Construction of Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Arts and Science College Building Phase-2 belonging to Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Temple, Mylapore, Chennai-04; two-cover PQ & price bid works tender above Rs.5 crores under HR&CE / Joint Commissioner-Executive Officer.
Works relate to the college block (Phase-1 & Phase-2 shown on drawings) under Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Temple, Mylapore, Chennai-600 004. Ground floor and upper floor plans are issued; Schedule B lists temple drawings to be signed by contractor and entering officer.
Item-rate BOQ with 216 Schedule A items including sub-items (BOQ shows main item lines spanning civil structure, finishes and building services). Major civil scope includes 600 mm dia bored cast-in-situ M30 piles (3090 RM), under-reamed piles, pile load tests (IS 2911), earthwork, GSB, anti-termite, PCC/RCC M25–M30, reinforcement, centering, fly-ash brickwork, doors/windows (flush, WPC, UPVC), SS handrails, flooring/finishes, roofing, painting, aluminium works, plus MEP/services such as water supply/sanitary, fire, lifts, electrical panels/cabling, lightning protection, CCTV/data networking and UPS.
18-month contract from site handover with monthly cumulative progress from 5% (1st month) stepping upward, and quarterly milestones (15%/30%/45%/60%/75%/100%). Time is essence of contract.
Works under Tamil Nadu Building Practice (TNBP), NBC references in Schedule A, IS codes for piles/concrete (e.g. IS 456, IS 2911). Contractor arranges water and temporary EB service (disconnect on completion), inspects site/soils before tendering, maintains work at contractor’s risk with insurance against natural calamities until taken over, uses clean river sand or M-sand, pays royalty on private quarries, and follows BOCW Rules 2006 registration/renewal.
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.
Open e-tender, two-cover system (Pre-Qualification & Price Bid) submitted only online via https://tntenders.gov.in. All relevant documents in PDF. Corrigenda/notifications only on the portal, not newspaper. BOQ template must not be modified; upload after filling allowed columns.
All pages of the tender and all Conditions, Plans & Schedules must be digitally signed. Schedule D financial documents must be digitally signed and uploaded or tender rejected. DSC associated with Class IA registration is listed in Annexure-I particulars.
PQ documents evaluated first; only bidders passing all PQ criteria proceed to price-bid evaluation. Tender form must be filled while uploading or liable to rejection. After shortlisting, lowest under-consideration bidder must furnish PERT chart matching departmental time schedule within one week of call letter.
Bid submission is online; no separate physical bid-envelope deadline is prescribed. Working-capital bank certificate must be IN ORIGINAL (as a PQ document). Successful bidder may be required to attend JC/EO office on written intimation and convert EMD/additional SD into NSC/accounts pledged to EO, HR&CE.
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 downloaded tender set contains no corrigendum or addendum file, and tender-pack contents show only the original NIT, PQ extract, two-cover conditions, drawings and BOQ. Bidders must still check https://tntenders.gov.in before bid submission because the notice states corrigenda will be published only on the portal.
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.
Instructions state 2½% of work value is retained from completion for one year (plus four-year indemnity; five-year defect liability). GCC cl.64.1 for original buildings withholds 3½% from the final bill for one year then indemnity for four years. Both regimes appear in the same tender set without reconciliation.
Special Instructions require converting EMD and additional SD into NSC/Accounts pledged to EO, HR&CE. Negotiation clause 49 also allows DD, banker’s cheque, small savings, irrevocable BG or cash to temple account for ≥2% of negotiated price. Post-award security mechanics are stated in overlapping forms.
Cover/instructions/BOQ alternate spellings “Kabaleeswarar” and “Kapaleeswarar” for the same temple/college work; treat as the same project (Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Temple, Mylapore).
Monthly rate-of-progress table in Instructions cl.26 lists months 1–16 (up to 80%) on the extracted page, while contract period is 18 months and quarterly milestones run to 100% at 6th quarter. Completion-month percentages for months 17–18 should be confirmed from the Rate of Progress sheet/PERT requirement.
