Documents prescribe both EE (H) by 27/07/2026 and Superintending Engineer [Civil] / EE within 7 days of opening for hard-copy originals.
General retention clause refunds retention within 14 days of final bill, while BG-replacement text releases half on TOC and half after DLP+365 days.
General conditions contain escalation and mobilization advance text, but Special Conditions make advance payment and escalation/compensation-event provisions not applicable.
LD is capped at 10% of contract price at ½% per week, but a note says contract price (excl. GST) for LD shall be inclusive of tender price plus taxes and duties.
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 whether any alternative experience (e.g., other pontoon/linkspan/jetty works without full RoRo/RoPax terminal + IRS/ABS/DNV certification) will be accepted, given the very narrow similar-work definition.
Request a single controlling instruction for physical originals: EE vs SE, and 27/07/2026 vs within 7 days of opening.
Seek written confirmation that escalation and mobilization advance are fully not applicable despite residual general-condition text.
Ask for estimated number of surveyor visits/day charges and confirm exact split of plan-approval vs fabrication/installation inspection costs between DPA/IITM and contractor.
Seek confirmation of actual pontoon weight/dimensions and working windows around operational Cargo Berth No.01 (craft, draft, monsoon restrictions).
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 requiring RoRo/RoPax terminal with steel pontoon + linkspan and IRS/ABS/DNV certification is a high bid/no-bid and JV-formation risk.
EMD ~Rs. 1.46 Cr plus 10% performance/retention security, with no mobilization advance, creates significant working-capital strain.
18 months including monsoon for complex marine steel fabrication/installation, with LD at ½% per week up to 10%, is a major commercial risk.
Contractor bears IRS/classification inspection costs and must achieve certification approvals for pontoon/linkspan fabrication and installation.
Multiple automatic non-responsiveness triggers and broad employer rights increase bid-process risk.
Contractor arranges own power/generator, must work with minimum interference to port operations, and remains responsible for ground conditions assessment.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
