Procurement and Installation of Complete Elevator Cage of Unit-3 Chimney Lift at Bakreswar Thermal Power Station (BkTPS/BkTPP), West Bengal.
BOQ Item 1 (Code M03-E05-00099): 1 Number complete cage for Mekaster-make chimney lift, capacity 400 kg, front door opening, size (1100 W X 1000 L X 2100 H) mm, duly painted, with listed drive, control, safety and accessory components.
BOQ Item 2: Replacement of Lift cage unit — Installation, Commissioning, Testing — 1 LUMPSUM.
Annexure-V expands erection/testing/commissioning, safety devices, civil inserts, first-fill lubricants, 30-day running/maintenance with operator training, special tools, load test, third-party inspection before handover, scrap disposal, and other completeness obligations.
Lift cage unit must be one-to-one fitted without any modification in the existing system; bidder must mandatorily visit site to understand existing system before bidding.
Materials delivery within 03 months from date of approved Purchase Order; installation & commissioning within Two Months from scheduled delivery date in PO (Annexure-VI says from date of delivery of materials).
Delivery to BkTPP Store; consignee DGM (Store); vendor loads and transports to BkTPS Central Store (O&M); WBPDCL unloads; inspection by EM IPH after delivery; PDI if any intimated later.
Manufacturer’s warranty 12 months from commissioning or 18 months from supply, whichever earlier; service job guaranteed 12 months against bad workmanship; defective materials replaced free within warranty.
Principal bidder may engage WBPDCL-approved authorized sub-contractor for E&C under principal’s active supervision, sole risk & responsibility, no extra cost to BkTPS; workforce needs valid PF & ESI; both must follow BkTPS safety rules.
Annexure-VII is titled 'Technical Specification of the Equipment to be supplied' but the published NIT page contains only the heading (no specification body text).
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.
Online e-tender only via https://wbtenders.gov.in; no manual/hard-copy bid acceptable. Download NIT/SBD/BOQ from portal; upload virus-scanned PDFs (max ~19 MB) and filled BOQ spreadsheet.
Submit in three covers: (1) EMD Fee Details or its exemption; (2) Techno-Commercial Bid; (3) BOQ/Finance. Missing statutory-cover items cause summary rejection.
Class 2 or Class 3 DSC from CCA-authorized CA required for portal registration and for digitally certifying all uploaded bid documents (Class II or Class-III digital signature in name of designated individual with Organisation name).
Uploaded documents must be attested by the bidder with official seal and digitally signed; bid language English; supporting foreign-language docs need accurate English translation.
Original EMD instruments (DD/BC/BG) or e-payment receipt copy / attested exemption certificate must reach Sr. Manager (Purchase), Bakreswar TPS in sealed envelope by the physical EMD deadline; online techno-commercial opens only if EMD physical/upload requirements are met. POA original in physical form also required. Employer may demand original PQR/order hard copies during evaluation.
No deviation permitted; techno-commercial bid must not contain price content or bid is liable to rejection; price-bid deviations forfeit EMD.
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 available tender document set contains only the base NIT (Tendernotice_1.pdf) and BOQ; no corrigendum or addendum file is present, and the NIT Annexure list has no issued amendment attachment.
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.
Four different physical-EMD timing rules appear: Schedule date 24.09.26 16:00; Clause 36.3 BG original 48 hours before bid opening; Clause 36.4 BG original within last date of bid submission (22.09.26 15:00); Clause 36.6 originals/e-receipt before bid-submission closing. Bidder should treat the most conservative compliant reading and seek clarification.
Clause 36.1 says EMD BG format is ANNEXURE-II, but Annexure-II is Bidder Information Sheet; the EMD BG proforma is ANNEXURE-III.
Clause 52.3 says CPG BG format is attached in ANNEXURE-III, but Annexure-III is EMD BG and Annexure-IV is CPG BG.
