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.
Corrigendum-02 sets online opening at 03.09.2026 (11:00 hrs); RFP Cl. 1.3/2.15.2 and TD_NIT/E-tendering print 1130 hours. Corrigendum-02 time (11:00 hrs) prevails for the amended opening date.
RFP Cl. 2.11.2/2.11.4 require physical DD/FDR/Banker’s Cheque Bid Security at RO Shimla; E-Tendering Procedure prints NHAI G-5&6, Sector-10, Dwarka, New Delhi-110075 for the sealed Bid Security envelope while still addressing the envelope to RO Shimla.
DCA Clause 19.10 is titled “Price adjustment for the Works Deleted” but the following sub-clauses still set out full WPI-linked adjustment formulae for road and bridge works.
Operative text bans JV (Cl. 2.1.11, 2.1.11(h), 2.2.2.4 Not Applicable; Appendix-IV/V Deleted), yet detailed JV equity/capacity sharing clauses remain in the RFP body.
Cl. 2.2.2.2(iii) cites 80% of longest span as “6.84 meters”, but Schedule-B span arrangements show individual box cells up to about 9.35 m (80% ≈ 7.48 m). Length criterion 29.68 m (=40% of 74.20 m) is consistent.
TD_NIT, TD_RFP Cl. 1.3/2.14/2.15 and E-Tendering Procedure still state download/BID Due Date 12.08.2026 and opening 13.08.2026; Corrigendum-02 of the same day extends these to 02.09.2026 / 03.09.2026.
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 whether Clause 19.10 “Price adjustment for the Works Deleted” means no PA on the lump-sum Works despite the residual formulae text, and whether bridge steel/cement are still adjustable.
Confirm the longest span of the proposed structures for Cl. 2.2.2.2(iii) similar-work (document states 6.84 m as 80% value) given Schedule-B multi-cell spans up to ~9.35 m.
Confirm that DD/FDR/Banker’s Cheque Bid Security must be delivered only to RO Shimla (RFP) and not to NHAI Dwarka (E-Tendering Procedure boilerplate).
Request flood data, working-season restrictions for khad crossings, and whether existing bridges must remain in service until new box cells are opened (traffic diversion / stage construction).
Confirm final utility inventory (electrical/PH utilities listed in Schedule-A) included in Contract Price, treatment of unidentified utilities, and time relief if utility departments delay shifting beyond Contractor control.
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.
Failure to achieve any Project Milestone or Scheduled Completion Date within 30 days of Schedule-J dates attracts Damages @ 0.05% of Contract Price per day of delay (Force Majeure/Authority delay excepted); refundable without interest if project still completed by SCD including Time Extension.
Clause 19.10 is marked Deleted — if enforced, Contractor bears input-price risk on steel, cement, fuel etc. over the construction period with no PA on Works.
10-year Defects Liability and Maintenance Period after completion; Performance Security must remain valid until 60 days after DLP — long security and maintenance cost exposure on a small Rs.8.82 Cr bridge package.
If Appointed Date does not occur within 90 days of signing and full PS, Agreement is deemed terminated; Authority pays damages of 3% of Contract Price for standalone bridge projects — Contractor still faces bid-cost and opportunity risk.
Multiple automatic Bid Security forfeiture events (withdrawal during validity, failure to sign LOA/agreement, failure to furnish PS/APS); Lowest Bidder failure to submit physical originals → unconditional 5-year debarment from NHAI projects.
Full design liability on Contractor; Schedule B&C quantities/provisions cannot be changed via design; IIT/NIT vetting at Contractor cost; as-built drawings within 90 days of Project Completion Date.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
National Highways Authority of India, Regional Officer – Shimla (Col./Sh. Ajay Bargoti), receives bids correspondence and physical originals.
