Open works contract for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project Phase-2A combining elevated civil construction and underground design-build over ~5.98 km corridor from Koteshwar Road dead end toward Airport.
Construction of ~4.97 km elevated viaduct and 4 elevated stations (Ashram Road, Koteshwar Prachin Mandir, Sabarmati River, Sardarnagar) from Ch. -0+017 km to 4+952 km, including 1 Sabarmati River Bridge.
Design, construction and completion of Airport Underground Station, Cut & Cover Box Tunnel and Ramp including finishing from start of Ramp to Dead end, Ch. 4+946.304 m to 5+962.195 m (1015.891 m), Koteshwar to Airport Corridor of Phase-2A.
Overall completion 36 months from LOA/commencement, with intermediate Key Dates in ER Appendix 2B carrying weekly LDs (elevated viaduct KD-1 to KD-15; stations; Sabarmati bridge).
Works are measured/priced under Volume 6 BOQ for Elevated and Underground sections; technical compliance under Volumes 3–5 ER, TS and Tender Drawings.
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 Tender Fees, Tender Security, Technical Package and Financial Package on e-procurement portal https://tender.nprocure.com only; Financial Bid is online-only via the portal financial template.
All supporting pages must be signed by authorized signatory and stamped before scanning/upload; corrections initialled and dated.
Raise queries in the prescribed Excel clarification format and also submit signed scanned copy by email before 04-09-2026 17:00 hrs.
Successful tenderer must return signed LOA within one week, furnish Performance Security, and execute Contract Agreement within 30 days of PS submission or 60 days of LOA, whichever later.
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 downloaded tender document set contains no corrigendum, addendum or pre-bid reply PDF; original NIT/ITT dates, fees and conditions therefore still apply as printed.
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.
ITT D1.1 requires Technical Bid in Physical & Online form (online prevails on discrepancy), but ITT D1.2 immediately states Physical Submission is Deleted / Not required.
Most clauses use https://tender.nprocure.com, while some FoT texts refer to https://gmrctender.nprocure.com.
NIT system requirements specify legally valid Class 3 DSC, while ITT C2.2 allows Class II/III digital signature of authorised signatories.
ITT F5.1 requires Performance Security within 28 days of LOA; GCC 4.2 states within 30 days (extendable to 60 days with 15% p.a. interest).
FoT Appendix-1 maps amount of advance payment to GCC Clause 14.2 but then says “As per clause 11.2 of GCC”; GCC Clause 11 concerns Defects Liability, while actual advance provisions are in GCC 14.2 (5% mobilisation + 5% P&M).
Appendix 2B Note 2 says intermediate LDs are refundable if whole work completes within last key date “(i.e. KD-15 for viaduct and KD-9 for stations and KD-4 for Sabarmati Bridge)”, which matches the tables, but station table also duplicates “KD-5” labels and one KD-5 row appears incomplete on the page break.
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.
Ask GMRC to confirm that ITT D1.2 (Physical Submission Deleted) overrides D1.1’s Physical & Online technical bid wording, and that no hard-copy technical package need be delivered to Karmayogi Bhavan.
Confirm whether bids must be uploaded on https://tender.nprocure.com or https://gmrctender.nprocure.com (or if both resolve to the same tender workspace).
Appendix 2B LD rates are expressed as 0.01% of value of elevated section per week; request the KD table and LD base applicable to the 1.01 km UG design-build portion (Airport station/C&C/ramp).
Seek confirmation of how 90% Class-I local content will be assessed at bid stage for a mixed civil metro package, and whether Class-II bidders remain fully eligible without purchase-preference disadvantage beyond the stated 20% margin rule.
Clarify whether elevated prestressed viaduct experience alone (without UG station in the same similar-work certificate) plus separate A2 UG station experience is acceptable, and whether steel composite/extradosed spans are excluded.
Request current ROW/land possession status for elevated alignment, Sabarmati river bridge working space, Airport UG station/entrances, and whether uncharted utility diversions remain contractor-priced risk under BOQ provisional items.
Confirm that advances are solely per GCC 14.2 (interest-free 5%+5% against BG) and that FoT Appendix-1 reference to GCC 11.2 is an error with no alternate advance regime.
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.
Many intermediate KDs from week 4 onward carry 0.01%/week LDs on elevated section value; aggregate LD/penalties capped at 10% of total Contract Value / final Contract Price.
EMD of INR 8.79 Cr locked up to 240 days (or longer if validity extended) and Performance Security of 10% of ~INR 879 Cr order of magnitude creates very large financing need.
IPC payment period is 56 days with staged 80/20 certification; Employer may withhold up to 100% of a certificate for incomplete progress reports; next 80% tied to prior payment cycle.
Single package couples 4.97 km live-corridor elevated construction (incl. river bridge) with 1.01 km UG C&C design-build under Airport station constraints, heavy interface with track/system contractors, and utility/traffic risks.
Contractor cannot assign without Employer consent, but Employer may assign freely; latent defect liability survives DLP; Employer can part-terminate defaulting JV member and forfeit that member’s PS.
Missing local-content appendices or wrong classification can render a bid non-local/ineligible despite strong technical credentials; land-border registration failures are absolute bars.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
