• Payments as per Annexure-13; monthly invoice as per Annexure-14 with extensive supporting documentation (Clause 4.8).
• Payment of processing should be released on quantity of bi-products recovered after processing and their further disposal.
• Yearly escalation subject to inflation rates linked with WPI of the financial year; if WPI increase is negative, no escalation and no deduction; CMC/DMC speaking order on 1st April each year.
• ULB assures minimum monthly waste supply and compensates if supply falls below 80% of monthly ensured waste (compensation = compensable shortfall × 50% of agreement rate).
• Pre-bid requests to switch payment to MSW intake weight and to clarify release timelines were rejected — no change as per RFP.

Incentives and revenue from by-products

Contractor owns revenue from sale of compost, recyclables and RDF; limited PS interest incentive if penalties stay low.

• If cumulative penalties are less than 5% of 1-year project cost value for consecutive 2 years, interest accumulated during project period is given as incentive; otherwise no interest.
• If C&T agency fails to give 100% segregated waste after one year of C&T commencement, ULB must give 1% remuneration of the monthly invoice of the door-to-door agency.

Site lease rent

If ULB provides processing/disposal site, annual advance lease rental is INR 1/- per Sqm per annum payable by the contractor to the ULB.

• If site is arranged by contractor, lease rates may be mutually decided and payable by the ULB.

Single-entity bidder only; JV/consortium barred

Bidder must be a single entity; Joint Ventures/Consortia are not allowed.

• Eligible forms include natural person, company under Companies Act 1956/2013, society, trust, LLP, sole proprietorship, or combination under applicable law — but not as a bidding consortium.
• No bidder applying can be a member of another bidder.

Technical capacity – similar SWM experience

In last 7 years (ending day of month previous to tender invitation), successfully completed/ongoing* SWM projects meeting 80%/60%/40% quantity thresholds of one-year annual waste generation.

• One work equal to 80% of annual waste generation (MT) for one year of the ULB; OR two works each equal to 60%; OR three works each equal to 40%.
• For 600 TPD, one-year annual generation is 600 × 365 = 2,19,000 MT → thresholds approx. 1,75,200 / 1,31,400 / 87,600 MT respectively (derived from stated formula).
• Ongoing project means at least 95% of total quantity (MT) completed as on last date of bid submission and continuing satisfactorily.
• SWM works mean Processing of MSW / Remediation of MSW dumpsite / Bio-Mining / Waste to Energy / Waste to CBG.
• Evidence: satisfactory experience certificate (competent authority) + agreement copy; ULB must verify certificates before opening financial bid.

Financial capacity – net worth and turnover

Positive net worth at close of preceding FY; average annual turnover at least 30% of the project cost for one year over last 3 consecutive FYs.

• Exact turnover wording: 'Average Annual Financial Turnover should be atleast 30% of the project cost for one year during the immediate last Three (3) consecutive financial years at the close of the preceding financial year prior to the bid due date'.
• Pre-bid asked whether 30% is of 1-year cost or total project cost; reply: No Change. As per RFP.
• Bid must include audited annual reports for last 3 consecutive FYs and statutory auditor certificates specifying net worth and turnover (and methodology for net worth).

• Associate means control via >50% voting shares or power to direct management.

Blacklisting, debarment and past performance

Barred/blacklisted entities are ineligible; recent non-performance, expulsion or termination for breach also disqualifies.

• Bar by Central/State Government or entity controlled by it, subsisting on bid date (even if litigation pending), bars bid individually or as consortium member.
• In last three (3) years, bidder must not have failed to perform a contract (as evidenced by arbitral/judicial penalty/award), nor been expelled from any project/contract by a public entity, nor had any contract terminated by a public entity for breach.

• Bids not meeting eligibility/technical criteria are liable to summary rejection without assigning reasons.

What is being procured

Selection of an agency to process 600 TPD daily generated MSW at Village Partapgarh, Faridabad, for 2 years further extendable up to 2 years on a year-to-year basis.

• Primary scope: scientific processing and disposal of MSW as per SWM Rules 2016 & amendments/2026.
• Handle all MSW types including dry, wet, plastic, domestic hazardous, e-waste, sanitary waste and inerts.

Technology and processing obligations

Bidder may propose any suitable processing technology (MRF, WtE, composting, bio-methanation, incineration, plasma pyrolysis, pelletization, etc.) subject to SWM Rules and authority approval.

