otherwise the aggregate of the Net
Working Capital and submitted
Banking reference(s) will be
considered for working out the

member should satisfy the
requirement for his portion.
Example: Let member-1 has
percentage participation = M and
member-2 has percentage
participation = N. If minimum
working capital required is ‘W’
then working capital of member-1
≥ (W.M)/100 and working capital
of member-2 ≥ (W.N)/100.

Where,
SECTION

A = Maximum of the value of

compounded annually for Indian
project and 2% for foreign project.)
N = Number of years prescribed for
completion of the present work
B = Value of existing commitments
as on first day of the month of this
Bid submission i.e. for on-going
construction works during next 134
weeks. Proportionate value will be
taken if it falls during the financial
year.
Note:
1. The available bid capacity
should be more than the INR
455.3 Million.
2. A certificate issued from a
chartered accountant
certifying A and B value must
be enclosed with the Technical

In Case of JV/JVA/ Consortium,

the
algebraic sum total of Net Worth of
all the members as per the latest

considered the Net Worth of the
tenderer.
Example: IF Member – 1 has
Member – 2 has percentage
SECTION

participation = N, and the Net
worth
of Member – 1 be ‘A’ and that of
Member – 2 be ‘B’, then,
Net worth of the tenderer = (AM +

Note:
The transformers shall be designed for minimum losses,
When comparing between different tenders the present value of the capitalized cost of losses
in the transformers shall be added to their financial bid by the following formula
PW= K*365*24*C (Wir+b2Wcu)/1000
Where
- PW is the present worth (in IR) of annual capitalized cost of losses at 8% rate of
interest over 25 years.
- K is the present worth factor (8% interest ,25 years)= {(1+0.08)25-
1}/{0.08*(1+0.08)25}= 10.675
- C is the cost of the kWh (in Indian Rupees) which is equal to 4.35 INR
- Wir is the iron losses in Watts at normal voltage and main tapping
- Wcu is the full load copper losses in Watts at normal voltage and main tapping at
95°C
- b is the load factor of transformer =50%
Thus
PW=10.675*365*24*C(Wir + b2Wcu)/1000
PW= 93.51*C* (Wir +0.25 Wcu)
In case the transformer losses during tests are found greater than the values guaranteed
in the offer, a consolidated penalty shall be paid by the contractor,according to the
following formula.

93.51*4.35*(d Wir+0.25* dWcu)
Where:
- d Wir and d Wcu are the differences between the test values of iron losses at full
voltage and copper losses at full load on one transformer at main tapping and the
values guaranteed in the offer.

Section VI.
Corrupt and Fraudulent Practices – Social and

1. Corrupt and Fraudulent Practices

The Contracting Authority and the suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, consultants or
subconsultants must observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement process
and performance of the contract. The Contracting Authority means the Purchaser, the
Employer, the Client, as the case may be, for the procurement of goods, works, plants,
consulting services or non-consulting services.
By signing the Statement of Integrity the suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, consultants
or subconsultants declare that (i) “it did not engage in any practice likely to influence the
contract award process to the Contracting Authority’s detriment, and that it did not and will
not get involved in any anti-competitive practice”, and that (ii) “the procurement process and
the performance of the contract did not and shall not give rise to any act of corruption or
fraud”.
Moreover, the AFD requires including in the Procurement Documents and AFD-financed
contracts a provision requiring that suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, consultants or
subconsultants will permit the AFD to inspect their accounts and records relating to the
procurement process and performance of the AFD-financed contract, and to have them
audited by auditors appointed by the AFD.
The AFD reserves the right to take any action it deems appropriate to check that these ethics
rules are observed and reserves, in particular, the rights to:
(a) Reject a proposal for a contract award if it is established that during the selection
process the Bidder or consultant that is recommended for the award has been convicted
of corruption, directly or by means of an agent, or has engaged in fraud or anti-
competitive practices in view of being awarded the Contract;
(b) Declare misprocurement when it is established that, at any time, the Contracting
Authority, the suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, consultants or subconsultants their
representatives have engaged in acts of corruption, fraud or anti-competitive practices
during the procurement process or performance of the contract without the Contracting
Authority having taken appropriate action in due time satisfactory to the AFD to
remedy the situation, including by failing to inform the AFD at the time they knew of
such practices.
The AFD defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows :
KOCHI METRO RAIL LIMTED Page 1 of 3

(a) Corruption of a Public Officer means:

(i) The act of promising, offering or giving to a Public Officer, directly or indirectly, an
undue advantage of any kind for himself or for another person or entity, for such
Public Officer to act or refrain from acting in his official capacity; or
(ii) The act by which a Public Officer solicits or accepts, directly or indirectly, an undue
advantage of any kind for himself or for another person or entity, for such Public
Officer to act or refrain from acting in his official capacity.
(b) A Public Officer shall be construed as meaning:
(i) Any person who holds a legislative, executive, administrative or judicial mandate
(within the country of the Contracting Authority) regardless of whether that person
was nominated or elected, regardless of the permanent or temporary, paid or unpaid
nature of the position and regardless of the hierarchical level the person occupies;
(ii) Any other person who performs a public function, including for a State institution or
a State-owned company, or who provides a public service;
