Southern Railway is seeking bids in Chennai for rooftop solar projects

In order to install grid-connected rooftop solar power projects with a combined capacity of 1.55 MW at various service buildings and railway colonies in the Chennai division, the Southern Railway has requested bids.

The winning bidder will supervise the project's design, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.

The project is worth $1.19 million, or Rs 99.6 million. A Rs 648,000 earnest money deposit is required of bidders. Bids must be submitted by June 14, 2024.

The bidders were required to have finished either three comparable projects, each costing at least 30% of the tender's announced value, two comparable projects totalling 40% of the advertised value, or one comparable project spending 60% of the tender's advertised value in the last seven years.

The completion of work related to the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of solar PV power generating systems that account for at least 20% of the solar plant's tendered capacity to the federal government, state governments, public sector undertakings, or publicly traded companies with an average annual turnover of at least Rs 5 billion over the previous three fiscal years is referred to as "similar nature of work" in this context.

In addition, bidders need to demonstrate a minimum average contractual turnover of the tender's advertised value and the number of years required to complete the job for which bids are being solicited.

The winning bidder has 180 days from the contract's award date to finish the project. Entities or joint venture companies are eligible to bid.
