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 an OEM/manufacturer of Heat Exchangers holding a valid ASME 'U' Stamp at bid submission, valid through manufacturing completion.
At least one executed PO for manufacturing, testing and supplying 1 No. Shell & Tube HE to ASME Sec VIII Div 1, design pressure ≥ 25 kg/cm²(g), HTA ≥ 96 m², on NG/CNG/Hydrocarbons/Ammonia/Steam/Steam Condensate/BFW service, to Fertilizer/Petrochemical/Refinery/Power/Oil & Gas/Steel only.

MSE Purchase Preference = Yes (OEM/manufacturer MSEs with valid Udyam, online-validated); traders excluded.
Any bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration grounds immediate termination and legal action.
Signed and stamped Integrity Pact with date on each page is a pre-requisite for pre-qualification; failure results in outright rejection.
NIT Annexure III sets RCF debarment (holiday/black-listing) rules for integrity breaches and other defaults; allied firms also covered.
No affirmative consortium/JV bidding structure is invited; land-border rules define bidder to include consortium/JV members if applicable.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
1 No. Heat Exchanger for Gas Pre-heating (Shell & Tube) — Item Code 300159794 — complete design-to-delivery package.
Design to ASME Section VIII Division 1; construction TEMA Class R; TPI only by LRIS / BV / DNV / TUV (charges inclusive).
Includes 200% spare gaskets each size, test rings, anchor bolts, N2 filling kit, and full manufacturing/as-built document set with supply.
Deliver 1 No. to STORES, RCF Ltd Thal, Alibag, District Raigad, PIN 402208 within 224 days of GeM Contract; FOR RCF site delivery.
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.
Online two-packet bid on GeM portal for Bid GEM/2026/B/7936188; documents required from seller include Additional Doc 1 & 2 as requested in ATC.
Sign, stamp and date each page of listed ATC/commercial forms; blank confirmation fields treated as ‘Agreed’.
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, addendum or pre-bid reply document is included among the downloaded tender files; original bid values 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.
Same Pre-Bid meeting clause says both 'No Video Conferencing shall be conducted' and that bidders may participate through VC on 2-day prior request.
ATC/Annexure XII require online EMD only and reject DD/other modes, while GeM EMD Detail says EMD shall also be accepted as a surety bond.
Bid Details header sets MSE and Startup relaxation for Years of Experience and Turnover to No, but PQC/ATC and Annexures V & VIII grant turnover/experience relaxations and EMD exemptions.
Buyer technical requirements require QAP to RCF within 21 days after PO, while Inspection clause 23.1 says within 15 days after PO placement.
Bid detail sets Inspection Required (GeM empanelled authority) = No, while technical ATC mandates stage-wise TPI by LRIS/BV/DNV/TUV only with charges in price.
Bid Details lists Arbitration Clause = No and Mediation Clause = No, but Buyer Added ATC sets full domestic (Mumbai), foreign (SIAC Singapore) and CPSE AMRCD arbitration regimes.
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 buyer to publish exact pre-bid schedule and resolve the No-VC vs VC-allowed contradiction.
Seek written confirmation whether only RCF online gateway is accepted, or GeM surety bond is also acceptable.
Request buyer confirmation that Annexure V/VIII relaxations override the GeM Bid Details 'No' flags, and what quantum applies to the 7-year/96 m²/25 kg/cm²(g) experience criterion.
Checklist asks OEM vs dealer, but PQC requires OEM/manufacturer with ASME U stamp and manufacturer proof — clarify if dealer bids with OEM credentials are barred.
ePBG is 5% for 20 months (= guarantee + 2 months), implying ~18-month guarantee, but no standalone warranty clause text states 18 months — ask buyer to confirm SD/%, warranty start event, and PBG claim period.
Resolve conflicting post-award QAP submission periods before planning engineering schedule.
Process data gives duties/temps/pressures but not required HTA or exchanger type designation for the offered unit — confirm whether vendor thermal design may size freely under 10% over-design and what minimum HTA RCF expects.
Checklist requires 'Agreement to MAD Clause and payment terms' but MAD is not defined/expanded in the attached ATC text — request the full MAD clause wording.
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.
LD @ 0.5% of contract value of delayed quantity per week or part week, cap 5% normally and up to 10% for inordinate delay (>25% of completion period); ATC treats LD % as genuine pre-estimate payable on demand without proof of loss.
No deviation allowed from 100% within 10 days of CRAC; prices firm and all-inclusive FOR Thal; early payment costs 12% p.a.
Late SD triggers recovery with SOFR+2% or MCLR+2% interest from first payment; 5% security tied up ~20 months from supply.
100% radiography of shell and tube-side seams, extensive NDE, restricted TPI agencies, and no dispatch without TPI release note plus RCF hydrotest witness.
Missing any PQC supporting document, EMD (without valid exemption), or signed Integrity Pact leads to outright rejection; EMD forfeitable on withdrawal or failure to execute/furnish SD.
IP is PQC-mandatory; breaches can trigger debarment up to 2 years (RCF) or wider DoE debarment, and IP validity extends to two years from last payment.
Contradictions on EMD mode, MSE/startup relaxation flags, VC pre-bid, QAP timing and arbitration headers create avoidable disqualification or dispute risk if bidder guesses wrong.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
