Tender documents were issued/uploaded on 13 May 2026.
No usable pre-bid or clarification deadline is specified: the forwarding letter leaves both date fields blank.
04 Aug 2026 (latest amended date). The corrigenda do not print a time.
11 Aug 2026 (latest amended date). The corrigenda do not print a time.
60 (Sixty) days from the date on which tenders are due to be submitted.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs 1331.29 Lakh (At Par Market). The estimate is stated to be a rough guide, not a guarantee.
Rs 3000/- by DD/Banker's cheque from any scheduled bank, in favour of GE (AF) Marathahalli and payable at Bangalore.
Rs. 9,91,000/- in favour of GE (AF) Marathahalli. Appendix A requires a Deposit at Call Receipt and says FDR is not acceptable; the tender instructions also mention a receipted Treasury Challan, creating a form conflict that should be clarified. No EMD validity period is stated.
5% of the contract sum, due within 28 days of receipt of the Letter of Acceptance, in the form of prescribed bank guarantee, insurance surety bond, Government securities, FDR, or another Government instrument stipulated by the Accepting Officer.
RAR claims for work done may be submitted at intervals of not less than 15 days. Separate final bills apply after Phases I-III and subsequent phases. Eligible non-perishable manufactured items may receive full-value advance against a scheduled-bank guarantee for the retention amount.
Tendered rates include taxes directly related to contract value at rates prevailing on the last due date; later increases/new such taxes are reimbursable and decreases/abolitions refundable or deductible, subject to proof. Draft star-rate work receives 80% part payment during execution until the final rate is approved.
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 with MES in Class 'S', category (a)(i), with satisfactory performance remarks for works in hand in the WLR or other report of the competent engineer authority.
Must meet Class 'S', category (a)(i) enlistment criteria: in the last five years, either two completed works of at least Rs 7.50 crore each or one completed work of at least Rs 12 crore, and average annual turnover of at least Rs 12 crore for two consecutive years.
Must be solvent up to Rs 4.00 crore or financially sound for engagement up to Rs 15.00 crore, and have working capital of at least Rs 50.00 lakh.
An unenlisted bidder must have no adverse WLR/similar report and must not be suspended, debarred or blacklisted—permanently or temporarily—by the listed Central/State Government, PSU, autonomous or local bodies as on bid submission end date.
Foreign firms are ineligible. Indian firms with foreign-national directors, Indian directors staying abroad, or directors who acquired foreign citizenship are considered only subject to security clearance.
Lower-class MES contractors are considered only under the NIT's competition-trigger and upgradation conditions; where applicable their residual work in hand cannot exceed five times their present tendering limit unless they fully meet upgradation criteria. An unenlisted contractor that has secured two MES works must enlist before further participation.
Only one bid per contractor/firm is allowed; related firms with a common proprietor/partner/director and close relations having business dealings cannot compete separately. Subletting or execution through a third-party POA holder is prohibited except the named family members or the firm's own personnel, subject to the stated conditions.
Unenlisted bidders must submit GST, EPFO and ESIC registrations. A valid electrical licence or MoU with a suitably licensed agency is required for execution of covered electrical work, but the tender expressly says it is not required in Cover 1 for bidding qualification.
No JV/consortium qualification, member cap, lead-member, equity or credential-aggregation rules are stated. The Integrity Pact recognizes a Joint Venture only for pact-signing; bidders should obtain a ruling before relying on a JV structure.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design and construction of one OMQ married-accommodation block for officers at ASTE Bangalore: 16 quarters for Sqn Ldr and above, with stilt parking and eight residential floors.
Includes site clearance/development, internal and external water supply, internal and external electrical works and DG sets, roads, drainage, sewage disposal, grease traps, hot-water supply, lifts, lightning protection, firefighting, demolition, building works, fittings/fixtures, lift operation and comprehensive lift maintenance.
Five sequential phases totaling 2492 days: Phase I final design/vetted drawings—60 days from commencement; Phase II benchmarks/levels—60 days after Phase I; Phase III design and construction—547 days after Phase II; Phase IV lift operation during DLP—730 days after Phase III; Phase V comprehensive lift maintenance/operation—1095 days after Phase IV.
Design-and-build scope includes complete structural design from foundation to roof, calculations, stability certificate, BOQs and final vetting by IIT/NIT/IISc Bangalore. Civil design life is 100 years and above; construction includes RCC M-30, AAC walls, earthquake resistance, applicable latest IS and GRIHA green-building norms.
Phases I-III carry a 24-month defects-liability period after certified Phase III completion; Phases IV-V carry one month after each relevant phase. MES will not provide construction water or a labour-camp site; electricity is limited to 10 kW and chargeable.
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.
Single-stage, two-cover e-tender on www.defproc.gov.in: Cover 1 is the technical/eligibility packet in PDF; Cover 2 is the priced BOQ in the prescribed XLS file. Email, fax, hand and post bids are not accepted.
The online bid must be digitally signed with a valid DSC by an authorized person. After acceptance, the lowest bidder signs/dates/witnesses all prescribed places, initials corrections and every page, and signs all drawings.
Original tender-fee DD/Banker's cheque and original EMD instrument, where applicable, must reach the Accepting Officer within 07 (Seven) days of the bid submission end date. Failure can block Cover 2 and trigger a six-month bidding restriction; para 3.8 also asks for hard copies of signatory-authority documents before the separately fixed date/time, which is not printed.
