120 days from the Bid End Date, as stated in the structured GeM bid details. The uploaded tender instead says 120 days from opening; the direct GeM bid-detail value is used and the conflict is recorded under contradictions.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs. 1,35,28,700/- inclusive of GST (GeM: INR 13,528,700 inclusive of all taxes). It is stated to be for EMD/eligibility guidance and not a benchmark for quoted-price reasonableness.
Rs.2,29,300/-. Accepted forms include Insurance Surety Bond, Account Payee DD, FDR, Banker's Cheque, commercial-bank BG/e-BG, or acceptable online payment; the GeM bid also expressly permits a surety bond. For BG/e-BG, the tender-specific uploaded clause requires validity 30 days beyond bid validity (the generic GTC says 45 days; see contradictions).
Nil.
5% of contract value. Tender-specific requirement: furnish within 14 days of receipt of order; valid for 60 days beyond completion of all contractual obligations; accepted as Insurance Surety Bond, Account Payee DD, commercial-bank FDR/BG/e-BG, or acceptable online payment. Late submission attracts 10% per annum; failure may lead to forfeiture. The GeM bid displays an 11-month ePBG duration.
Monthly payment within 30 days after online bill submission/SDAC and after actual work is verified and certified by the Engineer-in-Charge. Payment is by e-payment, subject to TDS, and only for quantities measured at zero-moisture basis. Company weighbridge records govern; during breakdown, volumetric conversion is 1.65 t/m³ for mineral sand and 1.25 t/m³ for tails sand.
Quote firm, fixed, all-inclusive INR prices including GST, transport, loading/unloading and all contractual obligations. Financial evaluation is overall/total-value L1 and a price breakup is required.
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 experienced provider of excavation, loading and transportation, dredging, or refilling of sand/gravel/morum/boulders. During the seven years ending 31.08.2026, it must have completed either 3 similar contracts of at least Rs.54,11,480/- each, 2 of at least Rs.67,64,350/- each, or 1 of at least Rs.1,08,22,960/-. No MSE/startup relaxation applies.
Average annual turnover for the three consecutive financial years ending 31.03.2025 must be at least Rs.34,39,500/- (30% of estimated value excluding GST). If a year's financials are omitted, submitted turnover is still divided by three; entities less than three years old are assessed on completed financial years after incorporation.
Disclose every work in progress in the prescribed concurrent-commitments table. Disqualification applies if annualized concurrent commitments plus the annualized estimated value of this tender exceed 4 times the preceding three-year average annual turnover.
PQ-1, PQ-2 and PQ-3 must all qualify. Qualification documents must already be online at opening; only clarification of submitted proof is allowed, no resubmission, and omission makes the bid unresponsive and summarily rejected.
Bidder must not be under liquidation, court receivership or similar proceedings and must not be bankrupt; an undertaking must be uploaded.
MII compliance is mandatory; Class-I local suppliers receive preference, with an eligibility certificate required to claim it. MSE benefit/EMD-exemption claimants must upload valid Udyam/recognized registration evidence with the offer; delayed documents receive no benefit. Experience and turnover relaxation remains unavailable.
Collusive bids by related parties are liable to rejection. Corrupt, fraudulent, collusive or coercive conduct permits termination and a ban on future IREL business.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration/non-compliance permits immediate termination and legal action.
The basic scope cannot be sublet and the whole contract cannot be sublet; only allied/incidental jobs may be sublet with prior written consent, without relieving the contractor's responsibility. The tender states no consortium/JV eligibility route or qualification-sharing rule.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Prepare and fence the mining area; excavate to 7-8 m or more, collect/heap/stack, mechanically load and transport 25,000 tons of mineral sand on zero-moisture basis from Re.Sy.Nos. 433, 437 and 440, Ayanivelikulangara village, to IREL Chavara Plant.
Mechanically load and transport 30,000 tons of tails sand on zero-moisture basis from IREL Chavara Plant to the excavated pits, then simultaneously refill and level to original topography; daily loads must be levelled the same day.
Contractor provides adequate crawler excavators, loaders, tippers/trucks, fuel, operators, continuous dewatering pumps/pipes, lighting, fencing, water sprinkling and spill clearance. It must identify a suitable transport route, handle road widening/landowner liaison, clear obstructions, and settle local/union issues—including obtaining police-protection court orders—at its own risk and cost.
Minimum mineral-sand target is 200 tons/day and 5,000 tons/month; tails-sand target is 6,000 tons/month. The tender also says the 30,000-ton tails quantity is indicative with no guaranteed minimum, creating a pricing/penalty conflict recorded under contradictions.
Start within 7 days after EIC site-clearance intimation. Contract period is five months from commencement of mineral-sand/tails-sand transportation; time is of the essence.
Company QC moisture results are final and payment is normalized to zero moisture. Personnel must undergo vocational training under MVTR 1966, medical fitness and police verification; vehicles require registration, insurance, driving licence, PUC, pre-deployment fitness and GPS. Site safety includes IREL rules, safety orientation and PPE; rope-access/fall protection, if applicable, follows ISO 22846-1:2003 and ISO 22846-2:2012.
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 through the GeM portal as a Two Packet Bid. Upload all PQ proof before opening; the buyer may clarify only evidence already submitted, and the financial bid requires a price breakup.
GeM applies Aadhaar-based e-signing to documents; the GTC states that e-sign is at par with a digital signature. The filled IREL pages 4 and 25 must additionally be signed, seal-affixed and uploaded with the bid.
