Average annual turnover ending 31 Mar 2025 (FY 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25): ₹5,38,902.07 non-MSE / ₹4,04,176.55 MSE; CA-certified audited reports or turnover certificates with UDIN.

NIT gives MSEs 25% relaxation in prior experience/turnover (value/quantity based PQC) and Start-ups 25% turnover & past-experience relaxation plus EMD exemption with DIPP/DPIIT startup docs; GeM enables MSE purchase preference (L1+15%) and MII compliance, but GeM bid header sets MSE/Startup experience-turnover relaxation flags to No.
Bidder must declare not on Holiday/Black/Debarment list of RCF or Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers; offer liable to rejection if listed. Debarred firms' bids ignored.

Contract may be split 60:40 between two techno-commercially qualified parties (L1 gets 60%; L2 gets 40% on matching L1; else cascade L3…H1; if none match, only 60% to L1). Max 2 bidders for split on GeM.
No separate JV bidding structure or equity caps prescribed for this tender; land-border definition covers consortium/JV members, and Integrity Pact requires all JV partners to sign if JV participates.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Biennial rate contract for replacement of various sizes of IBR-approved pipes, pipe fittings & HP Gate/Globe isolation valves (startup vent, MSSV, rack valves, PRDS control/safety valves, hydra-step of steam drums) of Boilers in Steam Generation Plant, RCF Trombay Unit, Chembur, Mumbai-400074.
BHEL boilers 170 T/hr; HP/MP/LP headers & lines Ø1/2"–14", Sch.40–160, MOC A106 Gr.B & SA335 P22, ground to 35 m elevation, all under IBR; work mainly during annual inspection, also breakdown/modification/total SD anytime.
Four packages: (I) headers/pipes/fittings by inch-dia classes; (II) HP valve replacement (excl. welding); (III) radiography & stress relieving; (IV) MS structure fabrication/erection 3 MT — quantities for estimation only under value-based contract.
Full IBR liaison (permission, drawings, inspections, RT/SR reports, hydro if applicable, final certificate), WPS approval, grinding-only cutting, ASME B16.5 bevels, specified TIG filler (Oerlikon-Fon/Sandvik), DP of root, RT + SR, IBR-quality welders, continuous competent supervisors, house-keeping.

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.
Online only through GeM (https://gem.gov.in); only GeM offers considered. Two Packet Bid — price only in financial bid; upload price breakup Excel on GeM.
All listed PQ/tech/commercial documents must be submitted at first instance with original bids; documents signed and stamped; blank confirmation boxes in Annexure-III treated as Agreed; non-acceptance of standard terms leads to rejection.
No separate physical-original submission deadline is prescribed beyond online GeM upload; GeM disclaimer notes mandating physical form documents (other than EMD and signed Integrity Pact within 5 days of bid opening) as pre-qualification is not allowed as a GeM practice. No Class of digital signature is separately specified in the NIT beyond GeM portal requirements.
Time allowed for Technical Clarifications during technical evaluation: 4 Days (GeM).
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.
TenderKart metadata lists zero corrigenda; document set contains only the GeM bid, identical NIT/ATC PDFs, price breakup Excel and GeM GTC — no amendment notices changing dates, amounts or conditions.
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 bid header sets MSE and Startup relaxation for years of experience and turnover to 'No', while NIT Annexure-IV / IV-A expressly grant 25% MSE and Start-up relaxations on turnover and value-based experience (and Start-up EMD exemption).
GeM bid ePBG Detail shows Required = No, while NIT Annexure-III mandates 5% SD/PBG of basic contract value within 14 days of WO (BG 38 months or RTGS/NEFT / bill deduction).
GeM states 90 days validity from Bid End Date; NIT Annexure-III requires validity at least 90 days from technical bid opening.
GeM Payment Timelines: within 30 days of SDAC and online bills; NIT: 100% on 30th day from invoice submission to Contract Cell with documents (MSE via TReDS).
NIT primary path is RCF EMD Gateway (ICICI) with alternate SBI account transfer; GeM additionally states EMD may be accepted as surety bond and names Advisory Bank ICICI / beneficiary DGM(F).
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 buyer to confirm whether GeM header 'MSE/Startup Relaxation = No' overrides NIT 25% experience/turnover relaxations and Start-up EMD exemption, or whether Annexure-IV/IV-A still apply.
Confirm post-award security: must successful bidder still furnish 5% SD/PBG (38-month BG or bill recovery) when GeM shows ePBG not required?
Clarify concurrent application of 60:40 quantity split with MSE matching within L1+15% and MII preference — resulting share to L1/MSE/L2.
Confirm whether any minimum quantum or mobilization fee is payable if plant calls little or no work during the 2-year WO, given explicit 'no guarantee' of lump-sum execution.
Confirm exact Boiler Directorate certificate title/class accepted as 'Special Class' for ≥125 kg/cm2 and whether joint-venture use of a partner's IBR recognition is allowed (NIT is silent on JV capacity sharing).
Confirm which document starts the 30-day payment period and how GeM SDAC interacts with NIT requirement to submit bills to Contract Cell with IBR/return documents.
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.
LD 0.5% of contract value of delayed works per week (or day/hour) up to 5% total contract value (10% of executed value for inordinate delay >25% of completion period); separate mobilization failure penalty 0.5%/week of total WO value up to 5% if team not mobilized within 1 day.
Rate contract with estimated quantities only; payment solely for actual certified work within financial limit; small jobs may be called at different times over 2 years — idle capacity risk on contractor.
1-day mobilization; round-the-clock including Sundays/holidays; RT/SR immediately after welding; failed RT/DP rework at contractor cost; continuous supervisor mandatory or work stopped.
All IBR permissions, drawings, inspections, transport of IBR authority, statutory/IBR charges paid by contractor and deemed included in rates — no extra payment; RCF not involved in those activities.
5% SD/PBG with 38-month BG validity (or progressive recovery from bills) released only after all contractual and warranty obligations — long cash lock relative to uncertain job volume.
Extensive HSE penalty schedule; PVC mandatory for every worker (passport not accepted); pre-employment Form 6 medicals; late bill penalty Rs.100/week max 5% invoice; non-compliance can hit running bills/SD.
Deviation/non-acceptance of RCF standard terms leads to rejection without clarification; blank checklist boxes deemed Agreed; contract may be split so L1 may receive only 60% if L2 matches; reverse auction after price opening.
No EMD (unless valid MSE/Start-up exemption) = summary rejection; EMD forfeitable on withdrawal/non-execution; any price in technical packet = non-responsive; GeM auto-extension may shift deadlines if <3 bids.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
