180 days from the Bid End Date. Annexure I still says 120 days; the GeM Bid Details value applies and the conflict is separately flagged.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
INR 6,378,000, inclusive of all taxes. This is stated to guide EMD and eligibility only and not to determine the quoted price or price reasonableness.
INR 63,780, in favour of Chief Engineer Project Pushpak; it must remain valid 45 days beyond the 180-day bid validity (i.e. validity requirement, not a calculated calendar date).
No tender/document fee is specified; GeM states that a buyer-added tender or bid-participation fee would make the bid/resultant contract null and void.
5.00% of contract value, required for 14 months. It is due within 15 days of award and must remain valid two months beyond completion of all contractual obligations; extend it if obligations are extended.
Eight milestone payments total 100%: 3% at 2 weeks; 10% at 6 weeks; 15% at 10 weeks; 15% at 14 weeks; 17% at 20 weeks; 15% at 22 weeks; 20% at 26 weeks; and 5% for revision/support up to 52 weeks.
Each milestone is payable after satisfactory submission and Client acceptance, against a GST-compliant invoice, within 30 days of acceptance; TDS applies. The quoted fee is firm and fixed, with no price variation unless agreed in writing.
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 an Indian-law registered Company, LLP, Partnership or Proprietorship with valid GST registration.
Seven years' past experience in similar services is required, and similar-service value qualification is: three completed services each at least 40% of estimated cost, or two each at least 50%, or one at least 80%, over the stated current and last three financial years.
Base GeM criterion is minimum average annual turnover of INR 50 lakh over the last three years. Separately, mandatory technical evaluation uses the last five years and requires at least 12/20; because available brackets award 10 up to INR 1.5 crore and 15 only above INR 1.5 crore, the practical pass threshold appears to be above INR 1.5 crore average over five years. This material inconsistency needs clarification.
Equipment/software category must score at least 12/20. Acceptable availability is ownership, lease or valid MOU/tie-up for listed survey and soil-investigation equipment; valid licences/subscriptions are required for design software.
Key-personnel evaluation must score at least 18/30. The tender evaluates Team Leader/Project Director, Senior Architect, Senior Structural Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Survey Engineer, Quantity Surveyor and MEP Engineer; qualifications and role-relevant experience must be evidenced.
Firm must not be debarred/blacklisted by any Government Department, PSU or statutory body as of submission; the prescribed declaration extends this to suspension, directors/partners/key personnel, criminal/corruption proceedings and corrupt/fraudulent/collusive/coercive ineligibility. Concealment can cause disqualification, termination and forfeiture.
Consultancy firms and consortia are expressly invited, and a JV's Integrity Pact must be signed by all partners/members or by authorised partner(s) holding POA from all. No consortium-size cap, lead-member rule, equity floor or joint-liability condition is stated in the reviewed tender.
No MSE or startup relaxation applies to experience or turnover, although eligible MSE service providers may claim EMD exemption/purchase preference under GeM rules.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Comprehensive survey, planning, design, DPR and tender documentation for Indian Coast Guard accommodation/infrastructure at two Kamorta-area sites: 13 acres at Shahan Village and 7 acres at Kamorta (20 acres total), with about 7,500 sqm soil-investigation plinth area and 8,500 sqm design floor area.
Topographic/contour survey of 20 acres at 2 m contour intervals; linear surveys for roads/utilities/drainage; boundary demarcation/layouts; and geotechnical investigation at all proposed buildings with at least one borehole per building/structural unit, lab testing, SBC/stratification/groundwater findings and foundation recommendations.
Architectural and RCC structural design for residential, single-living, dining/cookhouse, G+2 administration and ancillary facilities; electrical, water/sanitation, package STP, drainage, rooftop solar with BESS, rainwater harvesting, township planning, roads and external utility networks.
Prepare detailed internal/external E/M, electrification and plumbing BoQs, suggested Tier-1 items/makes, technical specifications, costed estimates and a complete DPR to BRO formats/standards; BoQs use relevant BRO/Delhi PWD SSR and BRO TS.