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 TIA which withheld retention applies at final bill for this original college building—Instructions cl.18/35 (2½% + 4-year indemnity) or GCC cl.64.1(A) (3½% + 4-year indemnity)—and how this interacts with the 5% running-bill withhold and 2% SD.
Schedule D leaves Banker’s Solvency, Net Worth and 3-year Turnover minimum amounts blank while stating at least 6% of contract value shall be fixed. Seek written figures (ideally ≥6% of Rs.26,30,17,735 ≈ Rs.1,57,81,064) so PQ financial papers are not rejected for under-certification.
Clarify whether similar work must be multi-storey educational/institutional buildings, any major building, and whether pile foundation + integrated electrical/fire/lift/CCTV packages must be in the same single agreement for the 50%/25% thresholds.
Staffing matrix for >Rs.50 lakh requires a Project Manager with Conservation Architecture/Civil degree and ≥2 years heritage conservation experience. Confirm whether this heritage PM is mandatory for this new college Phase-2 building or only for heritage/thiruppani works.
Bored pile item states routine test (1.5× safe load, 1 in 100 piles) cost is not included, while separate BOQ items exist for initial and routine load tests. Confirm payment mechanism, quantity assumptions, and whether failed tests/re-tests are contractor’s risk.
Seek single accepted list of instruments and payee details for residual 2% SD / additional SD after online EMD, given NSC-pledge instruction versus negotiation clause allowing BG/DD/cash to temple account.
Confirm that comparative evaluation uses quoted amount excluding GST, that 18% GST is paid extra on running bills as per actual GST law, and how TDS (1%+1%) and ITC interact with temple/HR&CE as recipient.
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. Liquidated damages apply for lapses/shortfall against rate-of-programme milestones; GCC cl.57 allows notice, determination, forfeiture of EMD, SD and withheld amounts, taking possession of plant/materials, and recovery of excess completion cost if progress lags or work is suspended/sublet without sanction.
Rs.13.25 lakh online EMD, top-up to 2% SD on award, extra SD if bid is 5–15% or >15% below estimate, 5% running retention, and no advance on unfixed materials. Low-bid additional SD due within 15 days of acceptance.
For permanent buildings, retention for one year plus indemnity bond for four further years; contractor must rectify defects/substandard work at own cost across the five-year liability window. No interest on withheld moneys/arrears.
Submitting tender implies full soil/site inspection with no later claim. Contractor provides water and temporary power, risk insurance until takeover, royalties for private quarries, BOCW registration/fees, and makes good damage to adjoining buildings/fittings without extra.
Although full price adjustment applies (value >1 crore; period >12 months) when indices move >3%, escalation is limited to quantities per original milestone timeline, uses lesser of scheduled-quarter or actual-use index if late, and ceases for work done beyond agreement period—shifting delay-related inflation risk to contractor. Adjustment works both upward and downward.
Schedule quantities are approximate and alterable at JC/EO discretion; EE may order modifications/omissions/additions. Under TNTA s.10(3), accepting authority may negotiate price reduction with lowest tenderer only if above market/SoR.
Missing Schedule D upload, IT certificate, digital signatures, or false working-capital/ongoing-work particulars trigger summary rejection; turnover certificate discrepancies can lead to blacklisting. PQ failure bars price-bid opening.
Claims ≤ Rs.50,000 go to departmental arbitrator (not below Additional Commissioner, HR&CE per tender form); claims > Rs.50,000 only through competent civil court—limiting fast contractual remedies on a Rs.26+ crore job.
Default in deploying prescribed technical assistants attracts Rs.2,000/month (diploma) or Rs.5,000/month (degree) penalties. Apprentices Act and ex-toddy tapper/ex-servicemen employment clauses add compliance burden; Apprentices Act breach can cancel contract.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
