Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs 5618.33 Lakhs (at par market), i.e. Rs 56.1833 crore.
Rs 3,000 by DD/Banker's cheque from any scheduled bank, in favour of GE (AFA) HYDERABAD and payable at Hyderabad. A bidder who quoted in the previous call need not repay it on retendering.
Rs 15,00,000. MES-enlisted contractors are exempt in the tender-specific NIT; elsewhere the instructions condition exemption on execution of a Standing Security Bond. Upload the scanned instrument in Cover 1 and deliver the original to the Accepting Officer within 7 days after bid submission ends. No separate EMD validity period is stated.
Successful bidder must furnish 5% of the contract sum within 28 days of receipt of the acceptance letter, as a prescribed bank guarantee, Government securities/FDR/other stipulated Government instrument, or insurance surety bond. BG validity must run through the stipulated defects-liability expiry plus at least 60 days and be extended until final-bill payment if needed.
Eligible non-perishable manufactured fittings/fixtures brought to site may receive an advance up to full value at the GE's discretion against a scheduled-bank guarantee for otherwise recoverable retention. Quoted rates include all taxes, GST, labour cess, duties, royalties and levies; only post-bid changes in taxes directly related to contract value are adjusted under the stated evidence rules.
In addition to performance security, Rs 15,000 is retained without interest for the anti-termite guarantee; 0.5% of EPU flooring cost at contract price is retained from the final bill for its five-year guarantee.
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.
MES-enlisted bidder must be Class 'SS' in categories (a)(i) and a(iii), with satisfactory performance remarks for works in hand.
An unenlisted bidder must satisfy MES Class 'SS', categories (a)(i) and a(iii), including completed-work, turnover, solvency, working-capital and other MES Manual requirements. An unenlisted contractor that has secured two MES works must obtain appropriate MES registration before further participation.
Average annual turnover for the three financial years ending 31 Mar 2026 must be at least 30% of estimated cost: Rs 1685.50 Lakhs. Support with CA certificate, duly notarised balance sheets and Form 26AS.
During the seven years ending 31 Mar 2026, bidder must have successfully completed one rigid-pavement work of at least Rs 8.00 Crore, or be enlisted in category a(iii) Runway and Pavements. Qualifying pavement means runway pavement or a minimum six-lane National Highway/Expressway; only rigid pavement counts. Prior values are escalated 7.5% per year for comparison.
At bid submission bidder must control the listed minimum T&P through ownership or MoU: one 7.62 m electronic-sensor slip-form paver, one 7.5–25 t pneumatic roller, two 8–10 t tandem vibratory rollers, one 6.5–16 t loader-cum-excavator, one 350 Cft air compressor, and one 60 cum/hr computerized batching plant. Each plant also requires OEM fitness and calibration certificates, current OEM AMC, and OEM-certified operator.
Working capital must be at least Rs 250.00 Lakhs. Bank solvency must be up to Rs 11.24 Crore or financial soundness for engagement up to Rs 60.00 Crore. Each scheduled-bank certificate must be no older than six months on the bid-submission end date.
Qualifying runway work needs a satisfactory performance report. A firm is ineligible if banned for slow progress in WLR, subject to a Technical BOO for defective work, carrying adverse WLR remarks, or suspended/debarred/blacklisted by the listed public authorities on submission end date. Unenlisted bidders must affidavit no ban and no outstanding Government recoveries.
Every bidder must upload the prescribed exclusive MoU with a MES-approved original PEB manufacturer whose approval remains valid on bid date; omission causes summary rejection of the financial bid.
Foreign firms are ineligible. Indian firms with foreign directors require security clearance. Related firms with common proprietor/partner/director cannot receive the tender simultaneously; one contractor may submit only one bid. Subletting/execution through a third party or unrelated power-of-attorney holder is prohibited, subject to the stated family/employee/director/project-manager exception.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design-and-build/lump-sum works for provision of 'I' and 'O' level facilities and associated works at AFA Hyderabad, under drawings/specifications IAFW-2159 and GCC IAFW-2249. Schedule A has 22 parts covering buildings, site development/demolition, utilities, pavements/tarmac, drainage, HVAC, compressed air, lightning/fire systems, EOT crane, DG set, motorised hangar doors, high-pressure water mist suppression, fittings and credits.
