1 RFP 1.8 Cl. 1.8 of Section-III: In
case of contractor fails to
achieve milestone no.2
(Supply milestone) by the
due date indicated in
“Time of Completion’ then
the Owner shall levy the
Liquidated Damages on
the Contractor at the rate
of 5% of total supply price
(Milestone no.2) inclusive
of taxes
Query 1 -The bidder understands
that beyond D+270 days, even a
delay of 1-day shall attract full
5% LD on total supply price.
Bidder feels that this should be
on pro-rata basis of undelivered
portion if applicable, please
clarify.
Query 2 -Also, please inform
whether LD on supply will be
applicable or not when already
5% LD on total contract price has
been levied on milestone 1,3,4 &
5. As above clauses indicate
double penalty on supply portion
a per current tender conditions,
hence we request MSPGCL to levy
LD only on delay in supply of
undelivered portion as per
milestone No. 2.
Query 3 -Penalty levied on delay in
Milestone No. 2 may be returned
to contractor if Commissioning is
achieved a per approved L-2
schedule. In any of the cases,
maximum LD should be limited to
5% of the contract price which is
as per industry practice.
