Pre-bid meeting: 13.07.2026 at 11:30 AM. Questions were requested, as far as possible, one week before the meeting; the formal clarification rule says RVPN responds to requests received not later than 20 days before the original bid deadline.
Online bid submission ends 05.08.2026 at 06:00 PM; original fee/security instruments are due physically by the same time.
06.08.2026 at 11:00 AM at the Project Procurement Officer's office; financial-bid opening will be intimated later to technically qualified bidders.
180 days after opening of the techno-commercial bid; a shorter validity is non-responsive. Any accepted extension must also extend bid security.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Approx. INR 12598.21 Lacs (the NIB also prints Rs. 125.9821 Crore).
Non-refundable bidding-document fee: Rs. 29,500/- (Rs. 25,000 + GST @18%), payable by DD/Banker’s Cheque to Sr. Accounts Officer (EA Cash), RVPN, Jaipur. Non-refundable RISL processing fee: Rs. 2,950/-, payable by DD/Banker’s Cheque to Managing Director, RISL, Jaipur.
Rs. 2,51,96,500.00. Accepted modes: crossed DD/Banker’s Cheque, scheduled-commercial-bank BG, IRDAI-registered insurer’s Insurance Surety Bond, eGrass deposit, or scheduled-bank FDR in the procuring entity’s name with bank undertaking for payment/premature payment on demand.
Bid security must remain valid 30 days beyond the original 180-day bid validity and beyond any extension. No interest is payable. The printed BG form separately mentions a 90-day grace/claim period; see Contradictions.
SCC structure: performance guarantee equals 10% of Contract Value less 10% of total Ex-Works prices of transformers/shunt reactors, plus a separate 10% Ex-Works transformer/reactor performance security. Securities are to extend until 90 days beyond actual DLP. Fifty percent is released on work completion and final bill; balance on satisfactory DLP completion.
If the bid is more than 15% below estimated value, additional performance security equals 50% of the Unbalanced Bid Amount, due in lump sum before agreement; forfeitable if the work misses the stipulated period.
Payments are generally due within 30 days after complete documents/formalities, but no interest, compensation, or time extension is allowed for delayed payment.
Optional 10% advance on Ex-Works equipment and 10% plus GST on ETC/civil charges bears 11.00% p.a. interest and needs a 110% advance BG. For major equipment, after the advance the supply stream is 60% on site supply, 20% on erection, 5% commissioning, 5% TOC; without advance the first tranche is 70%. Services are 70% on erection/execution, 10% commissioning, 10% TOC (80% first tranche without advance).
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 a company, proprietary firm, or partnership; hold an A-Class/equivalent electrical contractor licence valid on technical-bid opening; have valid ESI and EPF, PAN, active GST with returns due through opening, and IT returns for the last three financial years.
Within 10 years in India, either one complete 400kV-or-higher AIS/Hybrid/GIS turnkey switchyard with minimum 2 CB bays and one year satisfactory operation, or four complete 220kV-or-higher turnkey switchyards at four locations with minimum 4 CB bays each, with at least two in satisfactory operation for one year.
Either supplied, erected, tested and commissioned one 400kV-or-higher, 315 MVA-or-higher transformer in India with one year satisfactory operation, or four 220kV-or-higher, 100 MVA-or-higher transformers in India, each meeting the one-year operation requirement.
The offered transformer manufacturer must have Indian manufacturing/testing facilities and, in the preceding 5 years, designed, manufactured, IEC/equivalent-tested and supplied at least two 400kV-or-higher 3-phase transformers of at least 315 MVA; at least one must have operated satisfactorily in India for two years within the preceding seven years.
MAAT: Rs. 9448.66 Lakh (best three of last five FYs). Liquid assets and/or available credit: Rs. 3149.55 Lakh. Net worth on the last day of the preceding FY must be at least 100% of paid-up share capital.
Because bid cost exceeds Rs.25 Crores excluding GST, capacity must exceed bid cost excluding GST using Bid Capacity = A × N × 2 − B, with A, N and commitments B defined in Annexure-A and declared in Schedule-U/Appendices A-C.
JV is capped at two firms. Collectively it must meet 1.2–1.4; lead must meet the stated 400kV/220kV experience and at least 50% of financial/capacity criteria, other partner at least 25% and the remaining technical criteria; every partner must meet net worth. All are jointly/severally liable, only one JV per firm, and the bid needs the prescribed JV agreement and leader POA.
Bidder must not be insolvent, in receivership, bankrupt/winding up, court-administered, suspended, blacklisted or debarred by any utility/government agency, and must have no conflict of interest. Participation in more than one bid also disqualifies all affected bids.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only with registration by the specified GoI/GoR competent authority, subject to the stated exemptions; finished-goods vendors from such countries also require registration.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, engineering, manufacture, testing, FOR-site supply, transport/insurance, storage, erection including civil works, testing and commissioning of a new IEC 61850-compliant 1×500 MVA 400/220kV Sawai Madhopur substation plus 2×220kV feeder bays at Bhadoti.