Facilities include an 80 m x 62 m x 7.5 m I-Level hangar with annexes; 17 m x 10 m engine bay; tarmac extension; compass swing site; two 66.4 m x 16.15 m x 7 m Tarmac Maintenance Shelters; 20 m x 18 m x 6 m refueller parking shed; 5 m x 5 m x 3.5 m POL store; open shed; parking shed; static water tank; and G+1 training infrastructure at 6 Tetra School.
Total completion is 23 months: Phase I, 3 months for final design/vetted drawings and demolition; Phase II, 2 months from Phase I completion for approved benchmarks and levels; Phase III, 18 months from Phase II completion for Schedule A Parts I–XXII and the entire buildings/services project.
Provide automatic detection/alarm, manual call points, internal/external hydrants, at least 1,50,000 litre underground fire sump with 2 x 2850 LPM pumps plus 180 LPM jockey pump, and CFEES-designed high-pressure water mist suppression for hangar and engine bay. The 6 Tetra School needs an additional remote exit and a 10,000 litre exclusive fire terrace tank with 450 LPM pump.
Contractor must submit and obtain vetting/approval of designs, drawings, benchmarks and yardsticks; at completion submit hard-copy tracings and soft copies of as-built B/R and E/M site plans, architectural/structural drawings and internal water/electrical schematics. Completion certificate is withheld until the complete drawing set is received.
Work follows MES SSR 2009 Part I and SSR 2020 Part II with stated amendments, applicable IS/NBC standards and CFEES HPWMFSS document. Aircraft enter the hangar unfuelled; the tyre bay is daily-work only (about five tyres), and the engine bay is for servicing rather than fuel/lubricant storage.
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 only through www.defproc.gov.in in a two-cover structure: Cover 1 technical/eligibility PDFs and scanned instruments; Cover 2 the priced BOQ in the supplied XLS. Email, fax, hand or postal bids are not accepted.
Bid must use a valid DSC. The authorised digital signatory must be able to bind the bidder including arbitration. After acceptance, the lowest bidder signs/initials every page, alterations and drawings; the tender is dated and witnessed where provided.
The specific NIT requires original tender-fee DD and EMD instrument, as applicable, to reach the Accepting Officer within 7 days after bid submission ends (therefore by 24 Aug 2026 if counted as seven calendar days). The forwarding letter also directs unenlisted bidders to submit physical eligibility documents to CE(AF) Bangalore within the NIT limit; generic Instruction 3.8 says hard copies of all authority documents should arrive before the fixed time. Because these texts differ, bidders should deliver all required hard copies no later than 24 Aug 2026 and obtain acknowledgment.
All unenlisted-bidder documents are signed by proprietor/all partners/all directors unless an authorised partner/director acts under POA/board resolution; photocopies are self-attested; affidavits are on appropriate-value non-judicial stamp paper, signed and Magistrate/Notary attested.
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.
Only critical dates changed. Corrigendum 1 moved start/end/opening from 07/14/21 Jul to 17/24/31 Jul 2026; Corrigendum 2 moved them to 30 Jul/06 Aug/13 Aug; Corrigendum 3 finally moved them to 10/17/24 Aug 2026. Impact: bidders received 34 extra days for submission versus the original 14 Jul end date; use only the final dates and ensure fee/EMD originals meet the resulting physical deadline.
Bid submission starts 10 Aug 2026, ends 17 Aug 2026, and bids open 24 Aug 2026. All other tender entries remain unchanged; no corrigendum changes price, eligibility, scope, BOQ or contract conditions.
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.
Tender-specific Appendix A says Rs 15,00,000 by DD/Banker's cheque. General Instruction 1.1 instead lists deposit-at-call receipt or treasury challan and says cheque/BG will not be accepted. The tender-specific Appendix A is the more specific provision, so DD/Banker's cheque should prevail, but obtain written confirmation because rejection is automatic for an unacceptable instrument.
