Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs. 148.90 crore, exclusive of GST.
Rs. 1.49 crore. Acceptable forms: IRDAI-authorised Insurance Surety Bond, account-payee demand draft, fixed deposit receipt, banker’s cheque, or bank guarantee/e-BG from a nationalised bank or Scheduled Bank in India with net worth at least Rs. 1,000 crore. Validity must be at least 180 days from Bid Due Date inclusive of a 60-day claim period; BG/e-BG must pass through SFMS, and a foreign-bank BG needs confirmation by a nationalised bank in India.
Rs. 20,000, paid online into NHAI’s designated account; upload the online receipt.
3% of Bid Price, due within 30 days of LOA in the prescribed acceptable forms. The bidder may provide 50% within 30 days of LOA before agreement signing and the balance within 30 days after agreement; abnormally low bids trigger Additional Performance Security under the stepped formula.
Interim stage payments are based on completed stages and Schedule-H weights. The Authority’s Engineer recommends 90% part payment within 10 days of the monthly Stage Payment Statement, and the Authority pays that recommendation within another 10 days; the IPC follows within 15 days. Contract payments are due no later than 30 days from submission, with Bank Rate + 3% interest for delay.
Interest-bearing mobilisation advance equals 10% of Contract Price in two 5% instalments at Bank Rate + 3%; an additional advance up to 5% is available for newly purchased key construction equipment. Each instalment requires security equal to 110% of the instalment.
The project states a 10-year maintenance period, but the flexible-pavement payment schedule only states no payment in year 1, 0.50% of Contract Price in years 2–4, and 1% in year 5; years 6–10 are not priced by that sub-clause. Maintenance IPCs are paid quarterly within 30 days after the last IPC of the quarter.
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 may be a single entity or JV; this Rs. 148.90 crore project permits a JV. Any conflict of interest disqualifies the bidder and can forfeit Bid/Performance Security.
Available bid capacity must exceed the total bid value, calculated as A×N×2.5 − B + C; commitments are updated through the day before financial-bid opening.
Over the past 7 financial years before Bid Due Date, adjusted eligible construction payments/self-construction must exceed Rs. 148.90 crore.
Complete either two similar works each at least 25% of estimated cost or one at least 35%; qualifying completion means over 90% completed and meeting the stated value. For this flyover, the sole bidder/JV lead must also have completed in the last 7 financial years a similar Major Bridge/ROB/Flyover meeting at least 24 m span, 260 m length, and either one work of Rs. 52.12 Cr. or two works of Rs. 37.23 Cr. each.
Minimum net worth is Rs. 14.89 crore at the close of the preceding financial year; minimum updated average annual turnover is Rs. 29.78 crore over the last 5 financial years.
Maximum 3 members; lead must meet at least 60% of bid, technical and financial capacity, each other member at least 20%, and JV collectively 100%. Each member must hold at least 26% equity/shareholding; lead must perform at least 51% of total project-highway length; members are jointly and severally liable through DLP.
Bidder and every JV member must not be a non-performing party at tender opening or LOA; debarment/non-performer status extends to allied firms and all JV members. A catastrophic structural/highway failure caused by construction defects in any ongoing/completed project during the last 2 years makes the bidder/JV member ineligible.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India must be registered with the Competent Authority, with registration valid at bid submission and acceptance. An L1 bidder/member with at least 50% foreign-resident ownership or foreign control is subject to national-security/public-interest approval.
Technical bid must self-certify local content and locations of value addition. Class-I requires at least 50%; Class-II at least 20%. For procurement above Rs. 10 crore, the percentage must be certified by the statutory/cost auditor or practising CA/CMA as applicable; omission results in treatment as Non-Local Supplier.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design and construction of a 4-lane flyover with approaches and service roads at Simrahi Bazar, Supaul district, Bihar, on NH-27 from Design Ch. 170+210 to 172+250; total corridor length 2.04 km, in a brownfield built-up area.
Flyover at Design Ch. 171+395 with 11 m LHS and 11 m RHS roadways and span arrangement 11×30 + 1×20 + 10×30 m (650 m total). Service roads are 7.25 m wide on both sides for the full 2.04 km corridor, total 4,080 m, plus a 1 m paver-block utility corridor on the outer side.
Upgrade the existing four-lane highway with paved shoulders; provide minimum 20 m paved surface in built-up sections, drainage, separators/crash barriers, project facilities and utility relocation. Existing assets include one 20.5 m-span minor bridge at Ch. 170+940 and one 4.0 m-span box culvert at Ch. 170+345.
Construction is due on the 730th day from Appointed Date. Milestones: day 256 with at least 10% stage-payment progress; day 438 with at least 35% and all bridges started; day 621 with at least 70% and all project facilities started. The NIT states 10 years’ maintenance.
