Tender invited for Development of Train Collision Avoidance System

1. General:
1.1 The tender shall be governed by IRS Conditions, Instruction to Tenderers
(ITT), additional clauses extracted from General Conditions of the Contract
(GCC as Part I Sec IV) and Special Conditions of the Contract/tender (SCC).
Wherever Instruction to tenderers and SCC differ from IRS conditions of
contract, the provision of ITT and SCC shall prevail. Wherever Instruction to
tenderers and SCC differ from Part-GCC (Part I Sec IV), the provision of ITT
and SCC shall prevail. Wherever ITT differs from SCC, the provision of SCC
shall prevail. Wherever RDSO Specification given in Part-II Sec-I differs
from SCC, the provision of SCC shall prevail.
1.2 RDSO shall be associated for design, development and trial of Train
Collision Avoidance System with provision of multi-vendor
interoperability feature. The words “Tenderer and Vendor” have been used
interchangeably in this document and represent the same meaning.
1.3 For all the major bought out items/components, the essential details should be
given in the offer. The details must include – Name and Address of Original
Equipment Manufacturer, Model Number, Printed
Leaflet/Brochure/Literature for the concerned Model, mode & configuration
parameters setting for TCAS application and other essential Technical Details
including environmental conditions required for reliable and safe working.
1.4 The equipment shall be sturdy and reliable in operation and incorporate
components that can withstand the hostile environmental conditions of the
Engines and track such as Dust, Water, Fuel/Lubricating Oil, Extreme
Temperatures & Humidity as per Indian Weather and Electrostatic
Interferences. The Electromagnetic compatibility (both emission and
immunity levels) of the equipment shall be at such level so as to minimise
errors.
1.5 Technical requirement for the developmental work:
1.5.1 The purpose of the tender is to develop and carryout trials for Train Collision
Avoidance System (TCAS) and to develop multiple sources with
interoperable product.
1.5.2 RDSO’s specification for TCAS – RDSO/SPN/196/2012 ver.3.1.1 provides
detailed Functional Requirements, Technical requirements, and systems
requirements for interoperable multi-vendor product. As such, the equipment
to be developed and supplied should meet the requirements of above
specification, which might get modified to further version/ amendment,
retaining the same basic requirements, during course of development.
1.5.3 Since the product is being developed for the first time meeting the above
specification, some changes may be required while conducting either the
testing of the equipment in the lab or during the field trial or during
interoperability tests. These modifications shall be approved by RDSO and
firms will have to carry out necessary modifications to meet the above
changes without additional cost.
