B.2.2 Solvency
The solvency amount should be equal to 40% of the estimated cost of the work or more.
B.3 Profitability as per Format 3

Profit before tax should be positive in at least 3 (THREE) years, out of last 5 (five financial
years) i.e. 2016-17, 2015-16, 2014-15,2013-14 and 2012-13.
(Note:- Specify the years for which the profitability is to be checked. For bids announced in Q1 or
Q2 of a financial year, data for penultimate financial year and its 4 preceding financial years will be
demanded. For bids announced in Q3 or Q4 of a financial year, data for 5 preceding financial years
will be demanded. Example: if a bid is announced in May 2011, then data for FY 2009-10, 2008-09,
2007-08, 2006-07 and 2005-06 will be demanded. And, if a bid is announced in Nov 2011, then
data for FY 2010-11, 2009-10, 2008-09, 2007-08 and 2006-07 will be demanded)
B.4 Available bidding capacity as per Format 4A (applicable for all projects with ECV greater
than INR 25 Cr.)
The bidder should have a minimum available bidding capacity of 100 % of the ECV
The available bidding capacity shall be worked out by the following formula
Bidding Capacity = (A*N*2) – B
where, A= Maximum value of construction works executed in any one year during the last
five financial years i.e. 2016-17, 2015-16, 2014-15,2013-14 and 2012-13taking into account
the completed as well as works in progress (updated to the current price level), rate of inflation has
been taken as 10% compounded per year). N = Number of years prescribed for completion of
works for which bids has been invited). B= Value at current price level of existing commitments
and ongoing works to be completed during the next 1 years (period of completion of work for
which bids have been invited).Bidders will give a calculation for the same.
(Note:- Specify the years for which the value of construction works is to be checked. For bids
announced in Q1 or Q2 of a financial year, data for penultimate financial year and its 4
preceding financial years will be demanded. For bids announced in Q3 or Q4 of a financial
year, data for 5 preceding financial years will be demanded. Example: if a bid is announced
in May 2011, then data for FY 2009-10, 2008-09, 2007-08, 2006-07 and 2005-06 will
bedemanded. And, if a bid is announced in Nov 2011, then data for FY 2010-11, 2009-10,
2008- 09, 2007-08 and 2006-07 will be demanded)
Example:
1. For calculating “A” – let’s assume the maximum value of construction turnover in last 5
financial years is Rs. 100cr in FY 2009-10. Then taking 10% as given inflation rate, the
21
present value of the maximum construction turnover in FY 2010-11 shall be Rs
110cr[=100*(1+10%)].
2. For “N”, let’s assume the current project duration to be 3 years.
3. For “B”, let’s assume that value for existing commitments and ongoing work 2010-11, 2011-
12 and 2012-13 be Rs. 100 cr., Rs. 150 cr. and Rs. 200 cr respectively. Then taking 10% as
given discount rate, the current price level of existing commitments and ongoing works
shall be Rs. 401.65 cr. [={100/(1+10%)^0} + {150/(1+10%)^1} +{200/(1+10%)^2}].
Bidding Capacity = (A*N*2) – B
= (110*3*2) – 401.65 = Rs. 258.35 cr.
B.5 Working Capital as per Format 5 (The bidder shall demonstrate that it has access to, or has
available liquid assets (aggregate of working capital, cash in hand) and/or lines of credit sufficient
to meet the construction cash flow requirements, minimum estimated as 15 % of ECV as on 31st
March 2017.
(For estimated contract value; ECV >= INR 100 Cr.) The bidder shall demonstrate that it has access
to, or has available liquid assets (aggregate of working capital, cash in hand) and/or lines of credit
sufficient to meet the construction cash flow requirements, minimum estimated as 10 % of ECV
subject to a minimum of INR 15 Cr. Ason 31st March, 20XX.
(Note:- Specify the year for which the working capital is to be calculated. For bids announced in Q1
or Q2 of a financial year, data for penultimate financial year will be demanded. For bids
announced in Q3 or Q4 of a financial year, data for preceding financial year will be
demanded. Example: if a bid is announced in May 2011, then data for FY 2009- 10 will be
demanded. And, if a bid is announced in Nov 2011, then data for FY 2010-11 will be
demanded)
B.6 Litigation
Bidder shall submit along with the bid details of all pending litigation as per attached
Format 6. The maximum possible legal liability arising out of all the pending litigation should not
exceed 50% of net worth of the bidder.

