accordance with ITB 32 and ITB 36, no other methods, criteria and factors shall be used. The Bidder
shall provide all the information requested in the forms included in Section 4 (Bidding Forms).
Table of Criteria
1. Evaluation
In addition to the criteria listed in ITB 36.2 (a) – (e), other relevant factors are as follows:
None
Subject to ITB 14.2 and ITB 37.2, the evaluated cost of quantifiable nonconformities
including omissions, is determined as follows:
“Pursuant to ITB 31.3, the cost of all quantifiable nonmaterial nonconformities shall be evaluated,
including omissions in Daywork where competitively priced but excluding omission of prices in
the Bill of Quantities. The Employer will make its own assessment of the cost of any nonmaterial
nonconformities and omissions for the purpose of ensuring fair comparison of Bids.”
If any item is not quoted by the bidder, to this effect, the Bid Price will be adjusted, for
comparison purposes only, to reflect the price of a missing or non-conforming item or
component. For this purpose, the highest price quoted amongst the substantially responsive
bidders of that particular missing or non-conforming item would be added to the Bid Price to
arrive at the Evaluated Bid Price of the respective bidder. (In case all the bidders have not
quoted the particular item, then the Engineer’s Estimate for the particular item would be taken for
this purpose) However, it should be noted that this adjustment would be for comparison only and
the ‘Award Price’ to the successful bidder would be based on the Lowest Evaluated Bid Price
without the price adjusted for the purpose on non-conformities / errors / omissions. No separate
payment would be made to the missing or non-confirming item and it is deemed that contractor
would execute the missing / non-confirming item at the ‘Award Price’ (calculated without
adjustments of missing or non-confirming item or component) as mentioned above.

of prices thereafter shall be made using either (i) each index or price applicable on the date 49 days
prior to the expiry of the Time for Completion of the Design-Build works, or (ii) the current index or
price, whichever is more favorable to the Employer.
d. The weightings (coefficients) for each of the factors of cost stated in the table(s) of adjustment data

Throughout the maintenance period the contractor is required to deliver the specified water supply
services (flow, pressure and quality), maintain the water supply network and also to maintain non-
revenue water (NRW) below 15%. Maintaining NRW forms one of the contractor’s performance
outcomes. The methodology for the periodic calculation of NRW is not included in this section.
Within its overall maintenance responsibility, the Contractor is required to undertake the following
NRW maintenance activities. The undertaking of these NRW maintenance activities is essential if
NRW is to be truly maintained below 15%. The Contractor will be required to report on the NRW
maintenance activities undertaken in its monthly report.
1. Ensure that all meters are read monthly and that the data is accurately recorded in a
consumer meter reading database (or consumer billing system). Both current and historic
meter reads are to be retained.
Meters are to be read using a hand-held electronic device and the data is to be uploaded into the
meter reading database within two days of being read. When uploaded the data is to be compared to
previously recorded meter reading data and readings that are outside of a ten percent envelope of
what would be expected are to be flagged for investigation. A work order is to be raised for each
investigation. When executed the results of the investigation and any ensuing actions are to be
recorded in the maintenance management system and the meter reading database.
If a meter is unable to be read this fact is to be noted and a work order issued to address the
problem. The required action may be to relocate the meter to a place where is can be easily read, or
to improve access to the existing meter. Once the problem is rectified the meter is to be read and the
reading uploaded into the meter reading database. An estimate is to be made of the water used
between the last successful meter reading and this new meter read and stored in the meter reading
database. In extreme cases where a meter cannot be read despite persistent attempts to do so a new
property connection may need to be installed or alternatively an AMR meter installed. In these latter
two cases these will require the approval of the Employer and will be to the cost of the Employer.
Meters are read monthly and where meters are read throughout a month in a cyclical manner
successive meter reads must be undertaken within a window of twenty days to forty days from the
previous meter reads.
2. Ensure all property connections are metered.
The Contractor is to inspect all distribution pipelines every 2 years by walking the pipeline routes.