Unenlisted-bid documents must be signed by the proprietor/all partners/all directors unless a partner/director is specifically authorized by POA or board resolution; photocopies are self-attested; every affidavit is on appropriate-value non-judicial stamp paper and attested by a Magistrate/Notary Public.
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.
Corrigenda 1-5 changed only bid submission start/end and bid opening. The chain was: start 11 Jun → 25 Jun → 06 Jul → 15 Jul → 23 Jul → 28 Jul 2026; submission end 18 Jun → 02 Jul → 13 Jul → 22 Jul → 30 Jul → 04 Aug 2026; opening 25 Jun → 09 Jul → 20 Jul → 29 Jul → 06 Aug → 11 Aug 2026. Bidder action: use the final dates and ensure portal/physical-original planning follows them.
Bid submission starts 28 Jul 2026, ends 04 Aug 2026, and bids open 11 Aug 2026. All five corrigenda say all other entries remain unchanged; there are no substantive amendments or pre-bid replies in the corrigenda.
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 title, BOQ and architectural drawing specify officers/OMQs (16 quarters for Sqn Ldr and above), but Schedule A's Phase III row says married accommodation for Airmen JCO/WO. The repeated title plus detailed BOQ/drawing support officer accommodation; obtain written confirmation because the Phase III text is directly inconsistent.
Schedule A's list assigns lift operation to Part XVII and comprehensive lift maintenance/operation to Part XVIII, but the phase table assigns Phase IV to Part XVI and Phase V to Part XVII. The BOQ/Part list is the specific work breakdown, but the authority must correct the phase mapping because it affects security, completion and billing.
Instructions para 2.3 describes initial performance security for Phases I-II followed by Phase III security, while Schedule A para 2.4.1 requires initial security for the amount of Phases I-III. The later, project-specific Schedule A provision should prevail, but bidders need the authority to confirm the amount and release sequence.
Appendix A says the Rs 9,91,000 EMD is a Deposit at Call Receipt and that FDR is not acceptable. Instructions para 1 additionally permits a receipted Treasury Challan and potentially another pre-confirmed MES form, while rejecting cheque/BG. The tender-specific Appendix A is safer to follow unless the Accepting Officer confirms Treasury Challan acceptance.
Appendix A specifically gives original fee/EMD instruments 7 days after bid submission end, whereas instructions para 3.8 broadly asks for hard copies of the preceding authority documents before an unspecified fixed date/time. Apply the explicit 7-day deadline to fee/EMD and seek confirmation whether POA/authority hard copies are also required and by what date.
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.
Confirm that the work is one 16-quarter OMQ block for Sqn Ldr and above, and issue a correction deleting the Phase III reference to Airmen JCO/WO.
Issue a definitive table mapping Parts XVI-XVIII to Phases IV-V, phase values, work orders, performance-security amounts/validity, completion certificates and billing milestones; also confirm whether initial 5% security covers Phases I-III or only I-II.
Confirm whether a receipted Treasury Challan is acceptable despite Appendix A naming only a Deposit at Call Receipt, and state exactly which hard-copy originals (including POA/authority records) must be delivered, to which desk, and by what date/time.
Confirm whether JV/consortium bids are permitted. If yes, issue member-count, lead-member, joint-and-several liability, minimum participation and credential/turnover aggregation rules; the tender currently provides only Integrity Pact signing instructions for JVs.
Confirm the budget/payment timeline for the 730-day operation phase and 1095-day comprehensive AMC/operation phase, because the BOQ permits monthly payment depending on fund availability; state interest/relief for delayed funding and the precise start of AMC versus DLP.
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.
Structural/design submissions follow a compressed post-work-order sequence. Failure to submit para 5.12 documents within the stated 20 days attracts Rs 5000/day; failure to submit design/drawings within 60 days (or extended date) permits cancellation and forfeiture of performance security.
The full sequence is 2492 days, including two years of lift operation and three years of comprehensive lift maintenance/operation after the main works. Phases I-III also carry 24 months' DLP, and anti-termite treatment carries a separate 10-year responsibility.
The department may hand over the site gradually with no claim or dispute allowed. Restricted-area entry/search controls reduce usable working hours, which cannot be increased by the GE; price and programme must absorb this productivity risk.
No MES water or labour-camp land is provided. MES electricity is capped at 10 kW, costs Rs 22.92/unit, and continuity is not guaranteed; no compensation is payable for intermittent supply or breakdown.
The contractor bears full design/detail integration risk: later missing details, superior specifications arising from non-availability/exigency, and complete structural design are to be executed without extra cost. Layout may vary within the site-plan area without price adjustment, and unquoted BOQ items are deemed zero/free.
Government may set off compensation or other sums under this or any other Government contract against performance security or any money due, requiring replenishment within ten days. Cancellation under GCC Conditions 52-54 forfeits the performance security in full.
Lift breakdown response beyond two hours attracts Rs 1000/hour; each missed routine maintenance visit attracts Rs 500. Monthly lift-service payment is expressly subject to fund availability, and penalties are deductible from RAR/final bills.
Work cannot progress without the stipulated graduate and diploma engineers. Inadequate engineers/T&P/machinery/transport is treated as a serious breach exposing the firm to cancellation, ban, removal, downgrading or debarment.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
