120 days from the final bid-submission end date.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Estimated cost is ₹1,08,37,907.00 including GST; GST is applicable at 18% and input tax credit is available to SECL.
EMD is ₹1,35,500.00, payable online only through designated-bank net banking or NEFT/RTGS from a scheduled bank; funds must reach SECL before bid submission. The stated MSE exemption applies only to Services tenders, while this NIT is a Works tender, so no exemption is established here. No separate EMD instrument-validity period is specified.
Performance Security is 5% of the contract amount excluding GST, due within 21 days of LOA (possible case-by-case extension of 14 days). Forms: NEFT/RTGS, prescribed bank guarantee, or pledged Government securities/FDR/other stipulated deposit. A BG is applicable where Performance Security exceeds ₹5.0 lakh and must remain valid for one year or 90 days beyond the contract/extended period, whichever is more. Separately, 5% of work value excluding GST is retained from running bills; the security deposit bears no interest.
Running-account payments may be made monthly or at work-order intervals, against measured work and Engineer-in-Charge certification, after deductions including security. The case-specific term pays RA bills at 95%, with 5% retained. Final payment requires certified final measurements, all deductions and a no-claim certificate; no fixed payment-release period is stated.
Rates are quoted excluding GST; this is an item-rate, non-divisible contract with no price-variation/escalation. Because SECL has ITC, L1 ranking is based on rates excluding GST.
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.
During the last 7 years ending 31-07-2026, the bidder must have completed either three similar works each at least 40%, two each at least 50%, or one at least 80% of estimated cost. Similar work means carrying out tests of the tendered type or work identical in name and nature. Ongoing/incomplete work at the eligibility cut-off is excluded; completed-work values receive 7% annual updating.
Average annual financial turnover for the last three financial years ending 31 March of the previous financial year must be at least 30% of estimated cost. A missing year is treated as zero; turnover is updated by 7% for each completed year. Evidence must be a practising CA's UDIN-bearing certificate.
The bidder must be a NABL-accredited or Government-approved laboratory/agency in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for the Annexure-A tests and must submit the relevant approval/certificate, subject to confirmation that it can conduct those tests. NDT personnel are stated as preferably ASNT Level II/III certified, not as an absolute pass/fail condition.
Bidder must hold a valid PAN. Bidder must declare GST status and provide the corresponding GST registration certificate, or if unregistered a practising CA's UDIN certificate; turnover above the statutory threshold requires GST registration. Legal status must be evidenced as proprietorship/individual, partnership, or incorporated company.
For this sub-₹200 crore non-global procurement, only Class-I local suppliers (local content at least 50%) and Class-II local suppliers (at least 20% but below 50%) are eligible. At this estimated value below ₹10 crore, bidders self-certify local-content percentage and value-add location; Class-I bidders receive the stated purchase preference for this non-divisible work.
JV participation is not allowed because estimated cost is below ₹2 crore and the tender summary expressly marks JV as not allowed. Generic JV qualification and form text elsewhere therefore does not create eligibility for a JV.
A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the competent authority; registration must be valid at bid submission and acceptance. The bidder must accept the Annexure-XV undertaking and attach registration evidence where applicable.
A firm debarred by DoE/MoC/CIL/SECL before the bid deadline is ignored and cannot receive a contract. Bidders must disclose Government/PSU debarment in Annexure XV, abide by CIPP, and disclose any CIPP transgression in the last three years; false credentials/declarations expose the bidder to rejection and debarment.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
At Dipka Expansion Project, perform structural-stability testing and NDT of HEMM and pressurised air tanks, hydrostatic testing of pressurised air tanks, and safe-load/proof-load testing of mobile-crane and EOT-crane hooks.
NDT and hydrostatic testing covers 163 pressurised air vessels across listed HEMM and service-air-compressor tanks. Each tested tank must be painted/printed ‘TESTED ON DATE AND CERTIFIED FOR USE’. Techniques include magnetic particle, ultrasonic, ultrasonic thickness, dye/liquid penetrant, vibration analysis and visual inspection as applicable.
Structural stability/NDT covers 5 excavators (BE1800E: 2; BE1000: 3) plus the listed fleet: 2 WA800 loaders, 32 dumpers, 11 drills, 9 graders, 15 dozers/wheel dozers, 13 water sprinklers, 9 mobile cranes and 5 EOT cranes. Testing includes visual checks, ultrasonic and dye-penetrant examination, wall-thickness/load/stress checks for excavators, and vibration analysis.
