Technical

Evaluation

PMU Team

Experience and 55

marks allotted to PMU

team: As brought out in

RFP presently EV in

India is less than 1%,

which shows that E

Mobility is in nascent

stage in India.

Ministry of Power has

also recently in

December’2018 viz.

about 4 months back

have come out with

Guidelines & standards

on EV charging

infrastructure. Keeping

in view of above, we feel

that PMU team leader

and team members

having exclusive

experience of 6 years

In terms of RfP, manpower

quality & experience shall

be given the maximum

weightage as the scope of

RfP is majorly for hiring

manpower for PMU.

done specifically

number of Projects when

EV in India is at nascent

stage, will restrict the

prospective bidders to

qualify and competition.

For satisfactory

performance of PMU

team, it will be the sole

responsibility of

Company’s/Firm’s

experience and their

strong capabilities,

which plays an

important part. We

therefore request BEE

to consider suitably to

modify the experience

criteria including

number of projects for

the PMU team and also

reduce the marks

accordingly to

encourage competition

so that a greater number

of bidders can

participate in this bid. As

Company/ Firm is sole

responsible for the

performance of PMU

team, Firms experience

be given more

weightage and marks

accordingly.

Experience requirement

seems to be stringent and

would discourage ample

bidding. Since E-

Mobility is in nascent

stage in India, it may be

very rare to find

experienced persons in

this

domain.

Suggestion: the required

team experience should

be in

related and broader areas

such as Energy and

Transport

Marks Allocated:

Currently, 55 marks are

allocated to PMU team

(including qualification

and experience).

Our suggestion is that it

should be reduced

because, onus on firm is

more than team

member’s

responsibilities.

Additional queries:

• Is it permissible that

the three designated

PMU

members can be

appointed on contract by

the PMU firm?

• Kindly clarify whether

CVs of only three

proposed PMU members

will be evaluated or CVs

of other members in the

firm be also considered?

• The experience of

charging infrastructure

& related standards /

equipment standards be

removed from this as

this is not in scope of

work of the assignment

anyway. Moreover, this

experience is also

technical in nature and

beyond the ToR of the

assignment.
