Thebidders are also required tosubmit the performancecertificate of the contractsexecutedThe price bid should be in twoparts. One part would be the CIFPrices to be quoted by the OEM inforeign curreny for which thetendered payment terms shallapply. The other part shall be thecost of Inland Transportation, C &F charges at the port and othermisc. Charges that may beapplicable at the time of bringingthe vehicle from port to finaldestination payable to the IndianAuthorized Representative inINDIAN RUPEES. Since Importduties and taxes vary on currencyexchange rate as well as the dutystructure fixed by the CentralGovt., the same should not beincluded in the scope of thebidder. Therefore the Import Duty,CVD and other statutory chargespayable by an importer shall bedirectly paid to the customsdepartment by GSDMAPlease confirm that 12 similartypes would include any unitsstarting from 32 meters upto 70meters.The requirement of 70 meter unitis much lesser compared to theunits of lesser heights. Therefore12 supply references of 70 metershall be difficult to provide.If this condition is not accepted, itmay lead to a single vendorqualification which will not provideGSDMA with competitive biddingadvantage and therefore will be aloss of public money at large.The bidder will quote separate costfor vehicle i.e. CIF cost and cost inforeign currency for the otherservices in India to clear theconsignment from customs andPort.

No reduction inworking load from 500 Kgs shall be acceptablefor 68 meter cage bottom height when nomonitor is operatingWe request you to modify it to 150 Kgs.This may be modified to Max of 9.0 meters.Higher jacking spread is desired for a heavierunit in order to ensure stability at maximumheight.Since the 70 meter units do not have ladder,the words ”to enable a person climb downfrom the cage to the ladder on the secondboom” may please be deleted.Please modify it to 0 to +85 degrees providedall the other parameters are achieved.We do not understand why a very importantfeature such as ’Auto Levelling’ is to be left outof the Cordless Remote Control. Any reputedmanufacturer must be able to provide thisfeature on the cordless remote control.Out of all other functions, the Auto LevellingFunction is the utmost function that requires aCordless Remote Control.
