Queries
After Visiting the site, we feel that the
time limit may please be kept at least
9 months excluding monsoon period
since the work involves very deep
excavation (up to 12 meter deep) in
sandy strata and also because of the
likely problem of sub soil water due
to proximity of the river.
The sides of the deep trenches have
to be stabilized by giving slopes. The
BOQ mentions that payment for only
2.8 meter of the trench width will be
given irrespective of the actual
excavation. This would make the
contractor to assume for possibility of
wider actual excavation and other
contingencies (Which may or may
not happen). This will reduce the
tendering exercise to a gambling
exercise. We, therefore, request you
to grant the mode of measurement
as per actual work done at site as far
as excavation is concerned.
Would you allow the excavated stuff
to be used around the pipeline
(Granular material as per item no: 2
to the BOQ)?
As per item no: 5 of BOQ, the FRC
manhole frame and cover will be paid
separately but no separate item is
given. Please clarify.
Clarifications
Time limit of 4 months specified in tender shall be
adhered strictly.
Only 2.8 m Trench width with vertical cut will be
payable for pipes and for rest of the structures
vertical cut of PCC size will be payable as per Item
No.-01 of Sub section 6.1 of Bid BOQ.

item of reinforcement.
Ten percent (10%) mobilization