At Sawai Madhopur: 400kV line bays for LILO of 400kV D/C Twin Moose Hindaun–Chhabra lines; one 500 MVA transformer bay; two 400kV tie bays; two 220kV line bays; one 220kV transformer bay; and one 220kV bus-coupler-cum-transfer bay. At Bhadoti: two 220kV feeder bays terminating the Sawai Madhopur–Bhadoti D/C line.
Includes primary equipment, IEC 61850 SAS and integration, control/protection, PLCC/OLTE, batteries/chargers, lighting, fire protection, HVAC, cables, structures/bus/earthing, LT transformers/switchgear, DG and rooftop solar, tools/testing equipment, spares, soil investigation, transformer/equipment foundations, trenches, roads/rails, drainage, water, fencing, kiosks and other specified buildings/works.
Completion/Taking Over is due 24 months from LOA. 400kV uses one-and-a-half breaker scheme; 220kV uses double-main-plus-auxiliary-bus arrangement. Specific exclusions are NIL; unlisted items essential for satisfactory operation are included without extra scope relief.
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.
Single-stage, two-part online bid on http://eproc.rajasthan.gov.in: electronic technical and financial proposals, with fee/security proof in the EMD envelope/cover.
Type III DSC is required. Every uploaded document must be digitally signed by the authorized signatory; all bid pages except unamended literature must be initialled/digitally signed, and corrections similarly authenticated.
Tender fee, RISL processing fee and bid-security DD/Banker’s Cheque/BG instruments must reach the Superintending Engineer (TBCB Cell), Room 414, Vidyut Bhawan, Jaipur by 05.08.2026 at 06:00 PM; scanned copies must also be uploaded in the EMD cover. Failure causes rejection.
Bid/correspondence must be in English; other-language literature needs a governing English translation. The signatory’s notarized POA must accompany the bid.
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.
ITB/BDS requires security validity for 30 days beyond the 180-day bid validity. Annexure-I instead says the guarantee remains in force only 180 days after opening, with a further 90-day grace period for demands. The substantive BDS/ITB requirement should prevail, but the bidder should obtain confirmation of the exact BG expiry and claim period before issuance.
BDS ITB 32.1 says validity is two months beyond the guarantee period, while GCC payment language and the more specific SCC require 90 days beyond the actual DLP. SCC governs contract performance and is the more specific/latest internal provision, so price and arrange 90 days beyond actual DLP; seek written confirmation because the BDS says 60 days.
GCC payment clause calls the performance security proforma “Annex-II”, but the contents and printed form identify Performance Bank Guarantee as Annexure-III. Use Annexure-III, while confirming with RVPN.
ITB clause 34 says the Code-of-Integrity declaration is Schedule-V, but Schedule-V is actually the Insurance Surety Bond for Bid Security; the printed integrity declaration is Schedule-Q. Submit Schedule-Q (and Schedule-V only if using a surety bond).
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 the exact expiry and claim/grace periods to print in the EMD BG and each performance security, resolving 30-days-versus-Annexure-I wording and 60-days-versus-90-days performance-security wording.
Please provide available geotechnical/contour data, confirmed land possession and handover dates, and clarify treatment of unforeseen subsurface conditions; bidders must test soil pre-bid and are denied relief for later variation.
Please confirm the construction/energization status of the under-construction 220kV Bhadoti GSS, interface boundaries, shutdown availability, and the date its systems will be ready for two new feeder bays and SAS/protection/PLCC integration.
Please identify which BOQ quantities are firm versus bidder-computed and confirm the variation/payment mechanism where approved detailed engineering changes quantities; the tender says unpriced essential items are included and extra quantities for lump-sum items receive no extra payment.
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 of the essence. Delay recovery escalates to 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% of total contract price as delay crosses 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of the scheduled completion period; it can be deducted from payments and does not relieve completion obligations.
Transformer loss LD is INR 8,00,000/kW for differential total-load/I²R/auxiliary loss and INR 10,00,000/kW for no-load loss; equipment is rejectable above +2% maximum loss. Functional-performance LD has no overall limitation and runs separately/concurrently with delay recovery.
Specific exclusions are NIL; essential unlisted items are included. Bidder bears site familiarization and soil testing, while later soil variation gives no contractual relief—material exposure for foundations, levelling, drainage and underground works.
No interest/compensation/time relief for payment delay. Major-equipment supply retains 10% until commissioning/TOC (5% each); service retains 20% until commissioning/TOC (10% each), and the optional advance costs 11.00% p.a. with a 110% BG.
Transformer/shunt-reactor DLP is 36 months; other equipment/material is 12 months. Repaired/replaced items restart DLP, latent-defect liability continues 10 years after DLP, and performance securities run 90 days beyond actual DLP.
The contractor must integrate IEDs supplied by another contractor and execute bays at an under-construction Bhadoti station, creating schedule, access, outage and interoperability dependencies despite the fixed 24-month completion duty.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
