Available bid capacity = (A×N×2.5 − B) must exceed total bid value; updated as on the day before financial bid opening.
Must demonstrate owned/leased/rented key equipment listed in Appendix to ITB and deploy specified technical personnel with stated qualifications/experience; shortfalls or conditional deployment make the bid non-responsive.

Self-certification of Class-I (≥50% local content) or Class-II (≥20%) required with location(s) of local value addition; absence treats bidder as Non-local Supplier. For procurement > Rs. 10 crore, statutory auditor/cost auditor/practicing CA certificate of local content percentage is required.

Entities blacklisted/barred by Central/State Government, PSU, autonomous body or authority with bar still subsisting are ineligible; bidders may also be disqualified for false representations, poor performance/debarment history, or bid-document tampering.
Contract Data sets limit of subcontracting as NIL of initial contract price.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Special repair, ER work and road safety measures through Short Term Maintenance Contract (STMC) on NH-08 between old Ch.318+000 (Panitila) and old Ch.343+000 (East-Kanchanbari), total new length 21.940 km, Tripura, FY 2026-27, on percentage basis and work order basis.
Routine maintenance of all assets/facilities within ROW including carriageway, shoulders, median, bridges, culverts, drains, footpaths, road signage, plantation etc., plus other works specified in bid documents; execution on work-order basis.
Percentage BOQ with 28 measurable items totaling Rs. 72,03,48,555 covering pavement reconstruction/overlays, concrete pavement, drainage, protection, road safety and structures.
Intended Completion Date is 12 months from Start Date; Start Date within 15 days of Notice to proceed; Defects Liability Period 36 months (3 years) from Completion Date in Certificate of Completion.
Works per MoRT&H Specifications for Road and Bridge Works (Fifth Revision, April 2013), IRC/BIS codes, Section-7 Road Maintenance Standards, and BOQ-linked MoRT&H clauses; performance standards set pothole/crack/rutting limits and rectification times.
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.
E-bid only via CPPP https://eprocure.gov.in/eprocure/app in two parts (Technical Part-I and Financial Part-II BOQ); Technical Bid must also be submitted on BIMS portal within the deadline; portal registration must remain valid at least to BID submission.
Only the authorized signatory holding the Power of Attorney may be the Digital Signatory; if PoA holder and DSC user differ, the bid is non-responsive.
One sealed envelope superscribed “Documents in Physical Form” (also Name of Work, Bid Due Date and time, bidder name/address) delivered to Executive Director (Projects), RO Agartala by 29-09-2026 17:00 Hrs; physical documents prevail over online if there is discrepancy.
All bid documents in English; physical fee/security instruments and documents typed or written in ink and signed by duly authorized person on all pages.
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 folder contains only Tendernotice_1.pdf, RFP.pdf and BOQ_972306.xls; no corrigendum or addendum document is present, so original NIT/RFP/BOQ values apply as written (subject to internal conflicts noted under Contradictions).
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 cover calendar states last date for online submission as 26-09-2026, while NIT Clause 8 defines Bid Due Date as 29-09-2026 (17:00 Hrs) as on the e-portal; document availability and physical deadline also end 29-09-2026.
NIT Clause 9 first restricts Bid Security to RTGS/NEFT/Demand Draft only ('any other form will not be acceptable'), then cross-refers 'Bank Guarantee/ Demand Draft (See Clause 16 of Section-2)'; ITB Clause 16 allows DD/NEFT/RTGS/E-Bank Guarantee only and bars physical BG.
ITB 32.2 and the Section-4 Performance BG form require validity until 60 days after DLP/end of contract period; GCC 45.1 states validity until 28 days after DLP expiry (plus extra 3 months for verification/signing/start).
ITB 32.1 says E-Bank Guarantee/Physical BG shall be accepted per MoRTH circular 31.05.2023, while the same clause block later states 'No BG shall be accepted in the physical form' and points to NESL e-BG.
