The technical bid opens on 21/09/2026 at 3:30 PM.
The bid must remain valid for 180 days from the Bid Due Date; an extension request may require a matching extension of EMD validity.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs. 2,22,24,00,566 for the four-year project, exclusive of GST; the BOQ calculation carries an additional 44 paise (Rs. 2,22,24,00,566.44).
Rs. 2,32,24,006, submitted as BG, FDR or an available online mode. The RFP gives no fixed initial expiry date; it requires EMD validity to be extended whenever bid validity is extended.
INR 11,800 including 18% GST, non-refundable, payable online through RTGS/NEFT during document download.
5% of the Contract Amount. The prescribed performance BG is from a scheduled commercial bank, payable on first demand; its validity date is left to be inserted and the form states a statutory claim period of one year after BG validity.
Monthly bills for work actually done are due by the 7th. After verification, 70% is payable within 14 working days; the balance, net of penalties and prior payment, is to be cleared within 30 working days. Contractor must first pay all manpower remuneration.
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 must be one eligible natural/legal entity; JV/consortium bids and subletting are not allowed.
During the 10 years before Bid Due Date, bidder must demonstrate at least four years of successful MSW collection and transportation operations in India: one project at 80%, two at 50% each, or three at 40% each of project capacity.
Bidder must also have at least four years' successful Indian manpower experience in road sweeping and drain cleaning, horticulture/facility management and mechanized cleaning relating to waste management, meeting the same 80%/50%/40% project-capacity combinations.
Qualifying work must be supported by satisfactory experience/performance certificates, work orders, agreement copies and/or LOAs showing MSW quantities and monthly/annual billing; certificates must be issued by Municipal Corporation/Govt PSU at not below Executive Engineer/Municipal Commissioner or equivalent rank.
Average annual financial turnover must be twice the one-year project cost over the immediately preceding three consecutive financial years; net worth must be positive; bank solvency must equal the estimated one-year project cost.
Only bidders scoring above 70/100 proceed to financial evaluation. Marks cover turnover (20), similar C&T project value (30), similar manpower deployment (30), and offline presentation/approach (20).
Bidder must have no disqualifying conflict of interest and must not be subject to a subsisting Central/State Government or controlled-entity bar/blacklisting on Bid Date. Corrupt, fraudulent, coercive, undesirable or restrictive practice can cause rejection and at least two years' exclusion from BMC tenders.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Four-year, city-wide service across wards 1-51: source-segregated door-to-door MSW collection from residential/commercial establishments, secondary collection and transportation to transfer/processing/disposal sites, drain cleaning, and manual/mechanized road sweeping.
Pricing baseline is 79,455 establishments and 500 km of mechanized/manual road sweeping. The BOQ operational baseline is 1,605 manpower; the RFP separately states a CPHEEO minimum of 1,958, creating an unresolved conflict reported under contradictions.
Scope includes sweeping-waste removal, animal waste/dead bodies, monsoon fogging/anti-larval/lime-bleaching, rostered drain cleaning and roadside grass cutting, horticulture waste, air-pollution measures, manpower for instructed deep borings/government premises, VVIP/event/monsoon extra manpower, and IEC activities.
Contractor finances all vehicle/equipment shortfalls, operates and maintains the fleet and transfer stations, repairs and uses existing BMC assets without reimbursement, and constructs two 50-TPD transfer stations reflected in the BOQ.
GPS on vehicles, RFID at each household/location, readers, biometric attendance, real-time MIS and ICCC integration are required at contractor cost, with route maps and monthly operational/payment reports.
Detailed action plan is due 30 days before work commencement; all vehicles two days before commencement; 100% door-to-door COD within 150 days from commencement; complaint centre before commencement; GPS within 30 days and household RFID within 180 days from commencement.
User-charge collection belongs to BMC; contractor has no right to collect or retain user charges from waste generators.
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.
Single-stage online bid on eproc2.bihar.gov.in, comprising EMD deposit/proof, technical bid and financial bid. Technical eligibility documents and price bid are uploaded online; hard-copy technical or financial bids cause rejection.
Bidder must register on the portal and use a Class II DSC; bids are encrypted and digitally signed. The authorized DSC user's signature binds the bidder.
Bid and correspondence must be in English; non-English support must carry an English translation. Prescribed forms require the authorized person's signature and, where shown, bidder seal/stamp, letterhead, stamp paper and notarisation.
