Dy.CMM/C&W, which is placed at Folio-1 may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item Six Purchase

Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity
option clause on the above three firms as the demands are available
for the subject item.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:

Earlier, when a proposal for exercising (+)30% option clause on


M/s. Rausheena Udyog Ltd, Kolkata (AIR- Rs.19,299.51 each)
(Folio-4) was submitted to this office for concurrence, this office
returned the proposal with some observations, placed at Folio-3,
which may kindly be perused. The proposal was initiated based
on the recommendations of the subsequent tender committee,
which had recommended to exercise option clause on M/s.
Frontier Alloy Steels Ltd, Kanpur (AIR-Rs.19,390 each) as the
rates received in subsequent tender on 27.09.12 are on higher
side (AIR- Rs.19,969.18). The performance of all the three firms
was also not submitted. As such, the proposal was returned with
some observations (Folio-3).
Now, Stores branch has resubmitted the proposal duly
invoking option clause on other two firms also as the rates (AIRRs.20,400 each) received in subsequently opened tender on
28.02.13 (L/F-282) are on higher side. The case is under
finalization with SAG tender committee.

ii

Necessary ANE (L/F-285) and one NS indent (L/F-248) are


available in the case file to cover the proposed option quantity.
However, the personal approval of PHOD (CME) for utilizing the
NS indent is not placed in the case file. It is stated that it is under

quantity of 1,35,360 LTRS at a total value of Rs..1,14,82,588.80 with the
acceptance of CMM/G (L/F-N/11).
Now, it is proposed to exercise (-) 30% option clause on the subject P.O No.
91077 Dt: 05.05.12 for a quantity of 40,407 LTRS.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
(i)

It is proposed to invoke (-) 30% quantity option clause on the above


subject P.O, as the rate received in the tender opened recently ie on
10.04.2013, from lowest technically suitable offer is Rs.79.26 per litre
(L/F-127-129), whereas the instant PO rate is Rs.84.83per litre (L/F-106).
Earlier, (+)30% option clause was exercised on this firm as the rates
received in the subsequent tender are on higher side.

(ii)

It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to accept the
lower rate of Rs.79.26 per litre, but the firm refused to accept the offer.
The firm still has to supply 40,407 ltrs only. Though the (+)30% quantity
works out to 40,608 Ltrs, the balance quantity to be supplied by the firm
is only 40,407 ltrs. As such, it is proposed to cancel 40,407 ltrs duly
exercising (-)30% option clause on the firm.

(iii)

As the original tender was finalized with JAG tender committee and
accepted by CMM, the above proposal requires the concurrence of
Dy.CAO/S&W for exercising (-)30% option clause.

(iv)

The proposal to exercise (-)30% option clause has the approval of CMM
(Folio-107).

In view of the above, if approved we may concur the proposal to exercise


(-)30% option clause on the above firm.

procurement of the subject item and the tender was opened on 22.05.2013. It
is observed that the L1 tenderer has quoted Rs.8.32 per metre, which is
lower than the subject PO rate. As such, Stores department vide their letter

For procurement of the above subject item two Purchase Orders have been
placed on M/s.Classic Electrodes (India) Ltd, Kolkata for a quantity of
14,76,915 mtrs and at a total value of Rs.1,22,87,932 with the acceptance of
CMM (L/F-N/20).
Now, it is proposed to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on the
above firm for a quantity of 1,11,192 mtrs as per the recommendations of the
tender committee.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.0

On verification of the case file, it is observed that a new tender was


opened for the subject item on 22.05.13, wherein lower rates were
received when compared to LPO rates. The all inclusive rate of Last
purchase Orders rate was Rs.9.34 per mtr. But, the all inclusive rate
received in new tender is Rs.8.32. As such, (-)30% option clause was
exercised on LPO (No.92328) ie., M/s.Asianarc Electrodes (P) Ltd,
Noida for a quantity of 2,16,033 mtrs. Though one more LPO was also
available with higher rates, as the firm supplied the entire quantity before
finalization of the present tender, (-)30% option clause could not be
operated on the firm.