Appendix A note 7 permits original fee/EMD instruments within 7 days after submission end, while Instruction 1.1 says hard copy before BOQ opening and Instruction 3.8 says authority documents before the fixed time. The specific NIT seven-day rule prevails for fee/EMD instruments; with final submission on 17 Aug, that lands on 24 Aug 2026, the same calendar date as bid opening. Earlier delivery is prudent.
Schedule A makes Phase III the 18-month construction phase ending with completion of the entire buildings/services project, but Note 31 starts the 36-month defects-liability period from certified completion of Phase II—before Phase III starts. The tender explicitly states Phase II, so that text presently applies, but it is commercially and operationally inconsistent and requires corrigendum/clarification before pricing securities and warranties.
The forwarding letter retains three template alternatives ('single stage two cover / two stage two cover / three cover') without deleting inapplicable options. The operative NIT repeatedly specifies Cover 1 and Cover 2, so a two-cover submission prevails; the portal configuration should be checked before upload.
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 by written clarification that a scheduled/nationalised-bank DD or Banker's cheque for Rs 15,00,000 favouring GE (AFA) HYDERABAD is acceptable notwithstanding Instruction 1.1's deposit-at-call/treasury-only language and cheque prohibition.
Should the 36-month DLP run from Phase III/whole-work completion rather than Phase II completion? Please issue a corrigendum and confirm the corresponding performance-security expiry, because the current text starts DLP before the 18-month construction phase.
Provide area-wise handover dates, daily/weekly permitted work windows, planned flying restrictions and shutdown access for tarmac/TMS works. The tender allows incomplete handover and changing hours with no contractor claim while retaining fixed phase durations, which materially affects resources and price.
Confirm whether a JV/consortium may bid and, if so, issue rules for lead member, member count, joint liability and aggregation of class, rigid-pavement experience, turnover, solvency, working capital and T&P. The Integrity Pact expressly gives JV signing rules, but the eligibility clauses qualify only a contractor/firm and provide no aggregation method.
Confirm whether only original fee/EMD instruments or the entire unenlisted eligibility set must be physically submitted, and state the exact date/time and receiving desk. The seven-day NIT rule, forwarding letter and generic hard-copy instruction differ.
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.
AFA is restricted; security checks reduce usable hours, materials/transport normally enter or leave only 9 AM–5 PM, flying may alter work windows, and parts of the site may not be handed over. The contractor waives claims for disturbed time, so schedule/resource contingency is substantial.
By bidding, contractor accepts inadequacy/errors in tender information and ignorance of site/soil/utilities as no basis for compensation, damages, time extension, lost profit or termination. Complete surveys and utility/soil/access checks before bid.
Design documents due within 45 days attract Rs 5,000/day thereafter; failure by 90 days can cancel the contract and forfeit performance security. Benchmarks/initial levels due within 40 days attract Rs 2,000/day; failure by 60 days of Phase II has the same cancellation/forfeiture consequence. Approved Schedule A Part XVII price is frozen despite post-vetting corrections.
Most service/item parts are provisional and actual extent will be ordered later, while rates are deemed to include all materials, labour, testing, minor extras and construction details. MES-prepriced unit-rate accuracy is not guaranteed, increasing quantity/interface and margin risk.
Tender states a 36-month overall DLP from Phase II, plus 10-year anti-termite and waterproofing obligations and five-year EPU flooring liability, with separate non-interest-bearing retentions. Performance security must remain valid through DLP plus 60 days and potentially until final-bill payment.
Missing performance security within 28 days permits award cancellation and EMD forfeiture; cancellation under GCC Conditions 52–54 forfeits performance security in full. Withdrawal/revocation, upward revision or voluntary reduction by the lowest bidder after closing also triggers an EMD-equivalent penalty and exclusion from recall.
MES supplies no water; contractor must price construction water. Rates include taxes/duties/royalties and only narrowly defined contract-value tax changes are adjustable. Damage to existing pavement/structures must be restored at contractor cost, with CWE decision final.