• Obligations include separation of biodegradable/non-biodegradable/recyclable content; scientific processing of biodegradable and combustible content; recovery of recyclables.
• RFP cap: not more than 10% of MSW received at processing facility disposed as inert in scientific landfill.
• Achieve 100% processing of waste as per SWM Rules.
• Machinery/infrastructure capacity at least 1.5 times daily generated solid waste.
• Maximize utilization so at least 90% of waste is utilized/reused (compost, recyclables, RDF).
• Segregation into as many categories as needed beyond organic/inorganic/recyclables/hazardous.

Location and site allocation

Processing site is at/near Partapgarh STP, Faridabad: land adjacent to existing sludge drying bed, 100 m × 150 m (15,000 sqm), geo-coordinates 28.20.146N, 77.16.39.74 E.

• Land allocated for establishment of MSW processing facility including shed, RCC platform, drain, weigh bridge, leachate collection and treatment facility.
• ULB hands over site with existing infrastructure on 'as is where is' basis; ULB to provide fencing/boundary wall along perimeter.
• Pre-bid: bidders must do their own site visit and due diligence on actual infrastructure/utilities.
• No existing machinery will be provided by MCF on lease (pre-bid clarification overriding blank RFP lease list).
• Lease rent if ULB provides site: INR 1 per sqm per annum.

SLF / rejects and pre-bid zero-inert ruling

RFP requires contractor to set up/operate SLF and limit rejects/inerts to max 10%; pre-bid replies state no SLF land will be provided and technology should have zero inert/residue.

• RFP Clause 4.1.1.4 / 4.4: develop SLF, transport/dispose residual inert to SLF, SLF with 25-year planning per CPCB/SWM Rules Schedule I; max 10% inert.
• Pre-bid (multiple queries): no land for SLF; proposed technology should be zero inert generation; any inert still generated is contractor's responsibility as MCF has no own SLF.
• This is a material scope/risk conflict — see contradictions.

Key contractor deliverables and compliance

Design, build, operate processing assets with IT monitoring, weighbridge, lab, leachate treatment, end-user agreements, and all statutory clearances.

• GPS on vehicles + SWM portal; CCTV at weighbridges and processing facilities; ICCC integration responsibility of contractor.
• Online electronic weighbridge with backup; calibrate yearly; private weighbridge if breakdown >24 hrs needs ULB approval.
• ETP/DTRO etc. for leachate; on-site QC lab and NABL testing (agency-borne).
• Formal RDF end-user agreement with CPCB/HSPCB-approved users before COD; recyclables recycler agreements; valid RDF disposal certificates with bills.

• C&D waste found during processing is contractor's disposal responsibility; domestic hazardous/sanitary waste to authorized facilities.
• Compost quality per Fertilizer Control Order 1985.
• Approvals: pre-bid states CTO for 300 TPD obtained from HSPCB; for enhanced quantity contractor must obtain CTE, CTO, CPCB authorization afresh at own cost.
• Environmental compensation penalties imposed on ULB due to non-compliance are recovered from contractor.

ULB obligations and waste assurance

ULB allocates land, facilitates project, verifies fractions, and assures minimum monthly waste supply with 80% compensation trigger.

• Pre-bid on legacy waste: at present no legacy waste accumulated at processing sites; however any kind of waste processed by the agency shall be paid as per approved rates.
• Electricity: agency must apply for temporary connection at own level; MCF facilitates documentation (pre-bid).

No formal corrigendum/addendum issued

No numbered corrigendum or addendum PDF is present in the tender folder; schedule and commercial terms remain as in the Revised RFP dated 10th June, 2025 with filled key dates of September 2026.

• Document set is Tendernotice_1.pdf (RFP), BOQ_627580.xls, and PrebidPartapgarh.pdf (pre-bid replies).

Pre-bid replies – site allocation clarified

MCF pre-bid replies allocate 15,000 sqm land adjacent to Partapgarh STP sludge drying bed (100 m × 150 m; geo-coordinates 28.20.146N, 77.16.39.74E) for the processing facility.

• Associated infrastructure such as shed, RCC platform, drain, weigh bridge, leachate collection and treatment facility is to be established by the successful agency.
• Bidders must undertake detailed site visit and own technical due diligence.
• Impact: fills blank site-details table in RFP; bidders should price civil works as largely greenfield on the allotted parcel.

Pre-bid replies – no SLF land; zero-inert expectation

MCF states no SLF land will be provided; technology should achieve zero inert/residue; any inert remains contractor's responsibility.

• Original RFP still requires SLF setup and max 10% inert disposal — pre-bid reply does not formally redline those clauses but materially changes site availability and technology expectation.
• Action: price residual disposal/zero-residue technology risk; do not assume MCF SLF land.

Pre-bid replies – no MCF machinery on lease

Notwithstanding Clause 4.2.4, MCF clarified no existing machinery shall be provided.

• Action: bid assuming contractor-supplied plant and vehicles only.