inconvenience to the public.
b) Immediately after showers, be it a working day or holiday, the Contractor and JE/AE must inspect
works under progress or which have already been completed in the recent past and if there is any
settlement in the filled earth, the same shall be immediately got attended by getting required back
filling. If barricading is required, the same shall be got done immediately.
3.12 Handing Over
After the completion of the above work the same shall be handed over to the concerned maintenance wing of

i) Auger boring method / Tunnel Boring / HDD / Pushing Method shall be adopted as per
52
requirement and diameter of pipe, and payment will be made as per B.O.Q. and no other claim
on account of method will be entertained.
ii) The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer-in-charge a detailed work plan and schedule before
executing of work. The work plan shall include a description of all equipment to be used, down-hole
tools, a list of personnel and their qualifications and experience (including back-up personnel in the

environmental protection plan and contingency plans for possible problems. Work plan shall be
comprehensive, realistic and based on actual working conditions for this particular project. Plan
shall document the thoughtful planning required to successfully complete the project.
iii) Horizontal directional drilling using suitable boring device with cutting head to drill the horizontal
bore, subsequently the pipe has to be pushed in the bore as it progresses, to keep the formation
supported and to prevent any settlement of the road under speed restrictions. Each length of the
pipe shall be firmly welded, so that the alignment is straight and thereby there is no hindrance to
the pulling of underground cables through the pipes thereafter. The approximate length of HDD
work is mentioned in BOQ. However, it may increase or decrease according to actual requirements
to meet unforeseen contingencies.
iv) The horizontal directional drilling has to be carried out at suitable depth as per site conditions.
v) The contractor will be required to conduct GPR Survey, excavate trial trenches / pits where ever
required, at right angles to the proposed trenchless route, or as directed by the Engineer-in-charge,
to ascertain the location of the existing utilities of other agencies.
vi) The contractor shall asses, ascertain and visualize all type of hindrances, unforeseen items and
make all arrangements for complete removal of the same at his own cost and no extra payments
shall be made on this account.
vii) The contractor will be required to verify the utility services and underground structure by GPRS or
any other suitable method as per direction of Engineer-in-Charge before start of work.
viii) The pipe shall be inserted along with boring to keep the foundation supported to prevent any
settlement of road.
ix) The longitudinal movement and the level of pipe have to be checked after each push. It is generally
observed that pipe tends to lift up at jacks end while pushing and has therefore to be rectified by
shifting the jacks a bit below the central axis before applying future jack pressure.
x) The bank above the pipe should be constantly tested by tamping with crow bars.
xi) If the soil is sandy or loose, not more than10 to15 cm in depth should be excavated in front of the pipe
at a time and the pipe should be pushed to occupy the space immediately.
xii) In case, rock or any other obstruction is encountered during the execution of work, then, the particular alignment
will be abandoned and boring shall be carried out at new location. The contractor will ensure proper compaction
of the hole made either by leaving the inserted pipe in place duly plugging the ends or sand filling.
53
xiii) The contractor will take full precautions during trenchless work to avoid damage to any underground service,
cable etc.
xiv) Sufficient number of sleepers’ cribs and service span shall be kept ready at site for quick restoration
of Traffic.
xv) Excess earth or rubble remaining if any, after refilling the trenches should be removed at the contractor’s
cost to the satisfaction of the representative of the road owning agencies.
xvi) The contractor will be entirely responsible for any damages caused in the course of boring work, to
cable or any other assets of DJB or other organizations, he will have to make good the damages at
his own cost. In case the cable of other underground utilities are damaged by the contractor, then
the amount which becomes payable to other organization will be deducted from the running bills.
xvii) The sub soil water level on the alignment is high therefore it may be required to lower down by
suitable method, so that work is executed in perfectly dry condition on complete alignment.

reasonable amount of items on (i)and (iv) above shall not be in excess of 2% of the cost of the
Works remaining incomplete on the date of closure, i.e., total stipulated cost of the Works as per
accepted tender less the cost of Works actually executed under the Contract. Provided always that
against any payments due to the Contractor on this account or otherwise, the Engineer-in-Charge
shall be entitled to recover or be credited with any outstanding balances due from the Contractor
for advance paid in respect of any tool, plants and materials and any other sums which at the date of
termination were recoverable by the Employer from the Contractor under the terms of the Contract.
13.3 Permissible variation in Cement & Steel
112
After completion of the Works, the theoretical quantity of cement/ steel to be used in Works shall be
calculated on the basis of statement showing quantity of cement/ steel to be used in different items of
Works as provided in Schedule of Rates. In case any item is executed for which the standard coefficient for
the consumption of cement/ steel are not available in the above mentioned statement or cannot be derived,
the same shall be calculated on the basis of analysis by the Engineer-in-Charge. Over this theoretical
quantity of cement/ steel, a variation up to 2% (two percent) and for steel, a variation up to 3% (three
percent) plus/minus for Works shall be allowed. In the event of it being discovered that the quantity of
cement/ steel used is less than the quantity required (allowing variation on the minus side as stipulated
