Rural Development Department Tender

The required prior work experience for the bidder includes having worked as a prime contractor on construction works of a similar nature and volume over the last five years. The bidder should have satisfactorily completed, as a prime contractor, 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 the work for which the bid is invited. The bidder should have achieved a minimum financial turnover, with at least 50% of it being from civil engineering construction works, equivalent to 60% of the amount put to bid if it is Rs.200 lakhs, or 75% of the amount put to bid if it is more than Rs.200 lakhs, with an indexing rate of 8% per year. In Naxal / Left Wing Extremist Affected Districts, the figure of 75% would be replaced by 50%. The bidder needs to provide information on 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. They should also provide details of projects completed, including project name, name of employer, description of work, value of contract, contract number, date of issue of work order, stipulated date of completion, actual date of completion, and remarks explaining reasons for delay, if any. The required prior work experience for the bidder also includes a maintenance engineer with a degree/diploma in civil engineering and three years of experience. No specific percentage of similar works completed is mentioned, but the bidder's maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five years is considered for calculating the available bid capacity. The amount of similar works completed is not explicitly stated.
