Tender uploaded/published on 29/06/2026 at 19:22; online bidding starts 07/07/2026.
No pre-bid conference is required; no separate clarification deadline is stated.
Online bids close on 21/07/2026 at 15:00 hrs (IST). Original/revised bids may be submitted only up to that time; manual offers are ignored.
If bid security is furnished as a manual/original bank guarantee, it must reach the nominated office by 18:00 hrs on 20/07/2026 (the day before online closing).
The supplied tender documents do not state a bid-opening date/time.
Offer validity is 60 days from the date fixed for closing of the tender.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Advertised/approximate cost is Rs. 1,51,80,519.30; tender document cost is Nil (Rs. 0.00).
Bid security is Rs. 3,03,600.00. It may be paid through the e-payment gateway or by BG from a scheduled commercial bank in Annexure-VIA; the BG must remain valid for 90 days beyond the 60-day bid validity (i.e. 150 days beyond closing). Startups recognized by DIPP are exempt; Labour Cooperative Societies deposit 50%.
Successful bidder must furnish PG within 21 days of LOA; extension up to 60 days attracts 12% p.a. penal interest after day 21. PG is 5% of original contract value, in permitted cash/BG/insurance surety or listed security forms, and is valid through stipulated completion plus 60 days. Failure by day 60 can terminate the contract and forfeit bid security/dues.
Latest ACS No.11 adds APG when the accepted bid is below advertised value. The incorporated table says Nil for 'Below 0-5% (inclusive)' and 5% for 'Below 5%', which overlaps and must be clarified before pricing.
Security Deposit is 5% of contract value. Bid security is retained/encashed as part SD unless replaced by eligible cash/TDR/BG; balance may be deposited or recovered at 6% from bills. An SD BG must remain valid through the maintenance period plus 60 days. Refund follows final payment, final supplementary agreement/no-claim certification, and maintenance certificate.
On-account payment is based on Engineer-certified executed quantities and remains subject to deductions and 6% SD retention until 5% contract value is secured. Final payment follows completion certification, final measurements and submission of detailed claims or a No Claim Certificate. Railway may withhold payment for GST non-compliance until ITC is verified.
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.
During the 7 years ending 31/05/2026, bidder must have successfully or substantially completed either 3 similar works each at least 30%, 2 each at least 40%, or 1 at least 60% of advertised value. 'Similar work' is any Civil Engineering Work.
Substantial completion means at least 90% payment of present contract value and no contractor-default termination proceeding; certificate must be issued within 60 days before invitation. Private-individual certificates are not accepted. Government certificates qualify; qualifying listed-company certificates require the work order, BOQ, CA-certified bill-wise receipts, all TDS certificates and final/last paid bill.
Minimum average annual contractual turnover is the lower of V/N and V, where V is advertised value in crore rupees and N is completion years; average is based on total contractual payments over the previous three financial years. Annexure-VIB and CA-certified audited balance sheets/certificate are mandatory; CA documents must carry verifiable UDIN.
JV and consortium bids are not allowed for this tender; bidder must participate as an eligible single legal entity.
Bidder must identify its legal form and submit attested constitution documents and PAN. The bid must be signed by a legally competent person; an agent/partner acting for the entity requires a stamped, notarized/Magistrate-authenticated POA unless authority is already in the deed/MOA/AOA/board resolution.
Bidder and applicable constituents must not be blacklisted/debarred by Railways or any Government of India ministry/department on bid submission. Annexure-V/V(A) also certifies truthfulness and compliance with the land-border bidder registration restriction; false/forged information triggers rejection/termination, security forfeiture and banning exposure.
A retired Railway gazetted officer (or entity containing one) who retired less than one year before bid must disclose retirement date and required permission. Bidder must also disclose qualifying family/partner/shareholder relationships with Railway gazetted employees.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Repair various Road Over Bridges across Jhansi Division under Dy.CE/Br/L/JHS, including PSC girders, bearings, pedestals, expansion joints, protection screens/railings and rainwater pipes; provide protective coatings, jacketing/grouting, epoxy painting/plaster, structural-steel painting, ladders and inspection platforms.
