Schedule of important

Extension of Time :

The proposal submission date is mentioned

as 5th

January 2017 online and 6th

January 2017 physical copy.

We have experienced that during Christmas

celebration most of the experts especially

other than India tend to go on a long

vacation and do not respond to the mails or

any communication which hampers in

compiling their CVs and other details which

are integral part of the submission

document.

We therefore request you to extend the date

of submission from six weeks further as for

such a magnitude of CVs and taking consent

will take time. Hence it is requested that the

due date may be revised to 16th

February

2017 online and 17th

Addendum-III

Replacement of key

experts…….imposed for

each week.

We consider this clause as punitive and

counterproductive to the delivery of the assignment.

This clause seems to be of a regulatory nature rather

than a facilitating nature. Consultants have only a

certain level of control on the choice of staff whether

to continue in a particular job or not. Thus penalizing

the consultant for the leaving of a staff (which legally

is not in the consultant’s control) does not seem to be

in line with international guidelines such as provided

for by the World Bank / ADB. These risks will

ultimately be passed on to the client.

With so many projects in India running concurrently

it is inevitable that staff will move between

companies and projects. The client is contracting the

consultant for the delivery of a service and not for

manpower supply. The consultants are bound to

deliver a particular service even if the staff has left

and this risk is acceptable to consultants.

We request for a total deletion of these penalties.

Provision of RFP shall prevail

Addendum-III

Familiarity with the

language and country

10%

We request that this criteria be changed to

Familiarity with developing countries.

Also, given the large number of metro

projects being implemented in India and

limited expertise available globally and in

India, it is more and more difficult to find

staff with experience in India without

affecting ongoing projects and clients within

India.

Further, other developing countries are

comparable to India and modification of this

criteria will not affect even in the least the

quality of staff being provided for the

project, or the project implementation. Good

experts generally are able to perform in any

condition and country, even if they have no

prior experience in this region.

Experience in India 10% We would further request that the 10%

marks allotted for experience in India that

the following conditions are applied:

In case of foreign experts, this requirement

may be removed and the marks

redistributed, as this will help increase the

pool of the number of expatriates available

globally. The number of foreign experts

with Indian experience is severely limited

and with the large number of concurrent

projects, this will be counter-productive as

there is bound to be a shortage of qualified

staff.
