EPC design, engineering, procurement and construction of Road Over Bridge (ROB) including roads and allied facilities at Tuna–Tekra for Deendayal Port Authority, Kachchh, Gujarat.
New six-lane ROB corridor with creek bridge, RE walls, viaducts, railway crossing span, approaches, 2-lane service road (~1090 m), diversion road, utilities/HT tower shifting, and project facilities.
Construction to be completed by the 730th day from Appointed Date; Schedule-J prioritises Advance Works (one creek-bridge carriageway, temporary diversion, service road, HT shifting) ahead of Balance Works.
10-year Maintenance Period from Completion Certificate at 3.75% of Contract Price; Defects Liability also 10 years for flexible pavement and stand-alone structures (Creek Bridge, RoB/viaduct/RE Wall).
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.
Two-stage e-tender on https://www.nprocure.com (Technical + Financial); financial bid online only; physical hard-copy envelope of specified originals also mandatory.
Physical documents in sealed envelope marked with bid identification, bidder name/address and Bid Due Date; addressed to Executive Engineer (C-I); BID typed and signed in indelible blue ink by authorised signatory.
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.
Addendum-I replaced digital tender-fee and EMD bank details with IDBI virtual accounts/UPI and added a Google Meet VC link for the 24.06.2026 pre-bid; full RFP/Agreement/Schedules/drawings were also re-hosted (byte-identical to base set in this workspace).
Bid download end, Bid Due Date and Technical Bid opening were extended three times; final values under Addendum-IV are 25.08.2026 up to 16:00 Hrs (download & submission) and 25.08.2026 @ 16:15 Hrs (technical opening).
Final operative snapshot: Bid Due Date / download end 25.08.2026 16:00 Hrs; Technical opening 25.08.2026 16:15 Hrs; pre-bid was 24.06.2026 with VC; tender fee Rs. 5,900 digital to IDBI virtual A/c; EMD Rs. 7,48,47,884 via digital/ISB/BG to updated EMD virtual A/c; all other RFP/Agreement conditions unchanged.
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.
Clause 1.2.4(ii) requires EMD BG valid for 28 days beyond bid validity, while Clause 2.20.2 requires 45 days beyond bid/tender validity.
Operative EMD amount Rs. 7,48,47,884 equals ~2% of Estimated Project Cost and clauses say EMD shall be 2%, but footnote 3 states Bid Security shall be an amount equivalent to 1% of Estimated Project Cost.
Addenda II–IV extend Bid Due Date to 25.08.2026 but leave Clause 1.3 physical submission date 22.07.2026 unaltered, conflicting with Clause 2.11.2 “within 7 days from the bid due date”.
Online checklist cites Annexure-VIII of Appendix-IA for ongoing works; physical checklist cites Annexure-VII; printed form is titled Annexure VII.
RFP contact email is [email protected] while Addendum-I payment instructions use [email protected].
Addendum-III text sets Technical Bid opening on 10.08.2026 @ 16:15 Hrs, but Addendum-IV’s comparison column for Addendum-III shows 11.08.2026 @ 16:15 Hrs.
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 Authority to expressly restate the last date/time for physical originals now that Bid Due Date is 25.08.2026, because 22.07.2026 remains printed and addenda say other details unaltered.
Seek written clarification whether EMD BG must be valid 28 days (1.2.4) or 45 days (2.20.2) beyond the 120-day bid validity.
Request firm ROW hand-over schedule and idle-time/EOT relief for segments stated as only 100% ROW within 60–150 days (railway crossing, later RE wall/junction/merging), versus 15-day parcels.
Clarify responsibility, lead times, block availability and cost risk for ROB railway span, OHE shifting and HT tower relocation flagged as Advance Works.
Confirm how proposed longest span and ROB length are measured for the 30 m / 640 m similar-work tests and what is included in the ₹277.04 Cr specialised structure component.
Although stated amount is Rs. 7,48,47,884 (~2%), footnote 3 still says Bid Security equivalent to 1% — obtain confirmation that Rs. 7,48,47,884 is final.
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 Project Milestones or SCD beyond 30 days attracts Damages at 0.05% of Contract Price per day, capped at 10%; exceeding 10% is Contractor default with termination rights.
EMD ~Rs. 7.48 crore locks significant capital/BG limits through evaluation; Performance Security 5% BG must cover full DLP (10 years) plus 60 days, with another 5% retention cash flow drag.
Mobilisation/equipment advances carry SBI PLR+3% interest and can be recovered by BG encashment if progress <20% of Contract Price within 50% of Scheduled Construction Period.
Contractor bears 10-year maintenance and defects exposure while receiving only 0.25%/year in years 1–5 (0.50% in years 6–10), plus a 7th-year renewal layer obligation.
Bidder must rely on own surveys; Feasibility Report non-binding; contractor responsible for utilities, HT/OHE interfaces, continuous traffic via diversion, and work-zone safety barricading.
Extensive Clause 2.1.14 non-performance triggers and Authority’s residual right to reject an otherwise eligible bidder create bid-invalidation risk beyond bright-line financial/technical tests.
