Lumpsum service package for excavation/loading of pond ash from NTPC Lara ash dyke lagoons or fly ash from silos, covered transport to abandoned stone quarry/mine / low-lying area in 100-200 km range, spreading, compaction and soil cover.
Total ash transportation quantity is 10,00,000 MT in 12 months. BOQ covers transport AU(MT*KM) for 100-150 km and 150-200 km, excavation 8,00,000 MT, loading 8,00,000 MT, levelling/dressing/compaction 10,00,000 MT, earth cover 20,000 M3, stone pitching 2,000 M3 and filter media 4,000 M3.
Loading at NTPC Lara (ash dyke/HCSD silo/main fly ash silo). Unloading at abandoned quarry/mine/low-lying area identified/arranged by contractor in 100-200 km range. Consignee address: NTPC Lara, Village Chhapora, Tehsil Pussore, Distt Raigarh (CG) - 496440.
Spread ash in layers not exceeding 500 mm; compact to ≥95% Standard Proctor MDD; provide about 300-500 mm soil cover. In-situ density/moisture checks every 10,000 m2 per layer. After excavation inside dyke, maintain minimum slope 4H:1V and final levelling without intermediate bunds.
Contractor supplies all equipment, GPS-enabled tippers/hywas (no tractors), weighbridge at unloading end (or authorised third-party within 30 km), water tankers, wind barriers, sweepers, PPE and all statutory permissions. Closed/covered transport mandatory.
Complete LOA quantity in 12 months; minimum progress 75,000 MT/month (90% of average), reduced to 41,666 MT/month in monsoon mid-June to mid-October for penalty purposes. NTPC may short-close based on requirement.
Except ash, no free materials; no NTPC power/water; no extra for idle resources, lead/lift changes, fuel (except diesel PVC formula), demurrage, waterlogging dewatering, route liaisoning, royalty on borrowed earth, or environmental penalties caused by agency. Sub-letting not allowed.
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-packet online bid on GeM portal (https://gem.gov.in): Techno-Commercial Proposal and Price Proposal. ATC supersedes GeM GTC on conflict.
Only Bid Security (if not e-BG) is required in physical original in a separate sealed envelope to AGM/DGM (C&M), USSC CPG-1, Nava Raipur by bid deadline. BDS/ITB also provide limited windows for originals after online scan/bank-email route. Power of Attorney scanned online; Integrity Pact accepted via Attachment-15.

Checklist to be filled and uploaded under Additional ATC Documents.
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 is included in the tender document set. NIT only notes that any future corrigendum/date extension would be published on https://gem.gov.in.
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.
GeM states Bid Offer Validity 120 days from Bid End Date, while ITB 13.1 requires Four (4) months from Techno-commercial Bid opening. Bidders should keep validity covering both formulations and extend EMD 45 days beyond the longer period if asked.
NIT/ATC insist on NTPC-format Bank Guarantee only (GeM BG format rejected), while ITB lists e-BG/EFT/LC/BG/Insurance Surety Bond and GeM expressly accepts surety bond. Practical path: NTPC-format BG/ISB/e-BG as emphasised in ATC/NIT; do not use GeM standard BG format.
SOW Cl. 3(c) requires supporting disposal-site documents within 30 days of award, but Cl. 3(d) treats failure within 45 days as non-performance. Safer compliance date is 30 days.
SOW says LD as per GCC / GCC O&M; GCC 29.6.1 says LD as per SCC; SCC 17.0 says LD as per Section-VI Technical Specs. No standalone LD % for overall delay is printed in Section-VI beyond monthly shortfall penalty @5% of awarded transport rate. Seek clarification before pricing delay risk.
BDS says Pre-Bid Conference will not be held, while NIT leaves Pre-Bid Conference Date as 'Shall be intimated separately'. Treat BDS as the package-specific answer unless GeM later notifies a conference.
SOW Cl. 9 says 'Security Deposit: As applicable', while SCC/GeM quantify CPG/ePBG at 5% (2.5% for specified MSE categories). The quantified SCC/GeM figures apply for performance security.
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 NTPC to specify the operative LD rate/cap for delay (GCC O&M vs SCC vs Section-VI loop) and whether monthly shortfall penalty @5% is exclusive of or in addition to LD for delay.
Seek clarity on whether NTPC has already identified/approved any abandoned quarry/mine options in the 100-200 km band, minimum capacity expected in the bid-stage declaration, and whether award can survive if statutory NOCs slip beyond 30/45 days for reasons not solely attributable to bidder.
Confirm documentary proof expected from AST-01 enlisted vendors to demonstrate AATO/EC ≥ Rs. 42,74,63,650, and whether non-enlisted bidders have any residual path despite NIT language.
Confirm whether Insurance Surety Bond/e-BG/EFT are acceptable in addition to NTPC-format BG, and the exact physical-original deadline that will be enforced for this GeM bid.
Clarify how 50%-50% split interacts with destination-based 100-150/150-200 km bands, whether both awardees must independently arrange disposal sites, and the exact depot/base date that will be used for diesel PVC.
Ask whether compensation is payable if NTPC short-closes for its convenience, or if ash is unavailable due to dyke waterlogging/construction, given clauses that place idle/demurrage/non-availability risk on the agency.
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.
1,000,000 MT in 12 months with minimum 75,000 MT/month (41,666 MT in monsoon). Shortfall attracts 5% of awarded transport rate on deficient quantity from RA bills, unless full LOA quantity is completed in contract period.
Contractor alone must identify disposal site, secure tie-up/ownership and all NOCs/environment clearances. Failure within 30/45 days is contractor default. Environmental/RTO penalties and public nuisance control are contractor’s account.
Multiple fixed penalties: min Rs 20,000/truck for uncovered transport; Rs 50,000/instance unauthorised roadside unloading; Rs 40,000 wind-barrier non-compliance; Rs 5,000/day/tanker and other dust-control penalties; Rs 500/hr breakdown non-removal; double-quantity equivalent penalty for unloading outside designated place; supervisor shortfall Rs 1,000/person/shift.
No extra for idle resources, ash unavailability, demurrage, route restrictions, borrowed-earth royalty, approach-road repairs, weighbridge at unloading end, or digital trip systems. NTPC may short-close anytime. Overloading may be disallowed in RA bills and agency indemnifies NTPC.
Only minimum of two weighments is paid; 10% quantity retained till final bill. GPS/FASTag/photo evidence mandatory. Lead jointly certified—route choices give no extra payment.
5% CPG (or ICPG + recoveries), possible ALR additional SD equal to 50% of cumulative differential, Integrity Pact encashment risk, and Debarment Policy Rev-4 exposure for defaults/false declarations. Safety-linked amount is 2% of contract value.
From 06-08-2026 publication to 17-08-2026 bid end leaves a short window for site visit, disposal-site tie-up declaration, NTPC-format EMD BG/SFMS and full attachment set. Non-acceptable EMD format is outright rejection.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
