Kerala State Rural Roads Development Agency Tender

The required prior work experience for the bidder includes having satisfactorily completed work as a prime contractor, with at least one similar work equal in value to one-third (or one-fourth in case of Naxal/LWE affected districts) of the estimated cost of work (excluding maintenance cost for five years). The bidder should have a financial turnover of civil construction works for each of the last five years, as certified by a Chartered Accountant. The bidder should have experience in road works, with technical personnel having a degree or diploma in civil engineering and a minimum number of years of experience in road works. Specifically, a degree holder should have at least five years of experience, and a diploma holder should have at least three years of experience for construction work, and at least one year of experience for routine maintenance. The bidder's available bid capacity will be calculated based on their maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five years, updated to the current price level. The calculation of the available bid capacity is as follows: Assessed Available Bid Capacity = (A*N*M - B), where A = Maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five years, N = Number of years prescribed for completion of the works, M = 2 or a higher figure not exceeding 3, B = Value of existing commitments and ongoing works to be completed during the period of completion of the works. The required prior work experience is also related to the total annual volume of civil engineering construction work executed and payments received in the last five years preceding the year in which bids are invited. The bidder needs to provide a certificate from a Chartered Accountant for this information. However, specific values or percentages of similar works completed, such as amount and percentage, are not mentioned, except for the one-third or one-fourth value of the estimated cost.
