All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Invitation dated 18/07/2026; bidding documents were available from 11:00 hrs on 18/07/2026, while the IREPS NIT records tender upload at 18:10 on the same date.
No pre-bid conference is applicable; the tender specifies no separate clarification deadline because BDS ITB 7.4 is deleted.
Submit by 11:00 hrs on 13/08/2026. The IREPS NIT header displays 11:30 as the closing time, but the specific BDS and IFB distinguish 11:00 submission from 11:30 opening; bidders should not rely on the later header time.
Online technical-bid opening is at 11:30 hrs on 13/08/2026 on IREPS; price bids of technically compliant bidders open later at a date and time advised by RVNL.
120 days after the bid-submission deadline; a shorter-validity bid is non-responsive.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Approximate estimated project cost is Rs.119.59 Crores; the IREPS advertised value is ₹1,195,891,375.67.
₹2 Crore, valid up to 17/10/2026. Permitted routes are IREPS online payment, cashier's/banker's certified cheque or bank draft, e-BG, or Insurance Surety Bond; MSEs meeting Clause 44 may upload valid registration instead. For e-BG/surety, upload the scan with the bid and deliver the matching original within 5 working days after the bid deadline.
Tender document cost is ₹0 and documents download free. Drawings not uploaded may be inspected at RVNL's office; an optional copy costs a non-refundable ₹5,000 by crossed demand draft.
Successful bidder must furnish 5% of Accepted Contract Amount excluding GST within 28 days of award; prescribed security remains valid until 28 days beyond the Performance Certificate. A maximum 28-day extension may be sought at damages of 0.035% of the performance security per day; no payment is made until enforceable security is submitted and the contract is signed.
Quoted prices are adjustable under GCC 13.8; all duties, taxes and levies applicable 28 days before bid deadline must be included in bid rates.
Mobilization advance is up to 5% in two equal installments and plant/machinery advance up to 5%, both at 10.40% simple interest on reducing balances. Retention is deducted at 6% of IPC amounts until it reaches 5% of Contract Price. Advance recovery is 13.5% of each payment for 10% total advance or 20% for 15%, proportionately adjusted for lower advance.
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.
Domestic bidding is restricted to Class-I local suppliers (minimum 50% local content). Bid must be from a single entity: JV and consortium participation are not permitted.
Submit audited balance sheets for the last five financial years; Profit Before Tax must be positive in at least two of those five years.
Minimum average annual construction turnover is INR 159.45 Crore over the last three financial years; average net worth over those three years must be at least INR 23.92 Crore; available bid capacity, (A × N × 1.5 − 0.33 × N × B), must exceed the total estimated price.
Within the seven years before bid deadline, satisfy either: one similar contract of at least INR 71.75 Crore including 12,540 sqm plinth/floor area of an RCC framed building; or two similar contracts each at least INR 41.86 Crore, each including 6,270 sqm RCC framed-building plinth/floor area. Contracts may be completed or substantially completed as defined by employer certification.
Bidder must undertake to provide at least the key personnel and key equipment specified in Section 5 if awarded; adequacy of the technical bid includes mobilization commitment, work methods, scheduling and material sourcing.
For general electrical works, bidder itself or up to three specialist subcontractors per activity must demonstrate execution of INR 1014.99 Lakhs of general electrical works in one year, preferably with Railway/Government, and hold a valid electrical contractor licence. If relying on a specialist, a legally enforceable agreement is required at least one month before the scheduled activity start.
Pass/fail exclusions include conflict of interest; current banning/suspension; RVNL termination with full performance-security forfeiture in the stated three-year window; RVNL delay damages of 5% or more within the stated two-year window; bankruptcy/insolvency; active RVNL poor-performer status; unregistered land-border-country bidder; reciprocal procurement restriction; and failure to disclose Code-of-Integrity transgressions or debarment by another procuring entity. A prescribed affidavit is mandatory; false or stale eligibility information can cause rejection, EMD forfeiture and up to five-year business ban.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Construct 263 staff quarters: Yog Nagari Rishikesh—142 Type-II, 10 Type-III, 1 Type-IV; Srinagar—50 Type-II, 6 Type-III, 1 Type-IV; Karanprayag—50 Type-II, 3 Type-III, 1 Type-IV.
GRP scope totals 3 thanas, 3 police chowkis and 5 observation chowkis across the listed stations; RPF scope totals 3 posts, 3 outposts, 5 barracks and 3 rest houses. Key named facilities include YNRK GRP thana/RPF outpost and barrack, Srinagar GRP thana/RPF post and barrack, and Karanprayag GRP police chowki/RPF post and barrack.
