4. Abnormally Low Rates:

During evaluation of tenders, bid/s in which the item rates, in combination with
other elements of bid, appears so low that it raises material concerns as to the
capability of the bidder to perform the contract at the offered rates, shall be
considered as abnormally low rate bid. In such case/s the Department shall
seek written confirmation from the bidder including detailed price analyses of
the quoted rates in relation to the scope, schedule, resource mobilization,
allocation of risks and responsibilities, and any other requirement of the bid
document. If after evaluating the price analysis, the competent authority
determines that the bidder has substantially failed to demonstrate its capability
to deliver the contract at the offered rates, the competent authority will reject the
bids of such firms.

5. Access to credit facility:

Successful firm at the time of allocation of work shall have to produce proof of
access to or availability of credit facilities of not less than 10% of cost of work,
for which the firm is eligible for allotment. However, the issuance date of
certificate shall not be earlier than 03 months. The proforma for such certificate
has been appended as Form “X” to this document.

6. Available Bid Capacity:

The bidder should possess the bidding capacity as calculated by the specified
formula. The formula which will be applied is:
Available bid capacity = A x M x N – B, where
A = Maximum value of engineering (civil, mechanical and electrical as relevant
to the work being procured) works executed in any one year during the last
five years (updated to the current price level @ 07% per annum on simple as
stipulated earlier in case of similar experience clause) taking into account
the completed as well as work in progress.
M = Multiplier factor fixed as 2.
30 | P a g e
 N = Number of years prescribed for completion of work in progress.
B = Value (updated at the current price level) of the existing commitments and
ongoing works to be completed in the next „N‟ years.
If time period of contract is three months then N shall be 0.5 and if it is
greater than three months N shall be 1.0.

7. Evaluation of Financial bids:

The subject e-NIT has been advertised on item rate basis with the sole
intention to fix rate contract for all the items required for construction of
Production Tube Wells proposed under JJM. The subject rate contract shall be
valid for 12 months from the date of finalization of the subject e-NIT.
For this purpose, on opening of the price bids of qualifying/eligible firms, the
overall first lowest firm shall be identified. If the L1 rates are found to be
reasonable, then these rates shall be fixed for arriving at the cost of the well.
However, if the L1 rates are unreasonably high, then negotiations shall be held
with the first lowest firm and the reasonable rates analyzed by the Department
shall be offered to the first lowest firm. On acceptance of these rates by the L1,
cost for one tube well of 150M depth on the basis of standard quantities of each
item of BOQ shall be calculated. On the basis of this cumulative cost “rate per
meter of tube well” shall be fixed and counter offered to all the firms whose price
bids have been opened. On their acceptance to these rates, “n” number of firms
shall become eligible for issuance of allotment orders in their favour.
In case, due to favorable site conditions, desired discharge may be obtained at
a drilling depth of less than 150 Meters the drilling shall be limited to that depth.
The payment in such instance shall be restricted to the per meter rate fixed as
detailed above. The firm shall have no claim whatsoever in this regard.
However, if the first lowest firm as identified above does not accept the offered
rates, then the same offer shall be made to the second lowest firm by again
following the above detailed process. If any of the bidder/s does not accept the
counter offer then such bidder/s will no longer be considered & his bid will
become inoperative.
31 | P a g e
8. Allotment of works by District Jal Jeevan Missions:

In view of 123 number of production Tube Wells advertised in the instant NIT
and JJM being a time bound mission-mode programme the Department shall split
Tube Wells advertised in the instant tendered work and award parallel contracts to
various participant firms on acceptance of counter offered L1/reasonable rates and
in order of preference to the bidders with lowest financial quotes in the BOQ.
However the number of advertised Tube Wells may increase or decrease within the
prescribed range of ±15% due to change in requirement and the bidder shall have
to execute the works at the increased or decreased number of Tube Wells without
any claim in the matter, whatsoever.
The methodology which shall be adopted for allocation of works for final allotment
of work/s is detailed below: -
On identification of the first lowest firm as detailed in clause 7 above, works
shall be allotted to the L1 firm, subject to fulfillment of the below laid down criteria:

a. The L1 firm shall be allotted 25% of tube wells, subject to availability of adequate
Financial Capacity (consisting of bid capacity and credit facility) and availability
of required machinery and logistics.
b. The firm shall preferably be allotted works in specific locations which are in
vicinity of each other.
c. After issuing allotment orders to the L1 firm for a particular number of wells as
detailed above, allotment orders shall then be issued in favour of firms
proportionate to their quoted rates (in inverse order) in order of preference to the
bidders with lowest financial quotes (L2, L3, L4 ………. Ln), subject to their
acceptance of L1/reasonable rates per meter of the well and availability of
financial capacity and machinery, equipment and logistics.
d. In case, some works remain un-awarded after calling all the eligible firms,
second round of invitation shall be held with these firms and works allotted as
per the above procedure, subject to the condition the contractor has adequate

32 | P a g e
 financial capacity and has shown satisfactory performance for the already
awarded work/s.

