The tender invites online bids from eligible bidders on Single Stage Two Envelope (i.e. Envelope-I: Techno-Commercial Bid and Envelope-II: Price Bid) basis for EPC package for development of 795 MW viz. 2x275MW + 1x245MW solar PV projects at Khavda RE power park, Rann of Kutch.
The bidding documents are available for download from July 16, 2024, to July 26, 2024. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 30, 2024, to address queries from prospective bidders. The deadline for bid submissions is August 13, 2024, with the opening of techno-commercial bids set for the same day. The cost of the bidding documents is INR 22,500.
The project’s scope is comprehensive, covering design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning of the solar PV plant, including the supply of solar PV modules. This also entails site preparation activities such as grading, vegetation clearing, topographical surveys, and geotechnical investigations.
Additionally, it requires the construction of foundations and tracker-based module mounting structures (MMS), installation of PV modules, and the arrangement of power and water supply for construction purposes.
Moreover, the project includes the construction of pre-engineered inverter rooms or HT switchgear rooms, depending on the type of inverter used, and all associated electrical and civil works required for grid interfacing. This involves laying and terminating HT cables, constructing internal roads and drainage systems, and installing a module cleaning system using a robotic dry-cleaning method designed for a 25-year lifespan in a C4 corrosion environment.
However, a notable requirement is the installation of a SCADA system for remote monitoring and control of inverters, as well as the implementation of dynamic reactive power compensation equipment to ensure compliance with grid connectivity standards. The comprehensive operation and maintenance of the SPV plant, along with the supply of necessary spare parts, will be required for three years following the commissioning of the full project capacity.
The bidders must accompany their submissions with a bid security ranging from INR 10 crore for a single block of 245 MW to INR 50 crore for the full 795 MW project. The bid security ensures the bidder’s commitment and is a critical part of the tender process.
To qualify, bidders must meet stringent technical and financial criteria. Technically, bidders should have experience in designing, supplying, erecting, and commissioning SPV plants with a cumulative capacity of at least 40 MWp, including a plant of at least 10 MWp in operation for six months. Alternatively, bidders can qualify if they have developed SPV plants meeting these criteria or have executed industrial projects in related sectors with specific financial figures.
Bidders must demonstrate an average annual turnover corresponding to the capacity they are bidding for, with net worth requirements ensuring financial stability. Specific criteria allow for combined financial strength in cases where the bidder alone does not meet the requirements.