During these inspections the Contractor is to carry a list of properties being provided with water in
electronic form. The Contractor is to randomly examine at least 50% of the above ground
components of the property connections to these properties and note any that do not have a meter,
any that have a non-functioning meter and any that have a bypassed meter. Subsequently the
Contractor is to raise a work order to address the problem (install a meter, replace a meter or
reconnect the meter) within two days of identifying the missing meter. The Contractor is to ensure the
action taken is recorded in the meter reading database and the work order is closed in the
maintenance management system.
3. Ensure there are no unauthorised connections.
The Contractor is to inspect all distribution pipelines every 2 years by walking the pipeline
routes. During these inspections the Contractor is to carry a list of properties being
provided with water in electronic form. The Contractor is to randomly examine at least
50% of the above ground components of the property connections to all properties and
(1) note any that are not on the list of properties being supplied with water, (2) note any
that have a meter bypass pipe installed, and (3) note any that are not on the list of
authorised connections. These are to be referred to the Engineer for resolution.
Resolution options may include (1) removal of the connection, (2) authorising the
connection and installing a meter, (3) repairing the existing connection, or (4)
reconnecting a bypassed meter. The Contractor is to raise a work order for any of these
actions and ensure the problem is rectified within two days of receiving an authority from
the Engineer to proceed. The Contractor is to ensure each new meter, new property
connection, or meter reconnection is recorded in the meter reading database and the
work order is closed in the maintenance management system.
4. Only use electronic means to collect, store and transfer data.
Meter reading data is to be collected using a hand-held device and the collected data
transferred by electronic means to the meter reading database. Any data transfers
between business systems are also to be undertaken electronically. The stored electronic
data is to be made secure from external or illegal access and backed up on a daily basis.
The recording of data in paper form is not permitted. Data recording, data storage and
data back-up are to be supported by an uninterrupted power supply.
5. Ensure meters are sampled and tested.
Meters are to be sampled and tested in accordance with the Indian metering standard
BIS IS 779:1994 (R2004) Specification for Water Meters (domestic type) as per number
to be sampled and frequency of sampling. Each meter testing must have its own work
order for job tracking and reporting purposes. Meters are to be removed for sending to a
testing laboratory and a new meter installed in its place. Meter readings of both the old
and new meters are to be taken at the time of the changeover of the meter and recorded
in the meter reading database. The results of the testing are to be provided to the
Employer for analysis which will assist in determining the accuracy of NRW calculations
and setting meter replacement programs. At the completion of a work order the
Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management system is updated and the work
order is closed.
6. Renew all defective consumer meters.
As a result of pipeline inspections, notifications from consumers or meter readers, or
meter sampling and testing, work orders will be raised to replace defective meters and
these are to be executed within 3 days of receipt. The Contractor is to ensure the meter
reading database is immediately updated when a defective meter is replaced. At the
completion of the work orders the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management
system is updated and the work orders closed.
7. Collect and provide leakage data.
The Contractor is to use the maintenance management system to record each leak. The
data recorded is to include the location and geo-coordinates of the leak, the pipeline
(material, diameter or reference a pipeline identifier in an asset register), a description of
the leak including its size and a possible cause of the leak; all in a standard format. This
data is to be provided monthly to the employer in spreadsheet form for analysis within
7days from the end of the month.
8. Collect and provide consumer feedback.
The Contractor is to record each consumer contact (such as walk-in, phone call, email,
SMS or web entry) in its consumer contact management system. The consumer contacts
will cover a range of issues such as water quality, low pressure, water off, property
connection or pipeline leak, defective meter, offensive meter readers, disruption due to
Contractor’s works and so on. A number of these contacts will relate to NRW. These
contacts are to be collated and provided to the Employer in spreadsheet form on a
monthly basis for analysis within 7 days from the end of the month.
9. Maintain distribution pressure below a set value.
Pressure monitors are to be installed in locations of high pressure within the water supply
network (as determined from the hydraulic modelling) and connected to the SCACA
system. Where DMAs are used there must be at least one high pressure monitor per
DMA (this is not to be confused with pressure monitors installed to monitor low
pressures). The SCADA system is to be programmed to alarm each time the pressure
rises beyond 22m. When an alarm is raised, a work order is to be immediately raised to
investigate the cause of the high-pressure alarm and as a result recommend steps to be
taken to ensure that the pressure will not exceed the set value in the future. These steps
may include the installation of additional flow control devices or the throttling of valves.
