120 days from the bid end date.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
The estimated procurement value is not disclosed: the GeM availability report masks it as ₹ xxxxxx.x. No tender/document fee is stated in the bid documents reviewed.
₹13,000 (Rupees Thirteen Thousand Only), payable to POWER GRID CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED at Secunderabad. Under the tender-specific ATC, acceptable instruments are Demand Draft, Pay Order, Banker's Cheque, bank-certified cheque, eligible-bank BG, or POWERGRID online payment; the security must remain valid 45 days beyond the 120-day bid validity.
Tender-specific ATC requires 5% of Contract Price within 28 days of LOA/PO, despite the GeM bid cover stating ePBG ‘No’. It may be furnished as an eligible-bank BG valid through 90 days beyond successful completion (including extensions), or recovered as 5% deductions from running bills until 5% of Contract Price is reached. Deducted security is returned without interest 3 months after successful completion.
Payment is kilometre-based: 100% within 30 days after submission and acceptance of the detailed valuation report, against a tax invoice certified by the Engineer-in-Charge, the accepted detailed report, and a joint measurement statement signed by contractor and POWERGRID. Invoices go to the relevant consignee; 5% is withheld as security deposit until the 5% ceiling is reached.
Quote one all-inclusive price for the entire scope, including GST, on GeM; also upload the prescribed BOQ price breakup. If portal lump sum and BOQ breakup differ, the GeM portal lump sum prevails.
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.
Pass/fail: the bidder must be an independent land valuer empanelled/registered by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) for Andhra Pradesh to conduct property/land valuations for the last THREE years as of the originally scheduled bid-opening date.
The invitation is open to firms/companies and government-owned enterprises registered and incorporated in India. Government departments, foreign bidders/MNCs not registered and incorporated in India, and bidders with whom POWERGRID has banned business are ineligible.
Pass/fail: only a Class-I local supplier is eligible; present minimum local content is 50%. The bid must carry the prescribed self-certification stating local-content percentage and value-addition locations. For packages above Rs. 10 Cr, an auditor/cost-accountant/chartered-accountant certificate is additionally required.
A bidder is ineligible for one year after POWERGRID determines any of these events on its contracts: termination for contractor default; CPG encashment for non-performance; repeated major-equipment failure; subcontracting more than 50% of a contract; or direct payments above 25% of awarded value due to the contractor's financial position. A firm referred to NCLT under IBC is ineligible until it exits resolution. A fresh event before price-bid opening also makes the bid non-responsive.
The bidder must proactively disclose conflicts of interest and any Code-of-Integrity transgression or debarment by another procuring entity during the last three years. False/non-disclosure can trigger bid-security forfeiture, rejection, contract termination, CPG forfeiture and banning/debarment.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; the bid must include the compliance undertaking. False declaration/non-compliance is grounds for immediate termination and legal action.
GeM expressly marks MSE and startup relaxation for years of experience and turnover as ‘No’. No separate turnover or net-worth threshold is stated in the tender-specific qualification criteria.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Engagement of an independent land valuer to survey the transmission-line RoW corridor and determine fair market land value impartially, accurately and confidentially through site inspection, data gathering, market-trend research, property description and justified valuation methods.
Total assessed corridor length is 71.996 km in Palnadu District, Andhra Pradesh: 44.236 km for 765 kV DC Kurnool III–Cpeta TL03 and 27.76 km for the LILO of 400 kV DC Vijayawada–Nellore at Cpeta TL05, across the listed villages/tehsils.
Submit individual detailed market-land-rate reports with photographs to the Engineer-in-Charge. Reports must give section-wise (tower-to-tower length and width) market land rates and tehsil-wise results, and be delivered in sealed envelopes to the concerned DC/DM. POWERGRID may request further survey information/details.
Contract period is fixed at TWO (02) months from the effective date. Village data are tentative; exact route and tower coordinates will be provided during execution, and work may be staged to project requirements. Work follows Engineer-in-Charge directions.
Items not expressly in the BOQ but required to complete the service are deemed included unless specifically excluded. POWERGRID may vary aggregate contract quantity/value by ±25% without changing unit rates or other terms.
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.
Submit electronically on the GeM portal as a Two Packet Bid. Upload technical/qualification documents in the technical packet and the all-inclusive lump-sum price plus prescribed breakup in the financial packet. Any price disclosure in the technical part causes rejection.
GeM submission uses the portal's e-signing mechanism; GeM GTC treats e-sign as equivalent to a digital signature under the Information Technology Act Amendment 2008.