RFP clause 2.8.6 requires only the tender-fee receipt, EMD BG/FDR/online receipt and POA originals at the scheduled bid opening. Clause 7.1 instead places proof of EMD, POA and unspecified affidavits after technical evaluation; bidders should obtain written confirmation because these instructions conflict.
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.
Four pure date corrigenda moved document availability from 29/06/2026 to 07/07, 24/07, 10/08 and finally 24/08/2026; pre-bid from 06/07 to 10/07, 04/08, 14/08 and finally 29/08/2026; submission/opening from 31/07 to 05/08, 25/08, 31/08 and finally 21/09/2026. Other terms remained unchanged.
The authority clarified that the 80%/50%/40% experience thresholds use the total four-year project cost, and one integrated MSW project can satisfy both C&T and sweeping/drain-cleaning parameters.
Requests to use one-year cost for experience, reduce bank solvency, permit JV/consortium, add an SPV, increase escalation to 10%, remove penalties, accept leased vehicles/machinery, and alter turnover/net-worth/manpower criteria were rejected by retaining the RFP terms.
Documents available 24/08/2026 10:00 AM; pre-bid 29/08/2026 11:00 AM; online bid due 21/09/2026 3:00 PM; technical opening 21/09/2026 3:30 PM. Substantive RFP terms remain, subject to the pre-bid experience interpretations above.
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.
Clause 4.2 says minimum manpower must not be less than 1,958, but the next page says BMC requires 1,605 and the BOQ prices 1,605. No corrigendum resolves this; the more project-specific BOQ/BMC statement supports 1,605 for pricing, but the express 1,958 minimum creates serious compliance risk requiring written clarification.
Definition sets COD at 30 days from LOA, project milestones allow 100% door-to-door COD within 150 days from commencement, while annulment applies if operations do not start within 90 days of agreement. These cannot all govern the same commencement event; no amendment identifies which prevails.
Clause 2.8.6 requires fee receipt, EMD instrument/receipt and POA at bid opening; Clause 7.1 instead requires EMD proof, POA and affidavits after technical evaluation. The later section does not state it supersedes Clause 2.8.6.
Scope expressly includes collection and transport of C&D waste to designated sites, but the penalty clause penalizes transporting C&D waste to any designated site, processing site or transfer station under this contract. No prevailing interpretation is stated.
RFP/NIT states Rs.2,22,24,00,566 while BOQ totals Rs.2,22,24,00,566.44. The notice value is the stated tender estimate; the BOQ is the arithmetic detail and reveals a 44-paise rounding difference.
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.
Critical ruling: 80%/50%/40% capacity is measured against the total four-year project cost, materially increasing the qualifying reference-project value versus a one-year baseline.
A single integrated MSW project covering C&T, road sweeping and drain cleaning may satisfy both experience parameters concurrently.
Authority rejected relaxation of bank solvency below the full one-year estimated cost and rejected JV/consortium participation; bidders must meet both alone.
Requests for 10% escalation, removal of penalties and acceptance of rental/lease vehicles were not accepted; original 4% escalation, penalty and asset obligations remain.
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.
Contractor must finance equipment shortfalls, repair/use BMC's existing assets without reimbursement, arrange all movable/immovable assets within 30 days of LOA, and build transfer stations within four months. Delay attracts 1% of affected CAPEX per day and LOA may be revoked.
After 120 days, daily collection-efficiency penalties range from 1% to 100% of the total monthly bill; at 60-69% for 20 days termination starts, and reaching 10% monthly deduction permits a termination notice.
Contractor must pay wages before billing and prove Aadhar-enabled biometric attendance. Invoice without prior wage payment is penalized INR 5,00,000 per day/instance; over 30% worker absence is INR 15,00,000 per day/incident; fraudulent biometric practice can reach Rs.25 lakh per day/instance plus withholding/termination.
Only 70% is released after verification within 14 working days; balance may run to 30 working days and is net of penalties. Missing wage or biometric reports alone can each deduct 15% of the monthly bill, while contractor has already funded wages and operations.
Payment uses the tender's fixed household count even if actual establishments increase, contractor cannot collect user charges, and escalation is only 4% from the third year despite four-year execution.
On contractor-default termination after work starts, built infrastructure must be handed over without compensation, and BMC may assign the setup, vehicles and equipment to another operator; performance during disputes must continue.
Manpower, COD, physical-original timing and C&D-waste clauses conflict internally. These can cause bid rejection, underpricing or penalties unless clarified before submission.
