Invitation for Bids dated 10.08.2026.
Pre-bid meeting: 20.08.2026 at 15:00 hours, online and offline. No separate clarification cut-off is stated in the BDS; bidders may attend or email queries, while ITB 7.1 requires requests before bid submission within a BDS period that is not filled in.
21.09.2026 at 15:00 hours (IST), electronically through https://hptenders.gov.in. This is the latest amended deadline.
21.09.2026 at 16:00 hours (IST), online, at the Project Director’s Shimla office.
120 days starting from the latest bid-submission deadline, i.e. from 21.09.2026; bid security must remain valid 28 days beyond bid validity (and beyond any extension).
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
INR 12.01 million (INR 12,010,000). Acceptable instruments are an unconditional bank guarantee (hard copy or SWIFT MT760), irrevocable letter of credit, or cashier’s/certified check from a reputable eligible-country bank. It must be irrevocable/callable and valid 28 days beyond the 120-day bid validity; an original BG/e-BG is due by the amended bid deadline.
INR 5,000, non-refundable, by demand draft in favour of Project Director, HPTDB-HP, payable at Shimla; absence of document cost and/or bid security is stated to cause summary rejection.
10% of the accepted Contract Price, as an irrevocable and operative unconditional bank guarantee. It may be increased up to 20% for an abnormally low, unbalanced or front-loaded bid, must be extended with the completion date, and ordinarily remains valid until 28 days after the Defects Liability Certificate.
Monthly statements are certified by the Project Manager; certified amounts are payable within 28 days, with interest for late payment. Retention is 5% from each bill capped at 5% of final Contract Price. Prices are adjustable using the Section 4 adjustment table.
10% of accepted Contract Price against an equal-value bank guarantee; recovered at 15% from each payment certificate.
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.
Bidder may be a natural person, private entity, eligible government-owned enterprise, or JV. All JV partners are jointly and severally liable and must nominate an authorized representative. No maximum JV size or minimum equity share is stated; financial qualification nevertheless sets 40% for one partner and 25% for each partner.
Bidder, JV partners, proposed subcontractors and suppliers must be from eligible countries. ADB-suspended/debarred firms, UN-excluded persons/entities, bidders suspended by the Employer under a bid-securing declaration, and bidders with conflicts of interest are ineligible. Government-owned enterprises must be legally/financially autonomous, commercial-law entities and not dependent agencies of the Employer.
No contractor-default nonperformance during the last 5 years. Pending litigation/arbitration and other material events, treated as resolved against the bidder, must total no more than 50% of net worth. EHS-related suspensions, terminations or performance-security calls in the last 5 years must be declared.
Audited financial statements for FY 2020-21 through 2024-25; latest-year net worth must be positive. Minimum average annual construction turnover: INR 933 million over those 5 years. Available financial resources net of current commitments: INR 155.50 million for a sole bidder/JV combined; one JV partner INR 62.20 million and each partner INR 38.90 million.
Within 7 years before bid submission, either one satisfactorily and substantially completed similar contract with participation exceeding INR 995 million, or two such contracts each exceeding INR 622 million. “Substantially completed” means 80% of contract price under the stated conditions. Addendum-1 broadens similar work to housing/resorts/recreation centres/hospitals/educational campuses/health-care spa/wellness facilities/water or sewage treatment systems/rail terminals/warehouses/sports or convention/tourism infrastructure/terminal markets/industrial parks/cold storages/laboratories, with allied E&M systems.
Bidder or proposed specialist subcontractor must show at least one project each for rainwater harvesting, HVAC & electrical works, water theme/adventure park, underground water tank of at least 100,000 litres, and STP of 40 KLD. Specialist experience counts only for these key activities, not toward similar-contract value or bidder financial resources.
Relevant EHS-compliance experience within the last 7 years is mandatory; the bidder must demonstrate commitment to prevent GBV. In-house Environmental Specialist and Health and Safety Specialist are required (one JV member may satisfy). An outline EHS Management Plan commensurate with project risks is responsiveness-critical.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Complete construction, supply, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of the Wellness Centre cum Adventure Sports Centre and Hostel at Nadaun, District Hamirpur, including all labour, materials, plant, temporary works, transport, supervision, QA and testing.
Wellness complex (wellness block, guest rooms/suites, spa/sauna/steam, restaurant and back-of-house), six cottages, meditation hall, administration block, staff-cum-utility block, guard hut, and a complete G+2 hostel with boys’/girls’ accommodation and common facilities.
SITC (design wording removed by Addendum-1) of the complete park: entrance, food court, cabanas, wave pool, lazy river, rain dance, children’s pool, play equipment, listed slides/rides, circulation, filtration, pumping, water treatment, tanks, pipework, controls and accessories.
Water reservoirs/tanks, tube wells, water supply, sewerage/drainage, rainwater harvesting, irrigation, 50 KLD STP, 15 KLD ETP, pump houses; roads, parking, paving, boundary/retaining walls, river protection, drainage, landscaping and signage.
Complete electrical distribution, DG/substation, ELV/CCTV/networking/BMS, HVAC, fire protection, fountains/water features, 181 kWp grid-connected solar PV, EV chargers, composters and three passenger lifts.
Integrated performance tests, inspection/factory/commissioning reports, statutory approvals, O&M manuals, warranties and as-built drawings are due before Taking-Over; operating staff training and defect rectification are included. Specialized works must comply with ADB safeguards, relevant international standards, applicable IS codes and local statutory requirements.
