Technical bid opening on 19.09.2026 at 1400 Hrs at NHAI Regional Office, Bengaluru; financial bids of responsive bidders opened later online.
Bids remain valid for 120 days after the deadline date for bid submission; shorter validity is non-responsive.

Monthly statements with measurements; Engineer checks within 7 days; Employer pays certified amounts within 7 days (GCC), while Implementation Manual states Engineer recommends within 14 days and Employer pays within 28 days — conflict noted under contradictions.
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.

What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
12-month Short Term Maintenance Contract (STMC)/O&M on Bengaluru–Hosur NH-44: elevated highway Silk Board to Electronic City (Km 8+765–18+750) and six-laning Electronic City to Attibele (Km 18+750–33+130), Karnataka — 2nd Call.
Scope includes mechanized/manual highway cleaning & drainage, bituminous/concrete pavement and structural repairs, road furniture & safety appurtenances, horticulture, LED lighting/electrical maintenance, and 24×7 route patrol/incident response.
BOQ totals Rs.11,42,30,693 across itemized maintenance/O&M quantities; BC/milling within 2 months of commencement; daily email reports by 11:00 AM and monthly MPRs/RA bills required.
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.
Single-stage two-part e-bid only on https://etenders.gov.in / NHAI e-tender portal; no other mode acceptable.
Original Power of Attorney to be supplied in physical envelope form, and original notarized Affidavit to be sent, in addition to online scans; no fixed physical delivery deadline is stated beyond online bid due date requirements.
Documents in English; Affidavit on stamp paper notarized; key personnel CVs signed in ink by candidate and authorized representative; undertakings not later than one month before bid due date.
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 downloaded tender set contains no corrigendum or addendum files; tender-metadata also lists an empty corrigenda array. Original NIT/RFP values therefore still apply, including unresolved internal conflicts.
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.
Three different end times are printed for the same Bid Due Date: NIT 1300 Hrs, ITB 12.2 1500 Hrs, and ITB 20.1 1100 Hrs.
Key Dates allow download from 04.09.2026 1700 Hrs, but NIT Clause 8 says bidders will be allowed to download from 18.09.2026 from 1500 Hrs.
Appendix to ITB requires minimum 1 Site Engineer-cum-Surveyor-cum-Incident & Road Property Manager, while Contract Data requires 2 for the same combined role.
GCC requires Engineer check in 7 days and Employer payment in 7 days of certificate; Section VIII requires Engineer recommend in 14 days and Employer pay in 28 days of delivery to Employer.
Amount put to tender is excluding GST, while GCC 42.1 still speaks of rates inclusive of taxes except service tax reimbursement — outdated tax language vs GST-excluded estimate.
Qualification requires documents under scope clauses 6.16–6.20, but Section VI ends those clause numbers as deleted/absent after 6.15 Deleted.
Scope requires vacuum sweepers with min. 36,000 m²/hr capacity; equipment appendix specifies truck-mounted vacuum type with 10 m³ hopper and 17,500 m³/hr suction capacity — different metrics, not directly reconcilable.
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.
Which cut-off prevails — 1100 Hrs (ITB 20.1), 1300 Hrs (NIT Key Dates), or 1500 Hrs (ITB 12.2)?
Ask Employer to delete the cross-reference or restate the intended qualifying criteria/documents so bids are not rejected for missing non-existent clauses.
Clarify whether proposing one Site Engineer (Appendix) is responsive, or Contract Data’s two persons must be costed and CV’d at bid stage.
Confirm whether the single % is on GST-exclusive estimate and whether GST is paid extra / reimbursed, given GCC still refers to service tax reimbursement.
Where and by when must original PoA envelope and original Affidavit reach RO Bengaluru, and is non-receipt before opening fatal if scans were uploaded?
Reconcile 36,000 m²/hr area capacity vs 17,500 m³/hr suction spec; and confirm whether APS PCI/IRI penalties meaningfully apply to a 12-month STMC with mixed cleaning/incident items.
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 for delay on identified indented work is 0.1% of indented value per day (min Rs.10,000/day), capped at 10% of Initial Contract Price; failing 75% of indented value in any 3 indents is fundamental breach.
Stack of 10% Performance Security + 5% retention + possible large APS for bids >15% below estimate ties up substantial capital for ~12 months work + 1 year DLP.
Employer may terminate for convenience; may foreclose with three months’ notice for future development; compensation 10% of balance work only if foreclosed within 18 months from start — none after 18 months.
24×7 patrol/crane obligations, daily 11:00 AM reporting, NCR payment blocks, and working-capital 25% cash undertaking create high OPEX and cash-cycle pressure on a dense Bengaluru elevated + six-lane corridor.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
National Highways Authority of India, Regional Office Bengaluru (RO-Bengaluru) invites and administers the bid; Employer named as Regional Officer, NHAI.
