Online proposal submission closes on 15.10.2026 at 1500 hrs; document download closes earlier that day at 1100 hrs.
The techno-commercial proposal opens on 16.10.2026 at 1500 hrs; financial opening will be intimated later.
100 days from the technical proposal opening date. No extension beyond 150 days will be granted; the bidding process lapses if LoA is not issued within 150 days.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The underlying EPC project cost is Rs. 883.85 crore. The documents do not state a fixed estimated consultancy tender value; the Authority fixes the service cost while bidders quote performance security and the financial quote through the schedules.
Rs 10,00,000; a Bid Securing Declaration is not permitted. EMD may be e-BG, insurance surety bond, account-payee DD, FDR, banker’s cheque, prescribed bank guarantee, or acceptable online payment, and must remain valid 45 days beyond proposal validity.
Non-refundable Rs. 5,000, payable online to NHIDCL at proposal submission; upload the payment receipt.
Bidder quotes the performance security in the financial proposal, subject to a minimum 5% of contract price. Submit it within 10 days of LoA; it remains valid until 60 days after completion of all contractual obligations. Permitted forms include insurance surety bond, DD, FDR, acceptable online payment, or prescribed bank/e-bank guarantee.
Time-based remuneration and actual reasonable reimbursables are paid at contract rates. Itemized monthly invoices with receipts/supporting records are due within 15 days after each month; supported invoices are payable within 30 days, with 9% p.a. interest for delayed supported amounts.
A 10% advance in INR is payable within 60 days after verification of the advance-payment bank guarantee and is recovered with interest in equal instalments over the first 12 months under the SCC. The GCC requires a guarantee equal to 110% of the requested advance. Final payment follows approved final deliverables/invoice and a no-claim certificate.
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 an individual, company/LLP/partnership/society, public entity, or JV/consortium, and must be a consultancy-service provider holding applicable GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI and labour/equivalent registrations.
In the last 7 years: DPR/feasibility/preliminary-design experience for IL/2/4/6-laning or bridge projects aggregating at least the project length or 50 km, whichever is more; supervision/IE/AE/PMC experience aggregating at least 3 times the invited similar-project length; and at least one similar supervision project of 40% of project length. Only Government-agency projects count.
Updated average annual turnover for the last 3 years from civil-engineering consultancy must be at least 3% of the estimated civil project cost. Submit audited balance sheet and/or banking reference plus a statutory-auditor certificate with UDIN confirming relevant turnover.
Because project cost is below Rs. 1,000 crore, maximum 2 JV members. Each member must hold at least 10%; lead at least 40%; maximum one non-substantial member (10%-20%). All members are jointly and severally liable. Lead must meet at least 50% of individual minimum technical/financial criteria and each other substantial member at least 25%; technical credentials aggregate across all members, financial credentials exclude non-substantial members. Submit a certified binding MoU on Rs.100 stamp paper.
Bidder and relevant affiliates/subsidiaries/sub-consultants must not be insolvent; debarred/blacklisted/banned by MoF/MoRTH/NHAI/NHIDCL/BRO/PWD; convicted or Government-wide debarred in the preceding 3 years for listed offences; using a renamed/allied entity to evade debarment; affected by prohibited retired-official relationships; or in conflict of interest. Participation in more than one proposal is disqualifying.
Reciprocity restrictions apply. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the DPIIT Registration Committee, subject to stated exceptions; the certificate must accompany the proposal.
Technical proposal must score at least 70/100. Residual AE/IE capacity R = CL × TF − RP must exceed the tentative project length; it is computed for each JV member and share-weighted. Only one CV per key position is allowed, and CVs without the prescribed medical-fitness certificate receive zero marks. Key experts must meet the role-specific essential qualifications on RFP pages 269-279.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Authority’s Engineer consultancy for supervision of EPC construction of the 42.06 km Intermediate Lane Pango–Jorging section, Design Km 40+000 to 82+060, Frontier Highway NH-913, Package-II, greenfield alignment, Arunachal Pradesh.
90 months: 30-month construction period plus 60-month maintenance/DLP period. TOR covers development/design, construction and maintenance; the AE is intended to be engaged at least 3 months before the project appointed date.
Review EPC schedules/DPR and recommend scope changes; review/approve contractor drawings, investigations and revisions; verify material sources; review QAP/method statements; monitor contractor personnel, progress, quality, safety, tests, defects and traffic arrangements; advise on change of scope and contract administration.
Monthly reports are due within 10 days of each month’s start; contractor MPR comments within 7 days; daily inspections require RFI scans, daily report, witnessed-test readings and at least six high-resolution photographs; the monthly inspection report is due by the 7th.
