Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The Kalyan site has an estimated minimum annual reserve price of Rs. 1,10,000. Financial bids below the minimum reserve price are rejected; award evaluation seeks the highest first-year annual licence fee.
EMD is 5% of the annual reserve price, i.e. Rs. 5,500 for the Rs. 1,10,000 Kalyan reserve price. It must be paid only online by e-payment through the Punjab e-procurement portal and must be valid for 120 days beyond the 120-day bid validity.
Tender document fee is Rs. 2,000 plus the applicable portal processing fee, payable online through RTGS/NEFT/Internet Banking.
The successful bidder must furnish a bank guarantee equal to 25% of the quoted annual licence fee, issued by a Nationalized/Scheduled Indian Bank in favour of the Executive Engineer, and sign the licence agreement within 7 working days of LOA. The guarantee remains valid for 120 days beyond completion of contractual obligations.
First-year licence fee is the accepted annual BOQ amount; it increases cumulatively by 10% each year. Quarterly instalments plus applicable taxes are payable three months in advance before the 7th of the first month of each quarter, commencing from possession after agreement signing.
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.
Average annual financial turnover during the last 3 years ending 31 March of the previous financial year must be at least 100% of the estimated annual reserve price.
Bidder must hold PAN, GST registration and valid EPF registration.
Bidder must undertake that its bid remains valid for 120 days from the date fixed for receipt.
Bidder must not be in default of Water Resources Department dues and must not be blacklisted/debarred. The stricter SCC also rejects firms blacklisted by any government/semi-government body, firms having court cases with the Water Resources Department, and firms connected with payment default under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
The prescribed affidavit requires no abandonment or rescission of government works during the preceding five years, no past debarment/blacklisting by Punjab, Government of India or any State Government agency, and no conviction under Indian or foreign law.
Only one bid may be submitted, either individually or as a partner in a partnership firm; participation in more than one bid disqualifies all affected proposals. No separate consortium/JV eligibility framework is stated.
Only bidders fulfilling ITB 1.1-1.6 qualify technically; conditional bids and bids not meeting qualification criteria on receipt date are summarily rejected.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Licence to develop and operate boating/water-sports activities at the Bathinda Branch canal between RD 109500 and RD 111000 (Kalyan), for 7 years from handover of possession.
Licensee must design and develop required boating infrastructure, obtain all local/State/Central clearances, prepare the dock at the Executive Engineer-selected location, provide visitor parking, drinking water and washrooms, maintain the facility, collect user charges, and transfer immovable assets to the Executive Engineer at expiry.
Licensee must provide safety equipment, life jackets, flashlight, first-aid and fire equipment, trained lifeguards, oxygen/rescue gear and a fast rescue motorboat; boat operators must be trained in swimming and rescue. Boats and gear must comply with Punjab/India guidelines, Indian safety standards and IS Codes.
Slow-moving boats may carry at most 10 passengers. Operating hours are 6am-7pm from 1 April-30 September and 7am-5pm from 1 October-31 March. Operations may be closed for floods, canal closure or other departmental reasons without licence-fee waiver.
All boats, equipment, manpower, maintenance, security, insurance, platforms/jetties, taxes and ancillary expenses are borne by the licensee. Permanent structural additions require approval; subletting is prohibited. Operations must comply with the Northern India Canal and Drainage Act, 1873 and amendments.
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.
Tender-document purchase, EMD and bid submission are online only through www.eproc.punjab.gov.in. No physical-original submission requirement or deadline is stated in the tender documents.
Certified copies of ITB 1.1-1.6 evidence must be uploaded. The bidder must sign the end of every page before upload; e-bids must be signed by a competent, lawfully authorised person, and corrections/overwriting authenticated by that signatory.
Technical eligibility documents are uploaded with tender fee, processing fee and EMD; only technically qualified bidders' financial bids are opened. The prescribed BOQ must be uploaded without modification after entering only bidder name and values.
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.
Because the requisite number of bids was not received, Corrigenda 1-14 successively extended only bid closing and opening, from 06/04/2026 to 08/09/2026. Bidder action: use the latest portal schedule and ensure the bid/EMD remain valid against the amended receipt date.
Bid closing: 08/09/2026 at 10:00. Bid opening: 08/09/2026 at 11:00. No corrigendum changes the reserve price, EMD, eligibility, scope or contract conditions.
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 original 06/04/2026 closing/opening dates conflict with the amended schedule; Corrigendum 14 prevails with 08/09/2026 at 10:00 closing and 11:00 opening.
The IFB column is headed 'Estimated Minimum Annual Reserve Price (Rs. in Lakhs)' but prints '1,10,000' for Kalyan. The numerically stated Rs. 1,10,000 applies, corroborated by the percentage-based EMD structure; bidders should seek portal confirmation because the heading's unit is internally inconsistent.
ITB 1.6 limits the express declaration to Punjab bodies, while SCC 57 and Annexure III use broader government/semi-government or all-India language. Apply the stricter all-government test and disclose relevant Water Resources Department litigation/section 138 payment defaults.
The BOQ header says 'Less (-)' while its Kalyan line says 'Excess(+)', and the line uses quantity 1 'mtr' with estimated rate 1 even though the SBD evaluates the highest annual licence fee. The BOQ extraction also contains a stray 'Construction of chamber for 100mm sluice plates' item after the total. The SBD's highest annual licence-fee method should prevail, but the authority should issue a corrected/clarified BOQ 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.
SCC 25 leaves the mandatory annual closure dates blank while stating that no licence-fee waiver applies. Ask the authority to insert the exact closure dates and expected annual closure duration before bid pricing.
Ask which BOQ entry mode applies (Excess or Less), confirm the quoted value is the first-year annual licence fee rather than an item rate per metre, and remove/confirm the unrelated chamber-construction entry.
Ask for the exact licensed boundary, operating-water envelope, dock location/permissions, possession date and deadline for completing designs, clearances and infrastructure; the tender assigns these obligations but gives no implementation milestone.
Ask for required policy type, minimum cover, beneficiaries and proof timing. SCC 38 says passengers must be insured and imposes Rs.10.00 Lakh per casualty, but does not define the insurance specification.
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.
Licence fee is not waived during the unspecified seasonal closure, temporary high-flow/canal closures, fluctuating water levels, natural calamities or evacuation. The bidder bears demand and water-availability risk while the annual fee escalates 10% cumulatively.
Quarterly licence fee and taxes are prepaid; late sums attract 2% interest per month, and non-payment after 60 days automatically terminates the contract and forfeits security. No interest is paid on security.
Licensee bears sole civil/criminal and financial liability for safe operation, accident, injury/death, insurance claims and consequential losses, must indemnify the Department, and is stated liable for Rs.10.00 Lakh per casualty.
Violation penalties are whatever the Executive Engineer decides; repeated or unsatisfactory performance can cause termination, security forfeiture and debarment. False sworn declarations can also trigger forfeiture, up to three years' debarment and legal proceedings.
A licensee exit requires three months' notice, forfeits performance security and the current quarter fee, and still incurs licence fee during notice. At expiry/termination, premises must be vacated within 14 days or damages may be five times the licence fee; immovable assets transfer to the Executive Engineer.
Each party bears its own force-majeure costs and the Department pays no compensation for financial effects; economic hardship is excluded. Separately, the Department may terminate on 15 days' notice, refunding remaining security and licence fee.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
