GeM filter shows 3 years past experience for same/similar service; ATC PQ summary requires 05 years and detailed eligibility looks at last Five (5) years ending previous day of last submission date.
In last 5 years: one similar work ≥ ₹9.60 Cr, OR two ≥ ₹6.00 Cr each, OR three ≥ ₹4.80 Cr each.
Similar work = DSIC of modular ETP with MGF min. 900 KLD integrated with min. 325 KLD containerized desalination (IRF, UF, RO, media filters, PLC-HMI, instrumentation, VFD, UV) for drinking water from high-TDS acidic water, commissioned in last 5 years in a PSU mine in India; AND min. 12 months O&M of such integrated plant in last 5 years in a PSU mine in India.
Bidder or OEM (themselves or through reseller) should have supplied same/similar category products for 50% of bid quantity in at least one of the last three Financial years to any Central/State Govt Organization/PSU.
Bidder must visit both Mata No Madh and Umarsar lignite mines, assess ETPs/inlet-outlet water, and obtain site-visit declaration (Annexure V) signed/stamped by GMDC project representatives — compulsory for technical evaluation.
Bidder or directors must not have been blacklisted by any Government Organization within last 3 years from tender publication; false declaration → bid rejection or contract termination with EMD/SD forfeiture.
Bidders from countries sharing land border with India eligible only if registered with Competent Authority (GeM GTC cl.26). Conditional tenders rejected; false/incorrect information or unprofessional conduct can disqualify technical bid. Subletting of work not allowed (manpower from approved list only). No consortium/JV rules are set out.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, supply, installation & commissioning of 650 KLD containerized desalination plant (250 + 400 KLD) AND shifting, installation & augmentation of existing Umarsar 600 KLD ETP to Mata No Madh Lignite Mine, Kutch, Gujarat, with comprehensive O&M of 16 months.
Works at Mata No Madh Lignite Project, Kutch; ETP shifting from Umarsar Lignite Project to Mata No Madh. Consignee: GMDC Lignite Project, Mata No Madh, Post Ravapar, Tal Nakhatrana, Dist Kutch, Gujarat 370625.
SITC of containerized RO desalination for permeate min. 650 KLD from inlet TDS ≤20,000 mg/L; 24×7 operation (3×8-hr shifts); online pH/TSS/TDS analyzers and inlet/outlet flow meters with cloud storage; comprehensive O&M includes manpower, all spares and consumables.
Dismantle existing 600 KLD ETP at Umarsar, transport and reinstall at Mata No Madh with civil works; augment if needed to meet desalination source-water parameters; O&M 16 months with all spares/consumables; design basis inlet pH 2–3 to output pH 6.5–7.5 at min. 600 KLD / 30 m3/hr, 24×7.
Specified shift staffing (coordinator, plant in-charge, operators, helpers) with qualification/experience; quarterly NABL analysis; sludge to TSDF; cloud connectivity of analyzers/meters. GMDC provides 1100 m3/day pH-neutralized water from existing Mata No Madh ETP, power connection, internet, and assistance on statutory permissions.
Purchaser may increase or decrease ordered quantity up to 25% at placement and during currency at contracted rates, with defined additional delivery-time formula.
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-packet bid on GeM portal; upload all required documents in soft copy on GeM; also submit hard copies of all documents to GMDC Purchase Department, Ahmedabad, mentioning GeM Bid Number and Subject/Work.
Each page of tender document and supporting bid documents must be signed, dated and company-sealed; successful bidder must unconditionally accept all terms by signing & stamping each page. Supporting documents for annexures to be signed and stamped.
Seller documents required on GeM: Experience Criteria, Past Performance, Bidder Turnover, Certificate (Requested in ATC), Compliance of BoQ specification and supporting document.
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.
No corrigendum or addendum is present in the tender document set; GeM bid and ATC values stand as originally published.
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.
GeM bid filter requires 3 years past experience, while ATC PQ states 05 years and detailed eligibility uses last Five (5) years with PSU-mine similar-work definition.
GeM ePBG Detail shows Required = No, but ATC mandates Security Deposit @ 10% of contract value; GeM GTC indicates performance security typically up to 5% (GFR 3–5%).
GeM states 180 days from Bid End Date; ATC states 180 days from technical bid opening, auto-extendable by 90 days.
GeM/GTC allow multiple EMD forms including surety bond, DD, FDR, banker’s cheque, BG/e-BG or online; ATC EMD letter format says through D.D. only.
GeM payment timeline is within 30 days of CRAC and online bills; ATC gives detailed percentage milestones for Part A/B and 16 monthly O&M installments (also a one-line within 30 days of completion on ATC summary).
Estimate and price-bid table header say amounts including all taxes, but Annexure VI note 4 says price bid should be exclusive of GST (reimbursed additionally).
GeM consignee Delivery Days = 441; ATC contract/O&M period is 16 months from commencement, without a matching installation-only schedule in days.
Most ATC pages use Ahmedabad-380052; blacklisting declaration address block shows Ahmedabad - 380015.
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.
Material bid/no-bid issue because ATC similar-work definition (900 KLD ETP + 325 KLD containerized desal in a PSU mine + 12 months O&M) is far narrower than GeM’s generic 3-year same/similar category filter.
Cash-lock and bid pricing change materially if 10% SD for ~20 months is insisted upon.
Annexure VI conflicts with itself and with the ₹12.09 Cr including all taxes estimate; wrong assumption can flip L1.
Need clarity on SITC completion deadline, when O&M month-1 starts, and LD/penalty exposure if installation overruns before commencement of Plant.
ATC requires hard copies of all documents to Purchase Department, while GeM disclaimer treats mandating physical documents (other than EMD/Integrity Pact within 5 days of opening) as a pre-requisite as potentially voiding the bid.
Penalties for treated-water quality and staffing apply, with limited waiver if mine water/power unavailable; confirm guaranteed raw-water quantity/quality envelope, power reliability, and who bears downtime when GMDC free-issues fail.
Part A requires augmentation if required after site assessment to meet desalination inlet parameters — ask for baseline condition survey, excluded civil/structural caps, and whether unknown augmentation stays inside the lump-sum.
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.
Similar-work definition effectively requires integrated ~900 KLD ETP + ≥325 KLD containerized desalination commissioned in a PSU mine in India plus 12 months O&M — high disqualification risk for otherwise capable water-treatment bidders.
Multiple 1–2% monthly-bill penalties for manpower qualification/absence, missed quarterly NABL reports, treated-water parameter misses, calibration deviation, delayed cloud/water-meter connectivity, plus proportional deduction for full manpower absence.
EMD ₹36.27 lakh plus 10% SD (no interest), forfeitable for LOI non-acceptance, SD default, blacklisting falsehood, non-performance; termination at buyer’s sole discretion without assigning reason with risk-and-cost completion.
GMDC may cancel/terminate/amend/reduce/bifurcate scope without notice and without responsibility; foreclosure without compensation; force majeure yields no idle-cost compensation; option clause ±25% quantity.
Dual-site shifting logistics (Umarsar → Mata No Madh), acidic mine water (pH 2–3), high TDS ≤20,000 feed, sludge TSDF disposal, cloud telemetry within 15 days, and dependence on GMDC water/power/internet free-issues.
Back-ended milestones (commissioning 20–25%), O&M only after monthly completion, TDS/other deductions, and GeM CRAC pathway may delay cash versus supply outlay on a ~₹12 Cr package.
Exclusive jurisdiction Courts at Ahmedabad; arbitration/mediation clauses marked No on GeM bid; unconditional acceptance of all ATC terms required.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
