WBDPL/PP/T/PP-435/2021/21-22/E-160

i The BOQ to be filled up and upload is in form of Excel file in the BOQ folder
(Cover).

ii In BOQ, Bidders will quote total Project Cost (excluding O&M job) and
Total GST in INR for 7 MW Phase -2. Evaluation of L1 will be done
based on minimum base price of total project cost of Phase II (i.e.
excluding O&M job & total GST) quoted by the bidder during reverse e-
auction.

iii BOQ file consist of one worksheet with two part i.e. 1) Supply Schedule &
2) Erection Schedule

iv Filling up procedure-

a) Supply Schedule: To be filled up by the bidders. It is related to the


supply items as per ITB. 1.15.2.1. It is inclusive of Local
Transportation, Inland transit insurance, and other local cost
including Mandatory Spares.

b) Erection Schedule: To be filled up by the bidders. It is related to the


corresponding erection of the equipment and other service item of the
project as per ITB.1.15.2.2 including site insurance.

c) Bidders are advised to price their bids in such a manner that


Installation Price Component of the bid price (excluding
Civil/Structural works price) should not be less than 7% of total supply
price of Main Equipment.

d) Bidders are advised to price their bids in such a manner that the Civil
Works Price Component of the bid price (including Site Fabricated
Structural works price) should not be less than 12% of total supply
price of Main Equipment.

e) Mandatory spares component of each project should not be less than


1.0% of total project cost .

 Sample calculation of estimated Project cost and O&M cost:

Section-I Page 45
7 MWACP-II Ground mounted Solar PV System Installation at DPL
WBDPL/PP/T/PP-435/2021/21-22/E-160

Total estimated Project cost and Comprehensive O&M including GST = Rs. 10626.00
Lakh.

Say, estimated basic cost of project (excluding GST) = P (assume);

Estimated project cost including GST = 1.089P, where GST is 8.9% (GST will be
changed accordingly as per changes in guidelines)

Basic estimated comprehensive O&M cost for 5 years = 0.075P, (7.5% of basic project
cost)

Total estimated comprehensive O&M cost including GST = 0.075P x 1.18 = 0.0885P
(Where GST is 18%)

Total estimated Project cost including O&M and GST = 1.089P + 0.0885P = 1.1775P

Therefore,
1.775P = 10626.00

i.e. P = Rs. 9024.20 Lakh

Total estimated Project cost including GST = Rs. 9827.35 Lakh

Total estimated comprehensive O&M cost including GST = Rs. 798.64 Lakh