Use authorized signatories; Form 2 specifically requires a signatory duly authorized by the Board. POWERGRID may allow no more than 07 working days to rectify/furnish erroneously submitted or missing listed documents, without changing price or proposal substance; failure can reject the bid.
Upload the scanned EMD with the online bid and deliver its hard-copy original directly to the Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening. The Buyer/Employer address stated in the ATC is POWERGRID, Kavadiguda Main Road, Secunderabad – 500 080.
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 AI found nothing to report for this question.
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 details say ePBG is not required, but the tender-specific ATC requires 5% CPG within 28 days or 5% bill deductions. The specific ATC is later and more detailed and should govern, but bidders should price and clarify the obligation before bidding.
GeM bid details mark Arbitration Clause ‘No’, while ATC Sl. No. 14 creates sole-arbitrator proceedings from POWERGRID's panel. The bid-specific ATC expressly supplements GTC and is the more specific contractual clause, but the portal flag should be corrected/clarified.
The bid cover says EMD is accepted as a surety bond, while ATC para 1.2 says the EMD shall be furnished ‘only’ as DD/Pay Order/Banker's Cheque/certified cheque/BG (with online payment later offered). Because the ATC is package-specific, use its listed modes unless POWERGRID confirms surety acceptance.
ATC page 8 says the EMD BG proforma is enclosed as Form-1, but printed Form-1 on pages 24–25 is the ex-employee declaration. No EMD BG proforma is printed. Bidder must obtain the correct BG wording from POWERGRID before issuing a BG.
Within the EMD clause, the online-payment instructions tell bidders to choose ‘Payment category: Performance Security’ and ‘Sub-category: Performance Security for SR-1’. This conflicts with the stated purpose as bid security and risks misallocation; obtain the correct EMD category/remarks before payment.
GeM GTC says the successful bidder's EMD is returned within 15 days after performance security/ePBG receipt; the ATC instead says it is returned only after the EMD amount is deducted from the first bill over and above security deposit. The package-specific ATC should prevail, creating additional first-bill cash retention.
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.
Please confirm whether the successful bidder must provide 5% CPG/security deposit, notwithstanding the GeM bid field ‘ePBG Required: No’; also confirm whether BG and running-bill deduction are true alternatives and the exact release date for each.
Please issue the actual EMD bank-guarantee proforma and confirm the correct POWERGRID e-payment category, because the promised Form-1 is an ex-employee declaration and the bid-security payment instructions identify ‘Performance Security’.
Please confirm whether ATC Sl. No. 14's sole-arbitrator mechanism applies, since the GeM bid summary says Arbitration Clause ‘No’.
Before pricing, please provide the final route/tower coordinates, tower-to-tower corridor widths, expected stage/mobilisation sequence, and confirmation that 71.996 km is the payable quantity. The current routes/villages are tentative, work may be staged, and the whole service must finish within two months.
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.
The service has only two months from effective date, yet exact route/tower coordinates arrive during execution and work may be released in stages. Mobilisation, land-market evidence collection, photography and sealed DC/DM reporting are exposed to buyer-driven sequencing.
Required items omitted from the BOQ are nevertheless deemed included. POWERGRID may vary total quantity/contract price by ±25% without changing unit rates or other terms, creating survey-effort and mobilisation risk.
Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of delayed-quantity contract value per week or part, normally capped at 5% of total Contract Value; ‘inordinate’ delay (more than 25% of the completion period) raises the maximum to 10%. No price increase is allowed during an LD extension, while GST reductions benefit the Buyer.
A 5% CPG/security deposit is required under ATC despite the ePBG ‘No’ field. Bill-deduction security is interest-free and released only three months after successful completion; the ATC also delays successful-bidder EMD return until the same amount is deducted again from the first bill.
Payment is only kilometre-wise after Engineer-in-Charge certification, report acceptance and joint measurement. POWERGRID may demand further survey information; bills require BTS creation plus hard-copy enclosures to PPPFC Bengaluru, so acceptance and administration can defer the stated 30-day clock.
POWERGRID may terminate for breach with forfeiture and one-year future ineligibility, terminate for convenience, and separately terminate at any stage on 15 days' notice without assigning a reason and without financial consideration/implication. Foreclosure compensation is limited to work actually executed, with no lost-profit claim.
Force majeure excludes predictable/seasonal rain and requires documented notice within 10 days of occurrence. Given field surveys during a short programme, missing this notice can expose weather delay to LD.