9. Validity of bid:

Validity of the quoted rates shall be for 90 days from the last date of submission
of bids.

10. Prices:

The tenderer/s are required to quote rates on Item Rate Basis Free at Site,
for each item of BOQ inclusive of all allied/incidental items which may be
necessitated at site, taxes, charges and levies etc. No additional payment
whatsoever shall be paid to the firm on any account. However rates fixed per
metre of Tube Well (i.e. Rupees 22643/-) finalized against this office e-NIT
No:- 131 of 2021-22 Dated:- 28-02-2022 or lower are solicited in the subject
e-NIT. Bids with rates quoted rates in excess of the above rate shall be
liable for rejection.

The quantities of items reflected in the BOQ constitute a typical estimate for a
Production Tube Well. For now the quantities for all the items of BOQ have been
restricted to that usually required for one tube well. Thus the total amount
which will be reflected at the end of BOQ after the bidder quotes the individual
rates of each item will be for one tube well. Bidders are advised to check the
exact location and particulars of the Tube Well, from the concerned Divisions
beforehand to ascertain the working conditions.

No extra claim towards any type of tax, freight, etc shall be entertained
whatsoever. It must be noted that during the currency of the contract and its
extended period if any, no price escalation whatsoever shall be allowed in
respect of any of the items of the work.

 APPENDIX „C‟
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

01. Site Selection:

The bidders have been given the tentative location of each advertised tube well
in Annexure “A” appended with this bid document. Besides information regarding
Tube wells and Dug wells, existing in the vicinity of the proposed sites like their
depth, formation encountered, discharge and static water level will also be
furnished, wherever possible.
On initiating the drilling process, the Contractor is at liberty to make the
assessment for availability of adequate discharge of minimum 4000 GPH at the
proposed sites. For this purpose the bidder shall be free to undertake the electric
resistivity mapping of the proposed site and seek an opinion from a hydro-geological
expert, who shall be registered with the CGWB or with the Government
Organisation of the UT of J&K. The charges for this exercise shall be borne by the
contractor. However the above exercise shall necessarily be undertaken in presence
of Departmental Engineers.
Thereafter, the data regarding strata obtained from ERM mapping shall be
compared with the strata chart of the nearest existing well. After satisfying himself
about the feasibility of the site for drilling of production tube well, the firm shall
start the work at site and if the discharge of the well is below the minimum 4000
GPH discharge, the well shall not be taken over by the concerned Division and no
payment shall be made in favour of the bidder.
In case the bidder is not satisfied about the feasibility of proposed site on the
basis of ERM etc the bidder is free to choose/propose a more suitable site, which in
any case shall be acceptable to the Department as well.
In both situations, the site plan and the preliminary design shall require
approval of competent authority i.e. Superintending Engineer PHE Mechanical
Circle (North) Srinagar.
In this connection the bidder shall specify the following:
 Whether a test bore hole is proposed and if so, its diameter and depth, and
also depth of production tube well
 Likelihood of increase or decrease of the depth specified above.
 Method of drilling with size of bore in different depths.
 Types of plain pipe with size, wall thickness and slotted/strainer pipes with
opening, may be mentioned.
 Guarantee with regard to the verticality of tube well and sand content (ppm) in
the discharge from the well at the time of handing over.
 Development methods shall be adopted as per the guidelines of CGWB.

45 | P a g e
Pilot Bore:-
In case of sites where feasibility of drilling cannot be ascertained other than by
exploration, a pilot bore of 150 mm diameter shall first be done which can be
finished to the required final diameter by reaming. Strata chart shall be prepared
based on samples collected during drilling of the pilot bore. Geophysical log of the
borehole shall also be taken which shall be used in conjunction with the strata
chart for assessing quality of the aquifer. When this is done, Engineer-in-charge or
his representative will inspect the site, and collect all the data needed for designing
the well. Based on this data, the well shall be designed, and issued for further
execution. If the site is not suitable the pilot bore shall be abandoned, and an
alternative site shall be selected.

