Tenderer should supply items as per
Approved make if available.
Otherwise, tenderer can supply any
standard make meeting technical
specification with prior approval of
HAL.
4 MNRE Subsidy arrangement is fine to
be done by the EPC, but whether HAL
would bring the subsidy from MNRE
directly(being government organization,
they have this option). This is not clear
from the RFP.

Specification

Tenderer to make necessary
arrangements for claiming the
subsidy from MNRE.
5 Whether HAL would allow SECI
bidders to bid for their project? If yes,
then it is not a level playing field for all
the bidders since bidders who won SECI
project would have a clear advantage.
The tenders are called in open mode.
Clarification is not required.
6 A lot of trees around Building rooftop
which may cast shadows at different
points on the roof throughout the year.
The RfP asks for a contracted
performance against which we need to
provide a guarantee. We believe that we
will not able to provide such guarantees
unless we do a thorough shadow analysis
or we get a guarantee from you that such
obstructions will be cleared for the
project and will remain clear during the
period of the contract.
Technical
specification

The power plant layout should be
optimized based on the results of
shadow analysis to derive the
maximum output. HAL will arrange
for trimming of tree branches if
required.

7 Extend the Date of opening of tender Not agreed
8 The channel partner cannot execute the
project without getting approval from
MNRE. Hence HAL clause of finishing
the project within a time frame of
5months, can be a trouble. As we know
that MNREs window for subsidy opens
once in a year and we depend on their
discretion for subsidy, its our sincere
request the time taken by MNRE for
subsidy approval additional to time
provided for installation and
commissioning of the project.
