Eligibility

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.

Similar-work experience

Successfully completed or substantially completed, in last seven years ending last day of month previous to tender invitation (checklist uses 30.06.2026), Civil Construction Works in single contract: 3 works each ≥ Rs. 7,07,37,024.4 OR 2 works each ≥ Rs. 8,84,21,280.5 OR 1 work ≥ Rs. 14,14,74,048.8 (all excluding taxes/GST).

Back-to-back/sub-contract experience allowed only with owner concurrence/tripartite approval, valid agreement/experience certificate, and TDS reflection of payments.
Non-govt/non-PSU experience requires TDS certificate(s) plus CA certificate of payments/TDS.
Note: W-NIT text sometimes appends the word 'Crore' after the rupee figures (e.g. 8,84,21,280.5Crore); the rupee figures match 50%/80% of estimated cost and checklist uses the same rupee amounts without treating them as crores.

Financial capacity — turnover, peak construction value and net worth

Average annualized turnover on construction works last 3 FYs ending 31.03.2025 ≥ Rs.6,26,02,266.59; continuous losses in last three years → summary rejection. Also minimum annual general construction value ≥ Rs.35,36,85,122.00 and Engineering (Civil) construction ≥ Rs.17,68,42,561.00 in any one of last five years ending 31.03.2025. Net worth ≥ Rs.2,65,26,384.15 (CA certified; not eroded by more than 30% in last three years ending 31.03.2025).

All financial documents without GST; CA-certified documents must carry UDIN or will not be entertained.
Form-B (turnover), Form-C (net worth), Form-D (annual construction value), Form-E (works in hand) required.
Works-in-hand Form-E is to be as on/after bid submission start date.

Consortium / JV and related-party bidding

Consortium/JV companies shall not be permitted. Related firms with common interest cannot bid as separate competitors.

Not more than one tender by a contractor/firm; father-son or close relations with business relationship / common partners/directors cannot tender separately.
Despite JV ban, EMD text still has a residual JV BG wording (name of consortium or partners in proportion) — see contradictions.

Debarment, blacklisting and poor performance

AAI may disallow agencies with below-par ongoing performance or restrain/temporary/permanent debarment/blacklist by any AAI department. False documents → EMD forfeiture and debarment up to two years plus contractual/legal action.

Undertaking regarding blacklisting/debarment on bidder letterhead required (Annexure V).

Registrations, Make in India and land-border rules

PAN, GST registration, Integrity Pact, Rule 144(xi) land-border declaration, and Make in India local-content certificate are required. MSE purchase preference for construction work is not extended. CPSU purchase preference as per GoI directives applicable.

DPIIT Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017 (OM dated 16.09.2020) applicable (Annexure 19).
Land-border registration/undertaking per MoF order F.No.6/18/2019-PPD dated 23/07/2020 and amendments (Annexure 18).
MSE concessions under PPP for MSEs Order 2012 apply to supply/services tenders and shall not be extended to construction work.

Scope of work

What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.

Work title and location

Item-rate civil works tender for providing new connecting road to crash gates, reconstruction of damaged perimeter road and cross-drainage works at Belagavi Airport (AAI).

Open e-tender, 2-bid / 2-envelope system on CPP portal.
Estimated cost Rs 17,68,42,561.00 excluding GST; completion 12 months including 60 monsoon/rain days.

Principal BOQ deliverables and quantities

Major measured works include earthwork, subgrade, GSB, WMM, DLC, CC paver blocks, kerb stones, NP3 RCC pipes, concrete, steel, RR masonry, stone pitching, SDAC and tack coat.

Indicative BOQ quantities (excl. GST rates to be quoted): earthwork excavation ~26,650 cum class of soil; filling/subgrade consolidation ~90,990 sqm; GSB 4,610 cum; WMM 10,760 cum; dry lean concrete sub-base 9,250 cum; 80 mm M-40 paver blocks 61,440 sqm; M-25 kerb 1,920 cum; NP3 pipes 480 m; CC 1:2:4 370 cum; dry stone pitching 4,000 sqm; pointing 4,270 sqm; SDAC 700 cum; tack coat 14,000 sqm; plus structural steel ~1,680 kg and RR masonry 120 cum.
BOQ is the pricing document; drawings/TS/particular specs govern execution.

Applicable standards and site constraints

Execute to AAI / MoRTH / CPWD Specification 2019 (Vol. I–II with correction slips), technical/particular specifications and manufacturer specs; work is largely inside operational airport area under BCAS/DGCA CAR constraints.

Security passes required for men/vehicles; statutory pass fees borne by contractor; no extra for operational-hour restrictions.
Site may be handed over in phases; restricted/non-operational-period working expected; nothing extra for these constraints.
Contractor must arrange materials, T&P, water, electricity, labour facilities unless otherwise provided.
Mandatory technical representatives: Project-in-charge (Civil Graduate, 10 yrs) x1; Field Engineers x2; QC Engineers x2; Surveyor x1 — non-deployment attracts monthly recoveries (Rs.50,000 / 20,000 / 25,000 / 10,000).
ASCC: maintain minimum 30 days reserve of various stores at site store-yard.