Seven main deliverables run from inception at week 2 to complete DPR at week 26, followed by comment incorporation/drawing revision support through week 52. Submit 3-5 hard copies plus specified PDF/DOCX/AutoCAD/Excel digital files depending on milestone.
At least two ICG presentations and four design-review meetings are required; draft comments must be incorporated within 14 days. Designs must address coastal conditions, seismic Zone V and cyclone resistance and follow NBC 2016, listed BIS codes, applicable schedules of rates, MNRE/Jal Shakti/CPCB-MoEF requirements and electrical law/rules.
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 on the GeM Portal in two packets: Envelope 1 Technical Bid with no financial information, and Envelope 2 Financial Bid.
GeM uses e-signing; the GTC states Aadhaar-based e-sign is legally at par with a digital signature. No DSC class is specified in these documents.
Upload the scanned EMD instrument and deliver its hard copy to the Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening under GTC; the FDR-specific ATC says within 5 days of Bid End/Bid Opening. A successful bidder using DD for performance security must deliver the original within 15 days of award. No other bid document may be made physically mandatory except signed Integrity Pact, which GeM allows within 5 days of bid opening.
Bid forms require authorised-signatory signature and company seal. Integrity Pact signing depends on entity type: proprietor/POA holder; all partners or POA holder authorised by all; company representative authorised by Board resolution; and all JV members or POA holder(s) authorised by all.
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 RFP's final-page Important Note changes the GeM item-category wording by deleting the embedded figure “6375000” and adds an arbitration provision referring disputes to a sole arbitrator under IAFW-1815(Z), with HQ DGBR as appointing authority. Bidder action: price against the actual ToR/GeM financial fields rather than treating 6375000 as the fee, and obtain written clarification because GeM Bid Details still say Arbitration Clause: No.
No date-extension corrigendum is present in the tender folder. Final document values are: bid end 22-09-2026 12:00; opening 22-09-2026 12:30; bid validity 180 days; estimated bid value INR 6,378,000; EMD INR 63,780; ePBG 5% for 14 months; item-category wording to be read without “6375000”.
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.
GeM Bid Details require 180 days from Bid End, while the prescribed Letter of Bid says 120 days from submission. Use 180 days because it is the platform Bid Details requirement; amend the Letter of Bid wording or seek confirmation before submission.
Bid Details state INR 50 lakh average over three years, but mandatory technical evaluation scores five years and requires 12/20; the published bands give only 10 marks up to INR 1.5 crore and 15 above INR 1.5 crore. Both appear in GeM/RFP, making the practical pass threshold much higher; obtain written clarification rather than relying on INR 50 lakh alone.
Evaluation requires seven experts including a separate Senior Architect and allows the Team Leader to be Civil Engineering or Architecture qualified; deployment lists only six positions, merges Team Leader/Principal Architect, and requires B.Arch with CoA registration. The more role-specific Section 5 deployment condition is stricter, but the scoring cannot be completed consistently; seek an amended personnel schedule.
Section 10 says Annexure IV is the Financial Bid Form and Annexure V the Project Data Sheet, but the printed page 26 labels the Project Data Sheet “Annexure IV”; no Financial Bid Form is printed. The GeM financial bid fields control submission, but obtain the intended fee schedule/price-breakup format.
GeM Bid Details say no arbitration and no mediation; RFP Section 7.6 calls for negotiation/mediation/DRB, while the final Important Note requires sole arbitration under IAFW-1815(Z). The final-page specific note appears intended to amend the RFP, but it conflicts with platform fields and the GeM warning against contradictory ATCs; written confirmation is required.
RFP Clause 7.8 first states a 5% total-contract ceiling, then the continuation states 10% for inordinate delay. Read together, 5% applies ordinarily and the express inordinate-delay exception raises it to 10%; this also matches the GTC definition of delay beyond 25% of completion period.
Page 29 requires broad declarations including BRO workload capacity and notarisation; page 38 contains a different text that appears to request review of those very conditions, yet says it forms part of the tender/contract. Neither document says which supersedes the other. Do not assume either is dispensable; seek confirmation and, absent clarification, submit both.
