UPoHA to Erection of Monoliths and Peripheral Development at Lalpeth Monoliths, Dist. Chandrapur, under ASI Nagpur Circle.
16 civil/heritage site works items: dismantling, earthwork, PCC/RCC footings with TMT, structural steel support to monolith, sandstone masonry/pedestals/flooring, landscaping, fencing/gates, painting, and one heritage façade illumination job.
Time allowed for completion is 180 days; supply/work orders may be placed in piecemeal and quantity may increase beyond tendered quantity as work progresses.
Specified mixes, materials and finishes include PCC 1:4:8, RCC 1:2:4, CM 1:6 sandstone masonry, lime mortar ashlar work, hot-dip galvanized steel with zinc-rich primer and epoxy/polyurethane paint, and IP-66/IK-08 DMX LED façade lighting.
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.
Bids are online only on CPP portal https://eprocure.gov.in/eprocure/app; manual bids are not accepted.
Valid Class II or Class III DSC with signing key usage is required; bidder must digitally sign and upload required bid documents one by one.
Original EMD instrument (and tender fee DD if applicable) hard copy must be delivered in a separate sealed cover superscribed 'E.M.D.' to SA, ASI Nagpur on or before technical bid opening date/time in the Critical Data Sheet (30.09.2026 03.30 P.M.).
NIT pages must be signed and stamped; tender form signed by tenderer; Annexure-II on Rs.100 stamp paper attested by notary; technical eligibility documents are self-attested copies.
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 tender pack contains only the NIT (two identical PDF uploads) and BOQ; no corrigendum, addendum or pre-bid reply document is present, so original NIT/BOQ values finally apply.
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.
NIT p.2 allows DD from any recognized scheduled bank guaranteed by RBI, while Annexure-IV item 11 requires DD from a nationalized bank.
Invitation text limits registration to ASI/PWD/CPWD/MES/Railway/Irrigation, while Annexure-IV adds 'or any other Govt. organization'.
Terms require tender fee DD and CPP offline fee entry, but Critical Data Sheet and BOQ state no tender-fee amount.
Payee is written as 'SUPERINTENDING ARCHAEOLOGIST, ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA' on p.2 and 'Superintending Archaeologist, ASI, Nagpur Circle' on p.4.
NIT states estimated cost Rs.85,60,930/- and requires quotes within CVC/tender-cost range, but the uploaded BOQ shows Estimated Rate 0 for all items.
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 tender document fee is payable and the exact DD amount/payee, since fee is referenced but not quantified.
Seek written clarification whether scheduled bank DDs are acceptable or only nationalized banks, and the exact favouring name for the DD.
Request confirmation whether monolith erection/structural support, sandstone ashlar/flooring, or general ASI conservation civil works each count as 'similar nature' for the 7-year experience criteria.
Ask the governing quantity-variation limit, rate protection and measurement basis when cl. 37 allows material quantity to increase beyond tendered quantity and piecemeal orders.
Clarify whether 9-month FDR performance security covers only the 180-day completion period or also a defects liability period, and when it is released.
Ask how 'within the range of CVC guidelines and of the tender cost' will be evaluated when BOQ estimated rates are zero and only a lump estimated cost is published.
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.
100% EMD forfeiture on withdrawal/modification during 180-day validity, and forfeiture if work not started in time or performance security not deposited.
Employer may issue piecemeal supply/work orders and increase material quantity beyond tendered quantity without a stated variation cap.
Contractor bears GST and all other taxes/levies/cess; department will not entertain tax claims; TDS is deducted.
Compensation liability for mishaps/accidents to labourers rests solely with the contractor; ASI pays no compensation.
If treated as deploying workers, fortnightly bank-transfer wage proofs are mandatory with bills; otherwise no payment and services liable to termination; minimum-wages failure is ineligibility.
ASI may amend/withdraw terms or reject any/all tenders without notice or reason; not obliged to accept lowest bid; authority may reject incomplete tenders.
180-day completion for monolith structural support, extensive sandstone works, landscaping and lighting at a protected monument site, without a printed liquidated-damages schedule in this NIT.
Original EMD must reach Nagpur office on or before technical bid opening (30.09.2026 03.30 P.M.); courier delay can cause summary rejection even if online bid is timely.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