Clause 52.2 requires CPG within 30 days of PO/WO (or offer validity), but Clause 52.4 says original CPG BG should reach AGM(F&A) 'within the last date of bid submission' — inconsistent for a post-award instrument.
PQR requires ITRs/audited accounts/turnover/net-worth for FY 2022-23, 2023-24 & 2024-25, but Annexure-II turnover slots list 2021–22, 2022–23 & 2023–24.
Clause 6.0 points site-visit/technical queries to 'Clause No. 19' (commercial Purchase contacts) though technical contacts are Clause 18; and points sub-contractor to 'Clause No. 17' (Paying Authority) though sub-contractor rules are Clause 16. Annexure-VI correctly cites Clause 16 for sub-contractor.
Clause 13.0 measures I&C completion as Two Months from scheduled delivery date in PO; Annexure-VI measures Two months from date of delivery of materials.
Document index requires Annexure-VII technical specification of equipment, yet page 33 only prints the Annexure-VII heading after Annexure-VI general conditions.
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 WBPDCL to issue the missing Annexure-VII technical specification of the existing Unit-3 chimney lift / equipment to be matched, including drawings, interfaces, travel height, electrical ratings and control philosophy.
Confirm whether only the manufacturing OEM may bid, or whether an authorized installer/dealer with OEM support can qualify; and what OEM authorization proof is acceptable.
Confirm mandatory dimensional interchangeability (1100×1000×2100 mm and Mekaster interfaces) and what happens if site measurement differs; whether any interface adaptation is allowed under 'without any modification in existing system'.
Seek written clarification of the controlling physical EMD deadline among Schedule 24.09.26 16:00, '48 hours before opening', and 'within last date of bid submission', and whether DD/Pay Order (not only BG) may still be used given portal online/BG emphasis.
Clarify whether NSIC/MSME SSI exemption applies to this package that includes installation, commissioning and testing (Clause 36.7 limits exemption to supply contracts, not work contracts).
Annexure-V requires recommended spares for 3 years to be furnished; confirm whether these are informational only or must be priced in BOQ (BOQ has only cage + I&C lumpsum).
Confirm who pays third-party inspection before handover, which agencies are acceptable, and whether charges are reimbursable or must be built into lumpsum.
Confirm whether Two-Month I&C clock runs from PO scheduled delivery date or actual material delivery, and whether LD @0.5%/week to 10% applies only to undelivered supply or also to delayed installation/commissioning.
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.
Time is essence: delay in material delivery attracts LD @0.5% of undelivered portion per week or part thereof, capped at 10% of total order value; WBPDCL may also terminate and re-procure with contractor liable for losses; risk purchase at contractor’s sole risk and cost.
No deviations allowed; price-bid deviations forfeit EMD; EMD also forfeitable for withdrawal after closure, non-acceptance of LOA, non-submission of CPG, false QR info, etc.; short bid validity rejected.
CPG 10% of ordered value incl. taxes must be submitted before any payment; supply pays only 70% on SRV/GRN and holds 10% through 12-month DLP (or PBG); services pay 90% only after commissioning plus IR and Safety clearances.
Cage must drop-in without modifying existing system; materials outside acceptable parameters are rejected and must be lifted within 45 days at vendor cost; warranty requires free replacement.
Annexure-V pushes civil works, third-party inspection, 30-day continuous running/maintenance with training, capacity load test, unspecified accessories, commissioning spares and 3-year recommended spares list onto the bidder while BOQ has only two priced lines.
Employer may accept/reject any bid, split work, not accept L1, assess capacity, terminate for non-execution, and decide disputes primarily via purchaser with arbitration in Kolkata under Indian Council of Arbitration; contractor performance continues during arbitration.
Conflicting physical EMD deadlines, statutory-cover completeness, DSC signing, unpriced technical BOQ, and all-cell BOQ fill rules create multiple summary-rejection paths before merits are seen.
E&C workforce must have valid PF & ESI; all jobs per BkTPP Safety norms with F&S-approved PPEs; principal remains solely liable even if sub-contracting.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
