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.
Proprietorships, partnerships, companies, corporations, consortia and JVs may bid, but only Class-I local suppliers are eligible; local content threshold is at least 60%.

What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, detail engineering, manufacture, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of 25 kV AC rigid OHE, 33 kV auxiliary substations, associated cabling and SCADA from R. K. Ashram to Kartavya Bhawan under Phase-V(A) Delhi MRTS.
Pricing splits into detailed design/miscellaneous, general requirements, rigid OHE for the main section, rigid OHE for stabling lines from CTST to Kartavya Bhawan, switching-post works and ASS works.
Key deliverables include preliminary/definitive design, simulation studies, earthing and bonding design, delivery and installation, testing/charging, independent audit of ROCS design/installation, integrated testing with other system contractors, and Taking-Over at week 156.
For R.K. Ashram (exclusive)–Kartavya Bhawan underground section: major ASS equipment delivery by week 58, installation/system and SCADA testing from week 74, commissioning by week 90, integrated acceptance by week 98 and Taking-Over at week 156. Tentative revenue opening is Dec-2028.
Operational key-date schedule reaches Taking-Over at 156 weeks (36 months); defect liability is two years from Taking-Over. Appendix-1 incorrectly states 24 months and should be clarified before pricing.
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 two online packages on CPPP/eProcure: Technical Package and Financial Package. Financial Package contains the completed Volume-7 BOQ/pricing file; physical original tender security is separate where BG/FDR/DD/Banker’s Cheque is used.
Bidder must register on https://eprocure.gov.in/eprocure/app and upload using the authorised signatory’s valid Class-II or Class-III digital signature.
All documents must be in English (or accompanied by English translation). Every scanned page must be signed by an authorised person before upload; amendments must be initialled and dated.
Only original EMD instruments under C18.1.3(ii) are submitted physically, sealed and marked “Tender Security for EE-04”, to Sr. GM/Contracts by 21.10.2026 at 15:00. Online transfers require uploaded e-receipt only.
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.
NIT says 36 months and the key-date schedules reach Taking-Over at week 156, but FOT Appendix-1 says 24 months. NIT and the package-specific milestone schedule support 36 months; bidder should obtain formal clarification because Appendix-1 is contract-form text.
NIT and the price-bid letter specify 120 days; ITT C17 specifies 180 days. Under SCC priority, Form of Tender/NIT rank above ITT, so 120 days applies unless amended.
ITT C2.1 correctly calls the BOQ Volume-7, while the printed FOT Appendix-2 says the pricing document is Volume 6. The tender contents and actual Volume-7/BOQ file establish Volume-7 as the financial package.
The Volume-1 contents describe GCC as “Dec 2025”, while the actual GCC title pages state November 2019. The included Volume-2 text and embedded amendments must be treated as the issued contract conditions, but the edition mismatch warrants confirmation.
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 reconcile the 36-month NIT/156-week key-date schedule with the 24-month FOT Appendix-1 requirement and confirm the value used for Clause 8.2 and LD.
Please confirm whether bid validity is 120 or 180 days and align the ITT, NIT and price-bid form; this also controls extension of tender-security validity.
Please correct/confirm FOT Appendix-2’s reference to “Volume 6”; ITT and tender contents designate Volume-7 as BOQ/Pricing Document.
Confirm the intended Notice-to-Proceed/LOA assumptions behind Dec-2028 ROD and week-156 Taking-Over, including treatment of delay by interfacing civil/system contractors, because dates are called “sacrosanct” while they shift with LOA.
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.
LD is 0.5% of original Contract Price per week for missing key dates, capped at 10% of total Contract Value; total LD including sums payable to designated contractors can reach 15%.
Contractor bears ultimate commissioning responsibility and must modify its design for other contractors; DMRC only supervises/facilitates coordination.
Bidder is deemed to have visited and assessed the site; contractor bears adequacy/safety of methods and must secure transport, storage, utilities, skilled labour, environmental protection and service diversions at its own cost.
Quantities are approximate; contractor must execute individual-item variations at BOQ rates up to 25% total original contract value, and variations may be implemented anywhere in the Delhi Metro network.
If repeated completion tests fail, Engineer may order more tests, reject the works, or take them over with a Contract Price reduction reflecting diminished value.
10% performance security is a payment condition; delay beyond 30 days attracts possible 15% p.a. penal interest and failure by 60 days can annul award. Interim certification may omit work/materials the Engineer considers unsatisfactory.
No extra cost is payable for suspensions arising from contract provisions, execution needs, weather, contractor default, safety, utilities or pollution-authority instructions; employer-caused suspension up to 30 days generally receives no compensation.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