GeM estimated bid value is INR 6,378,000, item-category text formerly contained 6,375,000 (deleted by the Important Note), and consignee data gives project-to-be-managed value INR 7,087,000. Only INR 6,378,000 is expressly the estimated bid value; confirm the denominator for the percentage-based fee.
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.
Will compliance be judged at INR 50 lakh average for three years, or must the bidder score 12/20 on five-year turnover (which the bands appear to require above INR 1.5 crore)? Request an explicit pass/fail threshold and financial-year set.
Confirm whether seven experts are mandatory, whether Senior Architect is separate, and whether Team Leader may be B.E./B.Tech Civil or must be B.Arch/CoA registered; also correct Appendix-IB, which labels Key Personnel as 20 although the evaluation total is 30.
Provide the missing Annexure IV Financial Bid Form/price-breakup template and identify the percentage-fee base: estimated bid value INR 6,378,000, project-to-be-managed value INR 7,087,000, or another approved project cost. Confirm whether the amount is a ceiling and how plus/minus scope deviation is calculated.
Confirm whether disputes are non-arbitrable per GeM fields, subject first to mediation/DRB, or finally arbitrated under IAFW-1815(Z); provide the incorporated IAFW-1815(Z) conditions if arbitration is intended.
State whether page 29, page 38 or both must be submitted, and whether non-BRO-enlisted firms can pass the DGBR workload-return criterion. The page 38 text itself asks for this restriction to be reviewed but records no ruling.
Issue corrected Annexure numbering and a revised Letter of Bid showing the platform's 180-day validity instead of 120 days, so bidders do not alter a prescribed form without authority.
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.
Kamorta work requires air/sea travel, advance planning, loaded-equipment permits and entry tax for equipment registered outside the UT. Bidder is deemed to have inspected and priced access/approaches and site conditions even if it does not visit; no extra payment is allowed for misunderstanding.
Complete DPR is due at week 26, with client revisions through week 52; IIT structural vetting, ICG/BRO approvals, at least two presentations and four review meetings are included. Acceptance/technical-feasibility approval gates milestone payment, creating schedule and cash-flow exposure outside the consultant's sole control.
Delay attributable to the consultant attracts LD at 0.5% of delayed-portion value per week/part, ordinarily capped at 5% and up to 10% for inordinate delay. Extensions do not entitle added fees unless formally agreed, and no price increase is allowed during delayed extensions.
Fee is firm/fixed; the buyer may alter quantity/duration up to 25%, and plus/minus deviations are priced pro rata to the deliverable schedule/ToR. Price the approximate areas, surveys, boreholes, travel, vetting and review cycles carefully because the scope matrix is reference/approximate.
Milestone payment is conditional on satisfactory acceptance, stated at 30 days after acceptance, and no payment becomes due until the 5% performance security is received and verified. The consultant must pre-fund deployed staff wages and statutory dues.
Client may terminate all/part with 30 days' notice and pay only satisfactory work on default. All drawings/reports become BRO/GoI property, confidentiality is strict, and the DPR consultant cannot bid for resulting construction works.
EMD may be forfeited for withdrawal/derogation during validity, false/misleading/forged bid documents, or failure to furnish performance security; GeM may also debar. Contract default can forfeit performance security and trigger rating downgrade/debarment.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
HQ Chief Engineer (Project) Pushpak, Border Roads Organisation, Ministry of Defence, Government of India; tender correspondence forms address the Chief Engineer (Projects) Pushpak, C/o 99 APO.
HOD/grievance and pre-bid email: [email protected]. Buyer email: [email protected].
Physical EMD/PBG originals are to the Buyer/Chief Engineer Project Pushpak. The bid gives beneficiary addresses as HQ CE(P) Pushpak, Thuampui, Aizawl, Mizoram, PIN 796017, or HQ CE(P) Pushpak, PIN 931711, C/o 99 APO; it does not identify one unambiguous courier/receiving address, so confirm before dispatch.
