration are mandatory. Entity constitution/registration documents must be submitted; partnership firms submit the partnership deed, while companies submit directors, MOA, AOA and relevant registration documents.
A Rs.6.00 Cr. solvency certificate from a nationalized/scheduled bank is required. It must have been issued in FY 2024-25, FY 2025-26 or the current financial year; an older certificate makes the bid non-responsive.
Minimum average annual turnover: INR 4.5 crore over the last three financial years, CA-certified with UDIN and supported by attested audited financial statements. Minimum net worth: INR 5 crore as per audited FY ending 31.03.2025, CA-certified with UDIN.
Within the last 7 years ending the last day of the month before invitation, bidder must have completed either one 80 TPD SWM plant, two 50 TPD SWM plants each, or three 40 TPD SWM plants each. Similar work covers design, supply, installation, commissioning/maintenance and operation of a municipal waste-processing plant using any technology.
JV/consortium bids are prohibited. Each bidder must independently meet all criteria and may not rely on another entity's technical/financial capacity, except an expressly permitted OEM authorization.
Bidder and its proprietor/partners/directors must not be blacklisted, debarred or ineligible by any listed public authority at bid date, and must have no conflict under Clause 4.9. False/forged/misleading documents, corrupt/fraudulent/coercive/collusive/obstructive practices, or common promoters/directors/controlling shareholders between bidders trigger rejection/disqualification and may lead to termination, forfeiture and debarment.
After pre-qualification, the bidder must score at least 80/100 in the technical evaluation to have its financial bid opened.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, finance, supply, install, test and commission a 100 TPD integrated municipal/green-waste treatment plant at Kirby Place, Delhi Cantt., then operate and maintain it for 5 years and transfer all fixed assets to DCB in good working condition.
Provide pre-processing with integration/modification of DCB's existing trommel system, shredders, conveyors, sorting cabin, magnetic/eddy-current and air/ballistic separation; composting and RDF/green-coal/eco-brick lines; and a 20 TPD gasification unit with APCE and CEMS linkage.
Contractor provides internal electrical/utility systems, HT/LT panels, transformers, earthing, leachate pumps/hooks, CCTV, web dashboard and Android/iOS app. DCB provides electricity and water supply per approved design. Contractor operates DCB's Leachate Treatment Plant and supplies real-time and periodic operational/emissions reporting.
Process at least 80% of waste received (or 80% of installed capacity), maintain at least 90% plant availability, and keep residue/inerts at or below 20% of input. Indicative outputs include recyclables, compost, RDF pellets/green coal, eco-bricks and usable ash/char, with standards including FCO for compost, BIS for eco-bricks/equipment and CPCB emissions/gasification requirements.
Contractor markets/disposes all by-products at its own cost and retains sale proceeds, reflected in the Net Tipping Fee. Non-usable residuals go in covered vehicles to Okhla or another authorized landfill 25-30 km away; contractor bears transport and also bears dumping charges if residue exceeds 20%.
Total incubation is 7 months from work-order commencement: 1 month for design vetting plus 6 months for installation, testing and commissioning. O&M then runs 60 months. Submit the handover plan 6 months before expiry and transfer the site, fixed plant, machinery, as-built drawings, O&M manuals and staff training free of encumbrances.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Submit online only through the Ministry of Defence e-procurement portal. Upload Technical Bid Part I (pre-qualification), Technical Bid Part II (proposal) and the separate financial BOQ/price schedule; the TIS describes two covers—technical and price. No manual/offline bid is accepted.
Use a valid Class-III DSC in the authorized signatory's name. Documents must be legible, page-numbered and digitally signed; corrections/overwriting must be authenticated. Freeze the bid after upload; an unfrozen bid is incomplete/invalid. Do not disclose price in either technical part.
The tender-specific TIS says physical documents are not allowed and lists no original/self-attested physical submission, deadline or address. Upload scanned documents only.
Every page of the tender document must be signed and stamped. The tender must carry authority evidence: prescribed Power of Attorney for an authorized signatory; if the signatory is the sole proprietor, an appropriate-value stamp-paper affidavit confirming authority may be used. All prescribed forms are to be completed without material alteration.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
Page 6 says the lowest bid is considered, while the dedicated evaluation section mandates QCBS (30% technical/70% financial) and award to the highest final score. The later, detailed Sections 8.1-8.3 should prevail, but bidders should obtain written confirmation.
The Tender Information Summary says no advance is provided, but Clause 8.4.1 expressly schedules a 15% advance against PBG. The project-specific payment schedule is more specific, but the conflict requires pre-bid confirmation before financing assumptions are fixed.
