Form No. 2 lists ITB clauses whose non-compliance causes summary rejection and must be sealed/signed by the bidder.
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.
Cover-2 Finance: original Offer Sheet Excel deleted and replaced by Corrected Offer Sheet; agencies must quote only on the corrected Excel.
IFB Para-2 eligibility advisory replaced: tender is limited/invitation-only to selected registered contractors; unsolicited offers liable to be ignored.
Limited tender (invitation only); quote on Corrected Offer Sheet; key commercial dates/amounts unchanged from original IFB/BDS.
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.
Original IFB/BIDDOCUMENT are headed “NATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDING” and invite eligibility via EQC, but Corrigendum 2 states this is a limited tender by invitation only; Corrigendum 2 prevails for participation.
IFB/NIT and BDS give GGM/Projects address as 5th floor, Z-Tower, while SCC Contract Data repeatedly states 6th floor for Employer’s Representative / communications.
SCC Part A Contract Data labels Contract Type as “Foundation, Substructure and earthwork in approaches (Bridge Contract)” though the tender is railway track maintenance.
SCC still provides for Additional Performance Security “in terms of ITB 35.5”, but ITB 35.5 is Deleted in the bid document.
Corrigendum 2 cites IFB Date: 23.07.2026, while IFB/BIDDOCUMENT/Tendernotice state Date: 29.07.2026.
Original OFFERSHEET.xls labelled Sch-E as weeds & bushes but printed drain-cleaning earthwork item text; Corrected Offer Sheet fixes the description — corrected file prevails.
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 IPRCL to confirm in writing whether the bidder is on the selected registered-contractor invitation list after Corrigendum 2, and the process if not listed.
Seek clarity on typical SECL→IPRCL fund cycle, historical payment lag, and whether any interim financing/interest applies when Client funds are delayed.
Confirm exact floor/room and acceptable receipt protocol for original Bid Security BG at Z-Tower, Bhubaneswar before 5-working-day deadline.
Ask whether unbalanced-bid Additional PG under SCC/ITB 35.5 will be applied given ITB 35.5 is Deleted.
Request geotechnical/site briefing on cutting stability, historical slips at Manikpur Silo Siding, and whether emergency landslide attendance quantities are reimbursable only as executed.
With only ~14 days between publication (29.07.2026) and bid deadline (12.08.2026), the 21-day pre-deadline clarification rule has already expired — ask whether queries will still be entertained and how answers will be published.
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.
IPRCL certifies/pays contractor bills only after receiving funds from Client SECL; payments also expressly subject to fund availability — major cash-flow and financing risk.
Delay damages = 1/25000 of Contract Price per day (or proportionate sectional price), capped at 5% of Contract Price.
Price adjustment (GCC 13.8) is Not applicable for the full three-year maintenance period — input-cost inflation risk sits fully with the contractor.
Works adjacent to/under running traffic with contractor-borne protection, temporary engineering signals, blocks subject to Railway convenience, and no claim for delay/inconvenience from traffic restrictions.
Failure to deploy key personnel attracts daily penalties (Rs 2500 / Rs 1000); demobilisation without approval also penalised; minimum 20 trackmen required at all times.
Scope includes slope maintenance on cuttings up to 45 m height in monsoon months and emergency landslide/derailment response — significant safety and productivity risk.
Multiple summary-rejection traps (affidavit, LTB/LPB, bid security/original BG, bid document upload, single % per schedule) combined with a short bid window and limited-tender filter.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Indian Port Rail & Ropeway Corporation Limited (IPRCL), under Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways.
Group General Manager (Projects), IPRCL Bhubaneswar — primary contact for clarifications, original Bid Security, and Notification of Award.