Whole Works: 24 calendar months; start is 7 days after Site Possession, and Site Possession is to occur within 15 days after contract signing. No sectional completion.
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.
Register and submit digitally signed bids at https://hptenders.gov.in. Technical bid uses Envelope A (core originals/scans) and Envelope B (qualification and technical proposal); Letter of Price Bid and revised BOQ go in the price envelope. Mixing technical and price documents causes rejection; click “Freeze Bid”.
Use tender forms without altering text (only bidder name/values), type or write in indelible ink, have the authorized person sign, scan and upload. Files must be readable, virus-free, open-standard and not password locked; BOQ description/quantity and filename must not be changed.
Original BG/e-BG must reach the Project Director’s office by 21.09.2026 at 15:00 hours. The BDS also calls for the Power of Attorney “in original duly attested by Notary” in Envelope A; submit/confirm the original-delivery method with the Employer because the e-proc instructions primarily describe uploading scans.
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.
Broadened “similar work” from a narrow list that required water bodies/pools/amusement rides to a much wider list of building/infrastructure types with allied E&M systems. Impact: more bidders can qualify. Action: prepare EXP-1 against the revised definition even though the printed EXP-1 form retains old wording.
Removed “design (where applicable)” from the Adventure Water Park scope and changed specialized-work responsibilities from Design/Engineering/SITC to principally SITC, while retaining Employer approval, specialized-agency competence, GFC-control/liability and standards obligations. Action: price SITC, proof-checking, coordination, approvals and remedial risk, but seek written clarification on residual design/GFC responsibility.
Existing BOQ replaced by a revised BOQ for the portal financial proposal. Action: use only the revised portal workbook and do not alter its structure/name.
Bid-submission start shifted from 03.09.2026 18:00 to 19:00; submission deadline extended from 10.09.2026 15:00 to 21.09.2026 15:00; technical opening moved from 10.09.2026 16:00 to 21.09.2026 16:00. It also makes original BG/e-BG delivery mandatory by the submission deadline. Action: upload and freeze before 15:00 and deliver the original security by then.
Publication 10.08.2026; pre-bid 20.08.2026 15:00; bid start 03.09.2026 19:00; bid deadline 21.09.2026 15:00; technical opening 21.09.2026 16:00; 120-day validity from deadline; EMD INR 12.01 million; tender fee INR 5,000; 24-month completion. Apply Addendum-1 revised qualification/scope and revised BOQ.
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.
Original BDS says failure to submit original bid security by deadline may be cured during technical evaluation; Corrigendum-I says original BG/e-BG “should be submitted on or before” the deadline. The later corrigendum prevails: do not rely on cure.
BDS lists TECH-3 as subcontract commitment and TECH-4 as JV MOU, but the printed forms label the JV MOU as TECH-3 and contain no matching subcontract-commitment form. Requirement text prevails; bidder should submit both documents with clear descriptive filenames and seek portal clarification.
Original scope and specialized-work clauses assign design/engineering; Addendum-1 removes design from the water-park sentence and from listed specialized SITC scopes, yet retains GFC approval/liability language and the main contract still requires approved design/drawings. Latest addendum prevails for changed clauses, but residual design allocation is ambiguous.
Section 6 presents older Table 1 values (wellness/cottages/utility built-up 5,950 sqm and parking 658 sqm) and a “revised scope” Table 3 (built-up 7,807.95 sqm and parking 1,970 sqm). Table 3 is expressly identified as revised and should govern, subject to revised BOQ/drawings.
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 a responsibility matrix for design, proof-checking, GFC/shop drawings and statutory approvals for river protection, slides, fountains, HVAC, solar and EV charging. Addendum removes “design/engineering” from key scopes but retains GFC and full-liability language, materially affecting PI insurance, consultants, time and price.
Ask Employer to identify whether Table 3 exclusively supersedes Tables 1 and 2 and issue a reconciled area/quantity schedule tied to the revised BOQ and drawings; built-up and parking quantities differ materially.
Request the prescribed specialist-subcontract commitment form and confirmation whether it should be uploaded as TECH-3 or TECH-4; the BDS and printed forms conflict, creating a responsiveness risk.
Obtain written confirmation whether the notarized Power of Attorney and tender-fee DD originals must also be hand-delivered, and the receiving desk/acknowledgment process. Only original BG/e-BG timing is expressly clarified by Corrigendum-I.
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.
LD is 0.05% of final Contract Price per day, capped at 10%; there is no completion bonus. The 24-month period covers a broad, integrated multi-building/water-park package.
Bidders are directed to visit and investigate ground conditions, sources and access; Employer disclaims responsibility for deficiencies in site-investigation reports. Price unknowns for riverbank works, excavation, groundwater and access accordingly sit heavily with the contractor.
Unauthorized work without approved GFC documents can be rejected, modified or dismantled entirely at contractor risk/cost, with no additional payment or time; Employer approval does not relieve safety, quality, integrity or performance liability.
10% performance security (potentially 20% for abnormal bids), 5% retention, advance backed 100% by BG and recovered at 15% per certificate. Payment is contractually due in 28 days, but EHS breach may trigger withholding.
EMP/safeguard costs must be included with no separate payment unless BOQ expressly provides. Detailed SSEHSMP is due within 28 days of LOA and work cannot commence until no-objection, creating mobilization and approval risk.
Late updated programs attract INR 20,000/day. Missing as-builts/O&M manuals may withhold 1% of final price or stop interim/final certificate processing.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
