3 Inland Transportation Charges -

A While undertaking item-wise

evaluation, difficulties are being faced

for calculating transportation charges to

site, because of non-

availability/difficulty in obtaining

weight of the individual items like

pipes, valves etc.

To overcome this problem, the

following procedure shall be adopted

for calculating transportation charges to

site

i Transportation from the vendors

situated within a distance of 400 KMS.

1% of CIF/Ex-works Prices

ii Transportation from the vendors

situated within a distance of 401 to 800

KMS.


iii Transportation from the vendors

situated at a distance of more than 800

KMS.


Based on the above formula, the guidelines shall be followed for calculation of transportation charges.

However, if any bidder has quoted firm freight charges, which are lower than the above percentages, the

same shall be considered at the time of placement of order.

B In Case weights and distances are

known for all suppliers

-

i FOR SMALLS: Inland transportation charges shall be calculated at the rate of Rs. 4.50 per

KM/MT.

ii FOR TRUCK LOADS: @ Rs. 3/ per KM/MT

All Indian parties are requested to quote EXW price and freight charges up to NFL Site, compulsorily. If all the parties have

given freight charges upto site the same shall be considered for evaluation. However, if only some parties have given freight

charges, NFL reserves the right to load for such parties who have not quoted freight charges with freight charges as above.

NFL’s decision on this regard shall be final and binding on these Bidders.

4 Inland Insurance The inland insurance shall be calculated at the

rate of 0.15% of CIF/FOR prices.

5 Loading on account of Higher

Delivery Period

5.1 Wherever Bidders quoted delivery is

higher than the preferred delivery

period as indicated in the ITB

document, the following loading

criterion shall be applied:-

Loading @ 2% per month on FOB/Ex-Works price for the following periods:

Delivery Quoted Loading Period

Foreign Bidders (Effective Delivery-Preferred delivery)

Indian Bidders (Effective Delivery-Preferred delivery)

In order to account for Sea shipment and port clearance time the difference between FOB delivery date

and EXW delivery date is considered 1.5 Month.

No credit shall be given for early delivery period. Quoted delivery has to be computed for effective

delivery as given below. Preferred delivery for Foreign Bidder is as per FOB delivery at port of loading

and for Indian Bidder EXW as per invitation to Bid.

5.2 The loading as mentioned at (a) shall

not be applied in case the quoted

delivery does not meet the project

requirement and the Bid shall not be

qualified.

Calculation of Effective Delivery

Period

The enquiry provides the delivery to be counted

from LOI. Wherever the Bidder does not agree to

the above condition following criteria will be

of 35

used for calculating the effective delivery period

for evaluation purpose:

Delivery basis as per Bidder Offer Loading in months to be added to quoted

delivery

-

5.2.1 EXW basis for Foreign Bidder 0.50 Months

5.2.2 On readiness for Inspection for Foreign
