All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Published on 15/07/2026 at 18:30 hrs; document download/sale and bid submission opened on 16/07/2026 at 09:30 hrs.
Clarifications may be raised through the CPP Portal from 16/07/2026 at 09:30 hrs until 23/07/2026 at 18:30 hrs; no separate pre-bid meeting is stated.
Submit both e-bid envelopes by 06/08/2026 at 16:00 hrs on the CPP Portal.
Envelope I (technical/PQ) opens on 07/08/2026 at 16:00 hrs; Envelope II (financial) is scheduled for 14/08/2026 at 16:00 hrs, subject to CPP Portal intimation if changed.
Keep the tender open for 90 days from opening of the financial bid. One tender form says ‘03 (Three) Months’; because that can differ from 90 days, bidders should maintain validity for at least 90 days and seek confirmation.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Estimated cost is Rs. 17.67 Lakh excluding GST.
Rs. 1,180.00 inclusive of GST, non-refundable, payable online through the CPP Portal only.
Rs. 53,010, payable online on the CPP Portal only. No separate EMD instrument validity or claim period is stated for this online payment. Unsuccessful bidders' EMD is to be returned within one week of financial-bid opening; the successful bidder's EMD is returned/adjusted upon the applicable security deposit arrangement.
Tender-specific Schedule E marks Performance Guarantee ‘N/A’. Security deposit is 10% of contract value; because performance guarantee is not applicable, GCC provides deduction at 10% of each running bill until 10% of contract value is reached. No interest is paid on security deposit, which becomes refundable after the six-month maintenance/defect-liability period, subject to the contract and limitation clause.
Quoted rates exclude GST, ESI, EPF and bonus. GST is payable extra; eligible ESI/EPF employer contributions and bonus are reimbursed on actuals against documentary evidence. Statutory wage increases are reimbursed without contractor overhead or profit.
Monthly running bills are measurement-based and become eligible when gross work since the previous payment reaches Rs. 2.00 Lakh, except the final bill. At least 75% of the net bill under check is due within 10 working days and the balance after final checking within 28 working days; qualifying delay beyond 30 days attracts simple interest at the prevailing GPF rate.
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.
During the seven years ending 30/06/2026, the bidder must have successfully or substantially completed horticulture work in one of these combinations: three works of Rs. 7.07 Lakh each, two works of Rs. 8.84 Lakh each, or one work of Rs. 14.14 Lakh, each under a single contract.
Client certificates must state nature and value of work, contractual and actual start/completion dates, and satisfactory completion. For non-government/non-PSU experience, submit TDS certificate(s) plus a registered CA certificate naming the work, total payment received and TDS amount.
Average annual financial turnover on construction works must be at least Rs. 6.26 Lakh for the last three financial years ending 31 March of the previous financial year. Continuous losses during all three years cause summary rejection. Turnover/profit-loss evidence must be CA-certified with UDIN.
Minimum net worth is Rs. 2.65 Lakh, certified by a Chartered Accountant in Form C with UDIN; the printed form also certifies that net worth has not eroded by more than 30% in the last three years.
In any one of the last five years ending 31 March of the previous year, the bidder must have achieved annual general-construction value equal to twice the projected annual construction expenditure; at least 50% must be relevant engineering construction work. It must be CA-certified and submitted in Form D, but no Form D is printed in the tender package.
Submit PAN and GST registration. A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India must be registered with the competent authority and provide the Annexure-LBS declaration/evidence. PF, ESIC and labour-licence registrations are post-award requirements where applicable to deployed labour.
Consortium/JV bids are not permitted. Related bidders with common partners/directors or close family business relationships may not submit separate bids. The bidder, its proprietor/partners/board members/directors must not be under an in-force restraint/debarment/blacklisting by AAI, MoCA or DoE at technical opening; poor-performing or restrained AAI agencies may be disallowed.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Provide complete maintenance of existing gardens/landscape for 12 months at Vadodara Airport: in front of OTB and NITB, both sides of NITB, around the food court, between NITB and apron, the VIP garden, and the airside lawn area.
Maintain 247,781.00 Sqm of lawn/landscape, 21,622.00 m of hedge and 2,120 trees older than eight years; supply 20 bags of 50-kg vermicompost, 8.50 bags each of 50-kg urea and DAP, 100 containers each of 250-ml Chloro Cyper (or equivalent) and 100-ml Profeno Cyper (or equivalent), plus 100 ‘Each’ of semi-carpet lawn.
The scope calls for at least seven Malis plus one agency supervisor, with extra seasonal manpower if needed. Lawn and hedge work is maintained and measured monthly; mowing is required day-to-day using a lawn mower or bush cutter. The contractor supplies all manpower, tools, plant, equipment, power and storage at its own cost unless expressly reimbursable.
Start is reckoned 10 days after the letter of acceptance; complete within 12 months. Execute to CPWD Specifications 2019 Volumes I-II with current corrections, MORTH/other relevant specifications, tender technical specifications and manufacturers' specifications. The defect-liability/maintenance period is six months after physical completion.
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 online only at https://etenders.gov.in/eprocure/app in two envelopes: Envelope I for technical/PQ documents and Envelope II for the financial BOQ. Hard-copy applications are not entertained, apart from the separately stated Integrity Pact instruction.
