West Bengal State Rural Development Agency Tender

The bidder is required to have prior work experience in construction works of a similar nature and volume over the last five years. Specifically, the bidder should have 10 years of experience in construction and 3 years of experience in road works. Additionally, the bidder should have a degree or diploma in civil engineering with 3 years of road experience. For work performed as prime Contractor or sub-contractor, the bidder needs to provide information on the project name, description of work, value of contract, and other details. The bidder must have satisfactorily completed 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. The value of similar works completed should be provided, but no specific percentage is mentioned. However, the bidder's record of performance, including any history of poor performance, abandoning works, or financial failures, can lead to disqualification. The bidder's experience and resources are considered in determining compliance with qualifying criteria. The amount of similar works completed should be provided for each of the last five years, and the total monetary value of civil construction works performed for each of the last five years should be provided. The assessed available bid capacity is calculated using a formula that takes into account the maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five years. No specific percentage of similar works completed is mentioned, but the bidder should have experience in works of a similar nature and size. The Performance Security is 5% of the Contract Price, and insurance is 1% of the estimated cost of construction. Subcontracting of components of the works is allowed, aggregating to not more than 25 percent of the contract price.
