provisions of the laws of that country. This criterion shall also
apply to the determination of the nationality of proposed
subcontractors or suppliers for any part of the Contract including

4.3 Employer considers a conflict of interest to be a situation in
which a party has interests that could improperly influence that

constitute a prohibited practice under Anticorruption Policy. In
pursuance of Anticorruption Policy’s requirement that

1. Evaluation
In addition to the criteria listed in ITB 32 the following criteria shall apply:
1.1 Adequacy of Technical Proposal
Evaluation of the Bidder's Technical Proposal will include an assessment of the Bidder's
technical capacity to mobilize key equipment and personnel for the contract consistent
with its proposal regarding work methods, scheduling, and material sourcing in
sufficient detail and fully in accordance with the requirements stipulated in Section 5
(Works Requirements).
1.2. Quantifiable Nonconformities, Errors and Omissions
The evaluated cost of quantifiable non-conformities, errors and omissions is determined
as follows:
a) 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 / nonconforming item at the ‘Award Price’ (calculated without adjustments of
missing or non-confirming item or component) as mentioned above.
b) If different rates are quoted for the same specifications of work under identical working
conditions at the same site( one school) in different appendices of the Bill of Quantities,
for comparison purpose, while arriving at the ‘Lowest Evaluated Bid Price’, the lowest
rate quoted by the contractor amongst the different appendices for that item would be
considered for evaluation and comparison purpose and the ‘Award Price’ to the
successful bidder would be calculated considering the same lowest rate quoted by the
contractor amongst different appendices in the Bill of Quantities for that item,” and the
payment also would also be for the lowest rate quoted for that item among all the
appendices.

5.1.1 Project Location
GHSS School is located at a distance of 30 km from Thrissur district headquarters.
The nearest national highway is 10km from the school. The nearest town is Kodakara
which is 10km from the school. The school is located at 190m from Kodakara road
and can be accessed easily as there are ample buses plying to and fro in the locale.
Nearest bus stop is at 150m from the school
5.1.2 Soil and Terrain
The soils in Thrissur district have been classified in the following types, based on the
morphological features and physiochemical properties
The laterite Soil:
The predominant soil type observed is the lateritic soil, which covers almost the entire
midland areas of the district. These soils are in general well drained, low in essential
plant nutrients and organic matter. They exhibit very low cation exchange capacity
and are generally acidic.
Brown hydromorphic soils:
The second prominent soil type is the brown hydromorphic soil. These are confined to
the valleys between undulating topography in the midlands and in the low lying areas
of the coastal strip in the district. These have been formed as a result of transportation
and sedimentations of materials from adjoining hill slopes and also by deposition from
rivers. The soils are very deep and brownish in colour. The surface texture varies from
sandy loam to clay.
Hydromorphic Saline Soils:
Very small patches of hydromorphic saline soils are found in the coastal tracts of the
district. They are brownish, deep and imperfectly drained, showing wide variation in
Section-5: Work Requirements Tender No. KITE/CLUSTER-14/01
Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education 6
texture. In the estuarine areas of the district, these soils are found with wide
fluctuations in the intensity of salinity.
Coastal Alluvium:
These soils are seen on the coastal tracts stretching from Kodungallur to Chettuvai.
These have been developed from recent marine deposits with a texture dominated by
partially sorted sand fraction. They are excessively drained with very rapid
permeability. Water holding capacity of these soils is low.
Riverine Alluvium:
These soils consist of moderately well drained and distributed mainly on the banks of
rivers and their tributaries. They are light to medium textured with good physical
properties and contain organic matter, nitrogen and potash moderately. They show
wide variations in their physic chemical properties. They are very deep soils with
surface texture ranging from sandy loam to clayey loam, predominated by the fine
sand fractions.
Forest Loamy Soil:
These soils are found in the south-eastern hilly areas of the district, bordering Tamil
Nadu. These are characterized by a surface layer very rich in organic matter. They are
dark reddish brown to black with loam to silty loam texture. The soils are generally
acidic.

Kunnamkulam.
5.2.2 Soil and Terrain
Government Higher Secondary School, Varavoor is situated in the midland area of the
district. The school is having an almost flat terrain with slight undulations. At certain
places in the main campus there is a contour difference of 1m. The school ground is
100 m away from the school campus. This is at slightly higher level than the school
compound. The soils in Thrissur district have been classified in the following types,
based on the morphological features and physiochemical properties. The laterite Soil:
The predominant soil type observed is the lateritic soil, which covers almost the entire
midland areas of the district. These soils are in general well drained, low in essential
plant nutrients and organic matter. They exhibit very low action exchange capacity
and are generally acidic Brown hydromorphic soils: The second prominent soil type is

5.2.3 Soil Investigation Report
G.H.S.S., Varavoor is situated in a midland area. This is in the Northern part of the
Thrissur district. The soil found in the school was of lateritic type. Due to non-
availability of soil reports for the exact location in the campus, a bearing capacity of
200 kN/m2 is assumed for foundation design. Shallow foundation like individual
footings, strip footings or raft foundations is adopted for the buildings. These
recommendations are prepared with the presumption that the execution of foundation
will be done by experienced contractors as per latest revision of all relevant is codes
of practices. This recommendation is prepared based on the assumptions considering
the overall geography of the region available to us and any change in strata observed
during actual execution, other than what is given in this report shall be referred to the
Consultants. One or more test piles depending on the extent of the building shall be
done to ascertain the capacities worked out above. In addition a routine load less on
1% of the working piles also shall be done.
5.2.4 Existing Infra Structure
G.H.S.S., Varavoor is having a total area of 2.058 hectares. The school has a total of
12 buildings and several scattered toilet blocks. There are 11 academic buildings in
the campus. These include H.S.S. blocks, H.S. blocks, U.P. blocks, Lab and library