02. Construction of Production Tube Well:

Based on the exercise conducted during the site selection detailed above,
Construction of Production Tube Well shall be initiated by a suitable drilling method
viz
i. Direct Circulation Method/
ii. Reverse Circulation Method/
iii. Dual Rotary Method
iv. For Pilot Bore : DTH/ODEX
up to the desired depth as per the code of practice for Construction and Testing of
Tube Wells/Bore Wells (Second Revision) IS 2800 (Part-I): 1991 and IS-2800 (Part-
II) 1979 in all kinds of soils, boulder, rock, collapsible Strata, saturated soils etc.
with the requisite accessories required thereof, including Bentonite mud, foam,
water lubricants etc.
The drilled bore hole shall be reamed to 550 mm diameter for Mud
Rotary in case of open drilling and simultaneous lowering of strainer casing in case
of ODEX/Tubex drilling in 250 mm diameter and completed to the desired depth.
The method of drilling shall be decided by the team comprising of Hydrogeologist,
JE, AEE and the Executive Engineer after detailed deliberations and
recommendations recorded in the survey report.
The size and length of slotted/strainer Pipes are selected according to the
actual requirement and Strata met with in line with the relevant IS Code and the
expected discharge and depth of Tube Well.

03. Casing Pipe:-

The Well casing must be large enough to house the pump and should
allow sufficient clearance for installation and efficient operation. The dia of
casing shall not be less then 250 mm.

46 | P a g e
 The Well Casing Pipes conforming to IS-4270:1983 and the slotted/ Strainer
Pipes conforming to IS-8110:1985 shall be provided by firm at the site of Well
construction. The MS Pipe shall be ERW with thickness as specified in IS 4270,
Double Bituminous Coated and Bevelled as per IS code. The welding electrodes
used for welding the casing Pipes shall confirm to the relevant Standard IS codes.
The jigs and fixtures for lowering the casing Pipe shall be provided by the firm. The
bail plug or bottom plug, the clamp for holding the casing Pipe and Well cap shall be
fabricated out of IS-226:1975. The verticality and alignment of the Well and casing
Pipes shall be tested as per IS-2800 (Part-II): 1979. The well Casing shall be
anchored with ISMC150 and CC Block. The CC Block shall be laid of size (2 X 2
X 1) M in M-15 Mix, excluding the annular diameter of the Well.

04. Intake Design:-

Water moves from the aquifer into the well through either a screen or slotted or
perforated casing. Screens shall be manufactured with regularly shaped and sized
openings as per relevant IS codes. They shall be engineered to allow the maximum
amount of water in with minimal entry of formation sediments. Screens are
manufactured with various slot sizes and shapes to match the characteristics of the
aquifer. A good screen should allow the flow of water into the well and should be
effective in holding back the formation sediments.
Cuttings from the borehole should be examined and a judgment should be made
whether to use a screen, or slotted or perforated casing/liner in light of relevant IS
codes. While a screen is the more expensive alternative, it is necessary if the aquifer
is composed of loose material such as fine sand, gravel or soft sandstone. A slotted
or perforated casing/liner can be used when the aquifer formation is more
consolidated, such as hard sandstone or fractured shale.

05. Slot / screen size openings

The slot/ Screen openings shall be designed on the basis of Sieve analysis
of Samples collected after every 10 to 20 Feet of drilling, and must be small
enough to permit easy entry of water into the well while keeping out sediment. The
slot size chosen will depend on the particle size of the earth materials in the aquifer.
Typically one should select a slot size that allows 60 percent of the aquifer material
to pass through during the well development. The remaining 40 percent, comprising
the coarsest materials, will form a natural filter pack around the perforations or
screen. The slot size shall confirm to IS 8110:2000.

06. Total open area of screen

The amount of open area in the screen or slotted or perforated casing/liner will
affect how quickly the water from the aquifer enters the well. A larger amount of

 open area allows the water to enter the well at a slower rate, causing a lower drop
in pressure as the water moves into the well. If the water flows too quickly,
dissolved minerals in the water will precipitate out of solution and create an
incrustation build-up in restricting the flow of groundwater into the well.
Incrustation is a build-up that occurs when dissolved minerals in the groundwater
come out of solution and deposit on the screen or casing. The pore spaces in the
aquifer immediately adjacent to the perforations may also get plugged, restricting
the flow even more.
The total area of the slot openings is dependent on the length and diameter of
the screen. While the length of the screen is variable, the diameter of the screen is
determined by the diameter of the well casing. The yield from a well increases with
an increase in screen diameter but not proportionately.
07. Placement in the aquifer
The screen or perforations on the casing/liner must be placed adjacent to the
aquifer. If improperly placed, the well may produce fine sediment which will plug
plumbing fixtures and cause excessive wear on the pump. Therefore bore log data
should be analysed to accurately to identify the boundaries of the aquifer for exact
placement.