2.0

Since 2,16,033 mtrs quantity was operated against (-)30% option clause
against LPO No:92328 on M/s.Asianarc Electrodes (P) Ltd, Noida,
some quantity ie., 1,04,841 mtrs were covered in the new tender itself
with lower rate. The balance quantity ie., 1,11,192 mtrs is now being
covered under the present P.O, which was finalized recently, as per the
advice of finance member of the TC ie., Dy.CAO/S&W (Para 2.5 of NOTE/16
of Link file).

3.0

Though the instant Purchase order is having 4,43,074 mtrs under (+)30%
option clause, 1,11,192 mtrs is only being covered under (+)30% option
clause as recommended by TC vide para 5.1 of Note/19 of Link file.

For procurement of the above subject item two Purchase Orders have

Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option
clause on the above two firms on the basis of NS indents received from
various S&T units.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.0

It is observed that a tender was opened in South Eastern Railway for the
procurement of the subject item in which higher rates (L/F) were
received when compared with the updated rates of instant purchase
order rates. As such, the proposal is being submitted to this office for
signifying concurrence to exercise quantity option clause on both the
firms.
However, it is observed that the rate (Rs.94,921.70) received from
Part-II firm in South Eastern Railway tender is lower than M/s.Cabcom
Cables Ltd/Delhi (Part-II)(Rs.1,08,370.95) of this Railway when
updated, vide Folio-489 of Link file. As such, it is not correct to exercise
option clause on this firm.
With regards to another Part-I firm ie., M/s.Continental Telepower
Industries/ New Delhi of this Railway, their updated rate
(Rs.1,09,566.31) is lower than SE Railways latest rate (Rs.1,20,180.20).
Hence, we may exercise (+)30% option clause on this firm.

2.0

Earlier, the proposal was returned to Stores department duly advising to


submit the supplies made by both the firms to judge the satisfactory
performance of the firms. Now, Stores department submitted that the
firm M/s. Continental Telepower Industries/ New Delhi has already
dispatched 193.78 kms of cable (77.47%) for which some RDSOs

inspection certificates and calling for inspection certificates were


submitted. As such, we may agree for exercising option clause on this
firm only. As the firm M/s.Cabcom Cables Ltd/Delhi has not commenced
the supplies, Stores department is also not recommending exercising

Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option
clause on the firm

recommendations of subsequent tender committee.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.0
It is proposed to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on
M/s.RB Polyboards Ltd/SC as the rates received in subsequent tender
are on higher side. It is stated that a new tender was opened on

28.05.2013 in which the lowest firm quoted Rs.1098/- per number,


whereas the subject POs rate is 1002.25 per number. As such, the
subsequent tender committee has recommended to exercise (+)30%
quantity option clause on the above firm (L/F-260) as the rate of the
subject PO is cheaper.
However, it is observed that one more Last Purchase Order was
also available with lower rate ie.,Rs.999.00 on M/s.Shri Dhaniram
Laminates Pvt Ltd/ Raipur. But, the convener has not mentioned the
above rate or name of the firm in subsequent TC minutes, which seems
to be not correct.
When this office returned the case file to submit the reasons for
the same, Dy.CMM/G has stated that on finalization date of subsequent
tender the Delivery Period of the firm was expired. As such, the same
was not mentioned in the TC and not operated (+)30% option clause.
This office also advised Stores department to submit the supply position
of M/s. Shri Dhaniram Laminates Pvt Ltd/ Raipur, but Stores department
did not submitted the same.

For procurement of the above subject item four Purchase Orders have been

Ltd/Hyderabad (Part-I) with the acceptance of COS for a total value of
Rs.3,86,02,061.84 (L/F-N/22) with (+)30% option clause.
Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause
on the above four firms on the basis of the recommendations of subsequent
tender committee.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.0
Earlier, the proposal was returned with some observations, as the
MPOs were submitted to this office directly without obtaining finance
concurrence. In terms of Railway Board letter No:99/RS(G)/779/5
Dt:12.03.2010, finance concurrence is required for exercising (+) 30%
option clause. When the proposal was returned by this office,(Folio125,124/C), CMM commented that (Folio-123/C) the views expressed
by finance are against the spirit of checks to be made while
exercising option clause. It is nothing but duplication & redundant
activity. However, the stores department has resubmitted the proposal
duly submitting the requisite information.
In subsequent tender committee proceedings, the accepting
authority ie., COS has accepted the tender committee recommendations
(Para 7.0 (L/F-209)), wherein exercising of (+)30% option clause on Last
Purchase orders was not mentioned. It was discussed at Para 3.2.1 to
exercise option clause on LPOs, but not mentioned in the recommendations
at Para 7.0. Further, to exercise option clause, the performance of the firms
should be satisfactory and Delivery Period should also available, these
aspects were not discussed in TC minutes.