Pre-bid replies – statutory approvals

CTO for 300 TPD has been obtained from HSPCB; for enhanced 600 TPD quantity the contractor must obtain CTE, CTO and CPCB authorization afresh at its own level.

Pre-bid replies – electricity connection

Agency must apply for temporary electricity connection at its own level; MCF will facilitate necessary documentation.

Pre-bid replies – legacy waste

MCF states no legacy waste is currently accumulated at processing sites; any waste processed will be paid at approved rates.

Pre-bid replies – requests refused (no change)

Multiple commercial/eligibility change requests were rejected with 'No Change. As per RFP'.

• Including: input-based payment instead of fraction-output payment; longer concession (10–15 years); allowing JV; reducing performance security to 5%; GST clarification request answered as no change (RFP already says GST paid by ULB if applicable); turnover formula clarification refused; exclusion of certain penalties; extension of 120-day mobilization for employer delays.

Values that finally apply

Final operative position: RFP commercial terms stand, as supplemented by pre-bid site/SLF/machinery/approvals clarifications.

• Dates: release 15.09.2026 12:00 PM; pre-bid 21.09.2026 11:00 AM; bid due 25.09.2026 03:00 PM; technical opening 25.09.2026 05:00 PM; physical EMD proof & POA before 05:00 PM same day; bid validity 180 days.
• Cost: EPC/estimated project cost INR 20.46 Cr; EMD 2% of ECPT; RFP fee INR 25,000; processing fee INR 1,000; PS 10% of one-year contract/project amount as FD for 2+1 years.
• Scope site: 15,000 sqm at Partapgarh STP coordinates above; no MCF machinery; no SLF land; zero-inert technology expectation per pre-bid; 600 TPD processing; COD in 120 days.
• Payment remains on disposed recovered fractions, not intake tonnage.

SLF land and inert limit vs pre-bid zero-inert / no SLF land

RFP mandates contractor SLF development and allows up to 10% inert to SLF; pre-bid replies say no SLF land and require zero-residue technology, with any inert remaining contractor's responsibility.

• Both instruments are part of the tender set. Pre-bid replies are MCF's formal clarifications and should be read with the RFP; they do not delete penalty clauses for inert >10% or wrong-site disposal.
• Practical prevailing operational direction from MCF replies: do not expect MCF SLF land; assume residual disposal risk sits with contractor. RFP penalty/SLF drafting still remains on paper.

Physical bid submission vs no hard-copy technical/financial bid

Clause 2.1 says no physical hard copy of technical or financial bids; Clauses 2.8.1 and 7.1 require physical originals of specified enclosures (EMD proof and POA).

• Prevailing practical reading: submit technical/financial content online only; still deliver physical originals of EMD proof and POA by 25.09.2026 before 05:00 PM.

Clause 7.2 day-count word/number mismatches

Agreement milestones write 'within Ten (5) Days' for performance security and 'within Fifteen (10) Days' for agreement signing — words and numerals conflict.

• Also 'within Five (5) Days from Acceptance of Performance Security' is internally consistent, but the LOA outer cap is not.
• Documents do not resolve which figure prevails; seek written clarification from MCF before relying on either count.

Estimated cost figure on NIT table

NIT table on page 5 shows both '20.33' and '20.46 Cr.'; Clause 1.1.3 states Estimated Project Cost INR 20.46 Cr.

• Prevailing value used elsewhere and in project particulars: INR 20.46 Cr. The '20.33' appears to be stray/overlapping text on the NIT table.

GST / tax exclusivity wording: RFP vs BOQ

RFP financial parameter is exclusive of GST with GST paid by ULB if applicable; BOQ rate header says exclusive of all Taxes.

• Clause 3.3.4 is the clearer payment rule (GST by ULB). BOQ template language is broader ('all Taxes'). Pre-bid GST query received 'No Change. As per RFP'.

Consortium wording remnants despite JV ban

Clause 2.16.1.1 bans JV/consortium, yet other clauses still refer to consortium members.

• Examples: Clause 2.1 eligibility text references 'members of the consortium'; blacklisting clauses refer to 'member of a consortium'.
• Prevailing rule for bid structure: single entity only (2.16.1.1); consortium references are leftover template language.

Existing machinery lease clause vs pre-bid 'no machinery'

RFP Clause 4.2.4 requires takeover of existing ULB machinery on lease/rent; pre-bid states MCF will provide no such machinery.

• Prevailing for pricing: no MCF machinery (pre-bid clarification).

Payment on output fractions is commercially critical and was not changed

Bidders sought intake-based tipping fee; MCF retained payment on weight of recovered/disposed bi-products/fractions.

