Financial proposal amount is inclusive of all taxes but exclusive of Service tax/GST, which is paid/reimbursed by the Client separately; quote in INR.
Milestone payments under Appendix E total 90% across five deliverables from T0+2 to T0+19 weeks; delayed client payments attract 5% p.a. interest.

QCBS consultancy for Feasibility and Detailed Project Report of Town Planning Scheme & Peripheral Ring Road for Kalaburagi Local Planning Area for Kalburagi Urban Development Authority (KUDA).
Proposed Peripheral Ring Road is approximately 45 km long with 60 m Right-of-Way; ~2700 ha land within the 60 m RoW corridor plus additional land for junctions, services and clusters.
Integrated feasibility, TP scheme preparation, thematic cluster planning, surveys/investigations, engineering design and DPR, with staged reports through final approval.
ToR states 26-week engagement; Data Sheet/SCC price Phase 1 as 16 weeks with optional further 16-week extension on same terms; payment schedule runs to T0+19 weeks.
Structural/design work to comply with relevant IRC codes and IS Codes for lab tests; Client provides coordination assistance for existing data/records/reports; consultant obtains statutory permissions.
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.
Only electronic submission via Karnataka Public Procurement Portal (KPPP) https://kppp.karnataka.gov.in; any other mode is summarily rejected.
Three-part proposal (Pre-Qualification, Technical, Financial) in English; Technical Proposal must not contain financial bid information.
Eligibility and experience documents are to be self-certified; CVs require signature of staff member and authorized representative; NDA projects certified by MD/Authorized Signatory on letterhead.
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 downloaded tender documents contain only the base RFP Word file; no corrigendum, addendum or pre-bid reply document is present, so all dates and conditions above are as originally published.
Final applicable schedule remains: upload 27.08.2026; pre-bid 07.09.2026 11:30; bid due 15.09.2026 17:00; PQ open 18.09.2026 11:30; technical open 25.09.2026 11:30; financial open 30.09.2026 11:30; validity 180 days.
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.
Data Sheet/SCC set Phase 1 / contract at 16 weeks; payment milestones run to T0+19 weeks; ToR states a 26-week engagement. No corrigendum resolves this.
Financial Form 4B is lump-sum; SCC 6.1 and Performance Security 11.1 price the fee as a % of project cost. Project cost itself is not given.
ITC requires Financial Proposal on Section 4 standard forms; Forms 4A/4B say they are samples for contract signing only and should not be uploaded. Form 4A also says RFP quote prevails over portal quote.
Appendix E/B milestones 10%+20%+10%+20%+30% = 90%; no 10% retention/final tranche is defined.
LOI lists TP-scheme/master-plan style domains; Pre Qualification Form item 4 describes growth/turnaround/transformation/economic development style projects for the same 'at least 2 projects' test.
LOI/Data Sheet require INR 15 Cr from relevant consulting only, phrased as both average and each of three years; pre-qual form only says Rs. 15 crore annual turnover for last 3 FYs.
ITC says open after two working days from submission deadline; Data Sheet fixes PQ opening on 18.09.2026 (and later technical/financial dates).
Form 4A/SCC say quote exclusive of Service tax (reimbursed by Client); Form 4B includes GST lines and TOTAL COSTS (Including GST).
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 KUDA to confirm whether the bid is for 16 weeks, 19-week payment schedule, or 26-week ToR scope, and whether the optional second 16 weeks is in/out of the financial bid.
Seek written clarification of pricing method, BOQ field on KPPP, and how 10% performance security is computed if project cost is unknown.
Confirm whether Appendix E intentionally totals 90%, what happens to the remaining 10%, and whether a separate bank guarantee is required against the first invoice in addition to 10% performance security.
RFP text is silent on EMD and document fee; request confirmation of any portal-charged EMD/tender fee, acceptable instruments and exemptions before bid submission.
LOI TP-scheme/master-plan domains vs pre-qual form growth/turnaround wording, and 7 years vs Form 3A 'last five years' — ask which controls pass/fail and scoring.
ToR requires 7-day traffic counts, O-D, axle load, geotech boreholes, IRC structural design, GADs, PWD-based BOQ and statutory TPS packages for ~45 km / 60 m RoW / ~2700 ha — ask minimum investigation densities, number of TPS, and whether landowner consultation logistics are client-facilitated.
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/Penalty up to 5% of contract value covers delay and also delay in deployment/replacement/non-deployment of key/development professionals.
10% PBG of quoted rate, on-demand style Appendix F guarantee, encashment without notice if not renewed, and top-up within 15 days after partial invocation.
Client may terminate for any reason whatsoever on 60 days' notice (event (e)), in addition to 30-day termination for default/insolvency/Force Majeure/corruption.
Full PRR feasibility + TPS + multi-survey DPR package for ~45 km corridor is paired with a 16-week Phase 1 / 19-week payment end / 26-week ToR inconsistency — high delivery and LD exposure.
Milestone payments depend on 'approval' steps; schedule totals 90%; first payment may need matching BG; delayed-payment interest only 5% p.a.
INR 15 Cr relevant-consulting turnover each of last 3 years, min 2 eligible public assignments, no JV/consortium — narrows competition but also blocks teaming for niche TPS+highway DPR skills except 2 subcontracted experts.
Professional liability insurance at least equal to total contract value required; deliverables become Client property; mutual liability cap at contract price/fees paid, with fraud/personal-injury carve-outs.
Disputes go KUDA (60 days) then Commissioner (TP & UDAs), UDD, GoK whose decision 'shall be binding'; then courts — jurisdiction Civil Court at Bengaluru, not Kalaburagi.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
