Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the Sub Divisional Project Manager under APSC Authority entails critical financial parameters strictly governed by GFR 2017 and GeM standards. The estimated contract valuation must factor in professional resource deployment overheads. The Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is mandated at 2 percent of the estimated cost to deter frivolous bids, payable via demand draft or bank guarantee. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure faithful execution. A nominal non-refundable tender document fee applies unless exempted. Furthermore, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent, ensuring timely project completion and accountability.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising from execution shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters will be referred to arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the designated authority seat. Payments are structured via milestone billing linked to verified deliverables and progress reports certified by the APSC Authority. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies post-completion to rectify any operational or structural anomalies. Additionally, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices and establishing strict oversight mechanisms throughout the contract lifecycle.