Schedule A includes 30 m3 PCC, 10 MT cement, 75 m of 40-mm expansion joints, 20,000 m2 epoxy polysulphate paint, 100 m PVC pipe, 50 MT ladders/inspection platforms/trolley refuges, 3,000 m2 surface preparation, 5,000 m2 each of zinc and aluminium paint systems, 400 nipples, 800 kg epoxy grout, 400 m2 epoxy mortar, 100 m2 polymer mortar and 5 MT replacement steel. Schedule B adds 100 m2 hard-drawn steel wire fabric.
Contract completion is 10 months including monsoon and harvest, measured from LOA. Because it is priority safety work, all material, labour and T&P resources must be mobilized within one month after LOA.
Work may be between running tracks with no machinery access and must avoid infringement with running trains. Structural steel/access work references IS:2062, IS:104, IS:2074, IRS:B1-2001/2008; expansion joints must follow latest MORTH/IRC specifications.
Contractor must maintain the completed work for one year from physical completion.
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 an e-tender on www.ireps.gov.in under a single-packet system. Manual offers are not allowed, except the conditional original physical BG process.
Qualifying support must be self-attested or digitally signed. Entity bids must be signed by a legally competent signatory; a POA must be duly stamped and notarized/Magistrate-authenticated where authority is not embedded in constitutional documents.
IREPS provides online Annexure-V submission; downloading and uploading a physically signed Annexure-V has been discontinued. Annexure-V(A), where applicable, remains a constituent/member certificate.
Only if using manual BG: deliver the stamped original in person to Sr. Clerk/Br, office of Dy.CE/Br/Line/JHS, by 18:00 on 20/07/2026; BG should be in favour of Sr. DFM/NCR Jhansi Railway.
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 supplied folder and ordered metadata contain no tender-specific corrigendum changing dates, quantities or amounts. The attached ACS No.1–11 are prospective amendments to GCC April 2022 and apply as incorporated contract conditions.
ACS No.1 replaced financial/JV eligibility and Annexures V/VI; revised extension/LD, work programme, extra-item rates and PVC provisions. Bidder action: use amended eligibility forms and price with the amended extension/PVC regime.
ACS No.2 revised BG submission language, Para 6.1 certificate obligations, Annexure-V and added Annexure-V(A). Bidder action: follow the amended Annexure-V/V(A) declarations and BG procedure.
ACS No.3 revised the tender-stage POA/authorization rules, JV authorized-member wording and Annexure-V consequences for false/incorrect declarations. Bidder action: ensure the digital signatory has properly evidenced authority.
ACS No.4 superseded Annexure-V items 8–9: forged/false contents can forfeit security, reject/terminate the bid/contract and lead to other action including banning up to two years. Bidder action: verify every declaration and credential.
ACS No.5 requires personal delivery of the original BG to the nominated official before the bid-closing date, excluding the last date. Tender-specific deadline is 20/07/2026 at 18:00. Bidder action: do not wait until online closing day.
ACS No.6 makes the contractor liable for lost/rejected Railway ITC, interest and penalties caused by contractor non-compliance and permits payment hold until compliance and ITC availability are verified. Bidder action: maintain flawless GST invoicing, filing and payment.
ACS No.7 revised the Tender Form (First Sheet), tying forfeiture to failure to furnish PG, execute documents within seven days of notice, or commence within fifteen days of order; it also records startup and labour-cooperative EMD treatment. Bidder action: calendar all post-LOA milestones.
ACS No.8 revised Annexure-XI termination notice to permit service through IR-WCMS/registered IREPS email and provides for rescission after an ineffective 48-hour notice, SD forfeiture, PG encashment and ex-parte measurement. Bidder action: monitor registered IREPS email and act immediately on notices.
ACS No.9 amended Clause 16(4) to permit Insurance Surety Bond as a PG form and added Annexure-XVII. Bidder action: if using surety, submit/extend it in the prescribed form through completion validity.
ACS No.10 revised Clause 64: arbitration demand window, general restriction of arbitration to disputes below Rs.10 crore, tribunal selection/qualification and cost rules. Bidder action: price dispute-resolution cost and preserve claim notices/timelines.
