All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
NIT published on 10.08.2026 at 17:00 hrs.
20.08.2026 at 12:00 hrs at MPRRDA Head Office, Bhopal. No separate written-clarification deadline is stated.
10.09.2026 at 17:00 hrs.
11.09.2026 at 11:00 hrs; financial-bid opening will be notified after technical evaluation.
120 days from the bid closing date, with proposed professional staff kept available during that period.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No estimated consultancy value is disclosed; the BOQ carries an estimated rate and total of 0, so bidders must not treat INR 0 as an estimated contract value.
INR 5,900 per package, inclusive of GST, payable online with portal service charges.
INR 72,000 for PMGSY-IV/2. It is paid online with the document cost and service charges through debit/credit card, internet banking, or system-generated challan for NEFT/RTGS. No separate EMD instrument-validity period is stated; unsuccessful bidders are refunded online within 28 days after offer validity ends.
5% of the estimated consultancy fee, by demand draft, TDR of a scheduled commercial bank other than a cooperative bank, or scheduled-commercial-bank guarantee valid for 15 months; released on job completion.
Milestones are 10% on acceptance of work programme against equal BG, 30% on preliminary report, 40% on final draft report, and 20% on acceptance of final report against BG. The final 20% is released only against an accuracy BG equal to 20% of total consultancy fee, valid 24 months from final DPR and extendable until road construction is complete.
Quoted rates include all sales taxes, levies, royalties, cess, toll and government/local-body taxes except GST. Applicable GST is paid separately; bidder must be GST-registered and quote GSTIN. Payments are in INR by cheque and bank commission is borne by the consultant.
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.
The consultant must have successfully completed road DPRs totaling at least 200 km in any one year during the last seven years. Only past-experience certificates from Government Departments/Undertakings or PSUs are considered, and the client certificate must show satisfactory completion within the stipulated/extended time.
DPR experience for 2/4/6-lane National Highways is converted to equivalent aggregate length using factors of 1.5, 3 and 4 respectively.
For this 357.65 km package, minimum annual receipts of INR 50.00 lakh from Road & Bridge DPR consultancy fee are required in each of any three years among the last seven. Accounts/evidence cover FY 2018-19 through 2024-25. Award is also limited by bid capacity P-Q, where P is the maximum annual consultancy fee received in the last seven years and Q is consultancy fee still receivable on ongoing commitments at bid submission.
Proprietorships, partnerships and limited companies/corporations are contemplated. The bid must establish constitution/legal status and registration/principal place of business, and include PAN, EPF, GSTIN and written power of attorney where the signatory is an authorised partner/company representative.
After award, approval/deployment is required for a Team Leader, Pavement Engineer-cum-Road Safety Expert, Material Engineer, Environment Expert and Social Expert. The Team Leader must be a civil-engineering graduate, have 15 years total and 10 years highway/project-preparation experience (including five years in road/highway engineering as resident/project engineer), at least 100 km equivalent similar experience, and be no older than 65. Pavement and Material Engineers must be civil graduates with 10 years total experience, prescribed 7/5-year specialist experience, at least 100 km equivalent similar experience, and age up to 60. Environment and Social Experts require the stated specialist degree, five years total experience and at least one infrastructure project in similar capacity, age up to 60.
The participating firm must not be blacklisted/debarred by any Government department/undertaking. Misleading representations or unfair means cause disqualification and blacklisting; failure after award to furnish performance security and sign the agreement forfeits bid security and causes one-year debarment.
No consortium size cap, lead-member requirement, equity threshold or member-specific qualification rule is stated. The agreement form nevertheless contemplates a consultant of more than one entity and requires every entity to sign, so the permissibility and evaluation of a consortium/JV should be confirmed before relying on a joint bid.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Survey, investigation and DPR preparation for construction/up-gradation of PMGSY-IV rural roads under package PMGSY-IV/2, totaling a tentative 357.65 km: Rajgarh PIU 181.98 km and Vidisha PIU 175.67 km. Road length includes CDs/bridges/vented causeways/flood causeways up to 60 m between abutment faces, excluding approach length.