Safe-load/proof-load testing covers hooks of 9 mobile cranes and 5 EOT cranes and comprises static, dynamic and stability tests.
Deliver 10 colour spiral-bound report copies. Reports/certificates must state stability audit, safety degree, defects/preventions, remedial measures and recommendations, and come from a NABL/Government-approved test house. Standards: NDT ISO 9712:2021; hydrostatic ISO 10802:2020; safe-load ISO 4310:2009; vibration ISO 18436-2:2014.
All work is at Dipka Expansion Project. Contract period is 365 days; each handed-over machine/job must be completed in all respects within 7 days. Commencement is the 10th day after LOA/work order or the 7th day after job-handover communication, whichever is later.
The 12-month warranty covers correctness/adequacy of inspection, testing, assessment and certification—not later physical deterioration, accident, overloading, misuse, unauthorised modification, poor maintenance, normal wear or abnormal conditions. Contractor bears manpower statutory compliance, safety, injury claims and required transport; spare/assembly movements for off-site repair route through Dipka regional stores.
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 online only at https://coalindiatenders.nic.in. Cover I contains technical/confirmatory documents; Cover II contains the completed item-rate BOQ. Offline bids are not accepted.
Portal registration must be in the bidder's name using a valid CCA-authorised DSC traceable to the CCA root. The DSC holder may be the bidder or a duly authorised person; the BOQ is digitally signed and uploaded.
Unconditionally accept the User Portal Agreement, Letter of Bid and genuineness undertaking through GTE. Annexure XV is uploaded on bidder letterhead; for a partnership it must be signed by all partners. No physical bid originals are required or permitted; only a post-award BG original, if BG is used, is sent by the issuing bank to SECL's Excavation Engineering Division.
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.
The tender-specific summary and Clause 7 prohibit JV because estimated cost is below ₹2 crore, but generic sections retain extensive JV qualification/document clauses. The tender-specific prohibition prevails: bid as a single eligible legal entity, not a JV.
The NIT says Additional Performance Security Deposit is ‘As Per Cl. No. 4.8 of GTC’, but GTC 4.8 only permits clarification/rejection of an abnormally low bid and states no APSD amount, formula, form or deadline. No APSD value can be safely priced; seek written clarification.
General GTC LD is 0.5% of the whole/revised contract amount per week, while the case-specific term applies 0.5% of order value to each individual job delayed beyond seven days and also allows security forfeiture/termination. For machine/job delay, the later and tender-specific Clause 4 on NIT page 32 should prevail; bidders should obtain confirmation of ‘order value’ allocation per job.
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 any APSD applies to an abnormally low bid and, if yes, issue the percentage/formula, acceptable instruments, submission deadline, validity and release terms; the cited GTC clause contains none of these.
Provide the machine-wise ‘order value’ used for 0.5% weekly LD and the planned handover sequence/maximum concurrent jobs. This materially affects staffing and pricing because every handed-over machine/job has only seven days within a 365-day call-off period.
Confirm whether the general six-month defect-liability release or the case-specific 12-month testing warranty controls release of Performance Security and retention, and whether security must stay live through the full 12 months.
Confirm that Clause 8(E), expressly labelled applicable to electrical works but left in the NIT, is not an eligibility requirement for this testing-services scope and that no electrical contractor licence upload is required.
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.
Each machine/job must finish within seven days of handover. Delay attracts 0.5% of order value per individual job per week, capped at 10%, with possible full/partial security forfeiture or termination; deficient quality keeps the job incomplete and LD running until acceptance.
Successful bidder funds 5% Performance Security plus 5% retention from every RA bill, both interest-free. RA payments are only ‘may be made’ monthly/at stipulated intervals after measurement/certification; no payment deadline is promised. Final payment requires all deductions and a no-claim certificate.
For 12 months after final-report submission/acceptance, any deficiency attributable to the contractor requires free reinspection, retesting and recertification; failure permits pro-rata deduction from running/final/security-deposit bills.
Contractor is responsible for men/material safety, PPE, legal/statutory manpower compliance and injury claims at site. Any required transport is also at contractor risk and cost.
Price variation is not applicable. Bidder must quote every item in the supplied BOQ without conditions or template changes, increasing exposure to wage/input inflation and uncertain call-off sequencing over 365 days.
Failure to commence can lead to EMD forfeiture, LOA rescission and minimum 12-month debarment. Failure to recover programme delay can lead to termination, LD and at least 12 months' future-tender debarment.
