Invitation for ‘Expression of Interest’ (EoI) for Short-listing of Technology Suppliers for Technology Transfer for Setting up Pellet Plants in SAIL Plants

Invitation Notice No. CET-17(7)/03/02/CONT/NIT/355 Dated: 2nd July, 2012

1. BROAD OVERVIEW 1.1 Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has five Integrated Steel Plants in

India located at Bhilai, Rourkela, Bokaro, Durgapur and Burnpur. The iron ore requirement of the these steel plants is met from SAIL’s captive mines being managed by Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) and Raw Materials Division (RMD) headquartered at Kolkata.

Consequent upon the mammoth expansion program undertaken by SAIL, the raw material requirement shall increase manifold; accordingly, to meet the additional quantity and requisite quality of iron ore after expansion, RMD have launched mine augmentation program of SAIL captive mines both in terms of enhanced production and improved quality. Against this backdrop, it has been decided by SAIL to set up Pellet Plant of 4 Mtpa capacity at Gua Ore Mines for gainful utilization of the freshly generated fines as well as the low grade dump fines and rejects through beneficiation route. Further, SAIL intends to install 2 Mtpa Pellet Plant by usage of beneficiated iron ore fines at Rourkela Steel Plant. In addition to this, SAIL has planned to install Pellet Plants of suitable capacities at other steel plant locations using beneficiated iron ore fines from captive mines.

1.2 Centre for Engineering & Technology (CET), the in-house Consultancy Organisation of SAIL has been assigned the job of selection of a reputed Technology Supplier who will be willing to provide the latest and proven technology for installation of Pellet Plants of 2 Mtpa capacity and above. Technology Transfer for Pellet Plant is proposed to be carried out by the Technology Supplier and assimilated by CET through implementation of two projects.

1.3 Selection of Technology Supplier by CET shall be done as per following modalities:

• Expression of Interest (EoI) shall be sought from the designers of Pellet Plant with latest, proven and state of art technology who shall provide design & engineering services. The Technology Supplier shall also guarantee the performance parameters to be achieved after implementation of the technology provided by him.

• The EoI applications received from the interested Parties shall be short-listed based on assessment of their credentials as per specified Eligibility Criteria mentioned in this EoI document.


• CET shall issue Tender Document containing detailed scope of work and terms & conditions (technical and commercial) to the short listed parties for submission of their offers in two parts as follows:

- Techno-Commercial - Price Bid

• Technology Supplier shall be selected based on techno-commercial acceptability and on the lowest evaluated price basis.

• The Technology Supplier so selected through above process shall provide services for technology transfer as mentioned in para 2 below.

2. SCOPE OF WORK OF TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIER The scope of work of Technology Supplier for Pellet Plant shall cover:

- Technology Transfer for Pellet Plant including Raw Material preparation, Mixing & Balling, Complete Induration Machine (Travelling grate, Grate Kiln) with Pollution control facilities, control system, required software and models.

- The design & engineering provided by Technology Supplier will be used by SAIL on perpetual basis.

- Technology Transfer is proposed to be carried out by the Technology Supplier and assimilated by CET through implementation of two projects as per following modalities- First Project

• Preparation of Basic Engineering by Technology Supplier in association of CET Engineers

-

• Based on the Basic Engineering provided by the Technology Supplier, detailed engineering shall be done by CET which shall be reviewed by the Technology Supplier

Second Project

• Preparation of Basic Engineering by CET Engineers which shall be reviewed by Technology Supplier.

-

• Based on the Basic Engineering reviewed by the Technology Supplier, detailed engineering shall be done by CET (which need not be reviewed by the Technology Supplier).

- The Technology Supplier shall provide all inputs/ documents such as basic concepts (including layout), data, design calculations, software models pertaining to preparation of Basic Engineering so that from third project onwards, CET shall be able to prepare basic and detail engineering independently and without the help of Technology Supplier. Basic data/ design calculation provided by the Technology Supplier shall not be limited to 2 Mtpa capacity only but shall also cover higher capacities.

- The Technology Supplier shall also provide performance guarantee for agreed performance guarantee parameters.


- The Technology Supplier shall provide list of equipment, if any, to be included in his scope of supply in order to demonstrate performance guarantee parameters in an integrated manner for the above two projects.

- In case of any exigency, Technology Supplier shall depute their experts to India on Per diem rate basis to render additional technical assistance services in India for jobs not covered under the scope of work of Technology Supplier.

2.1 Technical Specifications for various packages shall be prepared by CET based on above methodology for both the projects and based on these Tender Specifications, respective Plants of SAIL will award the work for various packages to the package suppliers through competitive Bidding. The successful Technology Supplier and any of his affiliates, however, shall not be eligible to participate as tenderer in the tendering process for execution of various packages for Pellet Plant projects.

2.2 The Bidder shall submit detailed scope division matrix between him and SAIL in line with broad scope mentioned above for implementation of two projects.

3. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