General clauses and Form C say 5% of contract value/sum, potentially including O&M; project-specific clauses say 5% of CAPEX/equipment cost excluding O&M. The more specific project clauses indicate CAPEX/equipment cost should prevail, subject to written confirmation.
Page 8 says a BG normally runs through a one-year defect-liability period; Clause 9.1 and Form C require the full five-year/contract period plus 3 months. Release is stated as 60 days on pages 32 and 52 but 90 days on page 55. Use the stricter Form C validity and conservatively assume 90-day release until clarified.
Clause 6.16.3 says commissioning within six months, whereas Clauses 6.16.1, 6.17.1 and 9.5 define six months plus one month for design vetting (seven months total). The repeated, more detailed seven-month definition prevails.
Eligibility Clause 15 can read as requiring turnover of Rs.15 Cr., while Clause 5.3 expressly states INR 4.5 crore (30% of Rs.15 Cr.). The latter arithmetic and dedicated financial-qualification clause indicate INR 4.5 crore. Net worth and bid-capacity documents are required in Sections 5.3/7.1 but omitted from the numbered page 15-19 appendix checklist; bid capacity has no formula or threshold.
Page 31 says all testing/certification costs are borne by DCB. Page 36 first says design vetting is at bidder cost, then says all design-vetting/statutory-clearance fees are borne by DCB. The final specific sentence supports DCB payment, but the same-page conflict needs confirmation.
General instructions permit Class-II/III DSC, while the later portal-specific clause requires Class-III. Use Class-III.
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 that award will follow Sections 8.1-8.3—minimum 80 technical marks, 30:70 technical/financial weighting, highest final score—and not the L1 statement on page 6.
Please confirm whether the 15% advance against PBG in Stage 1 will be paid, despite the TIS stating that no advance payment is provided, and identify the separate advance-BG amount, validity and recovery schedule if applicable.
Please confirm the 5% calculation base (CAPEX/equipment only or total contract including five-year O&M), permitted instrument, precise expiry/claim period and whether release is 60 or 90 days after handover.
Please confirm minimum turnover as INR 4.5 crore, net worth as INR 5 crore, and specify the undefined bid-capacity formula/certificate and appendix numbering, because the page 15-19 checklist does not list net-worth or bid-capacity documents.
Please confirm that total incubation is seven months (one month vetting plus six months installation/commissioning), identify the party paying all vetting/testing/statutory fees, and state when the seven-month clock starts if site, utilities or DCB civil works are delayed.
The BOQ quantity is 182,500 tonnes (100 TPD for five years), but payment is on actual processed tonnage and only 70 TPD delivery is assured. Please confirm whether 182,500 tonnes is guaranteed, how short-delivery below BOQ quantity is compensated, and how the 80% processing target is measured when receipt varies.
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.
Seven-month incubation is time-critical. Delay attracts 1% of entire plant/equipment CAPEX per week, capped at 10%; intermediate milestone delay attracts 0.5% of that stage payment per week, within an aggregate 10% CAPEX cap. Continuing default may terminate the contract and permit completion at contractor risk and cost.
Daily shortfall below 80% processing attracts Rs 500 per tonne. CPCB emissions violation attracts Rs.50,000 per day until rectified. Late mandatory O&M/maintenance/emission reports attract Rs.5,000 per day per report.
Contractor prices landfill transport 25-30 km away, bears all dumping fees when residue exceeds 20%, and carries the full marketing/disposal risk for recyclables, RDF/green coal, compost, eco-bricks and ash. By-product revenue must reduce the quoted tipping fee, exposing bidder to commodity-price and offtake risk.
BOQ assumes 182,500 tonnes, but only 70 TPD delivery is assured and monthly payment is based on actual processed tonnage. CAPEX reimbursement is milestone-certified; no equipment-cost or exchange escalation is allowed, and the advance-payment contradiction creates financing uncertainty.
Performance security is held through the five-year O&M/handover period plus claim period and may be forfeited for COD failure, sustained emissions/performance non-compliance or material default. Release timing conflicts at 60 versus 90 days, increasing working-capital uncertainty.
Contractor must maintain all DPCC, fire, labour, SWM/hazardous-waste approvals and comprehensive insurance at its cost. Required cover includes full replacement value CAR/plant insurance and at least Rs.1 crore per occurrence public liability. Lapse allows suspension without compensation; wage shortfall is penalized at ten times the shortfall.
Cleanliness, housekeeping, unauthorized-person, worker-conduct, PPE and hygiene penalties are recoverable from monthly O&M bills; three or more cleanliness/conduct penalties in three months may become material non-compliance and lead to termination proceedings.
