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.
28
Submission mode and portal

Bidder must purchase bidding documents online by paying tender fee.
Before submitting, bidders shall mandatorily register/enlist themselves (firm and all key personnel) on https://pwd.mahaetenders.in.
Upload documents as PDF/RAR with digital signature.
Financial bid: upload blank tender copy (Word format issued and digitally signed by Department) and submit offer online; if figure/words differ, lower offer prevails.
Conditional bids / deviations are non-responsive and summarily rejected.
CSD issued and digitally signed by department must be accounted for in the bid.

See contradictions on opening circle (Nagpur vs Chandrapur).
Corrigendum analysis
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.
1
No corrigendum / addendum in document set
The available tender pack (Tendernotice_1.pdf, DTP2201Open.pdf, BOQ_2273809.xls) contains no issued corrigendum, addendum or CSD amendment file; original document values therefore currently apply, subject to any later portal CSD/schedule updates.
E-tender schedule fields themselves defer dates to the portal schedule.
Bidders should still monitor https://mahatenders.gov.in for any CSD after pre-bid.
Contradictions
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.
6
Joint Venture allowed vs not allowed
Qualification list says 'Joint venture Not Allowed', and Form B-1 heading says JV bids are not acceptable, yet the same Form B-1 immediately sets detailed conditions under which JV may bid.
Action: seek written clarification/CSD before relying on JV; safest reading for bid/no-bid is that 1.4.13 expressly disallows JV for this tender, but residual JV drafting creates compliance risk.
EMD acceptable instruments — BG mentioned only in notice table
Tender notice table lists Online/RTGS/NEFT/payment gateway or DD/FDR/BG for earnest money, while Clause 1.8 body accepts online/DD/FDR and rejects cheques or any other form, without clearly restating BG.
Bid opening authority location — Nagpur vs Chandrapur
Detailed Tender Notice names Superintending Engineer, P.W. Circle Nagpur as Bid opening Authority, while Form B-1 says Superintending Engineer, P.W. Circle, Chandrapur will open tenders.
Cover hierarchy lists Circle Chandrapur under Region Nagpur; confirm actual opening venue from portal schedule/NIT.
Pre-bid date printed vs schedule-by-portal
Detailed Tender Notice prints pre-bid on 11.02.2026 @ 15:00 at S.E. P.W. Circle Chandrapur, while the E-Tender Schedule table leaves pre-bid blank / points other key dates only to the e-portal schedule.
11.02.2026 appears inconsistent with a 2026-27 second-call package whose other dates are portal-driven; verify live portal schedule before attending.
Portal URL variants
Documents alternately cite https://mahatenders.gov.in, https://pwd.mahaetenders.in and https://pwd.maha.etenders.in for download/submission.
Use the live NIC Maharashtra tender portal path that hosts this tender ID and follow the toolkit there.
Hard-copy essential vs non-bar to opening
Papers say physical submission of hard copy is essential, yet also say non-submission does not bar opening the e-offer and that the downloaded tender may be treated as hard copy if the bidder is lowest.
Still plan to submit hard copy within 72 hours to avoid discretionary risk.
Pre-bid queries
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.
6
Confirm whether JV is permitted for this second call
Ask authority to state categorically if JV/consortium bids are acceptable, given 1.4.13 'Not Allowed' versus detailed JV conditions on p.29 and multiple EMD/APS references to JV partners.
Material to bid structure, lead-partner equity and document packaging.
Confirm live pre-bid date/venue and bid schedule
Request confirmation of actual pre-bid date/time/venue and the binding download/submission/opening timestamps on the portal, because the printed 11.02.2026 pre-bid may be stale template text.
Also confirm whether any CSD will be issued if pre-bid is skipped/rescheduled.
Define 'similar Work' for building first-floor experience
Ask whether only building/RCC building works count as similar, or whether any civil work of the stated value qualifies; this decides pass/fail on 1.4.15(ii).
Also confirm treatment of private-building certificates at double value/quantity.
Seek clarification whether hire/lease is totally barred for the 30 cum/hr SCADA batching plant and three 7-cum TMCs, and whether the Rs.2 lakh SCADA FDR route applies only to SCADA retrofit or can cover plant non-ownership.
Ownership of a 30 cum/hr plant within 30 km is a high capital barrier for an ~Rs.1.88 Cr building job.
EMD by Bank Guarantee acceptability
Confirm if BG is an accepted EMD instrument for this tender, or only online/DD/FDR as per Clause 1.8.
Confirm bid-opening circle and hard-copy consequences
Ask which Superintending Engineer office will open bids (Nagpur vs Chandrapur) and whether missing the 72-hour hard copy can still lead to any post-award rejection despite para 11.
Risks
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.
9
Heavy liquidated damages for delay
Compensation up to 1% of estimated cost per day for delay in start/progress/completion, capped at 10% of estimated cost; time is essence of contract.
Milestone failures at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full work attract the same daily compensation regime.
SE is final authority on the amount.
10-year defect liability on building work
Proper Building Work DLP is 120 months (10 years); contractor must rectify defects at own cost, else department recovers cost as arrears of land revenue and from amounts payable.
90% SD released only after 2 years; 10% retained till DLP end (or replaced by BG if DLP > 2 years).
Long tail risk relative to a 12-month construction period.
Below-rate APS cash lock and non-extendable 8-day deadline
Deep below quotes require large additional performance security within a non-extendable 8 days; failure rejects L1 and may shift work to L2 negotiation.
Work order only after DD encashment/FDR-BG confirmation — delays cash and start.
Offers >10% below also trigger justification scrutiny of executability.
Owned heavy plant barrier and SCADA forfeiture
Mandatory owned 30 cum/hr SCADA batching plant within 30 km plus three owned transit mixers is onerous for this size of building job; SCADA non-readiness requires Rs.2 lakh FDR and 30-day commissioning or work order cancellation/forfeiture.
Forged-document blacklisting and IPC exposure
False/forged papers at any stage (tender, execution, DLP) trigger blacklisting, non-opening of financial bid, possible tender cancellation and criminal proceedings under IPC; department officers disclaim responsibility for contractor papers.
PWD disclaims liability for website downtime/technical failure; incomplete e-tendering activity cannot be challenged by appeal, arbitration or court.
Bidders must complete all e-activities well in advance.
One-sided termination / SD forfeiture powers
On contractor default/abandonment, EE may rescind and forfeit SD, complete work departmentally or through another agency at contractor's risk and cost; EE certificates are final and conclusive.
Amounts recoverable as arrears of land revenue (Clause 52 etc.).
Tight construction window including monsoon
12-month completion includes monsoon with no separate monsoon exclusion, increasing weather and sequencing risk for RCC first-floor works.
Bar-chart delay penalty of 1% from each RA bill if programme not submitted within 15 days of performance-security letter.
Payment process friction
Payments only through PWD e-Bill/EMB with full supporting documents; final bill payment window up to six months after submission; contractor bears delay if invoices/tests not uploaded.
GST paid separately on work done, but IT 2% and labour cess 1% hit cash flow on every bill.
Contacts
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
4
Inviting / agreement authority
Executive Engineer, Public Works Division Wardha invites bids and is the officer for physical hard-copy submission, EMD/SD instruments and agreement-side correspondence.
Organisation chain on cover: Government of Maharashtra, Public Works Department — Public Works Region, Nagpur; Public Works Circle, Chandrapur; Public Works Division Wardha.

Confirm from live NIT/portal before attending opening.
Pre-bid venue
Pre-bid meeting venue stated as office of the S.E., P.W. Circle Chandrapur.