The recommendations from the investigation are to be submitted to the Employer and
when approved they must be implemented within 7days using a work order raised in the
maintenance management system. Where the recommendations are not the result of a
design flaw or poor construction their implementation will be funded by the Employer. At
the completion of the work order the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance
management system is updated and the work order is closed.
10. Continuously undertake random transient monitoring.
A pipeline pressure-transient monitor and data logger is to be purchased and placed at
different locations within the pipeline network every 4 weeks (or at other frequencies as
directed by the Engineer). The frequency of the pressure-transient monitor is to be set to
a minimum of 25 Hz (25 readings per second) with a tolerance setting of ±5 kPa.
Preference is to be given to locations such as bulk water off takes, off takes feeding
consumer pumps, off takes feeding consumer storages and immediately downstream of
pump stations. The collected data is to be examined and where transients are detected
these are to be referred to the Employer for review. Resulting actions are to be
undertaken as directed by the Employer. Where these actions require capital works these
will be to the cost of the Employer. Where the transient is entering the network from a
consumer’s property the Employer will assist the Contractor in addressing the removal of
the cause of the transient. Work orders are to be raised using the maintenance
management system for all resulting actions. At the completion of the work order the
Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management system is updated and the work
orders are closed.
11. Measure flows and pressures.
Flow and pressure monitors are installed through the water supply network. Amongst
other uses this data is to be collected for the purpose of calculating NRW. Overtime a
pattern of flow or pressure will emerge at each meter location and geo-coordinates. The
SCADA system is to be used to monitor flows and pressures against these patterns and
alarm when a reading falls outside of a ten percent envelope around each pattern. When
an alarm occurs, a work order is to be raised to investigate the abnormal reading and
determine whether the reading is caused by a fault or is a natural occurrence. Where a
fault has occurred, the work order is to be upgraded and remedial actions initiated. When
approved by the Employer the resulting action is to be completed by the Contractor within
7days. When the resulting action is not the result of a design flaw or poor construction its
implementation will be funded by the Employer. Work orders are to be raised using the
maintenance management system for all remedial actions. At the completion of the work
order the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management system is updated and
the work orders are closed.
12. Undertake leak detection of all pipelines.
The Contractor is to undertake leak detection of all pipes every years. When a leak is
detected, a work order is to be raised and the leak repaired within 3 days (also see
‘Repair Leaks’). At the completion of a leak detection work order the Contractor is to
ensure the maintenance management system is updated and the work order is closed.
13. Undertake leak detection of critical pipelines.
The Contractor is to undertake leak detection of all critical pipes every years. A critical
pipe is a pipe that exclusively supplies 50 or more connections or exclusively supplies a
high-profile consumer (such as a hospital). When a leak is detected, a work order is to be
raised and the leak repaired within 3 days (also see ‘Repair Leaks’). At the completion of
a leak detection work order the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management
system is updated and the work order is closed.
and the leak immediately repaired (see ‘Repair Leak’) before the ground is closed. At the
completion of the work order the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management
system is updated and open work orders are closed.
19. Maintain level sensors and control systems at storages.
Level sensors are to be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
The maintenance specifications are to be included in the maintenance management
system at part of the preventative maintenance program. Any warranty conditions are
also to be satisfied. Work orders should be automatically triggered at set dates. At the
completion of the work orders the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance management
system is updated and the work orders are closed.
The SCADA system controlling the filling of the storage must alert when the storage is
approaching full and alarm if the storage is exceeded. The storage filling control system is
to be programmed to prevent such an occurrence. When a storage alarm is triggered, a
priority one work order must be immediately generated and sent to maintenance staff for
immediate action. The fault is in the control system is to be rectified under the same work
order. At the completion of the work order the Contractor is to ensure the maintenance
management system is updated and the work order is closed.
20. Maintain flow meters, pressure monitors and transient monitors.
Flow meters and pressure monitors are to be maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications. The maintenance specifications are to be included in the
maintenance management system at part of the preventative maintenance program. Any
warranty conditions are also to be satisfied. Work orders should be automatically
triggered at set dates. At the completion of the work orders the Contractor is to ensure the
maintenance management system is updated and the work orders are closed.
21. Repair defective service connections.
