Permanent EPF and ESI account numbers required, plus proof of remitting EPF and ESI for about 150 employees per month over the last 5 years.
Bidder must have managed about 20 tonnes of solid waste per day in any one local body for at least one year, with supporting certificate.
Drivers must hold light/heavy vehicle driving licence with 5 years' experience.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Outsourced manpower for solid waste management sanitation works, vehicle driving, drinking-water scheme works and street-light maintenance in Authoor Selection Grade Town Panchayat for 2026-27.
Wards 1 to 15: daily primary-vehicle door-to-door collection, segregation, transport to compost centres, compost-shed upkeep, street sweeping, drain cleaning, sanitary complex maintenance, plus water-supply and street-light related works.
Stated requirement: sanitation workers 30, water-supply works 2, drivers 3; preamble also states 34 persons overall.
Provide contract labour from work-order date to 31.03.2027 (or Government-permitted date) and supply PPE/equipment to sanitation workers.
Price schedule has four quote lines: SWM door-to-door per person/day, driver salary per person/day, water-supply maintenance salary per month, and admin/service charges per month.
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 tenders only via https://tntenders.gov.in; two-cover system.
Upload the unaltered BOQ template after filling bidder name and values only; modified/replaced BOQ risks rejection.
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.
No corrigendum/addendum document is present among the downloaded tender documents; dates and conditions above are as printed in Tendernotice_1.pdf and BOQ_838783.xls.
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.
Preamble says bids will be downloaded/examined on the submission day (01.09.2026) at 3.30 p.m., while the schedule table sets Technical Bid opening on 02.09.2026 at 3.30 p.m.
Headline manpower is 34 persons, but the category split totals 35 (30 sanitation + 2 water supply + 3 drivers).
Condition 9 freezes District Collector–approved basic wages and allows bids only for the approved amount, yet the BOQ still requires bidder-entered basic rates on wage lines and a separate service-charge line.
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.
Is the contract for 34 persons as in the preamble, or 35 as per 30+2+3 category break-up?
What are the exact approved basic wage amounts for sanitation workers, drivers and water-supply workers that bidders must not alter?
Should BOQ items 1–3 be entered exactly at Collector-approved wages with competition only on item 4 service charges, and is L1 decided solely on service charge?
Is technical opening on 01.09.2026 3.30 p.m. (preamble) or 02.09.2026 3.30 p.m. (schedule table)?
Confirm EMD refund timeline for unsuccessful bidders, forfeiture triggers, and whether any performance security/security deposit is required after award (not stated).
What additional conditions and details available only at the Town Panchayat office form part of the binding tender, and will they be published online?
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.
5-year SWM experience, three contracts in 5 years, ~150 workers' EPF/ESI history, and ~20 TPD management experience may exclude smaller local SHGs despite the invitation addressing them.
Wages are paid only for days workers attend; contractor bears absenteeism, leave and replacement cost risk.
Current-month contract amount is released only with previous-month ESI and EPF payment proof—cash-flow risk if statutory remittances or documentation slip.
Selected firm must supply masks, gloves, gumboots, uniform, raincoat and all equipment to sanitation workers—cost may sit inside thin service-charge margins.
Work runs only from work-order date to 31.03.2027 and award is to lowest service charge, pressuring mobilisation speed and margins.
Notice directs bidders to obtain additional conditions at the Town Panchayat office, creating risk of unknown binding terms not visible in the online pack.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