The assignment covers community transect walks; pavement, road-inventory, drainage, traffic (including at least three-day count and ten-year forecast), topographic, soil/material, bridge/CD and sub-soil investigations; geometric, pavement, bridge/CD and road-safety design; land plans using Patwari Khasra; utility-shifting estimates; quantity/cost estimates; working drawings; and concrete-road DPRs where identified by the PIU.
Submit a four-volume DPR in hard and soft copy: main report, design report, BOQ/detailed estimates, and drawing folder, plus a detailed construction-material-source report. Also provide the work programme, monthly progress reports, preliminary report, two sets of draft DPR and four sets of final DPR; drawings must also be supplied in AutoCAD and reports/statements in relevant editable soft form.
Because this package is below 500 km, total completion is 60 days. Milestones are: work programme 10 days; preliminary report 25 days; topographic/geological/hydrological/traffic surveys and geometric design 35 days; checked/technically sanctioned detailed draft DPR 50 days; final report 60 days. The NIT makes the period inclusive of rainy season and runs it from the Work Order.
Use PMGSY-IV/MoRD guidance, Rural Roads Manual IRC:SP20:2007, Hill Roads Manual IRC:SP:48 where needed, relevant IRC standards, Specifications for Rural Roads, IRC-SP 19 and bridge/project-preparation manuals. Road estimates use MPRRDA SSR effective 01.01.2024; the document conflicts on which bridge lengths use PWD Bridge SOR effective 11.04.2025, so that threshold requires clarification.
Tendered road length is tentative and may vary by up to +50%. Bridges over 60 m are excluded under the Special Conditions and decided separately by the Chief General Manager. CPF Annexures 7, 9 and 10 are deleted from the consultancy scope. Exploratory bridge boring is excluded from the per-km financial proposal and paid at applicable PWD Bridge SOR rates.
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 at https://www.mptenders.gov.in. Technical evaluation occurs first; only technically qualified financial bids are opened. The financial proposal is an online per-km rate in the supplied BOQ.
The ITB is internally inconsistent: clause 4 says one additional hard copy 'may' be submitted at MPRRDA HQ by the technical-bid deadline, while clause 4.1.4 says the hard copy 'must' be delivered by that deadline. Safest action is to deliver it to MPRRDA, 3rd Floor, Vikas Bhawan, Arera Hills, Bhopal by 10.09.2026 17:00 hrs and seek written confirmation.
Technical proposal must be in indelible ink, signed by the authorised representative, and every technical and financial proposal page initialled. Corrections must be initialled. Proprietor signs for proprietorship; an authorised partner/company representative signs under a certified POA. The tender does not specify a DSC class or other digital-signature standard.
Do not modify or replace the BOQ template; enter only bidder name and permitted values, otherwise the bid is liable to rejection.
Only a scanned prescribed affidavit is uploaded with the technical bid; the NIT expressly says no original affidavit is required.
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.
ITB clause 4 says an additional hard copy 'may' be submitted, but clause 4.1.4 says it 'must' be delivered by the deadline. No clause expressly resolves this; bidder should submit the hard copy by the deadline pending clarification.
The NIT/ITB requires similar-work details for the last seven financial years, while the mandatory Appendix-II(B) form is titled for the last five years including current year. The substantive seven-year eligibility clause should be met; attach a suitably extended schedule without omitting the prescribed form and seek portal clarification.
Detailed NIT clause 5 and ITB 8.3 assign PWD Bridge SOR to bridges more than 15 m, while Special Condition 11 says bridges up to 15 m. The documents do not expressly resolve this internal conflict; the repeated 'more than 15 m' rule is consistent with the separate-design regime, but written confirmation is required before pricing/estimating.
TOR 3.2(v) says a separate DPR will be prepared for bridges over 60 m, but Annexure-B says such bridges are outside the consultant's scope. Annexure-B prevails because its clause 10 expressly gives Special Conditions priority over contradictory TOR/DPR Template provisions; therefore >60 m bridges are excluded unless the authority directs an amendment.
