We would like to highlight that among the approved

We therefore request you to kindly also consider the

measures through an online manufacturing process.

Also we would like to highlight that that on site

longitudinally circumferential welding process being

outdated has largely gone out of use in the last

decade, thereby leady to a paucity of reputed vendorswho are meeting the suggested PQ criteria, thereby

further restricting the participation of competent pipe

manufacturers who are capable to carry out a

prestigious project of such high magnitude. Needless

to say, the restriction in competition can also lead to

increased prices.

With this in view, tender specifications for some time

now across the country and also in Maharashtra

(Example: Bhama Askhed Water Supply Project, PMC,

Pune) are insisting only for spirally welded pipes. Also

obtaining necessary BIS licenses is also a time

consuming process, which can lead to unnecessary

clause no. 9 of Detailed Tender Notice –

Work Experience

As every project will not consists of all the components

i.e. WTP, Pipeline, Head works, Pumping Stations, etc.

it is normal practice in most of the similar organizations

of other states to consider atleast two out of four

components to quality for the project. Also it’s a normal

practice to consider till preceding financial year for

qualification purpose.

Hence, we request you to kindly modify the criteria as

below:

Other Conditions.

The basic objective of any prequalification process is

to thoroughly evaluate the financial capability/

soundness of the bidders to smoothly execute the

project. The profitability criteria stipulated into bid asloss in 2 years of last three years do not give the

correct picture of this.

It is widely acknowledged that business can run into

profit or loss in short term depending upon how

conducive the Economic conditions and Industry

environment turn out to be. Firms which have been

profitable in recent past may run into losses after

successful prequalification OR during execution of

work if project is awarded. Companies which operate

based on sound financial principles will tide over such

temporary setbacks and emerge stronger in the long

run.

It is precisely for this reason that Indian Govt. and multi

lateral funding agencies like World Bank / ADB do not

stipulate Profitability as a qualification criteria. The

financial capability and long term financial

soundness is evaluated in terms of Net Worth or

Fund & Non-fund based limits from the bidder's

bankers.

The said clause in subject tenders is on extreme side

and is nowhere earlier used in India (not even in CVC

guidelines).Technical and financial prequalification criteria's,

cooupled with financial securities, credit facilities and

assured performance guarantee ensure financial

security of the project to the client.

We request you to assess the profitability of the Bidder

for the last five years instead of only three years and

request you to modify the criteria such that bidders

having positive "profit before tax" for at least three

years in the last five years immediately preceding the

bid date shall qualify for bidding.
