EMD is Rs. 10,99,454.00. Accepted forms are DD, banker's cheque, insurance surety bond, FDR, bank guarantee/e-BG, or online IMPS/NEFT/RTGS; eligible exempt bidders submit Form F-2A.
CPS/SD is 5% of total order/contract value excluding taxes and duties, due within 30 days of FOA; alternatively, 2.5% initial security plus 2.5% deductions from invoices until 5% is reached.
For Indian bidders, 90% of invoice value including transportation and 100% taxes/duties is paid progressively after receipt at the storage yard and required dispatch/inspection documents; the balance 10% is payable within 30 days after complete receipt and acceptance against indemnity bond and 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 must be either a line-pipe manufacturer or an authorized supplier of one line-pipe manufacturer. Consortium/JV bidding is not applicable, and each bidder may submit only one bid.
The proposed mill must hold a valid API 5L monogram licence for PSL-2; within the last seven years it must have manufactured and supplied (i) at least 1 km in one order of comparable-or-better API 5L PSL-2 pipe, and (ii) at least 5,850 m in one order of comparable-or-better API 5L PSL-2/equivalent, Grade X-46 or higher, minimum 6.4 mm wall thickness.
A mill not audited by GAIL/authorized representative or without a qualifying GAIL supply in the last seven years must provide a Format-A capability certificate issued within the last 12 months by an accepted international inspection agency. The proposed coating plant must have completed one 3LPE coating contract for at least 5,850 m of 8-inch-or-larger pipe in one contract during the last seven years and furnish a valid Format-E capability certificate.
An authorized supplier must source from a manufacturer meeting all mill/coating criteria, submit the prescribed manufacturer authorization valid through the order, and provide the manufacturer's statement that it does not quote directly as a corporate policy. One manufacturer may quote through only one supplier, and one supplier may offer only one manufacturer; post-bid manufacturer change causes rejection.
Minimum average annual turnover is Rs. 324.34 Lakhs over the prescribed three preceding audited financial years; net worth must be positive in the last applicable audited year; minimum working capital is Rs. 64.87 Lakhs.
Bidder must comply with DMI&SP Policy 2025 and submit the prescribed affidavit; only Class-I/Class-II local suppliers may participate under PPP-MII, with minimum local content of 50%/20% respectively. All bidders must submit the local-content self-certification. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India, or having covered ToT, must hold valid Competent Authority registration where applicable.
Bidder must not be under insolvency/liquidation/bankruptcy, conflict of interest, corrupt-practice ineligibility, GAIL/PMC holiday for poor performance or corrupt/fraudulent practice, Government/PSU ban or blacklisting, or GAIL/MoPNG banning list. Affiliates of the project consultant and firms involved in preparing the tender design/specifications are also barred as stated.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Manufacture and supply 19,500 metres of 8⅝-inch (219.1 mm OD), 6.4 mm WT, API 5L PSL-2 Grade X-52N coated carbon-steel line pipe, plain-ended, with minimum 2.0 mm external 3LPE coating; manufacturing process may be HFW or seamless as indicated by the bidder.
Scope includes design/material responsibility, manufacturing, QA/QC programme, inspection/testing and EN 10204 3.2 certification, marking, packing, dispatch clearance, transportation, loading, unloading and stacking at the designated storage yard, plus the specified technical-document submittals and final technical file.
FOT-site delivery is to storage yards in the six GAs: Varanasi, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Exact storage-yard/delivery points and actual location breakup are notified with the release/dispatch order; a common pipe rate and a single freight rate per item/GA apply despite exact-yard changes.
50% of awarded quantity is due within 12 weeks from FOA and the balance within 20 weeks from FOA; delivery timing is of the essence and is measured by receipt at the designated GAIL store.
Manufacture is to API 5L PSL-2 (latest edition) and BANDR/TS/PIPE/CS/01 and /02; 3LPE coating is to BANDR/TS/COAT/PIPE/01. Vendor-appointed TPI must be valid/approved under PNGRB T4S-CGD, with additional witnessing by GAIL/BANDR or its authorized agency.
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 only through the GeM portal: Part-I techno-commercial/un-priced bid and Part-II price bid. No manual/e-mail bid is accepted except prescribed physical originals.
All bid pages must be signed by the authorized signatory holding the POA. Bid documents/correspondence must be in English; other-language documents require an English translation authenticated by the Indian Chamber of Commerce.