Upload scanned proof with the online bid. DD/Banker's Cheque hard copy must reach the Buyer within 5 days of Bid End date / Bid Opening date as worded in the bid; generic GTC says directly to Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening. Use the earlier/conservative deadline and obtain buyer confirmation. No other technical document may be mandated physically as a prequalification condition.
Successful bidder must communicate acceptance of the service contract within 15 days; failure permits forfeiture and termination. Performance-security DD hard copy is due within 15 days of award, but the tender-specific SD clause requires security itself within 14 days of order.
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.
Structured GeM details say 120 days from Bid End Date; uploaded clause 12.6 says 120 days from opening. Apply the structured GeM bid-detail basis (from 01-10-2026), because buyer-added terms contradicting bid-detail fields are invalid; seek confirmation before pricing validity-sensitive inputs.
Tender-specific clause 12.1.3 requires 30 days beyond bid validity, while GeM GTC requires 45 days. ATC supersedes GTC in conflict, so 30 days is the document-precedence result; commercially, use 45 days or obtain written confirmation to avoid rejection risk.
Tender clause 12.2.1 requires security within 14 days of order, while the GeM GTC and the DD-specific bid clause allow 15 days after award. Apply the stricter tender-specific 14-day deadline; for DD, deliver the original within that same period.
GCOC says 0.5% of contract value per week, capped at 10% of contract value; SCC says LD is 10% of the quoted rate for delayed completion without defining the unit/time basis. SCC prevails over GCOC, so clause 14.8 applies, but its calculation is materially ambiguous and needs written clarification.
Clause 14.3.3 says the 30,000-ton tails quantity is indicative and no minimum is guaranteed, yet clauses 14.3.4/14.7.4 require at least 6,000 tons monthly and penalize shortfall. No internal precedence resolves this. Until clarified, price assuming the monthly penalty can apply while IREL controls/does not guarantee available quantity.
Generic Annexure 1 says startup relaxation applies, but the structured GeM bid says no MSE or startup relaxation and tender clause 13.14 expressly denies both. The bid-specific denial prevails: no experience or turnover relaxation.
GeM bid clause says a lumpsum scope/value increase up to 25% needs service-provider consent, while SCC 14.5.5 reserves unilateral modification/addition/reduction including BOQ. The portal bid condition is the clearer restriction for increase; however, reductions remain broadly reserved and the unilateral SCC wording should be clarified.
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.
Confirm whether delayed completion attracts SCC 14.8 at 10% of which quoted rate/quantity and for what delay interval, or GCOC 6.22 at 0.5% of contract value per week capped at 10%; provide a worked example and confirm whether monthly shortfall penalties are additional to LD.
Confirm that no monthly/overall tails-sand penalty applies where IREL does not make sufficient tails sand, loading access, or daily instructions available; reconcile the no-minimum guarantee with the 6,000-ton monthly mandate and define how employer-caused shortfall is certified.
Confirm the maximum downward variation, whether every scope/value increase needs contractor consent, and how rates/time are adjusted for changes to excavation depth, route, fencing, dewatering, road widening or BOQ. SCC 14.5.5 is otherwise uncapped despite the GeM 25% consent clause.
Provide the excavation plan/levels, groundwater/dewatering and discharge data, haul-route distances/conditions, current access and landowner permissions, approved working hours, and status of local/union arrangements. Confirm which statutory/mining permissions IREL provides versus those the contractor must secure.
Confirm in writing whether EMD BG validity is 30 or 45 days beyond bid validity, whether bid validity runs from bid end or opening, and the exact calendar deadline/address for physical EMD originals given the wording 'within 5 days of Bid End date / Bid Opening date'.
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.
Exposure includes Rs.1,000/day for mobilization later than 7 days after site clearance; Rs.1,000/day per missing supervisor; 5% of quoted rate per ton of monthly mineral/tails shortfall; Rs.3,000 when IREL must level a daily tails load; plus ambiguous completion LD under SCC 14.8. Deductions can be made from bills/security.
IREL does not guarantee the indicated quantities, while resources and monthly targets must be maintained. Payment is only on zero-moisture quantity determined by IREL's QC lab, whose decision is final; wet tonnage therefore produces unpaid transport effort and can compound target risk.
Bidder is deemed to have inspected the site and cannot claim for unfamiliarity. Contractor bears dewatering, route selection, road widening/landowner liaison, local/union settlements and even court/police-protection costs, with no price adjustment for resulting employer-delay extensions unless expressly provided.
IREL reserves broad rights to modify/add/reduce scope and BOQ, cancel/terminate without reason, and terminate for convenience on 30 days' notice with payment limited to work completed. Default termination can delay otherwise-due payment for six months and permit recovery of completion costs/forfeiture.
5% performance security is due within 14 days; late delivery attracts 10% per annum and payments become due only after security verification under GeM GTC. Monthly invoices are paid within 30 days after certification, while IREL may deduct claims, LD, spill-cleaning and other costs from bills or security.
Contractor bears personnel training/medical/police-verification, vehicle compliance, PPE, public protection, accidents and property/third-party damage. Equipment breakdown requires immediate replacement. Failure to meet these obligations may trigger deductions, indemnity claims or termination.
Rates are firm/all-inclusive, with the bidder deemed satisfied on sufficiency and no extra compensation for tendering/site unfamiliarity. Successful bidder must accept the service contract within 15 days or risk EMD/security forfeiture and termination.