Required documents & submission

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.

Submission mode and portal

Bids only online on CPP portal https://etenders.gov.in/eprocure/app in two envelopes; hard-copy application not entertained (except original EMD BG/Surety Bond if EMD not paid online).

Envelope-I: tender fee proof, EMD (if not online), technical bid and pre-qualification documents.
Envelope-II: financial e-bid / digitally signed BOQ only.
Scan preferably 100 dpi B&W; upload only in specified portal location.
Do not tamper/modify downloaded price-bid template — modification leads to rejection, EMD forfeiture and ban risk.

Digital signature

Valid DSC is essential for online submission; Class II or Class III certificate with signing key usage from a CCA-recognized Certifying Authority.

Only one valid DSC should be registered per bidder; do not lend DSC to others.

Physical originals

If EMD not paid online, original Insurance Surety Bond/BG against EMD (envelope superscribed with name of work and Tender ID) must be submitted/sent to Senior Manager (Engg.-Civil), Bid Manager, Belagavi Airport, AAI, by 17.08.2026 up to 1800 hrs.

Also upload scanned BG/Surety Bond, SFMS confirmation to ICICI Bank, and related undertakings online in Envelope-I.

Signing / attestation rules

Financial documents (balance sheet/turnover, working capital/works-in-hand, net worth, TDS etc.) must be CA-certified with UDIN. Integrity Pact to be signed. Non-proprietary bidders need Authorization/PoA with incorporation proof and board resolution; proprietary firms need PoA only if signed by person other than proprietor.

Partnership tenders must be signed by each partner or by attorney with power of attorney uploaded in Envelope-I and firm registered under Indian Partnership Act, 1952.
Each page of Insurance Surety Bond for EMD to be signed/initialed; last page full signature of insurer authorized signatory with two witnesses.

Corrigendum analysis

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 on record

The tender folder contains only the NIT, main tender document and BOQ; no corrigendum or addendum files are present, so original published dates, amounts and conditions apply.

Final key values as published: publish 23.07.2026 1800 hrs; clarification end 03.08.2026 1500 hrs; bid submission end 13.08.2026 1800 hrs; original EMD instrument 17.08.2026 1800 hrs; Envelope-I opening 20.08.2026 11:00 hrs; Envelope-II opening 27.08.2026 15:00 hrs; estimated cost Rs 17,68,42,561.00 excl. GST; EMD Rs 53,05,277; tender fee Rs 3,540; completion 12 months incl. 60 rain days.

Contradictions

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.

Bid validity start point conflicts

Both texts say 90 days, but GGB counts from bid submission date while the internal NIT counts from financial-bid opening.

GGB para 20: ninety (90) days from the date of submission of Bids including extension, if any.
NIT clause 18: Ninety days (90 days) from the date of opening of financial bid.
Impact: EMD instrument validity and bid-withdrawal risk window differ materially (financial opening is 27.08.2026). Seek clarification; until clarified, bidders typically size instruments to cover the longer/more conservative reading plus required claim buffers (BG 6 months from bid receipt end; surety bond +30 days after bid-validity end).

Bid Manager identity / inviting officer mismatch

Cover page, W-NIT and Schedule F name SM (Engg.-Civil), Belagavi Airport (Ph 6303400616 / [email protected]) as Bid Manager, while GGB para 1 names Asst. Gen. Manager (Engg-Civil), RHQ/SR, Chennai as Bid Manager.

Physical EMD delivery address and critical communications should follow W-NIT/Schedule F Belagavi SM (Engg-C) unless corrigendum changes it; confirm via Seek Clarification.

Experience thresholds written with stray 'Crore' label

W-NIT qualifying criteria attach the word 'Crore' after rupee figures for the two-work and one-work thresholds in places, which would be nonsensical versus the estimated cost; checklist uses the same numeric rupee values without crore scaling.

Numeric values equal 40%/50%/80% of Rs 17,68,42,561.00, so they are rupee thresholds; the word 'Crore' appears to be a drafting error. Confirm via pre-bid query to avoid disqualification risk.

JV/consortium ban vs residual JV EMD wording

Para 10 forbids Consortium/JV, yet Envelope-I EMD text still says BG may be in the name of consortium firm or partners in JV share proportion.

Operative rule: JV/consortium not permitted. Residual JV BG sentence appears boilerplate and should not be read as allowing JV bids.

Officer inviting tender vs Office inviting tender in Schedule F

Schedule F lists Officer inviting tender as SM (Engg.-Civil), AAI, Belagavi Airport, but Definitions line states Office inviting tender as O/o DGM (Engg.-Civil), AAI, Belagavi Airport.