The spirit of issuing the Boards letter is perhaps to ensure invoking


option clause duly ensuring economic purchase and adopting all inventory
management methods. Further, the time lack between option available and
exercising the same is in most of the cases for apart. In order to judge the
parameters, such as supply position, demand last but not least rate
analysis is of paramount importance. Hence finance concurrence for
invoking option clause is neither redundant nor duplication of work as
opined by CMM/Elec.

NOTE/102
If Purchase Officer still feels that finance concurrence is not necessary
and is duplication of work for exercising option clause, we may advise to
approach Railway Board for necessary amendments for invoking option
clause.
2.0
It is proposed to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on the
above four firms, as the rates received in subsequent tender are on
higher side. It is stated that a new tender was opened on 22.07.2013 in
which the lowest Part-I firm quoted Rs.1,28,577.92 per set (L/F-208)
and lowest Part-II firm quoted Rs.1,25,834.32 per set, whereas the
subject POs rates are Rs.1,28,477.92 per set and Rs.1,25,834.32
respectively. As such, the subsequent tender committee has
recommended to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on the above
four firms (L/F-213) as the rates of the subject POs are cheaper for PartI & same for Part -II.
3.0
It is stated that the performance of the above four firms is
satisfactory as the above four firms have supplied the entire material
with in D.P.
4.0
A photo copy of ANE is available in the case file (L/F-218) for

In this connection it is once again reiterated that the spirit of

exercising the same, in most of the cases are far apart.

advised to approach Railway Board for necessary amendments for
invoking option clause.

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence, for imposing lower rate on the
instant POs received from Dy.CMM/S&T, which is placed at Flag A may kindly
be perused.
For procurement of 2,25,000 rolls of UTS tickets of 100 X 64mm size,
two Purchase Orders have been placed on (i) M/s.Rational Business
Corporation Pvt Ltd/Delhi (L/F-287) and on (ii) M/s.Hindon Engg Pvt
Ltd/New Delhi (L/F-279) for a total value of Rs.74,76,750/-, with the
acceptance of CMM/Elec (L/F-N/17) with (+)30% option clause.
Stores branch stated that recently one new tender was opened on
14.08.13, wherein lower rates were received for the subject item. As such, it is
proposed to impose lower rate on M/s.Rational Business Corporation Pvt
Ltd/Delhi only, as the other firm, M/s. Hindon Engg Pvt Ltd/New Delhi
has completed their supplies.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.0
In subsequent new tender, the firm M/s. Rational Business
Corporation Pvt Ltd/Delhi, has quoted Rs.33.09, which is Rs.0.14ps
lower than the instant Purchase Order rates of Rs.33.23. As such, tender
committee has recommended to impose lower rate on M/s. Rational
Business Corporation Pvt Ltd/Delhi as the firm has agreed for the
same. We may agree for the same as the rate is beneficial to Railways.
2.0
On detailed verification of the case file, this office pointed out that
why lower rate or (-)30% option clause was not exercised on the other
firm ie., M/s.Hindon Engg Pvt Ltd/New Delhi. As such, this office
advised stores branch to submit a copy of TC minutes and reasons for
not exercising
(-)30% option clause on the above firm.
3.0
After submission of a copy of TCP of subsequent tender committee
(L/F-328), it is observed that convener stated in the TC minutes that, the
firm has already executed the ordered quantity. As such, (-)30% could
not be operated. But, it is seen from the case file (L/F-312) that the firm

has not yet completed its supplies. Further, it is observed that, after
pointed out by finance, stores branch sent a letter (L/F-313) to the firm
to accept the lower rate or (-)30% option will be imposed. Then the firm
has accepted the lower rate vide their letter placed at L/F-315, by which
Railway is getting savings to a tune of Rs.3780/-.