Comply with IRC:SP:84-2019 and MoRTH Specifications for Road and Bridge Works, subject to Schedule-D deviations. Contractor must finalise detailed design, obtain Authority/Authority’s Engineer consent and safety audit, and treat Schedule A–C quantities and dimensions as minimum requirements.
Environment clearance is marked not applicable and forest clearance not required. No bypass, toll plaza, ROB/RUB, grade separator, railway crossing, or existing underpass is listed. The DPR/feasibility material is only preliminary assistance; bidder bears its own surveys and investigations.
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.
Single-stage, two-part bid: technical documents and financial bid are uploaded online. The repeated operative clauses require submission on both CPPP/eTenders and BIMS; technical qualification is evaluated first and only responsive bidders’ financial bids are opened.
Class-III DSC is mandatory in the authorised signatory/firm/organisation/owner name and corporate capacity. Scans may be PDF or RAR; each file is limited to 30 MB, with multiple uploads permitted.
Bid must be typed and signed in indelible blue ink by the authorised signatory; every alteration, omission, addition or amendment must be initialled.
L1 must submit Clause 2.11.2 originals in a sealed, project-marked envelope before LOA to Sh. Bhaskar Mishra, GM(T)-Bihar, NHAI, G-5 & 6, Sector-10, Dwarka, New Delhi-110075. DD/FDR/banker’s-cheque security is the exception: physical delivery is due within 5 working days after Bid Due Date, by 11:00 hours. Failure by L1/JV members causes unconditional 5-year NHAI debarment.
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.
Schedule-J fixes Milestone-I at day 256 from Appointed Date, but the damages illustration in Clause 10.3(ii) calls it day 180. Schedule-J is the project-specific milestone schedule and should prevail; obtain written confirmation because delay damages are 0.05% of Contract Price per day after the grace period.
Clause 2.11.1(q) says Appendix-IB is submitted through etenders.gov.in, while Clauses 2.11.1 and 2.12 require application/submission on both eTenders and BIMS. The repeated general submission directions and NIT require both portals, so bidders should submit on both and seek confirmation.
NIT and Clause 14.1 state 10 years’ maintenance, but Schedule-B specifies flexible pavement for the main corridor; Clause 17.1 gives ordinary flexible pavement only a 5-year DLP, and Clause 14.1(a) only prices 5 years of flexible-pavement maintenance. The project-specific 10-year maintenance statement applies, but payment and DLP treatment for years 6–10 are unresolved and need addendum clarification.
Clause 2.1.11(c) says the lead-member nomination is supported by PoA “as per Appendix-III”, but Clauses 2.1.6/2.11.1(c) and the printed form identify lead-member PoA as Appendix-IV. Use Appendix-IV; Appendix-III is the separate bid-signing PoA.
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 Schedule-J dates—day 256, 438 and 621—govern, and amend the day-180 Milestone-I illustration in Clause 10.3(ii). This directly affects 0.05% per-day damages and programme pricing.
For the flexible main carriageway, confirm whether the full 10-year maintenance period and/or 10-year DLP applies, and specify payment percentages for years 6–10; current flexible-pavement clauses state only a 5-year DLP/payment schedule.
Confirm that both technical and financial components must be successfully submitted on both CPPP/eTenders and BIMS, and state how any portal mismatch will be treated.
Confirm Appendix-IV, not Appendix-III, is the prescribed Lead Member PoA form for JV bids.
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.
After a 30-day milestone/completion delay, damages accrue at 0.05% of Contract Price per day, capped at 10%; crossing the cap is an incurable default allowing termination. The contradictory Milestone-I date makes this especially material.
The 650 m urban flyover, 4.08 km of service roads, utility relocation and live-traffic obligations must be completed by day 730; designs/drawings must be approved within 90 days, and approval delay/cost is expressly borne by the contractor.
Contractor must maintain safe, traffic-worthy existing lanes at its own cost throughout construction and may divert traffic only with prior approval. The entire 2.04 km is built-up Simrahi Bazar, increasing staging, access, safety and utility-interface risk.
Base performance security is 3% of Bid Price, with stepped Additional Performance Security for bids more than 10% below estimated cost. Late balance security costs 0.01% of Bid Price per day, and failure after the additional 60 days cancels the award and encashes Bid Security.
Only completed stages are claimable; Authority’s Engineer may withhold estimated unperformed/defective work, and maintenance deductions for non-compliance are not restored after rectification. The unresolved years 6–10 flexible-pavement maintenance pricing adds material commercial uncertainty.
DPR/feasibility information is non-binding and bidder must perform its own surveys/investigations. Pond/fly ash procurement is the contractor’s obligation and non-availability is expressly not Change of Scope.
If L1 or any JV member fails to submit required originals before LOA, all are unconditionally debarred from NHAI bidding for 5 years.