• Material bid/no-bid and pricing risk: moisture loss and incoming waste quality (controlled by C&T) reduce payable output tons.
• Still no stated invoice-to-payment release SLA after pre-bid.

No SLF land / zero-inert technology expectation

Critical scope change risk: MCF will not provide SLF land and expects zero-residue technology; residual inert is contractor's problem.

• Conflicts with RFP SLF construction obligations and 10% inert allowance/penalties — price residual disposal and technology accordingly.

Only 15,000 sqm processing land; full civil package on agency

Site is 100×150 m (15,000 sqm) at Partapgarh STP; agency to install shed, RCC platform, drain, weighbridge, leachate systems after own due diligence.

• For 600 TPD, bidders questioned adequacy vs CPHEEO-scale civil requirements; MCF did not commit pre-built capacities.

Short 2+2 year tenure vs high capex (not extended)

Request to extend concession to 10–15 years for bankability was rejected; contract remains 2 years extendable by up to 2 years.

• Combined with 10% one-year PS and output-based fee, amortisation risk is central to bid decision.

JV not allowed; PS not reduced

Requests to allow joint venture and to cut performance security from 10% to 5% were both rejected.

Approvals gap for 600 TPD vs existing 300 TPD CTO

Only 300 TPD CTO exists; contractor must freshly obtain CTE/CTO/CPCB authorization for enhanced quantity at own cost and within 120-day COD.

• Statutory-lead-time risk against hard 120-day mobilization/COD and linked penalties/termination.

Turnover base (1-year vs total project cost) left ambiguous

Pre-bid asked whether 30% turnover is of one-year cost or total project cost; MCF gave no clarifying change.

• Bidders must self-interpret Clause 3.2.2 wording; conservative reading uses the higher base if uncertain.

Output-based payment and documentation burden

Payable quantity is recovered/disposed fractions, not MSW received; heavy monthly documentary pack is a condition to payment.

• Moisture loss and poor incoming segregation directly cut revenue.
• Bill must be raised before 10th of next month or 0.5%/day penalty; if not submitted till 30th, 50% of that month's payment is penalized.
• Non-updating of SWM portal: 0.5% of billing amount per day.

Aggressive liquidated damages / operational penalties

Multiple high-impact penalties on inert, non-processing, fraction storage, GPS/CCTV, PPE, C&D, burning and delayed plant installation.

• Inert >10% at designated site: 1.5 × quoted bid variable × excess tonnes.
• Inert disposed other than designated SLF/site: 2 × quoted bid variable × tonnes.
• Unprocessed waste if not processed for 7 consecutive days (no plant maintenance/ULB default): 0.25 × bid variable × tonnes.
• Non-disposal of fractions within 10 days (Municipal Corporation): 0.25 × bid variable × tonnes.
• Plant not installed per approved action plan within 120 days: INR 10,000 per day delay; after further 30 days — termination, PS forfeiture, 2-year Haryana sanitation tender ban.
• Burning: INR 5,000/day/instance or NGT guidelines, whichever higher; CCTV down INR 1,000/day/camera; GPS down INR 1,000/day/vehicle; C&D improper disposal INR 10,000/instance; worker without uniform/PPE INR 500/day/worker.

120-day COD with full clearances and no SLF land

COD/machinery within 120 days of signing, while CTE/CTO/CPCB for 600 TPD must be obtained afresh and SLF land is unavailable.

• Clause 1.3 allows annulment for missing milestones or 30 consecutive days non-processing after COD.
• Environmental compensation imposed on ULB is recovered from contractor.
• Pre-bid refusal to extend mobilization for land/approval/utility delays.

High security retention and short contract tenure

10% of one-year project/contract amount locked as FD for about 3 years on a 2+2 year O&M-style contract with heavy capex.

• Interest on PS returned only if cumulative penalties <5% of 1-year project cost for consecutive 2 years.
• EMD 2% of ECPT is large absolute cash lock until PS is furnished.

One-sided verification, annulment and debarment powers

ULB may reject/terminate for misrepresentation, forfeit EMD/PS and debar for 2 years; experience certificates are mandatorily re-verified before financial opening.

• Bids once submitted cannot be modified or withdrawn.
• DNIT may be postponed or cancelled for administrative reasons with no claim.
• Conditional bids and deviations not entertained.

Waste quality/quantity and site constraints

ULB waste-assurance compensation is only 50% of agreement rate below 80% of monthly ensured quantity; site is 15,000 sqm with as-is handover and bidder-built utilities.

• Contractor must arrange electricity/backup and pay operating costs; RDF offtake agreements required before COD.
• Storage limits (10 days for Municipal Corporation) with penalties for non-disposal.
