All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
The NIT is dated 12-07-2026; bid documents are available for download from 14-07-2026 at 5.00 p.m.
No pre-bid meeting or clarification deadline is specified in the supplied tender documents; pre-qualification/technical-bid opening is expressly marked not applicable.
29-07-2026 up to 3.00 p.m. applies under the NIT. The schedule carries an inconsistent earlier date of 18-07-2026; bidders should use the NIT date and obtain portal confirmation.
Commercial bid opening is 29-07-2026 at 3.01 p.m. under the NIT; there is no separate technical opening.
90 days from the last date for receipt of tenders (the instructions also express this as not less than three months).
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Rs.8,45,711-40; percentage-rate bid for the whole work under a lump-sum form of contract.
Rs.21,200/- payable through the e-platform online-payment facility in favour of Executive Officer, TTD, Tirupati. The generic EMD clause says DDs, if furnished, remain valid three months from the tender notice; the security clause extends successful-bidder EMD validity to 28 days after the defects-liability period.
The coherent detailed EMD clause requires the successful bidder to pay balance EMD at 1.5% of ECV/TCV, whichever is higher, producing total EMD of 2.5%; however the general terms inconsistently state balance EMD at 2.5%. For bids more than 25% below ECV, additional security equals the tendered amount's shortfall from 75% of ECV, by DD on a nationalized/scheduled bank.
No separate tender-document or processing fee is stated: the processing-fee fields are blank. A non-refundable e-procurement transaction fee is system-generated at 0.03% of ECV plus 18% GST, payable online to APTS, Vijayawada.
Monthly statements are checked within 14 days. Intermediate certificates pay 92½% of certified work and retain 7½%; 5% is released on completion and 2½% after the defects-liability period and correction of defects. Final-account certification/payment is due within 56 days of a correct and complete account. No mobilization advance is available.
The NIT general terms and BOQ schedule say the quoted percentage/rates are exclusive of GST and GST is reimbursed on proof; bids above 5% excess over ECV are not permitted. Clause 84 contains contradictory inclusive/exclusive GST wording, so tax treatment requires written clarification before pricing.
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.
Bidder must be a registered Pendal Contractor or Class V Civil Contractor in TTD/Government and have experience executing similar works. No minimum number/value/period for similar works is stated.
Bidder must hold valid registration in the stated class/category, submit PAN, and have active Andhra Pradesh GST registration; if not already AP-GST registered, an affidavit undertaking registration before price-bid finalization/LOA/agreement is required.
Bidder may be disqualified/debarred/suspended/blacklisted for false or fabricated submissions, failure to enter agreement, abandonment, poor completion/progress, inordinate delay, adverse litigation/financial failure, or fake experience certificates.
Bidder must not be blacklisted, debarred or suspended by any government and must declare the same. Corrupt, fraudulent or collusive conduct causes rejection and can lead to indefinite or time-bound debarment.
Retired AP/India government officers cannot tender for two years without prior government permission; employment of such a person is also disqualifying. Bidder is ineligible in a division/circle where a near relative works at specified engineering/accounts ranks and must disclose government-employee relatives and personnel engaged.
Tenderer is directed to furnish availability of key/critical construction and quality-control equipment (Statement V), key administration/site/execution personnel (Statement VI), and government litigation during the last five years (Statement VII). The text lists one Graduate Engineer or two Diploma Holders, but that staffing line is followed by 'DELETED' and therefore is not treated as an operative minimum.
No turnover, net-worth, consortium or joint-venture qualification threshold/rule is stated in the supplied documents.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Provide scaffolding at Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple, Srinivasamangapuram for Annual Brahmotsavams 2027, including erection and removal for electrical illumination figures and road arches as directed.
Approximate quantities: 2,000 sq m scaffolding up to 10 m; 1,500 sq m up to 20 m; 50 sq m single-side road arches; 20 sq m double-side road arches; and 10 man-days of Man Mazdoor. Scaffolding includes necessary struts, ties and bracing.
Overall completion period is 12 months, but each festival installation must be erected at least two days before the Festival/Utsavam. Existing scaffolding may continue/reuse up to two months, paid at 25% below the stated rates.
TTD provides its lorry free for to-and-fro scaffolding transport for Tirumala electrical-cutout scaffolding, except Tirupati/Tiruchanoor; transport beyond 18 km is paid at 15% extra over Tirupati rates. Measurement is by scaffold front view; 10% extra applies for Tirumala four-mada streets.
Measurement follows relevant BIS Codes and AP Standard Specifications. The quoted percentage includes all work, labour, plant, tools, transport, safety, insurances, temporary works, protection, testing/quality control and site clearance needed for complete execution, subject to the tender's separate GST wording.
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 only online at www.eprocurement.gov.in; offline sealed-cover bids are not evaluated, and only online-uploaded documents are considered for technical evaluation.
