24/09/2026 at 12:30 P.M. IST (07:00 UTC), at the Chief Engineer (Communication), Road Construction Department, Ranchi.
At least 120 days after the bid-submission deadline; a shorter validity is non-responsive.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs. 2,73,19,121.00.
Rs. 10,000.00, non-refundable, payable online through jharkhandtenders.gov.in.
Rs. 2,74,000.00, payable electronically with bid submission. The superseding SOP permits internet banking or NEFT/RTGS through designated/aggregator banks; no separate validity or claim period is stated for the online cash payment.
Within 21 days after receipt of the Letter of Acceptance, provide 2% of the Contract Price plus any additional security required for an unbalanced bid. Acceptable stated forms are an unconditional bank guarantee from an SBI/nationalised/scheduled-bank branch in Jharkhand or certified cheque/bank draft; the performance guarantee remains valid until 28 days after expiry of the Defects Liability Period.
Monthly statements are checked/certified within 14 days; certified amounts are payable within 28 days, with 12% p.a. interest for late payment. Retention is 9% from each bill, capped at 8% of final Contract Price; half is released at completion and half after the Defects Liability Period and defect correction.
Mobilisation advance: 10% of Contract Price, against unconditional bank guarantee, drawable before 20% of the contract period; it may be secured by four guarantees of 2.5% each. Equipment advance: 90% of new or 50% of depreciated old equipment value, capped at 5% of Contract Price, after equipment reaches site and against guarantee. Both carry 10% interest compounded quarterly; repayment starts after payments reach 20% of Contract Price or six months after the first advance, whichever is earlier, through 20% deductions from interim certificates, and must finish before original completion.
Bid civil-work rates are to be quoted exclusive of GST and labour cess; the BOQ separately directs 18% GST and 1% labour cess entries. Statutory deductions/taxes apply. For this sub-12-month work, admissible bitumen price difference follows Department Notification 405(S) dated 31.01.2004 and Letter 4469(S) dated 26.07.2011.
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.
RCD-registered contractors in the appropriate class may bid; unregistered contractors may also bid but, if awarded, must register with RCD Jharkhand within two months of award. UCAN registration in the appropriate class is mandatory for bidders already registered with RCD.
In any one of FY 2021-22 through FY 2025-26, minimum annual turnover from civil-engineering construction works is Rs. 409.79 Lakh.
During the same last five years, satisfactorily complete at least one similar work, at least 90% completed by contract value, valued at not less than Rs. 136.60 Lakh, as prime contractor or qualifying nominated subcontractor that executed all main items.
In any one of the last five years: earthwork 10,611.11 cum; PCC+RCC 380.04 cum; elastomeric bearing 138,240.00 ccm; and stone masonry 41.24 cum.
Demonstrate liquid assets and/or available credit facilities of Rs. 27.32 Lakh, supported by banker certification not more than three months old, and undertake capacity to invest cash up to 25% of Contract value during implementation. No separate net-worth threshold is stated.
Available bid capacity must exceed the total/evaluated bid value, calculated as A×N×2−B, where N reflects the 10-month completion period and B covers commitments due in the next 10 months.
Demonstrate owned/leased/to-be-procured plant matching Annexure I: 2 motor graders, 1 dozer, 1 front-end loader, 2 smooth-wheeled rollers, 1 vibratory roller, 1 hot-mix plant (80-100 TPH minimum), 1 electronic-sensor paver, 2 water tankers, 1 bitumen sprayer, 1 tandem roller, and 1 concrete mixer with integral weigh batching; listed age caps are generally five years, with bitumen sprayer 5-7 years.
Provide the six Annexure II personnel: Project Manager (BE Civil +15 years, including 5 as manager); Site Engineer (BE Civil +10 years, including 5 in road construction); Plant Engineer (BE Mechanical +10 years or diploma +15); Quantity Surveyor (BE Civil +7 or diploma +10); Soil & Material Engineer (BE Civil +10); Survey Engineer (BE Civil +5 or diploma +8).
Joint-venture bids are not acceptable for this package. The generic JV provisions that follow are marked deleted and the SBD note says the non-JV rule is deleted only for projects costing Rs. 20 Crores or more; this project is below that threshold.
The bidder must be independent of the project-design/supervision consultant, submit only one bid, and may be disqualified for false/misleading qualification evidence, poor performance (abandonment, non-completion, inordinate delay, litigation or financial failure), or unjustifiably high prior pricing for the same work. Corrupt/fraudulent conduct or false work/financial papers can cause rejection, ineligibility, suspension or blacklisting.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Item-rate construction of a high-level bridge with approach road over a local nala at km 6 of Baliapur-Patlabari Road, Dhanbad, under Plan Head 2025-26 (third call).
Includes site clearance and setting out; foundations, piers/abutments, bearings, RCC/prestressed superstructure, wearing coat, crash barriers/railings, expansion joints, approach slabs, drainage, wing/return walls and protection works; approach-road earthwork, subgrade, GSB/WMM, bituminous pavement, road furniture/markings, cross-drainage works, quality assurance, site clearance, defect rectification and as-built drawings.