The soils in Thrissur district have been classified in the following types, based on the
morphological features and physiochemical properties
Section-5: Work Requirements Tender No. KITE/CLUSTER-14/01
Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education 10
The laterite Soil:
The predominant soil type observed is the lateritic soil, which covers almost the entire
midland areas of the district. These soils are in general well drained, low in essential
plant nutrients and organic matter. They exhibit very low cation exchange capacity
and are generally acidic.
Brown hydromorphic soils:
The second prominent soil type is the brown hydromorphic soil. These are confined to
the valleys between undulating topography in the midlands and in the low lying areas
of the coastal strip in the district. These have been formed as a result of transportation
and sedimentations of materials from adjoining hill slopes and also by deposition from
rivers. The soils are very deep and brownish in colour. The surface texture varies from
sandy loam to clay.
Hydromorphic Saline Soils:
Very small patches of hydromorphic saline soils are found in the coastal tracts of the
district. They are brownish, deep and imperfectly drained, showing wide variation in
texture. In the estuarine areas of the district, these soils are found with wide
fluctuations in the intensity of salinity.
Coastal Alluvium:
These soils are seen on the coastal tracts stretching from Kodungallur to Chettuvai.
These have been developed from recent marine deposits with a texture dominated by
partially sorted sand fraction. They are excessively drained with very rapid
permeability. Water holding capacity of these soils is low.
Riverine Alluvium:
These soils consist of moderately well drained and distributed mainly on the banks of
rivers and their tributaries. They are light to medium textured with good physical
properties and contain organic matter, nitrogen and potash moderately. They show
wide variations in their physic chemical properties. They are very deep soils with
surface texture ranging from sandy loam to clayey loam, predominated by the fine
sand fractions.
Forest Loamy Soil:
These soils are found in the south-eastern hilly areas of the district, bordering Tamil
Nadu. These are characterized by a surface layer very rich in organic matter. They are
dark reddish brown to black with loam to silty loam texture. The soils are generally
acidic.
5.3.3 Soil Investigation Report
Due to non-availability of soil data, the nature of soil was assessed in the primary
survey. Data about the foundation provided for the adjacent buildings were also
collected. A bearing capacity of 200 kN/sqm is assumed for foundation design.
Shallow foundation like individual footings, strip footings or raft foundations is
adopted for the buildings.

construction. The procedure for the demolishing of their structures are:
1. The Head Master of the school shall obtain approval from the concerned Corporation /
Municipality/District Panchayath, as the case may be. Simultaneously, the valuation of
these buildings will be done by the concerned LSGD Division and the Executive Engineer
would issue valuation certificate indicating the present value of the structure, after
depreciation. This process has already been initiated and the same is expected to be
implemented by February, 2018 in all schools.
2. Before commencement of the work the Project Manager will intimate the value of the
structure to be demolished to the selected Contractor. On receipt of intimation, the
Contractor will immediately deposit the value as fixed by LSGD with the Employer. The
Project Manager, within not or more than 5 days,shall confirm the receipt of the same and
will ask the Contractor to take possession of such structures. Thereafter, the Contractor
will soon demolish the structures and shall take possession of the debris and other material
from the demolished structures and shall clear the site for new construction. In case, the
value of present structure is zero due to dilapidated condition and old age of the structure,
the Contractor will be asked to demolish the same at agreed rates, if there is any in the
BOQ or as extra claim as per conditions laid down in the bid document/Agreement and will
be paid along with the bills for the new construction.

per terms of the contract, the Project Manager will consider the
Section-6: General Conditions of Contract (GCC) Tender No. KITE/CLUSTER-14/01
+Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education 9
following before according approval:
- The contractor shall not sublet the whole of the work
- The contractor shall not sub-contract any part of the work
without prior consent of the Project Manager. Any such
consent shall not relieve the contractor from any liability
or the obligations under the contract and he shall be
responsible for the acts, defaults and neglects of the
subcontractor, his agents or workmen as fully as if they
were acts, defaults or neglects of the Contractors, his
agents or workmen.
- The Project Manager should satisfy whether (a) the
circumstances warrant such subcontracting; and (b) he
sub-contractors so proposed for the work possess the
experience, qualifications and equipment necessary for the
job proposed to be entrusted to them in proportion to the
quantum of work to be subcontracted.
Note: Sub Contracting for certain specialized elements or works is
acceptable for carrying out the works more effectively; but
vertical splitting of the works for subcontracting is not acceptable.
a) All bidders are expected to indicate clearly in the bid, if they
propose subcontracting elements of the works amounting to
more than 20% of their quoted price. For each such
proposal the qualification and experience of the identified
sub contractor in the relevant field should be furnished along
with the bid to enable the employer to satisfy himself about
their qualifications before agreeing for such subcontracting
and include it in the contract. In view of the above, normally
no additional subcontracting should arise during the
execution of the contract.
b) However subcontracting for certain specialized elements or
works is not unusual and acceptable for carrying out the
works more effectively; but vertical splitting of works for
subcontracting is not acceptable. In any case, proposal for
subcontracting in addition to what was specified in the bid
and stated in the contract agreement will not be acceptable if
the value of such additional subcontracting exceeds 25 % of
the value of work which was to be executed by the
contractor without sub-contracting.
