Irrigation Department Tender

The bid capacity required in the given tender can be calculated using the formula 2AN - B, where A is the maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five years, N is the number of years prescribed for completion of the works, and B is the value of existing commitments. The bidder should have an assessed available bid capacity greater than the estimated value of the work. The value of A is calculated by taking the maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five years, updated by giving an 8% simple weightage per year to bring them to the current financial year price level. The number of years, N, is the period prescribed for completion of the works, with a period up to 6 months considered as half a year and more than 6 months considered as one year. The value of B includes the value of existing commitments, such as agreed works and ongoing works to be completed during the period of completion of the project for which tenders are invited. A proper certificate from a competent Chartered Accountant is required to verify the bid capacity calculation. Additionally, the bidder should meet specific qualifying criteria, including turnover, financial soundness, similar work experience, and registration in the Irrigation Department. The turnover requirement is 30% of the cost of work, and the similar work experience requirement involves completing similar works with specific value criteria. Therefore, the bid capacity required in the given tender involves specific values and formulas related to the bidder's experience, commitments, and financial capabilities.