08. Verticality of Tube Wells

Tube wells must be perfectly vertical by using a plumb disk. Two disks made out
of 3mm thick steel plate are connected together by a rod of 25mm diameter and 3
m long tightened with the help of nuts at the ends. Some holes are punched in
plates to facilitate immersion in water.
A knob is fixed on the top nut to which a thin steel wire is attached. The disk is
suspended into the tube by the wire passing over a pulley on a tripod. When the
disk is lowered into the pipe, the wire is exactly in the centre of pipe. When the
disks are further lowered down and if the well pipe is not truly vertical, the wire will
deviate from the centre and that shall be indicated at the top of pipe.
Absolute verticality is ideal for installation of Submersible Pumping Units.

09. Annular Seal & Well cap

Sealing the well protects the well from contamination. The annular space must
be sealed as per relevant IS codes to prevent any surface contamination from
migrating downward and contaminating the water supply.
A vermin-proof well cap shall be designed to keep animals, insects and
contaminants from entering the well. It shall be equipped with rubber gaskets and
screened vents to ensure air circulation. Coverings shall be custom made to the
respective diameter of each well.

 10. Well Development
Well development is the process of removing fine sediment and drilling fluid
from the area immediately surrounding the perforations. This increases the well‟s
ability to produce water and maximize production from the aquifer. If the aquifer
formation does not naturally have any relatively coarse particles to form a filter, it
may be necessary to install an artificial filter pack. This pack is placed around the
screen or perforations so the well can be developed. This procedure is necessary
when the aquifer is composed of fine sand and the individual grains are uniform in
size. It is important to match the grain size of the filter pack material with the size of
the slot openings of the screen to attain maximum yield from the well. Typically the
slot size of the screen shall be selected so that 85 percent of the artificial pack
material will remain outside of the screen after well development. The Well
development shall be purely as per the relevant IS codes required at site to be
decided by the Site in-charge JE/ AEE.

11. Yield Test:-

Tube well shall be tested for yield by the bidder as per IS:2800-1979. Yield test is
to be performed by the firm in order to establish the following Data;
i. Static Water Level.
ii. Dynamic Water Level.
iii. Draw-Down
iv. Constant Discharge of the Well.
v. Safe Yield of the Well for installation of Pumping Unit.
After drilling and developing a well, bidder must stabilize the well with Pumping
for at least 30 Hours for Handing Over the Well to the concerned Territorial
Division.
After 2 hours, water removal should be stopped and the recovery of the water
level monitored and recorded. Measurements must be taken at specific time
intervals for a 2 hour period or until the water level returns to 90 percent of its
original level. Once the yield test is complete, it can be decided at what rate the
well can be pumped without lowering the water level below the top boundary of
the aquifer, the top of the perforations or below the pump intake.
This information shall be used while deciding the pump capacity as pump
should have a capacity equal to, or less than, the rate at which the well can
supply water for an extended period of time without lowering the water level
below the pump intake. That pumping rate is considered the long-term, safe and
sustainable pumping rate for the well.

49 | P a g e
12.Disinfecting the well:
The bidder shall disinfect the tube well with chlorine. The concentration must
be at least 200 milligrams of chlorine per litre of water present in the well and
must be left in the well for at least 8-12 hours to ensure any bacteria present are
destroyed.

13. Filter Pack:

i. Filter pack shall consist of well-rounded particles, with uniformity co-efficient
(D60/D10) less than 2.5. The gravel / sand used in the filter pack shall be
95% siliceous (Not>5% soluble in hydrochloric acid), free from foreign matters,
washed and disinfected. Gravel shall conform to IS: 4097:1988 “Gravel for use
as filter pack in bore wells”.
ii. The filter pack shall extent above the screen a distance of 1 to 2 m, to account
for setting and loss during development to prevent the filter pack around the
screen from being fouled by and the sealing grout.
iii. The size and grading shall be as per B-3 of Annexure B of IS: 8110:2000 “Well
screens and slotted pipes – Specifications”. Gravel shall be consist of sand or
gravel .The grain size shall be so selected as to have D50 of the filter pack 9 –
12.5 times the D50 of the formation in the aquifer in uniform aquifers and
11-15.5 times the D50 of the formation in the aquifer in non-uniform
aquifers. Another criterion is that the average pore size of the gravel pack,
which may be taken as 0.4 times D10 of the gravel pack, should be less than
D85 of the formation in the aquifer.