Use one valid Class II or Class III DSC with signing-key usage issued by a CCA-recognised authority. Upload digitally signed scanned files; the PQ declaration/checklist requires signature and stamp. Do not alter the tender or BOQ filename/template; enter only permitted bidder-name and rate cells.
Clause 29.1 says the signed Integrity Pact must reach the Asst. General Manager (Engg-C)-II, AAI, Goa International Airport, Dabolim, Goa by the critical-sheet deadline, with a scanned copy in Envelope I. This conflicts with the Vadodara tender identity, the general no-hard-copy rule, the checklist omission and Schedule F's unresolved ‘Yes/No’; obtain written clarification before relying on this address.
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.
Schedule E says Performance Guarantee is N/A, while generic Clause 1(b) says the accepted bidder must furnish 5%. The main Clause 1 limits PG to works above Rs. 5 crore and this tender is Rs. 17.67 lakh, so the tender-specific N/A and 10% security deposit should prevail; confirm before award.
Special Condition 24.1 asks for 6 Malis plus 1 supervisor; the BOQ manpower table states 7 unskilled Malis and zero skilled supervisor; Scope Clause 38 asks for at least 7 Malis plus one supervisor. For pricing and deployment, the later and more explicit Scope Clause 38 is safer: 7 Malis plus 1 supervisor, pending clarification.
Clause 22.4 caps reimbursable bonus at the lower of current rules or 8.33% of annual salary, while Special Condition 32 says the higher. Special Conditions override GCC/general provisions, so the later Special Condition wording (‘whichever is higher’) should prevail, but this materially affects price and needs written confirmation.
The PQ checklist lists FY 2022-23 to 2024-25, while the prescribed Form B lists FY 2023-24 to 2025-26. The eligibility clause requires the last three years ending 31 March of the previous financial year, and Form B is the prescribed format, so FY 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 should apply unless FY 2025-26 is unaudited under Form B's note.
The NIT makes Form D mandatory for the general-construction-value criterion, but it is absent from the printed forms and the exhaustive PQ checklist. The eligibility requirement remains stated; obtain the prescribed form or written permission to provide equivalent CA-certified data.
Clause 29.1 calls the Integrity Pact mandatory and directs physical delivery to Goa, but the tender is for Vadodara, hard-copy applications are barred, the PQ checklist omits the pact, and Schedule F leaves applicability as ‘Yes/No’. The explicit Clause 29.1 cannot safely be ignored; seek an urgent portal clarification on applicability, correct recipient and physical-delivery deadline.
The tender-specific form says 03 months from financial opening, while General Rule 20 and the GCC tender form say 90 days. These are not always the same duration; maintain at least 90 days pending clarification.
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 the minimum payable deployment for BOQ Items 1-3: 6 Malis + 1 supervisor, 7 Malis with no skilled supervisor, or 7 Malis + 1 supervisor; also confirm the supervisor's skill category and whether all eight persons are embedded in BOQ rates.
Is the Integrity Pact applicable? If yes, confirm whether only the scanned Envelope-I copy is required or a physical original too, and replace/confirm the apparent Goa recipient for this Vadodara tender.
Please issue the missing Form D and state the exact rupee threshold for ‘twice the projected annual construction expenditure’, including whether this criterion is intended for this horticulture AMC and which financial year set applies.
Confirm whether reimbursable bonus is the higher or lower of statutory rules and 8.33%, and confirm that no 5% performance guarantee applies and only the 10% security deposit is required.
BOQ Item 9.01 specifies 100 ‘Each’ of semi-carpet lawn without dimensions, area per unit, variety or acceptance standard. Please define the size/coverage and specification so bidders can price comparably.
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.
For this work above Rs. 10 lakh, contractor-attributable delay attracts 0.5% of tendered value per week, capped at 10% of contract value. Equipment downtime recoveries are Rs. 500/day for a lawn mower and Rs. 180/day for a bush cutter; absent staff is recovered at applicable daily wages.
Even after award, if the final bill at accepted rates exceeds the amount recalculated using the second-lowest bidder's quoted rate, payment is limited to the lower amount. This is an unusual open-ended revenue risk that should be priced/clarified before bidding.
AAI may split the work between up to two contractors by negotiation, and newly added/replaced/modified installations that need no extra manpower must be maintained at no extra cost. This creates volume, interface and margin uncertainty.
The contractor bears police verification, entry-pass and security-pass costs, must work around restricted-hour instructions without claim, and deploy staff on Sundays and gazetted holidays (subject to weekly off) without extra payment. Service disruption is stated to be a statutory offence.
Wages must reach workers by NEFT/RTGS/cheque on or before the 7th every month, regardless of holidays. Violations in any two months can trigger cancellation and debarment. Failure to deposit PF/ESI can cause withholding/recovery at 26% and 6% respectively; if ESI is unavailable, Rs. 2 lakh mediclaim per worker is required.
No payment is due for rain/natural-calamity damage, multiple shifts, night/holiday work, power, storage, equipment or staff accommodation. Watch-and-ward responsibility continues until physical handover or one year after physical completion, whichever is earlier, even though the defect-liability period is six months.
Clause 10CC applies only where the stipulated completion exceeds 18 months, while this contract is 12 months. Except expressly reimbursable statutory wage changes and labour components, bidders bear input-cost inflation risk.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