ITB 12.1 says Financial Bid comprises Bill of Quantities Bill no. 1 to 2; ITB 13.1 says Contract is based on Bill of Quantities Bill no. 1 to 3; the published file is a single Percentage BoQ sheet.
Within the Performance Security E-BG instructions (ITB 32), text states E-BGs 'shall be valid for 45 days beyond the validity of the bid' and cites Appendix N — wording that matches Bid Security, not post-award Performance Security (which is tied to DLP).
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 whether online Bid Due Date is 26-09-2026 (NIT cover calendar) or 29-09-2026 17:00 Hrs (NIT Clause 8 / e-portal), and publish a corrected calendar if needed.
Please confirm acceptable Bid Security instruments: NIT Clause 9 opens with RTGS/NEFT/DD only, while ITB 16 expressly allows E-Bank Guarantee and forbids physical BG.
Please reconcile PS validity (ITB/BG form 60 days after DLP vs GCC 28 days after DLP + 3 months) and whether physical BG is acceptable (ITB 32.1 vs later e-BG-only wording).
Contract Data sets subcontracting limit as NIL, yet land-border clauses discuss subcontracting to registered contractors — please confirm whether any subcontracting is permitted at all.
NIT says estimated cost is inclusive of GST but GST shall be reimbursed on actual CA-certified proof; ITB 13.3/GCC 41.1 require quoted rates inclusive of GST; BOQ rates are 'Incl. 18% GST'. Please clarify the exact GST payment/reimbursement mechanism and what bidders must load in the percentage quote.
GCC 34.1 bars claims for any reduction in measurable quantities due to budgetary constraints — please confirm expected minimum executable quantity/commitment and whether major BOQ items (DBM/BC/PQC/crash barrier etc.) may be substantially curtailed.
Please confirm that minimum average annual turnover is indeed 100% of estimated cost (Rs. 7203.49 Lakh), not a lower fraction, and which three FYs count as 'ending 31st March of the previous financial year' relative to a Sep 2026 bid.
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 at 0.1% of remaining value of contract works per day (min Rs. 10,000/day), capped at 10% of Initial Contract Price; delay reaching max LD is a fundamental breach enabling termination.
Quoted rates fixed for Contract duration; GCC expressly disallows price adjustment/escalation — input-cost (bitumen, cement, steel, fuel) risk sits fully with the Contractor over 12 months + 36-month DLP interface.
Employer may reduce measurable quantities to any extent for budgetary reasons without contractor claims; Engineer issues staged work orders — revenue and plant utilisation are not guaranteed at full BOQ value.
Cash/BG lock-up is heavy: Rs. 1.4407 Cr EMD through award, then 3% PS (more if bid is unbalanced) held through 36-month DLP (+ validity tail), plus 5% retention from each bill unless replaced by BG.
36-month DLP from Completion Date; uncorrected defects: Employer may recover assessed correction cost plus 20% damages; maintenance-standard non-compliance attracts Part-I damages/payment reduction.
Failure to deploy named technical personnel within 15 days of notice to proceed: Rs. 5,000/day/person for next 30 days, then fundamental breach; non-deployment within 45 days is also fundamental breach; delayed updated programme withholds 1% of corresponding work value; missing O&M manuals withholds Rs. 5 lakh.
On contractor fundamental breach, Employer recovers 20% of value of work not completed as additional cost and may forfeit Performance Security; broad fundamental-breach list includes insurance failure, lab setup delay, personnel delay, security deposit default, max LD, and labour-law breaches.
Contractor bears essentially all non-Employer risks of loss/damage/injury; must maintain joint-name insurances from Start Date through DLP for works, equipment, property, third party, auto, workers’ compensation and employer’s liability at Contract Data sums; full traffic-safety and PPE responsibility.
Class-I suppliers within 20% of L1 get purchase preference to match L1; bid capacity is re-checked as on the day before financial bid opening including works where bidder only emerged winner — late LOAs elsewhere can knock out an otherwise qualified bidder.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