The 50 civil-work items include 173.30 cum RCC M30 foundations; 250.66 cum RCC M30 substructure; 177.70 cum RCC M35 superstructure; 276,480 ccm elastomeric bearings; 38.70 m strip-seal expansion joint; 7,390.95 cum road excavation; 4,271.014 cum borrow embankment; 5,044.35 cum cutting-material embankment; 3,568.72 cum subgrade/shoulders; 936.97 cum GSB; 819.58 cum WMM; 191.73 cum dense bituminous macadam; 95.87 cum bituminous concrete; and 80 m of 1,200-mm NP4/prestressed concrete pipe.
Complete within 10 months from the start of work, with 50% physical progress by month 5 and the remaining 50% by month 10. Submit the programme within 21 days of the Letter of Acceptance and as-built drawings in two sets within 28 days after the completion certificate.
Technical requirements are the BOQ item descriptions and MoRTH Specifications for Road and Bridge Works, 5th Revision; completed work is measured under the Ministry road/bridge specification and paid on actual verified quantities at tendered rates.
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 jharkhandtenders.gov.in: qualification/supporting material in the technical-bid folder; Form of Bid and digitally signed BOQ in the financial-bid folder. No physical bid proposal is accepted.
A valid DSC under the Information Technology Act, 2000 is mandatory; every upload must be digitally signed by the bidder.
Only the successful bidder must produce originals for verification before agreement signing, when called by registered post, speed post or hand-delivered letter. The superseding online-payment SOP removes the older requirement to submit original fee/EMD demand drafts during bidding.
Online bids must be digitally signed. Do not upload the SBD. Do not modify or replace the BOQ template; enter only bidder name and permitted values/rates, otherwise rejection may follow.
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.
Older SBD clauses allow instruments and demand original DDs, but the tender-specific NIT expressly supersedes those clauses with mandatory online payment under the 2023 SOP. The final requirement is online remittance; no physical DD is due with the bid.
The generic BOQ preamble/GCC says quoted rates include taxes, but the tender-specific NIT requires civil-work rates exclusive of GST and labour cess, and the electronic BOQ provides separate 18% GST and 1% labour-cess lines. Follow the NIT and BOQ-specific entries.
Generic GCC 47 is visibly marked DELETED, while tender-specific Contract Data states bitumen adjustment for works below 12 months and the NIT repeats the governing departmental instruments. The specific bitumen-difference provision prevails; no broader cement/steel/labour escalation should be assumed.
ITB 4.4 prints both 'JVs not acceptable' and a generic alternative allowing prequalified JVs, followed by deleted JV mechanics. The footnotes resolve this package: at Rs. 2.73 crore (below Rs. 20 crore), the non-JV sentence remains and the prequalified-JV alternative is deleted because the project is below 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.
Request the approved GAD/structural drawings, sanctioned estimate, geotechnical/site-investigation report, design foundation levels and seasonal nala/HFL data. None is supplied in this folder, although the BOQ includes ordinary/weathered/hard-rock excavation and confirmatory boring, which materially affects foundation pricing and method.
Confirm whether the Rs. 136.60 lakh experience must be a high-level bridge/bridge with approaches, and identify minimum span/foundation/superstructure characteristics. The pass/fail threshold is stated but 'similar' is not tender-specifically defined.
State the site-possession date, encumbrance/utility status, and exact contractual start date. Contract Data leaves site possession blank and the printed start-date sentence is incomplete, while the 10-month programme runs from start.
Obtain a portal/department confirmation that tender fee and EMD are only remitted online and no scanned or physical DD/BG is required, because the older online-bidding addendum still asks for scanned and original instruments although the NIT says the 2023 SOP supersedes it.
Confirm whether BOQ basic rates must exclude both GST and labour cess and whether bidders must enter exactly 0.18 and 0.01 in BOQ items 51-52, because generic contract text says rates include taxes.
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.
The 10-month programme requires 50% by month 5 and completion by month 10. Delay LD is 1/2000 of Initial Contract Price per day, rounded to the nearest thousand, capped at 10%; reaching the cap is a fundamental breach permitting termination.
Cash retention is heavy at 9% per bill, capped at 8% of final Contract Price; half remains until the Defects Liability Period expires and defects are corrected. DLP is three years where bituminous thickness is at least 40 mm, otherwise 365 days, and extends while defects remain outstanding.
No usable site-investigation data or drawings are supplied, yet the BOQ prices ordinary soil, weathered rock, hard rock and confirmatory boring. Quantities are provisional and payment is on actual measured quantities; rate adjustment generally triggers only where quantity deviation exceeds 25% and the change exceeds 1% of Initial Contract Price.
For this below-12-month contract the specific relief stated is bitumen price difference only. Generic broad material/labour adjustment text is marked deleted, so bidders carry cement, steel, labour and other input inflation unless the department confirms otherwise.
Mobilisation/equipment advances are fully bank-guaranteed and attract 10% quarterly-compounded interest. Performance security is 2% plus potentially uncapped additional security for an unbalanced bid; serious low/unbalanced pricing can also cause rejection or increased security.
The Employer may terminate for convenience. On contractor fundamental breach, payment is reduced by advances, recoveries, taxes and 20% of the value of uncompleted work; site materials, plant, equipment, temporary works and works are deemed Employer property on contractor default.
Late programme updates permit withholding Rs. 0.41 lakh. Failure to provide two sets of as-built drawings within 28 days after completion certification permits withholding Rs. 0.82 lakh.
