Zonal PMC services for Construction Supervision, Quality & Quantity Audit, DPR Preparation and Tender Assistance for MYSORE ZONE/CENTRAL ZONE/ KALBURGI ZONE/ BELGAUM ZONE of KRIDL (template multi-zone wording; Appendix G lists Mysuru, Central/Chitradurga, Kalaburagi and Belagavi zone divisions).
Core continuing function: implementation assistance, independent quality audit, quantity audit, and assistance in bill certification; does not include project management/execution decisions (remain with KRIDL).
Four service lines: B-1 full DPR (architecture, structural design/drawings, estimate); B-2 topographic survey only; B-3 soil investigation (SBC shallow, SBC boring, CBR); B-4 tender document preparation when separately ordered.

Establish fully functional Zonal Office within 30 days of LOA (space/furniture by KRIDL); indicative professional strength 37 with fixed key positions and discretionary balance.
12 months from Effective Date, extendable by up to 12 months at KRIDL sole discretion on same terms/percentages subject to satisfactory performance.
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 only via Karnataka Public Procurement Portal https://kppp.karnataka.gov.in; register under Contractors/Consultants login; no printed copies or sealed envelopes.
Authorised representative shall digitally sign the Proposal and digitally initial all pages; DSC of the class prescribed on the portal is required.
No physical bid submission is required. Client may require production of original documents for verification within five (5) days of a written request (experience evidence).
Proposals and reports in English; supporting documents may be in Kannada or English.
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 files are present in the tender documents folder; only the RFP Word file is available. Calendar dates and blank Data Sheet fields remain as in the base RFP (As per e-procurement Portal / unfilled).
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.
Data Sheet item 10 sets Performance Security at Rs. 50.00 Lakhs 'as stated at SC 11', but SC 11 and the specimen LOA require Rs. 1.00 crore / Rs. 1,00,00,000/-.
RFP repeatedly names MYSORE/CENTRAL/KALBURGI/BELGAUM zones, yet staffing/office text refers to Bengaluru Zone / Zonal headquarters at Bengaluru and six Bengaluru Division offices.
TOR states the Zone comprises twelve Divisions and twenty-one Sub-Divisions, but Appendix G lists far more divisions/sub-divisions across four zone tables (e.g. Mysuru alone 9 divisions / 15 sub-divisions).
Form 3F states CVs are required for Team Leader, Quality Supervisor and Construction Manager only, while TOR says six key professional positions' CVs are evaluated (including Structural, Transportation, and lead ACM).
SC 6.1 bases Scope A fee on MRA bill value approved/accounted by competent authority, while SC 6.4 states value of work done is calculated w.r.t. SR amount of the DPR excluding GST, 3rd party, KRIDL charges and labour cess.
Specimen LOA threatens action under 'Clause 10.3 in item 10 of the Data Sheet', but Data Sheet item 10 as printed only contains 10.1 and 10.2 (no 10.3 text).
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 Performance Security is Rs. 50.00 Lakhs (Data Sheet 10) or Rs. 1.00 crore (SC 11 and LOA specimen), and issue a corrigendum aligning all three.
Confirm whether this tender is only Mysuru Zone or all four zones listed; the physical Zonal Office location (Bengaluru vs zone HQ); and required ACM numbers given Appendix G division counts vs '6 in Bengaluru Zone'.
Confirm whether CVs are required only for Team Leader, Quality Supervisor and Construction Manager (Form 3F) or for all six evaluated key positions including Structural Engineer, Transportation Engineer and lead ACM (TOR/evaluation).
Request publication of fixed dates for clarification deadline, pre-proposal conference, bid submission and technical opening, and complete telephone/email of Client officials (currently blank).
Confirm whether Scope A % applies to full MRA certified value (SC 6.1) or SR amount of DPR excluding GST/3rd party/KRIDL charges/labour cess (SC 6.4), and how third-party inspection agency appointment interacts with fee.
Request the filled professional indemnity minimum coverage (SC 3.4 currently '[amount to be fixed by KRIDL]') and the missing text of Data Sheet Clause 10.3 referenced in the LOA.
Given Non-ECV structure and 'no minimum quantum' language, request indicative Zone-wise annual volume for Scopes A–D and whether Form 4C note allowing other-Zone works at same % is obligatory if Client so requests.
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.
Non-ECV, variable remuneration with no minimum aggregate; Scopes B/C/D only on written requisition with no minimum number of requisitions — revenue highly volume-dependent.
LD of 0.5% of fee attributable to the delayed work/deliverable per week (or part) for missing TOR para 4.2 turnarounds, capped at 5% of fees paid/payable in the relevant financial year.
No advance; interest on delayed payment deleted (SC 6.5); payment within 30 days only after complete invoice and corresponding MRA approval by competent authority — MRA lag can delay Consultant cashflow.
EMD Rs. 4,00,000 electronic; Performance Security Rs. 50 lakh or Rs. 1 crore (conflict) as BG/FDR/DD for contract + 60 days — material capital lock for a percentage-fee consultancy.
Contract extension is at Client sole discretion; additional termination ground for persistent office/deployment shortfall (30 days' notice); Client sole-discretion termination remains (60 days).
Many critical fields blank (dates, contacts, PI sum insured, commencement date); multi-zone template errors and PS amount conflict create bid-compliance and pricing risk if not corrected by addendum.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
Client: The Chief Engineer on behalf of the Managing Director, Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL).
Clarifications: Office of the Chief Engineer, KRIDL, Grameenabhivruddhi Bhavana, Anand Rao Circle, Bengaluru – 560 009, or through KPPP; responses only on portal.
Pre-proposal conference at Office of the Zonal Chief Engineer of the Zone; Data Sheet lists (1) Zonal Chief Engineer, Bengaluru Zone, KRIDL — and (2) Executive Engineer (Technical), Head Office — with telephone numbers left blank.
