not the payment received within qualifying alone, should be considered. In case,
the final bill of similar nature of work has not been passed and final measurements
have not been recorded, the total paid amount including statutory deductions is to

completed with negative, then also the paid amount including statutory deductions
is to be considered.

with positive variation but variation has not been sanctioned, original agreement
value or last sanctioned agreement value whichever is lower should be considered
for judging eligibility.

eligibility criteria.

defined as bridge work with pile foundation and PSC superstructure, a tenderer,
who had completed one bridge work with pile foundation of value at least equal to
35% of tender value and also had completed one bridge work with PSC

executed for Private Organizations shall not be considered.

attested by Notary public with seal and Notarial stamps thereon.
ix) If a tenderer has completed a work of similar nature where cement and steel was

any given point of time.

2. The Price Variation Clause shall be applicable for tenders of value more than Rs.50
lacs irrespective of the contract completion period and PVC shall not be applicable to
the tender of value less than Rs.50 lacs.


provided the Price Variation Clause was part of the original contract and the extension
has been granted on administrative ground i.e. under Clause 17-A (i), (ii) and (iii) of
GCC.



(ii) Value of cement, for which PVC is being paid/ recovered under this clause

Such payments would be excluded from the gross value of the work for purpose of
payment/ recovery of variations as per clause no.29.5 A 1.

6. The index number for the base period will be the index number as obtained for the
month of opening of the tender and the quarters will commence from the month
following the month of opening of tender. However, if the rates quoted in negotiated

indices made available by the Reserve Bank of India. Any adjustment needed to be
done based on the finally published indices is to be made as and when they become
available.

10. The price variation implies both increase as well as decrease in input prices and,
therefore price variation during the currency of the contract may result in extra

may be prepared hereafter are not to be taken as final nor are these binding on
railway in any respect. The contractor shall have no claim on the railway if any
change is made in the approved drawings. Also his inability to make timely
arrangements for the necessary plant and machinery due to any such changes which
the Engineer may make will not be taken as an excuse for slow performance or non-
performance of the work.

for any reasons what-so-ever during the execution of work as strutting required or
done, if any, the payment of extra lift and refilling earth in foundations will also be
limited to vertical dimensions only. If the depth of excavation of foundation below
average ground level is more than 2 meters, the payment of excavation will be
made 1V : H slope above the Top level of base concrete. Bottom portion of
foundation trenches where base concrete (foundations concrete) is to be laid, will
however, be excavated to its true dimensions as shown in plan. No payment will be
made for lifts and refilling earth in foundations for the foundations trenches with 1V
: H slopes as mentioned above. Nothing extra will be payable for shoring strutting
required or done if any.

Evaluation of Technical Eligibility :-

Any one of the partners of ABCD tendering firm viz. A, B, C or D should satisfy the
technical eligibility criterion on the basis of his/her proportionate share of credential in the
earlier partnership firm reduced further by his percentage share in the tendering firm. As
calculated in above table, the contribution of partners A, B, C & D towards the credentials
of tendering firm ABCD will be taken as Rs. 0.40 Cr., Rs. 0.60 Cr., Rs. 0.50 Cr., Rs. 0.20
Cr. Respectively. Thus, in this example the firm ABCD is deemed to have executed one
single work of maximum value of Rs. 0.60 Cr. For the purpose of technical eligibility
criteria.

Evaluation of Financial Eligibility :-

The arithmetic sum of the contribution of all the partners of tendering firm ABCD derived
on the basis of their respective proportionate share in the earlier partnership firms reduced
further by their respective percentage share in the tendering firm, in this example will be
taken as Rs. .70 Cr. (i.e., A + B + C + D = 0.40 + 0.60 + 0.50 + 0.20 = 1.70 Cr.). Thus, in
this example, the firm ABCD is deemed to have received contractual payment of Rs. 1.70
Cr. For the purpose of financial eligibility criteria.