Annexure-I labels the mandatory technical documents as Cover 'A'; the price bid is opened online at the scheduled time. The documents do not define any further physical-envelope structure.
Bidder must log in securely and authenticate the electronic bid with its digital certificate; unauthenticated bids are rejected. Every uploaded document must be signed, with bidder responsible for correctness/authenticity.
Only the successful bidder submits Gazetted-Officer-attested hard copies of uploaded documents and original EMD DD (excluding price offer), in person/courier/post to the Tender Inviting Authority before agreement within the stipulated time. Mismatch or non-submission can cause three-year e-procurement suspension and criminal action.
Successful bidder must sign the agreement within 15 days after receipt of acceptance communication; failure leads to cancellation, EMD forfeiture and blacklisting action.
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.
NIT sets download end 29-07-2026 at 1.00 p.m., submission 29-07-2026 at 3.00 p.m., and opening 29-07-2026 at 3.01 p.m.; Schedule 225.xls instead says 18-07-2026 at the same times. No corrigendum exists. The NIT dates should prevail as the formal invitation/current bid-process table, but portal confirmation is essential.
NIT repeatedly identifies Annual Brahmotsavams 2027, while Schedule 225.xls says 2026. The NIT/title value 2027 should prevail; the spreadsheet appears stale and needs confirmation because it affects execution scheduling.
General terms state balance EMD at 2.5% of ECV/TCV, while the detailed EMD clause states 1.5%. Since initial EMD Rs.21,200 is approximately 2.5% of ECV rather than 1%, neither generic formula aligns cleanly. The detailed EMD clause's 1.5% balance is the more specific text, but authority confirmation is required before award.
NIT table and upload procedure refer to an EMD DD and original DD submission, while general terms/checklist instruct e-platform online payment. The later/specific e-procurement instruction should govern bid-stage payment; obtain portal/authority confirmation whether DD is accepted or only relevant post-award if used.
General terms and the BOQ schedule say price/rates exclude GST and GST is reimbursed on proof. Clause 84 separately says BOQ rates and quoted percentage are inclusive of GST, then later says open-tender bidders quote excluding GST. The work-specific schedule and final open-tender sentence support excluding GST, but bidders need a written ruling to avoid double-counting or under-recovery.
Tenderer's printed certificate accepts a 24-month defects-liability period, but payment clause says retained sums and EMD are released after 12 months. For defect obligations/security validity, the explicit 24-month acceptance is more stringent and should be priced; release timing needs written confirmation.
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.
Please confirm that the operative portal dates are download end 29-07-2026 1.00 p.m., bid submission 29-07-2026 3.00 p.m., and opening 29-07-2026 3.01 p.m., notwithstanding Schedule 225.xls showing 18-07-2026.
Please confirm the work is for Annual Brahmotsavams 2027 (not 2026 as in the schedule) and provide the festival/Utsavam dates and site-wise deployment programme, because erection is due two days before commencement.
Please issue one unambiguous ruling whether bidders quote excluding GST with reimbursement on proof or inclusive of GST, and confirm invoice/reimbursement mechanics.
Please confirm whether Rs.21,200 must be paid only online or may be furnished by DD, and whether the balance EMD is 1.5% or 2.5% of ECV/TCV. Also confirm the exact expiry date/claim requirement for any security instrument.
Please reconcile the 24-month defects-liability acceptance with the 12-month EMD/retention release wording, and state the final defects period and release dates.
Please provide the prescribed Statements V, VI and VII referenced for equipment, personnel and litigation, and confirm whether they are mandatory for this Rs.8.46 lakh scaffolding work, because the forms are not printed in the supplied 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.
Delay attracts 0.1% of contract value per calendar day or part day, capped at 10% of contract value; acceleration required after notice earns no additional payment.
Installations must be complete two days before each Festival/Utsavam, yet no festival calendar or site-wise call-off programme is supplied. The 12-month framework may therefore involve short-notice mobilisation and repeated deployment.
TTD disclaims responsibility for theft and fire accidents. Bid pricing must include all insurances and safety/protection obligations, placing loss and site-security exposure on the contractor.
No mobilisation advance is paid; only 92½% of certified work is released at intermediate stage and 7½% is retained, with 2½% tied to the defects period. The inconsistent 12/24-month defects wording may prolong security lock-up.
Tender certificate waives price escalation. Schedule-A quantities are approximate and may be altered, omitted, deducted or added; full accepted rates are paid only after item completion, creating utilisation and inflation risk over 12 months.
TTD may terminate for convenience. On contractor-default termination, site materials, plant, equipment and temporary works are deemed TTD property; corrupt/fraudulent conduct is also a termination ground.
Failure to submit attested hard copies/original EMD DD before agreement, or mismatch with uploads, exposes the successful bidder to three-year portal suspension and possible criminal prosecution.
