Bids from Agents, without proper authorization from the manufacturer as per Section XII, shall be treated as non-responsive. 24.1.1 Where the Bidder has quoted for more than one schedule, if the bid security furnished is inadequate for all the schedules, the Purchaser shall take the price bid into account only to the extent the bid is secured.

Warranty (GCC Clause 15), Force Majeure (GCC Clause 25), Limitation of liability (GCC Clause 29), Applicable law (GCC Clause 31), and Taxes & Duties (GCC Clause 33) will be deemed to be a material deviation.

Deleted 26.

E-1 44 NCB SECTION VI: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS E-1 45 NCB Notes for Preparing the Technical Specifications A set of precise and clear specifications is a pre-requisite for bidders to respond realistically and competitively to the requirements of the Purchaser without qualifying their bids. In the context of National Competitive Bidding (NCB), the specifications must be drafted to permit the widest possible competition and, at the same time, present a clear statement of the required standards of workmanship, materials, and performance of the goods and services to be procured. Only if this is done will the objectives of economy, efficiency, and fairness in procurement be realized, responsiveness of bids be ensured, and the subsequent task of bid evaluation facilitated. Their specifications should require that all goods and materials to be incorporated in the goods be new, unused, and of the most recent or current models, and that they incorporate all recent improvements in design and materials unless provided for otherwise in the contract. Samples of specifications from previous similar procurements are useful in this respect. The use of metric units is encouraged by the Bank. Depending on the complexity of the goods and the repetitiveness of the type of procurement, it may be advantageous to standardize the General Technical Specifications and incorporate them in a separate sub-section. The General Technical Specifications should cover all classes of workmanship, materials, and equipment commonly involved in manufacturing similar goods, although not necessarily to be used in a particular procurement. Deletions or addenda should then adapt the General Technical Specifications to the particular procurement. Care must be taken in drafting specifications to ensure that they are not restrictive. In the specification of standards for equipment, materials, and workmanship, recognized international standards should be used as much as possible. Where other particular standards are used, whether national standards or other standards, the specifications should state that equipment, materials, and workmanship that meet other authoritative standards, and which ensure at least a substantially equal quality than the standards mentioned, will also be acceptable. The following clause may be inserted in the Special Conditions of Contract or the Technical Specifications. Sample Clause :Equivalency of Standards and Codes Where reference is made in the Technical Specifications to specific standards and codes to be met by the goods and materials to be furnished or tested, the provisions of the latest current edition or revision of the relevant standards or codes in effect shall apply, unless otherwise expressly stated in the Contract. Where such standards and codes are national or relate to a particular country or region, other authoritative standards that ensure substantial equivalence to the standards and codes specified will be acceptable. Reference to brand name and catalogue number should be avoided as far as possible; where unavoidable they should always be followed by the words “or at least equivalent”. Where appropriate, drawings including site plans as required, may be furnished by the Purchaser with the bidding documents. Similarly, the Supplier may be requested to provide drawings with its bid for prior review by the Purchaser during contract execution. E-1 46 NCB SECTION VI - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS CAMPUS NETWORKING: INTRODUCTION OF SUPPLY INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF CAMPUS WIDE INTELLIGENT AND SECURED WIRED AND WIRELESS NETWORK The Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE), Mysore established in the year 1963 under the aegis of JSS Mahavidyapeetha.. It has carved a niche for itself as a premier center for Technical Education Institution serving as one of the major landmarks of the western part of Mysore, with its sprawling 117 acres of campus and several recognizable buildings. As one of the leading institutes in India, SJCE has been recognized under the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP). SJCE is desirous of deploying Secure, Intelligent & scalable IP Communication networks across the campus in Mysore, Karnataka. Figure1: OUTLINE OF SJCE CAMPUS E-1 47 NCB I. OVERVIEW OF AN EXISTING NETWORK ARCHITECTURE Figure 2: Existing Network Architecture The Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering campus is spread across an area of 117 acres, encompassing over 25 departmental buildings. The existing campus wide LAN is partially centralized with controlling facility at the server room located in the administrative block. The campus passive back bone network is a combination of Fiber Optic Cable (OFC) and Cat 5 UTP cable. The existing passive cabling system is unstructured with some of the OFC cables laid underground and connected through fast Ethernet optical fiber media converters. A few outside plant cables are laid over head via the aerial route. The SJCE LAN currently caters to about 1200 computers, with the connectivity being delivered using a combination of managed & unmanaged switches from server room located at administrative block. The New Computer Science and Information Science (CS/IS) block has been furnished with structured cabling system and completely managed core and access switches with Watch guard UTM solution providing 1Gbps user end connectivity for more than 600 nodes through dedicated Network Operation Centre (NOC). E-1 48 NCB II. PROPOSED NETWORK ARCHITECTURE Rapid changes in the information communication technologies have brought out numerous new technologies in the higher education field. These new technologies demand high speed access to networks to run applications. Higher education sector in the country is undergoing sweeping changes mainly because of the decision to implement Washing Accord. Out come based education (OBE) is going to set benchmarks on the quality of the education imparted in the technical institutions. One of the key infrastructure that aid OBE is the modern media Local Area Network that support data intensive teaching – learning applications. Some of the most significant applications that drive the future of teaching – learning systems are : 1) Delivery of Video Lectures across Wireless LANS in the campus Networks. NPTEL has video materials of over 20,000 hours duration covering most of the undergraduate course offered in the technical universities. These video lectures are stored in the streaming serever in the campus. Streamed videos are made available to the students through their Laptops and Smart phones. The network bandwidth and QoS are prime parameters that drive such applications. So Giga bit backbone network is essential for these applications. The 10 G network would support a minimum 1000 concurrent video streams at any time both through Wireline as well as Wireless networks. 2) Cloud based application : There are many applications which are web enabled and require high speed data transfer. 3) Voice communications: The campus network must also support voice communications across the nodes 4) Security : Video cameras installed across the campus load the network with continuous streams of video data. Network must support such constant data. 5) Video conference: Network must support video conferencing and must provide individuals seamless access through skype and other video conferencing tools. Keeping the above points, A STAR topology is proposed such that 11 departments have been provided with 10G direct port to port access. 5 building have been provided with 1 G direct access. The network centre house a 24 port Core Switch that support both 10 and 1 G ports. The access layer switches are provided with 10G/1G ports respectively.
