Latest power sector tenders such as this require contractors to assess both technical qualifications and pre-award commitment. POWERGRID requires an exclusive MOU before its tariff bid is submitted, while the construction package is conditional on POWERGRID winning the upstream tariff competition.
The scope includes route alignment, profiling, tower spotting, geotechnical investigation, foundations, tower supply and erection, conductor stringing, testing and commissioning. Earth wire, insulators, hardware, tower earthing and OPGW are included, along with fibre splicing, termination and acceptance documentation.
The tender contains a specific construction-method restriction: “No tractor shall be allowed for tower erection.” Cranes are required wherever feasible, with power-operated winches permitted where crane access is impracticable. Heavy-duty composite mats for difficult terrain are also contractor responsibilities.
Latest power sector tenders require close assessment of these access and equipment costs because they can affect construction productivity. Qualification requires relevant 345 kV double-circuit-or-higher construction experience, positive net worth, Rs 352.36 crore average annual turnover and Rs 58.73 crore liquid assets or credit access.
Qualifying start-ups and MSEs may meet 80% of the turnover and liquidity thresholds, subject to the stated technical and net-worth conditions.
