Non-refundable tender fee is Rs. 6,000 + 18% GST = Rs. 7,080, payable by separate RTGS.
EMD is Rs. 8.45 Lacs, by separate RTGS only; successful bidder’s EMD converts to security.
Security is 10% of bonded/work cost; EMD converts and balance is deposited at agreement as FDR/CDR pledged to EE CD Varanasi-02 (with alternate GPW-9 mechanisms).
Percentage-rate tender (above/below BOQ); GST payable extra; payments only after funds received and subject to statutory/royalty deductions; final bill after handover.
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.
Online bids from UPAVP-registered/experienced contractors; checklist and ITT schedule require Category ‘A’ registration valid on last date of submission.
In last seven years in organised sector (Govt/Semi-govt/PSU): one similar work ≥ Rs. 337.88 Lacs, or two ≥ Rs. 211.18 Lacs each, or three ≥ Rs. 168.94 Lacs each.

Firms forming a joint venture to qualify are not eligible; only experience/turnover/liquid assets of a JV already working under one name may be considered — constituents’ individual credentials are not aggregated.
False documents, mafia/criminal links, pending UPHDB works >1 year, litigation against UPHDB, or blacklisting lead to rejection/termination and blacklisting/forfeiture.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Interior decoration and curation works for Munshi Premchand Memorial Museum and Library at Lamhi, Varanasi, as per BOQ, drawings and UPAVP/UP PWD specifications.
BOQ covers research/content/curation, interactive AV-IT museum exhibits, interior civil/finishes, electrical & lighting, graphics and furniture; total Rs. 4,22,03,754.34.
Complete entire work in 12 months (including rainy season), with monthly milestone/bar chart; time is of the essence.
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.
Two-bid e-tender on http://etender.up.nic.in / www.etender.up.nic.in; only DSC holders may bid; upload JPG/PDF scans.
Self-attest and upload checklist docs; sign all e-tender/corrigendum pages; deposit original EMD RTGS challan at EE office; hard copies must match uploads.
Separate RTGS for fee and EMD with UTR upload; technical bid incomplete ⇒ financial not opened; no conditional bids.
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 or addendum files are present; original NIT/TM/FM/BOQ dates, amounts and conditions apply as published.
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.
Documents state both ‘03 months / three months’ (from tender opening or generally) and ‘90 days from opening of financial bid’.
NIT invites UPAVP contractors in the relevant category, while checklist/TM 1.0 require Category ‘A’.
Checklist penalty affidavit uses 0.1% of project cost per day (max 10%), while GPW-9 Clause 2 uses up to 1% of estimated cost per day capped at security amount.
NIT sets 3-year DLP with 1% security held until then, while GPW-9 refunds security after 1 year of completion/final bill and TM says DLP 3 years but security as per GPW-9.
NIT/checklist require Rs. 10 stamp for electrical work affidavit; ITT 7(iv) requires Rs. 100 stamp paper affidavit.
ITT ties unsuccessful EMD return to 30 days after award to successful bidder (or bank verification); Special Conditions tie it to 30 days from acceptance of the tender.
FM cover says Rs. 422.35 Lacs (Including GST); NIT/TM generally state Rs. 422.35 Lacs without ‘including GST’, while NIT also says GST is payable separately on bills.
PQ defines similar work as ‘construction of building work similar nature’, while the BOQ is predominantly museum curation, AV-IT exhibits and interiors.
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 museum interior/curation/AV-IT jobs qualify, or only building construction of the stated values — and whether private-sector works are excluded despite ‘organised sector’ definition.
Seek written confirmation of the exact UPAVP enlistment class required to avoid checklist rejection.
Material pricing/risk query because the bid requires an affidavit accepting 0.1%/day max 10% while GCC prints a different compensation clause.
Clarify interaction of NIT 1% for 3-year DLP with GPW-9 one-year security refund rule.
Confirm GST treatment (FM says estimate including GST; NIT says GST extra) and whether validity is 90 days from financial opening or 3 months from tender opening.
Documents require original EMD challan deposit and threaten invalidation for hard-copy mismatch, but do not give a complete physical submission checklist/deadline.
Ask whether any interim payment assurance exists despite ‘payment only after funds received’, and whether unlimited BOQ variation without rate revision will be enforced for large AV items.
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.
Time is of the essence with aggressive daily compensation exposure and monthly catch-up-or-cancel progress rule.
Running/final payments depend on receipt of funds from Government/department/HQ; delayed funds give no contractor claim.
BOQ quantities may vary to any extent without compensation/extra rate; UPAVP may split work and contractor must accept part work at quoted rates.
10% security of bonded cost plus possible additional security for below-BOQ quotes; EMD forfeiture on withdrawal/non-agreement.
Contractor bears full liability for delay/quality comments, damage to nearby buildings, utilities shifting, temporary works and public safety.
About 15 days from download start to submission close for a specialised museum AV-curation package packaged as a works percentage tender with building-style PQ/plant.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
