All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
The tender booklet does not print the publication, clarification/pre-bid, online submission, physical fee/EMD-cover, or technical-bid-opening calendar dates; it directs bidders to the E-Tender Notice. The bid remains valid for 180 days from technical-bid opening, and the price-bid opening date is to be fixed by GSECL.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Tender fee is Rs. 1500 + Rs. 270 GST = Rs. 1770 (non-refundable), and EMD is Rs. 24,799. Tender fee/EMD may be paid online/RTGS/NEFT or by DD; EMD may also be an irrevocable BG in the prescribed form, valid at least six months from bid submission. Cheques and corporate guarantees are not accepted.
The project-specific clause requires an SD/PBG equal to 10% of the EPC Contract Price within seven days with LOI acceptance, initially valid eight months from LoI/LoA and extendable three months beyond successful PR testing. It is released only after successful PR tests at all sites.
The 25-year PV-module output warranty must be backed by third-party insurance valid 25 years, or a BG of Rs. 1,000 per kW valid 25 years and 90 days (minimum five-year tranches, renewed at least 30 days before expiry).
No advance or mobilization advance is payable. Supply is paid 80% plus 100% taxes against TRC within 30 days and the remaining 20% against S.R. note within 45 days of receipt in good condition; works bills are payable within 30 days from recording, with no extra claim for delay. Payment is for actual work only, and GST/cess is retained until payment evidence or return reflection is verified.
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.
In the last three years the bidder must have designed, supplied, erected/supervised and commissioned/executed grid-connected SPV plants totaling 20 kWp, including either one completed similar work of at least 16 kWp, two of at least 12 kWp each, or three of at least 8 kWp each. Submit order copy and end-user performance certificate.
Average annual turnover must be at least Rs. 2.47 Lacs during the preceding three financial years as on techno-commercial bid opening. Net worth must be at least 100% of paid-up share capital at the preceding financial-year end; where group-company strength is used, combined net worth must be at least 100% and each entity at least 75% of its paid-up share capital.
Every bidder must provide GST registration (Form REG-06), legal-constitution documents, PF-code certificate, PAN, tools/tackles and skilled/unskilled manpower list, and an electrical contractor licence. A valid labour licence is required when applicable; power of attorney is required where another person signs.
Technical-qualification evidence must be authenticated and digitally signed by a listed TPIA, or—because this tender is below Rs. 1 crore—by the bidder's statutory auditor or a practicing CA/CA firm, with Annexure-1 (TPIA). Uncertified evidence makes the bid liable to rejection.
Bids are rejected if the bidder is declared ineligible for corrupt/fraudulent practices or blacklisted by GEB/GSECL, Gujarat Government or its PSUs. The technical bid also requires an undertaking that the firm/proprietor/partners/directors are not stop-dealt, banned or blacklisted by GUVNL or subsidiaries.
A bidder with conflicts involving common owners/directors, financial stakes, representatives, influence, multiple bids, consultant involvement, or closely related units is disqualified. Employee/relative interests of 10% or more must be disclosed. The bidder must visit the site, bid unconditionally without technical/commercial deviations, and sign/seal all tender documents.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, engineer, procure/supply, erect, test and commission a total 20 kWp grid-connected rooftop solar PV project on various KLTPS plant and S.K. Varmanagar colony buildings, including civil/electrical works, synchronization, net metering and handover. The system has no battery storage and does not operate during grid outage.
Provide DCR bifacial half-cut modules of at least 580 Wp from the latest approved ALMM-II list; module structures/pedestals, junction boxes, PCU/inverters with monitoring/MPPT, AC evacuation panels, protection, cabling, earthing/lightning protection, net/main and backup meters, module-cleaning arrangements, safety systems, signage and all incidental items/services needed for commissioning.
The contractor must obtain drawing, GEDA/DISCOM, net-metering, electrical-inspector, fire/factory and other applicable approvals; pre-commission and commission all equipment, run load trials, achieve grid certification and provide the commissioning certificate. Minimum commissioning PR is 75%.
Use pedestal mounting without roof puncture, preserve drainage and waterproofing, and rectify any resulting seepage at contractor cost. Design structures for local heavy rain, strong wind and earthquake. GSECL provides available open space and, if available, one water tapping point; loading, storage, security and unavailable water arrangements remain with the contractor.
Complete commissioning within six months of LOI/NTP. Milestones include drawings/net-meter application by D+15, approvals by D+90, major supply by D+100, installation/interconnection by D+130, testing by D+150, and PR test within 20 days of COD. Partial commissioning is not accepted.
All components must meet the latest applicable BIS/IEC and listed standards. PV output must remain at least 90% at year 10 and 80% at year 25; modules, mechanical structures, electrical works, plant equipment/components and workmanship carry the stated 25-year warranties, while inverter OEM warranty is to be furnished with the bid.
