All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
The tender documents are dated 15 Sep 2026; no publication time is printed.
The PDFs do not state the clarification/pre-bid deadline, bid-submission deadline, bid-opening date, or a bid-validity duration; Appendix A directs bidders to the portal critical dates. These values must therefore be checked on defproc.gov.in before submission.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
₹ 2000.00 Lakh (approximately ₹20 crore), stated as an at-par market estimate and not a guaranteed contract value.
₹ 3000.00 by DD/Banker’s Cheque from a Scheduled Bank in favour of GE (P) NDA, payable at Pune. A bidder that quoted in the previous call is exempt in a retender.
₹ 13,25,000.00 in favour of Garrison Engineer (P) NDA. Appendix A accepts Deposit at Call Receipt or Demand Draft payable at Pune and rejects FDR; the general instructions also allow a Treasury Challan but reject cheque and bank guarantee. EMD applies to unenlisted bidders and MES-enlisted bidders without the Standing Security Bond; MSMEs are not exempt. No EMD validity/claim period is printed.
The successful contractor must provide 5% of the contract sum within 28 days of acceptance, as a prescribed bank guarantee, Government securities, FDR, Insurance Surety Bond, or another Government instrument stipulated by the Accepting Officer. A BG must be from a Nationalized/Scheduled Indian bank, valid through the 24-month defects-liability period plus at least 60 days, and extended until final-bill payment if necessary.
This is an item-rate contract: BOQ quantities are provisional and final executed quantities are measured under GCC Condition 7. Schedule-of-credit recoveries are deducted from the BOQ/acceptance amount; the listed total credit is Rs. 84,06,525.00. Eligible non-perishable manufactured materials at site may receive full-value advance against a Scheduled Bank guarantee for retention money, with claims at intervals of at least 15 days. Draft star-rate work receives 80% part payment pending final rate approval.
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.
Must be enlisted in Class ‘SS’, category a(i), with current renewal, and must not carry adverse remarks in the Workload Return or a similar report from the competent engineer authority.
An unenlisted contractor must meet the MES Class ‘SS’, category a(i) enlistment criteria for satisfactory completed-work value, annual turnover, bank solvency, working capital and the other requirements of paragraphs 1.4 and 1.5, Section 1, MES Manual of Contracts 2020. The tender does not reproduce the numeric thresholds, so they must be verified from that manual.
Unenlisted bidders must have no adverse MES workload report (if already working in MES) and must not be suspended, debarred or blacklisted—permanently or temporarily—by the listed Central/State Government, PSU, autonomous or local bodies as of bid-submission end.
MES contractors one class below may be considered. If fewer than seven otherwise-eligible bids exist, residual work must not exceed five times the bidder’s present tendering limit unless the bidder meets upgradation criteria. If seven or more bids exist, only one-class-below bidders with satisfactory similar-work experience and full upgradation criteria are considered.
An unenlisted contractor already executing MES works is ineligible when their total value exceeds twice the tendering limit of the MES class for which it is eligible. An unenlisted contractor that has secured two MES works must register in the appropriate class before further participation.
Foreign firms are ineligible. Indian firms with foreign-national/overseas/foreign-citizen directors require security clearance. Only one bid per contractor/firm is permitted, and related firms/common proprietors, partners or directors cannot compete separately.
The only express JV-specific rule found is execution of the Integrity Pact: all JV partners/members must sign, or one or more partners may sign under a power of attorney from all partners/members. No JV size, lead-member or equity threshold is printed.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Construction of boundary wall at various locations under GE (P) NDA, including demolition of existing wall, as an item-rate contract governed by the BOQ, drawings, Special Conditions and Particular Specifications.
Complete within 24 months from site handover under Work Order No. 1. Because of security, the full site will not be available initially; GE will hand it over in stretches, and the next stretch follows only after the preceding wall reaches at least 2.1 m above ground.
Provide, maintain, relocate and remove minimum 2.1 m-high barricading for at least 300 m or the entire active work length; no separate payment is made.
The BOQ includes 3,940 m³ demolition of brick/stone masonry; excavation in soil and rock including 6,562 m³ hard rock where blasting is prohibited; PCC/RCC, reinforcement, masonry, plaster/pointing/painting, weep holes, steelwork and related finishes; and 18 mechanical 150 mm-diameter, 5 m-deep boreholes with laboratory testing and five original soil-investigation reports with photographs.
At water passages, the design permits steel grating for openings up to 2.5 m subject to suitability, 2.5 m upstream/downstream hardcore and PCC protection, and column footings at least 2.0 m below the water-passage bed.
Work follows MES SSR Part I-2009 and Part II-2020; where those and the Particular Specifications are silent, relevant Indian Standards/Codes apply. Materials must carry relevant specification/IS certification, with Particular Specifications taking precedence over MES Schedule where inconsistent.
