Tender invited for Development of Train Collision Avoidance System

himself with existing conditions on locomotives, such as space availability, EMC
issues, Power supply, any other required subsystem of locomotives having a bearing on
the performance of the TCAS system as specified in the special conditions of contract.
1903 It will be imperative on each tenderer to fully acquaint himself with all the local
conditions and factors which would have any effect on the- performance of the contract
and cost of the system. No request for the change of price or time schedule of delivery

reserves the right to accept or reject these deviations and his decision there-on shall be
final.
2100 DESIGN:
2101 The design of the equipment shall meet the specification of Train Collision Avoidance
System (TCAS), i.e., RDSO/SPN/196/2012 version 3.1.1 (As per bid document part-II)
and applicable international functional safety standards for railway signaling systems.
(EN50121/50125/50126/50128/50129/50159 –or-- their IEC equivalent
IEC62236/62498/62278/62279/62425/62280)
2102 Since interoperability between TCAS systems of different tenderers is a mandatory
requirement, no deviation from RDSO specification and tender documents would
generally be permitted except when such a requirement for deviation/ is identified as
unavoidable during the actual field trials of the system so as to preserve core
requirements of safety and functionality of the TCAS system.
2200 The Technical and Commercial Offer:-
2201 A brief outline of the system proposed along with diagrams and drawings, the
equipment and materials used in the system, cross-reference with the equipment
specifications.
2202 A Blank copy of Financial offer having all details quoted in Financial offer indicating
