Online bid submission starts on 17/07/2026.
No pre-bid conference is required; pre-bid conference date/time is Not Applicable.
E-tender closing date/time is 31/07/2026 at 15:00 hrs; original/revised bids can be submitted only up to that time.
Two Packet System applies; a separate bid-opening date/time is not printed in the NIT beyond the closing date/time of 31/07/2026 15:00.
Offer validity is 90 days from the date of closing of the tender (Two Packet System).
Period of completion is 12 Months from the date of issue of Letter of Acceptance.
Maintenance period is 48 months for subways and 36 months for FOBs.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Advertised value is Rs. 29,47,77,325.25.
Earnest Money / Bid Security is Rs. 58,95,600.00.
Tender document cost is Rs. 0.00; e-Tender Forms are issued free of cost.
Successful bidder must submit Performance Guarantee of 5% of original contract value within 21 days of LOA (extendable to 60 days with 12% p.a. penal interest after day 21).
Security Deposit is 5% of contract value, recovered at 6% of bill amount until full SD is built up (Bid Security counts toward SD).
Quoted rates are inclusive of all taxes, duties, charges and royalties; GST TDS @ 2% (or as amended) and Income Tax @ 2% (plus surcharge if any) are deducted from bills.
PVC applies as per IRSGCC-2022 and ACS; after ACS-1, PVC applies to tenders with advertised value above Rs. 2 crore (this tender qualifies).
Interest-bearing mobilisation advance (up to 10% of contract value) is applicable only for advertised tender value more than Rs. 50 crore — not available for this ~Rs. 29.48 crore tender.
Running payments are through on-account bills; for advertised value Rs. 10 lakh or above the contractor may opt at bid stage for payment through a sight Letter of Credit.
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.
Minimum average annual contractual turnover of V/N or V, whichever is less; with V = advertised value in crores and N = completion years, required turnover is essentially the full advertised value (~Rs. 29.48 crore).
Because advertised value exceeds Rs. 20 crore (and ACS-11 threshold of Rs. 10 crore), available bid capacity must be ≥ total bid value.
Tender is evaluated as composite with Component-1 FOB Rs.18,49,24,917 and Component-2 Subway Rs.10,98,52,407; each component > Rs.2 crore needs similar-work credentials under GCC 10.1(b).
JV is allowed with maximum 3 members; consortium is not allowed.
Bidder and constituents must not be blacklisted/debarred by Railways or any other Ministry/Department of Govt. of India on bid submission/opening date; land-border country bidders need competent-authority registration.
Minimum local content is ordinarily 50%; for this >Rs.10 crore procurement, Proforma-10 CA/statutory auditor local-content certificate is mandatory — non-compliance causes summary rejection.
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 3 FOBs at halt stations Kudalasangama, Angadageri and Somanakatti, and subways at Honaganahalli, Padnur and Sulerjavalagi, on Gadag–Hotgi (GDG-HG) section, South Western Railway.
Work packages cover DSR civil items, earthwork, cement supply, concrete and bridge items (including boring/soil tests, excavation, RCC/PSC box works), superstructural steel (plate/composite girders, fabrication/erection, crane hire, painting), track items (ballast, packing, P.Way gang), non-schedule design/survey/concrete-canvas/MUV items, and track transportation.
Overall completion period is 12 months from LOA; Engineer-in-charge fixes milestones and monitors progress against the programme of work.
Works are governed by IRSGCC-2022 with ACS 1–11, SCC 11/2025, SWR USSOR/DSR, and attached TS for cement, steel, track, transportation, ballast, plus ASC for box pushing, FEB/BRS steel fabrication, and vehicle supply.
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.
Bids are only electronic via www.ireps.gov.in (Works Module); manual offers are ignored.
Offer must be digitally signed by the tenderer or duly authorised attorney; only one offer per individual/proprietor/firm/company/JV/HUF/society is allowed.
If Bid Security is a Bank Guarantee, the original BG must be delivered in person to the nominated official before the bid closing date excluding the last submission day; scanned BG must also be on IREPS.
Constitution documents, POAs and JV MOU require notarisation/registration/stamping as specified; supporting qualification documents must be self-attested/digitally signed.
Offer is summarily rejected if constitution docs / Annexure-V(A) (as applicable), mandatory local-content Proforma-10, or other listed mandatory uploads are missing, or if bidder adds violating own conditions.
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 pack contains no corrigendum or addendum amending HIGA-102 dates, values or conditions; NIT values as uploaded on 08/07/2026 apply.
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.
Special Conditions say the tender is not a composite tender unless specifically mentioned, yet eligibility defines two valued components and applies composite technical eligibility under GCC 10.1(b).
NIT text still cites bid capacity for tenders more than Rs.20 crore, while ACS-11 amended Annexure-VI to more than Rs.10 crore; for this ~Rs.29.48 crore tender both formulations require bid capacity.
NIT Commercial-Compliance allows Proforma-8 mobilisation advance request, but SCC limits mobilisation advance to advertised value more than Rs.50 crore.
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 Railway to confirm whether technical eligibility will be evaluated strictly as a two-component composite tender despite Special Conditions stating the tender is not composite.
Request the name, designation and full address of the official nominated to receive the original Bid Security Bank Guarantee, because ACS-5 requires delivery before the last bid day and NIT does not name the receiver.
Confirm that PVC applies under ACS-1 (value > Rs.2 crore) notwithstanding original GCC wording that required completion period above 12 months.
Seek clarity on expected traffic blocks, cable/utility diversion responsibility and working-hour constraints at the six station/halt sites within the 12-month programme.
Clarify whether the multi-utility vehicle NS item (and any similar notes) remains part of this contract scope or will be stripped/executed separately.
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.
Six locations (3 FOBs + 3 subways) must be completed in 12 months, including design, fabrication, box/subway works and track reinstatement — high schedule concentration risk.
Under ACS-1, LD for contractor-caused delay is 0.05% to 0.30% of contract value per week (Engineer’s decision), capped at 5% of contract value.
Maintenance period is 36 months for FOBs and 48 months for subways — Security Deposit remains tied until Maintenance Certificate and SCC defect/completion-drawing certificates.
Works beside running track with mandatory cable detection/protection; fixed penalties of Rs.1.0–1.5 lakh per location for cable damage, plus accident-drafting of contractor plant.
Individual item quantities may vary +25% at accepted rates; beyond that Railway can force execution at 98% (125–140%) and 96% (above 140%/150%) of awarded rates; foundation work has no variation limit.
Missing Proforma-10 is summary rejection; post-award local-content shortfall can draw up to 10% contract-value penalty; false credentials trigger forfeiture of Bid Security/SD/PG and up to 5-year IR-wide ban.
For work cost > Rs.5 crore, contractor must deploy at least one Graduate Engineer and one Diploma Engineer (plus scale as directed); failure attracts LD at tender-prescribed rates under GCC 26A.
Railway may reject any/all offers without assigning reasons; decision on certificate suitability is final; contractor deemed to have visited site and cannot later claim for site conditions.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Chief Administrative Officer, Construction, South Western Railway, acting for and on behalf of the President of India.
NIT signed by Yagani Yogananda Babu, Dy.CE/CN/WORKS/BNC.
PG Bank Guarantee checklist names beneficiary as Financial Advisor and Chief Accounts Officer, Construction, South Western Railway, Bengaluru.
Documents require original Bid Security BG delivery to the 'official nominated as indicated in the tender document', but this NIT pack does not name that official, office address, phone or email.