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 online at https://www.defproc.gov.in under a single-stage, two-cover system: Cover 1 contains technical/eligibility PDFs and fee/EMD scans; Cover 2 contains the priced BOQ XLS. Email, fax, hand and postal bids are not accepted.
The online bid must use a valid DSC belonging to or properly authorized for the uploader. After acceptance, all tender pages, corrections and alterations must be signed/initialled; the accepted tender is signed, dated and witnessed where provided.
The specific Appendix A rule requires original fee DDs and EMD instruments, as applicable, at the Office of Chief Engineer Pune Zone within 5 days after bid-submission end. The original signed Integrity Pact goes by post with the demand draft. Instruction 5.8 also calls for hard copies of signatory-authority documents within 5 days.
During Cover-1 evaluation, the authority may request shortfall documents through defproc.gov.in; failure to cure within the stated period prevents opening of Cover 2. The Integrity Pact omission is similarly curable once, after which the technical bid is rejected.
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.
The forwarding letter says enlisted-bidder physical documents must reach CE Pune Zone before the due date/time, while Appendix A and Instruction 5.8 allow receipt within 5 days after bid submission. Follow the specific Appendix A rule—within 5 days after bid-submission end—but obtain portal clarification because the earlier wording is stricter.
Appendix A specifically permits Deposit at Call Receipt or Demand Draft and rejects FDR; Instruction 1 lists Deposit at Call Receipt or Treasury Challan and rejects cheque/BG. Use Appendix A’s tender-specific DACR/DD route (FDR prohibited); seek written confirmation before relying on Treasury Challan.
The performance-security refund clause says the DLP is in Special Condition 36, but Condition 36 concerns tax variation. The actual DLP is Special Condition 38: 24 months from certified completion; that value prevails.
Most controlling tender pages identify CA No. CEPZ/PNA/TOKEN-34 OF 2026-27, but Schedules B-D and adjacent pages show 2025-2026. The NIT and title/BOQ identification use 2026-27, which should be used for the bid; the older year appears to be a carry-forward typo.
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.
Request a signed schedule confirming clarification/pre-bid cutoff, bid-submission end, bid opening and bid-validity duration, because the tender PDFs defer the first three to portal critical dates and mention validity without stating a duration.
Ask the authority to state the exact Class SS category a(i) completed-work, turnover, solvency and working-capital thresholds and the applicable MES Manual revision; these pass/fail numbers are incorporated by reference but not printed.
Seek minimum concurrent fronts, sequence/length of stretches, access hours and contractual EOT/compensation treatment for delayed fronts. The 24-month clock runs from handover while GE may release stretches only after each preceding wall reaches 2.1 m, with no claim allowed.
Confirm geotechnical baseline, accepted non-blasting hard-rock methods, disposal/ownership, borehole/trial-pit locations and whether the BOQ’s ‘500m interval’ for undisturbed samples is intended to be 500 mm. This affects major excavation and foundation pricing.
Request one definitive, revision-controlled drawing register and written precedence for site plan, structural drawing and numerous TD drawings. The tender deems even unenclosed referenced drawings part of the contract and bars later claims for interpretation/applicability/deviation.
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.
All work is in a restricted area with searches, passes, constrained gates/hours and reduced productive time. GE controls phased fronts, the site is accepted as-is-where-is, and no claim is allowed for incomplete/staggered handover; programme and preliminaries risk is high.
BOQ quantities are provisional and deviations up to ±10% may be ordered. In addition, Rs. 84,06,525.00 schedule credit is deducted from the acceptance amount and actual recovered demolition/excavation quantities are measured, exposing the bidder to quantity and salvage-value risk.
The BOQ carries 6,562 m³ of hard-rock excavation but prohibits blasting. Method, productivity, noise/security permissions and disposal logistics should be priced conservatively.
Performance security is 5% and can remain locked through the 24-month DLP plus 60 days, longer if the final bill remains unpaid; refund also requires final payment and a No-Demand Certificate.
MES supplies no water; bidder-funded borewells become Government property without reimbursement. Electricity, if bought from MES, costs Rs. 13.84/unit and continuity is not guaranteed, with no compensation for interruption. Temporary approaches and barricading are also at bidder cost.
The minimum deployment is three graduate engineers with five years’ experience, five diploma engineers with eight years’ experience, extensive T&P and a site laboratory. Inadequate deployment is a serious breach attracting ban/removal/downgrading/debarment, and extra resources needed to meet time receive no additional payment.
The tender warns that unsatisfactory progress may trigger compensation and cancellation, but the rate/mechanics are only in incorporated IAFW-2249, which is not enclosed. Arbitration generally cannot begin until completion/termination, and after abandonment/cancellation waits until Government finalizes alternate completion arrangements.