Railway Board clarified that ACS No.10 applies prospectively to arbitrator appointments made from 08/11/2024 regardless of contract date; older contracts may adopt it by mutual consent/supplementary agreement. For this 2026 tender, the revised arbitration provisions apply.
Latest ACS No.11 makes bid security 2% of estimated cost for all works, caps subcontracted works at 40% (contractor directly performs at least 60%), retains 5% PG and adds APG for below-value bids, lowers bid-capacity applicability threshold to tenders over Rs.10 crore, and expands prohibited-practice remedies. Bidder action: apply these latest terms; bid capacity is not triggered by this Rs.1.518 crore tender.
No date extension exists: closing remains 21/07/2026 15:00 IST; value Rs.1,51,80,519.30; EMD Rs.3,03,600; completion 10 months; offer validity 60 days; PG 5%; SD 5%; JV/consortium not allowed; ACS No.11 is the latest GCC amendment.
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.
NIT/IREPS identifies Tender No. Br-JHS-2026-07, while the special tender particulars print 'JHS/Br/L/2026-27/07'. Use Br-JHS-2026-07 for portal submission because it is the live NIT identifier; seek confirmation that the internal number refers to the same procurement.
Annexure-V and main ITT say banning up to two years for false/forged certificate contents, while tender-specific NIT compliance says up to five years. The tender-specific NIT condition is more onerous and should be treated as applicable exposure unless Railway clarifies.
Latest incorporated Clause 16(4)(h) lists 'Below 0-5% (inclusive): Nil' and 'Below 5%: 5%', which overlap at bids more than 5% below and do not define deeper discounts. ACS No.11 is latest and therefore governs, but the printed thresholds are internally ambiguous; no defensible value can be selected without written clarification.
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 the intended ACS No.11 additional-performance-security slabs, especially whether the second row means bids more than 5% below advertised cost and whether APG remains 5% for all deeper discounts.
State the numeric minimum average annual contractual turnover and how N is converted when the completion period is 10 months. The formula uses years but gives no fraction/rounding rule; this can determine pass/fail.
Issue the list of ROBs, chainages/road locations, access constraints and item quantities by ROB. Current scope gives division-wide aggregate quantities only; this materially affects mobilization, scaffolding, traffic management and pricing.
State expected traffic blocks, permissible working windows, approvals and whether block-related idle time is compensable. The tender says some repairs are between running tracks with no machinery access and that machinery in track area without block will not be entertained.
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.
Priority safety work requires full material/labour/T&P mobilization within one month and completion in 10 months including monsoon and harvest. Delay attributable to contractor attracts LD decided by Engineer at 0.05%–0.30% of contract value per week/part, capped at 5%, with possible SD appropriation and rescission.
Work can be between running tracks without machinery access and includes sanctioned traffic-block activity. Contractor bears safety planning, supervision, night/remote-site security and infringement avoidance; safety failures can stop work and expose the contractor to contractual remedies.
Contractor must provide a road vehicle with fuel/driver 24x7, site office for Railway/PMC, site laboratory, security, transport/access arrangements and various tools/equipment without extra payment. These costs must be embedded in rates.
PVC applies only where advertised value exceeds Rs.2 crore and completion exceeds 12 months; this tender satisfies neither. Railway-caused delay gives time extension but no damages/compensation, with same rates/terms continuing.
PG is 5%; SD is 5% with 6% bill deductions, and no interest is paid on bid security/SD. SD release waits for final payment, no-claim/final supplementary agreement and one-year maintenance certification. GST non-compliance can hold payments.
Failure to ensure curing attracts Rs.5,000 per incidence; repeated failure permits Railway to arrange curing at contractor cost plus 2% incidental and 12.5% supervision charges. Damaged fabricated components require rectification/replacement at contractor cost.
Contractor-recorded exaggerated/false measurements varying 5% or more from claimed gross bill trigger LD of 10% of claimed bill on first occurrence and 15% on subsequent occurrence, plus withdrawal of contractor measurement/provisional-payment facility. Final payment requires detailed claims or No Claim Certificate.
After a 48-hour notice, Railway may rescind, forfeit SD, encash PG and take ex-parte measurements. Arbitration is generally restricted to disputes below Rs.10 crore, and arbitration costs are borne by the respective parties.
