Western Railway Tender

The required prior work experience for the bidder includes experience in supervising field works of Survey & Geotechnical Investigation, GAD preparation, monitoring progress of work, and other related tasks. However, the exact number of years of experience is not specified. For the subcontractor, the prior work experience required is to have successfully completed at least one work similar to the work proposed for subcontract, costing not less than 35% of the value of the work to be subletted, in the last 5 years. However, this requirement is waived for subletting of work costing up to Rs 50 lakh. The value of similar works completed is relevant for calculating the available bid capacity, which is based on the maximum value of construction works executed and payment received in any one of the previous three financial years or the current financial year. The formula for calculating the available bid capacity is provided, but it does not explicitly mention the percentage of similar works completed. The only percentage mentioned is 35%, which is the minimum percentage of the value of the work to be subletted that the subcontractor should have completed in a similar work in the last 5 years. Additionally, the formula for calculating the available bid capacity includes a factor of 0.33, which is used to subtract the value of existing commitments and balance amount of ongoing works. The similar nature of work is defined as "Any work involving Preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) including Detailed Design for any Railway/Highway project involving construction of Flyover/ROB/RUB/Bridge". The bidder is required to submit documents testifying to their previous experience and financial status.