The NIT runs the 60-day period from the Work Order and says TOR clause 8 is amended accordingly, while TOR clause 8 runs it from agreement signing and ITB 8.2 refers to the LOI date/location. The NIT's express amendment makes the Work Order trigger prevail.
TOR 9 pays 40% on the 'final draft report', while GCC 6.3 pays 40% on the 'final report' and then a further 20% on acceptance of final report. No hierarchy clearly resolves this; pricing and cash-flow assumptions should use the more detailed TOR milestone only after authority confirmation.
TOR introduction refers to PMGSY-III, while the NIT, package table and TOR objectives identify PMGSY-IV. The package-specific NIT and PMGSY-IV scope prevail; PMGSY-III is a template carry-over.
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 the additional hard-copy technical proposal is mandatory or optional, its envelope markings, and whether receipt must occur by 10.09.2026 at 17:00 hrs, because ITB 4 and 4.1.4 conflict.
Please confirm which SOR applies to bridges up to and above 15 m and whether exploratory boring is separately paid, because Detailed NIT clause 5/ITB 8.3 conflict with Annexure-B clause 11. This affects DPR methodology and price.
Please confirm that seven years of similar-work experience must be reported and permit an extended Appendix-II(B), because the qualification clause asks for seven years but the printed form only asks for five years including current year.
Please confirm whether the 40% milestone is paid on submission of the final draft DPR or only the final DPR, and state the certification/payment timeline for each invoice. The TOR and GCC differ and no normal payment due date is stated.
If consortium/JV bids are permitted, please issue member-count, lead-member, joint-and-several-liability and member-wise qualification/bid-capacity rules. The agreement anticipates multiple entities but the qualification section supplies no evaluation framework.
Please confirm that bidders should price only DPR item 1.01 for 357.65 km and ignore unrelated legacy text embedded in the workbook, while leaving the protected template unchanged.
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.
Consultant-caused delay attracts 0.5% of contract sum per calendar day up to 10%. Beyond 30 days, the DPR becomes unacceptable and prior payments are recoverable. Failure to milestones can also trigger work withdrawal and another 0.5% per day up to 10%, expressly apart from the first penalty.
The consultant indemnifies the client for DPR inaccuracies and must secure the final 20% fee with a 24-month extendable BG. Cost deviation over 10% due to incorrect DPR provision forfeits 20% of the final installment; deviation over 25% additionally forfeits the 5% performance security and causes two-year debarment from DPR and SQC consultancy tenders.
A tentative 357.65 km multi-district assignment can increase by up to 50% yet must be completed in 60 days including rainy season, with detailed surveys, PIU-level laboratory, at least two soil samples per road-km, quarry testing and extensive specialist inputs. Resource mobilisation and weather/access risk are material.
If the applicable SOR changes, all road/CD/bridge estimates must be revised without extra cost. Together with +50% tentative length and unresolved bridge-SOR wording, this creates scope and rework exposure in a per-km price.
Failure to appoint the Team Leader/Pavement Engineer-cum-Road Safety Expert by work order attracts INR 20,000 for each missing team member; continued non-appointment can lead to termination. Frequent unjustified replacement can also trigger termination.
The client may terminate on 15 days' notice in its sole discretion for any reason. On termination, performance security stands forfeited and/or the consultant may be debarred for two years; only fully completed road assignments are payable and amounts paid for incomplete assignments are recovered. Sums/losses can be recovered as arrears of land revenue.
Client may suspend all payments for non-performance after requiring cure within up to 15 days. The 10% and final 20% payments are BG-backed, no routine invoice-payment period is stated, and the TOR/GCC disagree on whether 40% is triggered by final draft or final report.
The consultant and affiliates/subconsultants are disqualified during and after the agreement from supplying goods, works or services for any project resulting from these consultancy services, limiting downstream participation.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