Includes electrification of quarters, GRP/RPF facilities, barracks, circulating areas and other installations; conduits, power cables, lighting towers/poles and underground cables; contractor-prepared electrical drawings and required local-authority NOCs. Also includes water supply, sewerage, drainage, boundary/fencing, ducts, parking, green areas, circulating/approach/interconnecting roads, gates, paths and ramps.
Provide and maintain employer/engineer offices, equipment and vehicles during contract and defect-liability periods; establish survey control and benchmarks; supply as-built drawings. Formation, permanent way, signalling/telecom and traction-OHE items marked 'Deleted' are excluded, but the stated work list is expressly non-exhaustive.
Overall period is 18 months. Commencement is D+42 days; Rishikesh and Srinagar buildings target 15 months after commencement; utilities target 16 months and miscellaneous infrastructure 18 months after commencement. Karanprayag site is stated to be handed over 9 months after LOA, followed by a 9-month construction period—an internal timing inconsistency requiring clarification.
RVNL Standard Specifications and listed codes/manuals govern. IRS prevails over IS; where IRS is silent use IS, then IRC, and BS 5400 Parts 1–10 may be considered for otherwise uncovered items. Alternatives require Engineer's prior written approval and equal or higher quality.
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-packet e-tender through www.ireps.gov.in only: technical bid first, then online price bid for technically compliant bidders. Manual or other-mode offers are rejected.
IREPS registration and a Class-III digital signature in the name of the authorized online submitter are mandatory. The bid must be digitally signed by a duly authorized person; companies need POA from a director authorized by board resolution, and firms need POA by the proprietor.
Only when EMD is an e-BG or Insurance Surety Bond, deliver the matching original in person to the nominated Chief Project Manager at RVNL Rishikesh within 5 working days after bid deadline; mismatch or late/non-delivery causes summary rejection.
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.
IREPS NIT header says closing at 11:30 on 13/08/2026, while IFB and BDS say submission by 11:00 and opening at 11:30. The specific BDS/IFB separation should prevail; submit by 11:00.
Bid validity is 120 days after 13/08/2026, but bid security is stated valid only to 17/10/2026. Both requirements are explicit and incompatible with the usual need for security to cover the offer period; obtain written clarification/extension rather than assuming a date.
Overall completion is 18 months from LOA, but Karanprayag is shown as site handover after 9 months plus 9 months construction, with commencement also D+42 days. The milestone arithmetic can extend beyond 18 months; the contractual milestone and entitlement for delayed access are unclear.
Generic ITB 44 says eligible MSEs receive purchase preference, but project-specific BDS ITB 44 says MSE purchase preference is not applicable. The BDS-specific deletion prevails; only stated fee/security exemptions remain.
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.
Please confirm that the enforceable submission cut-off is 11:00 hrs on 13/08/2026, notwithstanding the IREPS NIT header showing 11:30 hrs as closing time, and correct the portal/header if necessary.
Please issue the required bid-security expiry and any claim period consistent with the 120-day offer validity, because 17/10/2026 expires well before the offer-validity period calculated from 13/08/2026.
Please confirm the binding Karanprayag site-handover date, milestone finish and EOT/cost entitlement if access is later than month 9, and reconcile '9 months handover + 9 months construction' with the 18-month overall period and D+42 commencement.
Please provide the full drawing register and electronic tender drawings before bid submission, confirm precedence against BOQ/specifications, and allow adequate pricing time; Volume III contains no drawings and directs bidders to the Rishikesh office.
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.
Contractor-attributable delay damages are 1/25,000 of Contract Price per day for the entire works; partly attributable delay is 1/500,000 to 1/50,000 per day. Aggregate cap is 5% of Contract Price. The tight 18-month programme and ambiguous Karanprayag access amplify exposure.
5% performance security is tied up until 28 days after Performance Certificate; 6% retention is deducted until 5% of Contract Price; advances carry 10.40% interest. No payment is released before enforceable security and contract signing, and late performance-security submission incurs 0.035% per day damages.
Volume III does not supply drawings online; bidders must inspect them at Rishikesh or buy copies. This creates quantity/interface/pricing risk, especially because the scope list is expressly non-exhaustive and contractor must provide approved electrical drawings and as-builts.
Construction/drinking water may be scarce and all reliable arrangements are contractor's cost. Bidder must verify quarry capacity; contractor remains responsible for construction materials and alternate sources if statutory bans affect supply, though limited EOT/differential-rate relief is described for qualifying bans.
Defects Notification Period is 180 days. Contractor must insure works/plant/materials for 100% of Contract Price and third-party injury/property for ₹2 Crore per occurrence with unlimited occurrences; insurance evidence is due in 14 days and policies in 28 days.
Missing affidavit, LTB, LPB/BOQ summary or compliant EMD causes summary rejection. False qualification/declaration information or withdrawal/failure after award may trigger EMD forfeiture, award annulment and business-banning consequences.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
