BOQ states Estimated amount of Rs 2,33,79,340 (inclusive of GST) against the RFP dated 09.02.2026; under QBS this is the Authority fixed cost against which PBG % is quoted.
Non-refundable RFP document fee Rs 5,000/- payable at bid submission via RTGS/NEFT/other online mode in favour of MoRTH; AITC requires proof of payment with the proposal.
TIS leaves Bid Security (EMD) Amount as [Fill] but permits Bid Securing Declaration in lieu of Bid Security; BSD (Form T-17) triggers 2-year suspension for breach.

DPR consultancy for widening to two-lane with paved shoulder on NH-169A from Km 30.75 to Km 51.60 (Agumbe Ghat), Karnataka — feasibility, detailed project report, survey and land plan.
Feasibility Study first; DPR stage starts only after separate Notice to Proceed based on feasibility outcome. Authority may foreclose after feasibility.
Full highway DPR suite: reconnaissance, traffic 30-year forecast, inventories, LiDAR topo, pavement/subgrade, materials, road/bridge design, ESA/SIA, public consultation, bid documents and bid-process support.
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.
Online-only two-cover bid on CPPP https://eprocure.gov.in; INFRACON Team ID mandatory; English language.
All uploaded statements/documents/certificates must be digitally signed (IT Act 2000); JV digitally signed by authorised representative with written PoA from each member. EMD originals (if any) physically in double cover before deadline; other originals may be called before LOA.
AITC requires Integrity Pact signed and submitted with Proposal by both JV members; RFPL states proposals without signed Integrity Pact shall be rejected if indicated in TIS.
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.
Six successive date addenda extended bid submission from 26.03.2026 03:00 PM to 09.09.2026 03:00 PM and technical opening from 27.03.2026 to 10.09.2026 03:00 PM; no other substantive RFP text changes in the uploaded corrigenda.
Final operative dates: bid submission 09.09.2026 03:00 PM; technical opening 10.09.2026 03:00 PM. All other commercial/eligibility/scope terms remain as in the original RFP/BOQ/NIT (no corrigendum amendments found).
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.
TIS states 180 days from Bid Due Date and also from Bid opening date; BOQ says 180 days from BID Due Date; ITC default text is 120 days from submission deadline if TIS silent — TIS 180-day figure prevails, but Due Date vs Opening start-point is inconsistent.
Original TIS opening time 04:00 PM vs all addenda/final opening at 03:00 PM — final Addendum-VII 03:00 PM prevails.
TIS/BOQ use 09.02.2026; NIT digital signature and addenda recitals use 10.02.2026.
TIS Period of Contract is 180 days, but SCC GCC 12.3.1 still reads 'The time period shall be months' (blank), and TOR duration placeholders remain '<to be kept as per costing guidelines>'.
GCC 10.5.1(5) pays invoices within 60 days of receipt; note (d) under the payment schedule says Client shall cause payment within thirty (30) days after receipt of bills.
SCC states no advance payment shall be made, while GCC still contains full advance-payment/BG clauses — SCC prevails (no advance).
TIS Bid Security Amount is '[Fill]' while simultaneously permitting Bid Securing Declaration — amount of any cash EMD is not stated in RFP body.
TIS header marks Selection Method as QBS and BOQ is a PBG-percentage form, consistent with fixed-cost QBS; parallel QCBS 10% PBG language remains in the same TIS block for ≤100 Cr cases.
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 confirm QBS applies, the binding fixed consultancy cost (Rs 2,33,79,340 incl. GST), and that only PBG% is to be bid — given unfilled Tentative Project Cost bands and dual QCBS/QBS text.
Seek written confirmation that Form T-17 BSD alone satisfies bid security because TIS EMD amount is unfilled.
TOR/Section VI-A still contain '<to be kept as per costing guidelines>' blanks for overall duration and key-personnel man-months while TIS says 180 days — request filled manning schedule and whether 180 days covers both feasibility and full LA/DPR stages through Condition Precedent.
Confirm exact indicative length and that Hilly/Mountainous criteria (including two Rs 50-lakh landslide/slope projects) apply rather than plain 'Normal Highway' table.
Request IEM particulars (left blank in AITC) and clarification whether bills are paid in 30 or 60 days.
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 of 1/2% of the related monthly bill per week of inexcusable delay, capped at 10% of entire contract value, plus Denial Clause freezing post-original-date tax/price increases; ≥25% period delay treated as inordinate/poor performance.
Large share of fee and PBG release is tied to LA notifications, possession, clearances, administrative approval and even start of civil work — outside pure design control; Authority may foreclose after feasibility.
Under QBS, 40% weight is on higher PBG quote (min 5%) — winning may require over-collateralising; JV must lodge separate proportional PBGs or face breach.
No replacement of Team Leader allowed (SCC); replacement during validity limited and scored on original CV; fake CV risk includes 2-year debarment.
Agumbe Ghat hilly scope (landslides, possible tunnels, forest/wildlife) plus residual bid capacity must exceed package length — capacity-blocked firms are ineligible regardless of experience.
Procuring Entity may reject any/all proposals or cancel process without liability; portal rules prevail over RFP on portal conflicts; IP and confidentiality survive.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