Within seven days from bid due date, submit originals of EMD/bid-security declaration, POA, Integrity Pact, line of credit (if applicable), DMI&SP affidavit and any other specifically required original in a sealed envelope to Sri Sandip Talukdar, GM (CS)/Head SBU-II, Bridge And Roof Company (India) Limited, Kankaria Center (5th Floor), 2/1 Russel Street, Kolkata-700071. Scans must be uploaded by bid close.
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.
BDS marks GCC Fall Clause applicable, while the later/more specific SCC expressly says it is not applicable. SCC prevails over GCC/BDS where inconsistent; bidder should price on Fall Clause being not applicable, subject to buyer confirmation.
ITB 11.1.1(i) calls for Form-2 certification and labels it applicable to all bidders, but the printed Form-2 states 'Not Applicable for this Tender'. The bid-specific requirement clause ordinarily governs the form caption, but this pass/fail ambiguity needs written clarification.
GeM item rows show 140 delivery days for the full quantity, while IFB/SCC impose a 50% milestone at 12 weeks and balance at 20 weeks (140 days). The uploaded tender documents prevail over portal conditions, so both the 12-week milestone and 20-week final deadline apply.
GeM states payment within 30 days of CRAC and online bills, whereas SCC divides payment into 90% progressively on receipt and 10% within 30 days after complete acceptance against additional documents. The uploaded SCC is more specific and expressly prevails over GeM/GTC conditions.
The tender compilation prints an older domestic-value-addition affidavit on pages 81-82 and a DMI&SP Policy 2025 Melt & Pour/DVA Form-1 on pages 138-139. BEC specifically invokes DMI&SP Policy 2025, so the 2025 form should prevail, but the buyer should confirm whether both are expected.
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 contractual schedule is 50% within 12 weeks and balance within 20 weeks from FOA, notwithstanding GeM's single 140-day delivery field, and clarify whether PRS applies independently to the 12-week milestone.
Please issue a clarification confirming whether GCC Fall Clause is applicable, because BDS says applicable while SCC 21.1 says not applicable; this directly affects post-award price exposure.
Please confirm whether PPP-MII Form-2 is required despite its caption 'Not Applicable', and identify whether bidders must submit only the DMI&SP 2025 Melt & Pour/DVA affidavit at pages 138-139 or also the older DVA affidavit at pages 81-82.
Please reconcile GeM's 30-day CRAC payment statement with SCC's 90%/10% structure and confirm the event/document set that starts the 30-day clock for each tranche, including Sparsh invoice acceptance.
Please provide tentative quantities and exact storage-yard coordinates for each GA, or a distance/rate-adjustment mechanism, because the bidder must quote a single freight rate while exact points are disclosed only at dispatch.
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.
Delay reduces price by 0.5% of the total price of delayed undelivered quantity per week or part, capped at 5% of total Contract Price (including GST). Delivery is of the essence; GAIL may terminate and procure at supplier's risk and cost.
For each supplier-caused pipe failure during field hydrotest/warranty/DLP, reimbursement is actual landed/replacement/incidental loss or a minimum Rs. 20,00,000 per pipe, whichever is higher, without proof for the minimum; GAIL may deduct, encash BGs, and demand residual payment within 15 days.
If supplier misses pro-rata transport schedule, GAIL may arrange transportation at supplier's risk/cost and recover transport cost plus 10% administration, while all unloading, damage repair, stacking and PRS obligations remain.
Guarantee/DLP is 24 months from receipt of the last bare/coated pipe at warehouse (with the additional modified trigger stated in SCC). Supplier bears full replacement-value insurance until handover to the erection contractor and must replace loss/damage immediately without waiting for insurer settlement.
5% security remains tied up through three months beyond DLP (initial 35 months from FOA/PO); 10% invoice value is retained until complete receipt/acceptance and indemnity/no-claim documents. No interest is payable for payment delay.
GAIL may vary quantity by up to 25% at award and another 25% during contract currency under the GeM option clause. Exact GA delivery points are disclosed later, while freight is fixed, creating raw-material, capacity and logistics-pricing exposure.
Aggregate seller liability is capped at 100% of contract value, but broad direct recovery, indemnity and risk-purchase remedies remain; Indian law applies and Delhi courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
