Prices are adjustable under G.O. Ms.No.227/MA&WS (MA3), dated 23.11.2009. The BOQ contains a separate “Add GST 18%” line; bid rates/prices are otherwise structured to identify taxes separately.
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.
Private entities, qualifying government-owned entities, or existing/intended JVs may bid. Maximum JV size is 3; members are jointly and severally liable and must nominate an authorised representative.
Every bidder/JV member must satisfy nationality, conflict-of-interest, KfW-financing and government-owned-entity tests. Participation in more than one bid as bidder/JV member disqualifies all affected bids.
Bidder, all JV members and proposed/engaged subcontractors must not be bankrupt, sanctioned/convicted for listed offences or sanctionable practice, subject to qualifying adverse termination, fiscally non-compliant, MDB-debarred/cross-debarred, or guilty of misrepresentation, subject only to the stated supporting-information exceptions.

At least 5 years’ construction-contract experience starting 1st January 2020-21. At least one similar contract, satisfactorily and substantially (80%+) completed between 1st January 2020-21 and 2024-25/submission deadline, of minimum INR 5354 Lakhs; aggregating smaller contracts is not accepted.

Proposed personnel and equipment are pass/fail. Seven named key staff are required (Project Manager, Construction Manager, Ecologist, Quality Control Engineer, Environmental Safeguard Officer, Social Safeguard Officer, Safety/Accident Prevention Officer) with the stated qualifications/experience; the 16-item minimum equipment schedule must be available by ownership, lease or rent.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Integrated development of identified Vaigai River stretches in Madurai, covering ecological restoration, civil/riverbank works, parks and public realm, utilities, lighting, surveillance, waste interception, testing, commissioning and handover.
Clear invasive vegetation over 8,05,000 m²; native riparian plantation of 62,757 m² North Bank and 30,733 m² South Bank; install 3 trash booms at ghats/canal confluences.
Includes 650 m³ CM1:5 brickwork, 585 Rm retaining wall, 168 m² partition walls, 45,125 m² park landscaping, 8,057 m² synthetic granite, 761 m² EPDM flooring, 17,028 m² M40 pavers and 80 play-equipment units.

24 months for construction plus 60 months Operation & Maintenance. Handover includes integrated testing, commissioning, as-built drawings, certificates, manuals and Employer-staff training.
Execute to drawings, BOQ, technical specifications, applicable Indian/statutory standards and approved ESMP; for ESHS discrepancies, the most stringent national/international requirement applies.
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 one bid online only at www.tntenders.gov.in by the deadline. Technical/qualification documents must contain no price reference; the protected BOQ is Cover-2.
Digitally sign all uploaded statements, documents and certificates using the DSC token. Upload clear, legible, non-password-protected scans of originals or specified self-attested copies; do not alter downloaded tender files except permitted fields.
The authorised signatory must sign/initial entries and amendments. A JV bid is signed by its authorised representative under POA; if not legally constituted, every proposed member signs.
The tender contains only a generic physical-originals rule and does not identify any specific document for mandatory physical delivery. If later stipulated, specified originals/copies must be double-covered and received before the bid deadline at the stated venue.
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 AI found nothing to report for this question.
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.
Contract Data sets a 365-day Defects Notification Period and outranks the Specifications. Volume 2 nevertheless prescribes 14 months for riverbanks, 24 months for interception/diversion, 6 months for desilting, 12 months for paving, and 24 months for fencing. Under GC 1.5, Particular Conditions Part A prevails, so 365 days should govern unless the Employer clarifies that subsystem periods are additional/specific obligations.
The personnel table describes an Ecologist with “8 years of experience,” while its numeric columns state 7 years total and 5 years similar experience. No hierarchy resolves two values in the same row; obtain a pre-bid ruling before nominating personnel.
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 whether the 365-day Contract Data period overrides all subsystem DLPs, and separately define the 60-month O&M scope, service levels, staffing, consumables/replacements and payment mechanism; the technical DLP section says no separate payment.
Clarify the malformed date wording “starting 1st January 2020-21” and confirm whether one contract of at least INR 5354 Lakhs completed/substantially completed in FY 2020-21 through FY 2024-25 is mandatory, and how a contract completed after FY 2024-25 but before bid submission is treated.
State the binding minimum for Ecologist: 8 years as written in the qualification description, or 7 years total/5 years similar in the table columns.
Given that no organised site visit is offered and the specifications deny claims for unforeseen ground, groundwater, river influence, flooding and access conditions, confirm the contractual baseline hydrology/geotechnical data, land/encumbrance handover status, working-space access and relief for materially different conditions.
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.
Delay damages are 0.1% of Contract Price per day, capped at 10% of final Contract Price, against a 24-month construction programme.
Contract Data imposes 60 months O&M, but the technical O&M section mainly describes DLP rectification, manuals and training and states no separate payment for DLP works. Pricing and lifecycle replacement exposure should be clarified.
The contractor is deemed to know ground, groundwater, river influence, seasonal flooding and access constraints, with no extra payment/time for unforeseen site conditions except where the Contract expressly allows. River works must address a 500-year ARI flood and HFL + 0.60 m.
No physical work may start in a Project Area until the PA-ESMP is submitted and approved. Level-3 ESHS non-compliance and specified safety/quality/environment failures are contractor-responsible suspension grounds.
Only IPCs of at least 5% of Contract Amount are certified, payment takes 30 days, 5% retention is deducted, and the optional advance bears 10% interest. This creates significant working-capital exposure.
Failure to deploy the seven prescribed key positions during construction attracts Rs. 1,00,000 per month.
Variations increasing the Accepted Contract Amount by more than 10% require Employer approval, and the contractor must obtain approval before executing BOQ quantities beyond those stated.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