Likely administrative split (SM as bid manager under DGM office). Use SM Belagavi contacts for bid correspondence unless clarified.

Pre-bid queries

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 which 90-day bid-validity clock applies

Ask AAI to confirm whether bid validity is 90 days from bid submission end or from Envelope-II opening, and the corresponding required EMD BG/Surety Bond expiry and claim period.

Conflict between GGB para 20 and NIT clause 18; instrument sizing depends on answer.

Confirm similar-work monetary thresholds are in Rupees not Crores

Seek written confirmation that the 3/2/1 work experience cut-offs are Rs.7.07 Cr / Rs.8.84 Cr / Rs.14.15 Cr (approx.) excluding GST, not those figures expressed in crores.

W-NIT inserts 'Crore' after some rupee figures; checklist does not.

Operational working windows and phased possession

Request expected daily/night working windows airside, phased handover plan for perimeter road/crash-gate connectors, and any permanent no-go zones near runway/nav-aids that affect productivity and programme.

SCC states operational-area restrictions with no time extension or extra payment — critical to programme risk and pricing.

Bitumen / SDAC price risk and bulk supply assumptions

Confirm whether VG-30 bulk bitumen price variation is payable, assumed source (Govt refineries), and if AAI will facilitate airside hot-mix/plant logistics or only free land for site facilities subject to SD.

BOQ SDAC note fixes tendering assumption of 120 kg/m3 VG-30 and 2% hydrated lime filler — material price volatility is material on 700 cum SDAC plus large paving quantities.

Additional performance security triggers and evaluation of low bids

Ask for worked example of additional performance security slabs on this estimated cost and whether any bid below a stated % of estimated cost will be treated as non-responsive vs merely requiring extra security.

Failure to deposit additional PG within 30 days of intent cancels tender, forfeits EMD and can debar for 2 years.

Risks

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.

Airport operational restrictions with no time/cost relief

Works inside operational area under BCAS/DGCA rules; security passes, route controls and non-operational-hour working expected, with express bar on extension or extra payment for these restrictions.

Phased site handover to suit airport operations further compresses continuous work fronts.
Pass fees and related statutory costs are contractor’s.

Delay compensation (LD) up to 10%

For works > Rs.10 lac, compensation for delay is 0.5% of tendered value per week of delay (or lesser as decided), capped at maximum 10% of tendered value.

Clause 2A (incentive) is NOT applicable per Schedule F.
Withheld delay compensation above Rs.50 lac may be released against BG under Clause 2B.
12-month programme already includes only 60 rain days — monsoon and airside stoppages still sit largely with contractor risk.

High security stack and unbalanced-bid extra PG

Cash/BG lock-up is heavy: EMD ~Rs.53.05 lakh, then PG 5% plus SD 5% of contract value, plus possible additional performance security for low bids, plus optional mobilization-advance BG at 110%.

PG must be in place before Work Order; additional PG within 30 days of intent or award path collapses with EMD forfeiture and up to 2-year debarment.
Mobilization advance interest 8.75% simple p.a. if taken.

Payment hold points and GST/compliance indemnity

No RA bill until labour licence and EPFO/ESIC/BOCW registrations are obtained; GST non-compliance/input-credit blockage is bidder’s indemnity risk.

Rates exclude GST but include other taxes/royalties — royalty and statutory levies can erode margin if underestimated.
False documents trigger full EMD forfeiture and 2-year debarment even post-award.

Defect liability and key personnel recoveries

12-month defect liability after completion; failure to deploy mandated engineers/surveyor attracts steep monthly recoveries (up to Rs.50,000 for Project-in-charge alone).

Land allotted for site facilities requires Rs.500/sqm security deposit; failure to vacate after DLP attracts prevailing license fee + 25% penalty.

Deviation / quantity risk

Overall deviation including extra items allowed up to 30% of contract value; item-wise deviation limits 15% above foundation and 100% for foundation before rate refixation under Clauses 12.2/12.3.

Large earthwork/paving quantities can swing; contractor must price for possible under/over-runs within these bands.

Contacts

The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.

Inviting authority / Bid Manager (Belagavi)

Senior Manager (Engg-Civil), Airports Authority of India, Belagavi Airport, Belagavi – 591124; Mobile 6303400616; email [email protected]; invites on behalf of Chairman, AAI.

Physical originals of EMD BG/Insurance Surety Bond (if EMD not paid online) to be sent to this Bid Manager, envelope superscribed with name of work and Tender ID.
Schedule F also references O/o DGM (Engg.-Civil), AAI, Belagavi Airport as office inviting tender.
GGB boilerplate alternatively names AGM (Engg-Civil), RHQ/SR, Chennai-600016 as Bid Manager — treat as conflicting boilerplate; prefer Belagavi SM contacts in W-NIT/cover.