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.
Upload notarized or self-attested technical documents as searchable/scanned PDF at 300 dpi or higher on nprocure.com. Submit Schedule-B only through the N-Procure price-bid fields; do not upload a scanned price bid or disclose financial information in the technical bid.
Only the fee/EMD proof or DD/BG cover is physical, in a sealed cover superscribed with the work name, sent by RPAD or Speed Post to the Chief Engineer (Generation); courier and hand delivery are barred. Every bid-document page must be signed and dated in ink and accompanying documents bear bidder signature and company seal.
All technical-QR supporting documents and Annexure-1 authentication must be digitally signed by the eligible TPIA/statutory auditor/practicing CA or CA firm. The booklet does not specify a bidder DSC class.
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 sole corrigendum is expressly issued because the tender-document PDF was corrupted and supplies a complete 88-page replacement Tender WE-378.pdf. The replacement contains no amendment table, pre-bid reply, date-extension notice, or original-versus-amended clause text; bidders should use this readable replacement booklet in place of the corrupted WE-378.pdf.
The replacement booklet finally states: tender fee Rs. 1,770; EMD Rs. 24,799; bid validity 180 days from technical-bid opening; project completion six months; and project-specific SD/PBG 10% of EPC Contract Price within seven days of LOI acceptance. Calendar bid dates remain ‘As per E-Tender Notice’ and are not printed in the replacement.
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.
The E-Tender Notice says security is 5% before order; project clause 30 says combined SD/PBG is 10% within seven days of LOI acceptance, valid eight months and extendable three months beyond PR testing; generic clause 55 says 5% within ten days, valid six months after completion. The project-specific clause is the more specific provision and therefore 10%/seven days applies, but written clarification is essential.
Page 2 requires proof/DD to reach before the tender-notice due date/time, while page 5 says only the EMD physical cover may arrive within five working days after bid opening. Neither printed clause gives a calendar date. Because page 2 is the tender notice and imposes the earlier pass/fail deadline, bidders should meet that earlier deadline unless GSECL confirms otherwise.
Project clause 11 imposes Rs. 50/kW/day for up to 90 days and permits risk-and-cost termination after more than six months, while generic clause 15 imposes 0.5% of contract price per week up to 10% and calls other special penalties additional. The document does not say whether both are cumulative; the project-specific daily LD should govern the solar milestone delay, but cumulative exposure remains unclear.
The scope first says anchoring on the RCC roof may be done with resulting seepage liability, but later expressly prohibits drilling or anchoring and requires pedestal installation. The later, more specific installation instruction prevails: no roof drilling/anchoring.
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 by amendment whether the successful bidder must furnish 10% SD/PBG within seven days for eight months plus extension, or 5% within ten days/before order with six-month post-completion validity, and issue the applicable BG format.
Please state the exact calendar deadline for physical fee/EMD proof and whether arrival before bid due time is mandatory or submission within five working days after bid opening is acceptable.
Please confirm whether Rs. 50/kW/day LD and the separate 0.5% per-week penalty are alternatives or cumulative, and identify the overall cap for this EPC contract.
Please provide the final building list, kWp allocation, approved interconnection points, roof structural/load reports and available water points. ‘Various buildings’ and a total 20 kWp are stated, but no site-wise schedule is printed; this materially affects design, cable routes, access and pricing.
Please confirm whether the contractor must carry 25-year third-party module-warranty insurance or the Rs. 1,000/kW rolling BG in addition to the 10% SD/PBG, and provide acceptable insurer/policy wording and BG form.
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 may attract project LD of Rs. 50/kW/day up to 90 days, generic penalty of 0.5% of contract value per week up to 10%, GST/cess on penalties, and risk-and-cost termination for prolonged delay. The interaction is unresolved.
Prices are firm with no escalation through execution or extension. The contractor bears all unspecified works/services needed for commissioning, unavailable-water arrangements, storage/security, approvals and installation costs, with no extra payment for site information overlooked.
PV output, module material and even mechanical/electrical works and overall workmanship are stated as 25-year obligations. The module warranty additionally needs 25-year insurance or a renewable BG; failure to replenish can trigger full encashment and withholding of all pending payments.
No advance is available; works payment is due 30 days after bill recording but delay gives no compensation. GST/cess can remain retained until tax-payment evidence/return reflection is verified, and GSECL may set off contractor liabilities against bills.
The six-month programme makes the contractor responsible for DISCOM/net-metering and statutory approvals, yet GSECL drawing approval is scheduled only by D+45. Roof puncture is prohibited and any water ingress is bidder liability, increasing pedestal, structural and waterproofing risk.
GSECL may stop unsafe work, recover safety penalties from RA bills/security, withhold payment pending EH&S evaluation, disqualify contractors rated below 3, and bar a repeatedly non-compliant agency from all GSECL tenders for three years.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