During maintenance, conduct joint monthly inspections, monitor defects and maintenance programme, and carry out prescribed daily/weekly and equipment-based road-condition assessments. Required inspection technologies include network survey vehicle, mobile quality-control unit, FWD, mobile bridge inspection and retro-reflectometer; applicable standards include EPC specifications, IRC SP 112, ISO 9001 and cited IRC testing/inspection standards.
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 at https://eprocure.gov.in in two covers: signed technical PDFs without price information, and the protected Excel financial proposal separately. No manual proposal is accepted except expressly required physical originals.
Use a portal-compatible DSC. Digitally sign every uploaded statement/document/certificate; JV proposal must be signed by an authorized representative backed by written powers from every member. Upload legible, non-password-protected PDFs and do not alter downloaded tender/BOQ content.
Physically submit the original EMD instrument in sealed double cover and obtain acknowledgement before 15.10.2026 at 1500 hrs at the TIS address for Sh. Surendra Yadav, General Manager (Tech.), 1st floor, Tower A, World Trade Centre, Nauroji Nagar, New Delhi-110029. Other originals are produced only when called for verification.
Firm and all key personnel must register/enlist on INFRACON, form the bidding team, and quote the unique INFRACON Team ID in the proposal.
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.
TIS states 100 days from proposal opening, while generic ITC text states from the proposal-submission deadline. AITC says it prevails over ITC, and the TIS project-specific value should be followed: 100 days from opening.
RFPL/TIS label this International Competitive Bidding, but AITC states Global Tender Enquiry (International Competitive Bidding) is not allowed and foreign currencies are prohibited. The later, specific AITC restriction governs proposal currency/participation mechanics, but the tender classification should be clarified.
The TOR correctly identifies Pango–Jorging/NH-913 but also calls the work ‘Two-Laning/Intermediate Laning of the Andaman Trunk Road’. The repeated tender title and chainages prevail; the Andaman Trunk Road wording is an unresolved template error.
TIS/SCC require the bidder to quote at least 5%, while BOQ Sheet 2 shows an estimated rate of 10 against the performance-security item although its description repeats the 5% minimum. The contractual minimum is 5%, but the workbook entry method should be clarified before pricing.
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 the binding validity is 100 days from techno-commercial opening (16.10.2026), not 100 days from submission, and state the calendar expiry date for both proposal and EMD.
Please confirm whether foreign firms are eligible, given the ICB classification but AITC’s statement that ICB/GTE is not allowed, and confirm that all proposals and payments must be INR.
Please issue a correction deleting ‘Andaman Trunk Road’ and confirm that all TOR duties, deliverables and staffing apply only to the Pango–Jorging NH-913 Package-II project.
Please confirm exactly what value bidders must enter in BOQ Sheet 2 (absolute amount or percentage), whether the prefilled estimated rate 10 has any binding effect, and how quotes between 5% and 10% are entered and scored.
Please clarify the applicable escalation if EPC construction is extended: SCC states no escalation only when extension exceeds one year, while remuneration rates are otherwise described as fixed unless the contract provides price adjustment. This materially affects 90-month staffing prices.
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.
Consultant-caused delay attracts 1% of the related monthly bill per week or part, plus denial of post-original-date tax/price increases. Aggregate delay damages are capped at the higher of 10% of total contract value or the performance-security amount; delays above 25% of the completion period may be recorded as poor performance/breach.
Annexure-I permits 1% of consultancy fee per repeated lower-tier lapse (aggregate up to performance guarantee), non-performer status, removal/debarment of key staff up to 2 years, and firm debarment up to 2 years for major quality/design/payment/COS failures.
Performance security is bidder-selected subject to 5% minimum and carries 20% evaluation weight. A competitively high security quote increases cash/guarantee exposure and also raises the possible delay-damages cap because that cap is the higher of 10% contract value or performance security.
The 90-month assignment may extend concurrently with EPC time extension, subject to satisfactory performance and the original consultancy-period limit; SCC states no escalation where construction extension exceeds one year. Price long-duration staff and site overheads conservatively.
Authority may withhold amounts/security against claims under this or other Government contracts, without interest or damages while the claim is pending. On-account certificates may also be withheld where performance standards are not met.
No Team Leader replacement is allowed under SCC. Fake/inflated CVs can trigger blacklisting; during execution the firm must refund salary/perks with 12% interest plus a 10% penalty.
Bidder bears site-condition, logistics, legal and environmental due diligence risk and cannot seek relief for failing to investigate. No rooms, furniture, transport, IT or other facilities/utilities are provided by the Authority.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
