This Model Contract Document is to be used for the procurement of hybrid (i.e. partly on
lump sum basis and partly on item rate basis) type of civil works for maintenance of roads
through Competitive Bidding in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the

Government. This document is not suitable for only lump sum contracts without substantial
changes to the method of payment and price adjustment and to the Bill of Quantities,

schedule of activities and so forth.

Post qualification process may be followed for maintenance contracts.

The evaluation and qualification criteria has been provided to address this aspect

Broadly, the applicability of this document is for the scenarios mentioned below: -

i) The target highways (National Highways, State Highways) that could be

covered under the scope of the draft Model Contract Document must have
been either for the pavement that has been strengthened/its capacity
augmentation done and for which regular maintenance is required (including
PR type work, if necessary);

Or such highways which are not immediately being planned for strengthening
of payment/capacity augmentation, but are important from connectivity point
of view; therefore, their regular maintenance may be required for keeping
them traffic worthy for which short term regular planned maintenance may
be desirable;

Or highways which may be taken up for development/capacity augmentation

after 3-^5 years; highways important from connectivity point of view.

11) Most of such highways may not require initial Rehabilitation/Reinstatement

etc. Accordingly, such items of works may not be included in the scope of
the draft Contract Agreement. However, if necessary some such works
could be taken up under "Day Works" depending upon specific site/project
requirements.

iii) Virtually no User and Operation Services have been included under the
scope of work.

iv) The length of the highway to be taken up for Contract Maintenance may be
desirably between 40~1 00 km.

v) Duration of the Contract may var^' fro« n 3~5 years but shall not bo less then
3 years.

Introductory Guidarice Motes on the Use of

fVlode! Contract Docyment for ^ainteriaiice of Highways

These introductory guidance notes have been prepared to assist the 'Employer' in the
preparation, using the document, for the procurement of hybrid (i.e partly on lump sum
basis and partly on item rate basis) type of Civil Works for Road Maintenance Contracts.
The main objective of preparation of this document is to provide a uniform Bidding process
which can be used with minimum changes to suit the specific work requirements by the
various Road Authorities/Employer.

This document applies when selection of a Bidder (a Contractor) is determined on the

basis of the lowest evaluated Tender following a post-qualification process. In case, pre-
qualification has already taken place this document shall be modified to reflect any changes
needed as a result of the outcome of the pre-qualification process.

The document follows a single stage, two envelope Bidding procedure. In summary,
information relating to administrative legal and technical requirements is included in the
first envelope, with no price information. Information relating to price offer (including the
Bid and priced Bill of Quantities) are included in the second envelope. The Price offers of
only those Bidders (Contractors) who satisfy the eligibility and qualification requirements

stipulated in the Bidding Documents are opened to determine the lowest evaluated Bid.

Further, this document is intended for admeasurements contracts (unit prices or unit rates
in Bill of Quantities), which is most prevalent to preserve the road network together with its

assets.

Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the document against the
requirements of the specific works to be procured. The following directions should be
observed when using these documents:

a) All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for
the procurement of Works. However, they should be adapted as necessary
to the circumstances of a particular Contract. Such adaptations are limited

to Bid Notice, Instructions to Bidders, Special Conditions of Contract and

Road Maintenance Standards and Specifications.

b) The notes inside [italics] contain instructions for the user, as in the
introduction section also. They should not be incorporated in the Bidding
Document but shall be adopted to the requirements of the particular Bidding
Document. The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding
Documents as to the identification of the Project Roads, Contract, in
addition to date of issue.
 :

IRC:SP:95=2011

c) Other notes should be retained in the issued Bidding Documents, since

;:.>v, .
these notes provide important guidance to Bidders.

This document based on the current practices being followed by the various financing
is

agencies for such contracts with certain internationally acceptable Clauses and model
formats, which have been adapted to suit the particular needs of procurement within India.

This document has 09 (nine) Sections consists of 05 (five) Volumes. Section 2 (Instructions

to Bidders), Section 3 (Form of Bid Bank Guarantee) and Section 4 (Conditions of

&.

Contract, Part-i: GCC) shall not be altered. The Bid Notice is a sample of currently published
advertisement that provides relevant and essential information to help Bidders to decide
whether or not to participate in a particular Bid. This is provided in the document for
information only. .
.
^^-..v.-....'^^.., r.,--.'* i.,?..^..^.^.-,.^ ,-w

The way in which an Employer addresses its specific needs is through the information
provided in the Bid Data Sheet (BDS), the Evaluation and Qualification Criteria and the
Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) as well as in the detailed requirements of the
procurement Scope of Work and Specifications and/or the Drawings. Drawings
in the

Document when properly completed will provide all the information that a Bidder needs in

order to prepare and submit a Bid. This should provide a sound basis on which the Employer
can fairly, transparently and accurately carry out a Bid evaluation process on the Bids
submitted by the Bidders.

The following briefly describes the various Sections of the document and how an Employer
should use the document when preparing a particular Bidding Document. -