NOTE/2
In view of the above, if approved we may concur the proposal
of imposing lower rate on both the firms, ie., M/s. Rational
Business Corporation Pvt Ltd/Delhi for a quantity of 40,500 Nos
and on M/s.Hindon Engg Pvt Ltd/New Delhi for a quantity of
27,000 Nos.
As the original TC of the instant tender was finalized with JAG
tender committee with Sr.AFA/SF as finance member, the proposal
requires the concurrence of Sr.AFA/SF.

respectively. The new tender is not yet finalized. However, as the
Delivery Period of the firm M/s.Avadh Rubber/Lucknow is about to

(+)30% option clause on the above three firms. The firm M/s. ASP

-oOoThe proposal submitted in connection with exercising of (+) 30% Option Clause on
the above subject item Purchase Orders has been examined and the following are the
observations.
1.0

In terms of para 3.3 of Railway Board letter No: No:99/RS(G)/779/5 Dt:12.03.2010,


option clause can be operated only where there is a clear demand for additional
quantities and benefits accrue to Railways in terms of existing contractual rates
being reasonable/lower than newly opened tender rates. It is observed from the
proposal that no such exercise has been made to prove that the existing rates are
reasonable. As such, it is advised that latest rates obtained in neighboring Railways,
if not available in this Railway, may be compared to justify the rate reasonability.

2.0

Further, it is proposed to exercise option clause on both the firms at the ratio of
15:85 (Development order vs Regular order) which seems to be not correct. It is
prudent to utilize the full quantity available with M/s.Kalimata Ispat Industries Pvt
Ltd under (+)30% quantity as the all inclusive rate of the firm is lower when
compared to other firm. Railways will loose Rs.17,313.75 by operating quantity
option clause in the ratio of 15:85 as proposed by your office.

3.0

In terms of Para 3.4 of Railway Board letter No: 99/RS(G)/779/5 Dt:12.03.10, for
exercising (+)30% option clause, the performance of the firm should be satisfactory,
which is not certified by your office. As such, it is advised that latest SPS may be
called for from the depots and resubmit the proposal duly certifying the
performance of both of the firms. The performance of the firms needs to be
improved to invoke option clause on these two firms.

4.0

The proposals received without complying with Railway Board orders is distressing
to finance department.
The proposal is returned herewith.

As such, Stores department is proposing to exercise (+)30% option
clause on the instant Purchase Order. As there is a rate difference of
Rs.970.93 per No., it is financially advantageous to Railways in
exercising (+)30% quantity option clause for a quantity of 34 nos on

2.0

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+) 30% option
clause on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/G, which is placed
at F-146/C may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item three Purchase Orders have
been placed on M/s. Milton Industries Ltd/Ahmedabad(AIR-Rs.94.20 per
metre) with the acceptance of COS for a total value of Rs.2,15,20,461(L/FN/10).

Now, it is proposed to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on the


above firm as the demand is available.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.

Earlier, the proposal was returned with some observations vide


letter placed at F-145 & 147, duly stating that in addition to the instant
Purchase order there are two more purchase orders placed on the
same firm ie. M/s. Milton Industries Ltd/Ahmedabad with same all
inclusive rate. But the same was not brought out in the minutes of the
subsequent tender committee as well as in (+30%) option clause
proposal.
In response to this office observations, stores department has
resubmitted the proposal,duly stating(F-149) that erroneously qty for
+30% option clause was calculated as per the stock PO instead of total
quantity of the contract accepted. Due to oversight +30% option
clause qty has been taken as 64,066 Mtrs only instead of 68,536 Mtrs.
Further it is stated that ANE copy is kept in the Orginal Case file
of subsequent tender, which is under signature of Accounts Member
(T.C.P).

2.

It is stated that a new tender was opened on 27.08..2013 in this


Railway, wherein the TC of the subsequent tender, recommended to
exercise (+)30% option clause in the instant Purchase Order as the
rates received in fresh tender are on higher side(L/F-212 Para 2.3). As
such, Stores department is proposing to exercise (+)30% option clause
on the instant Purchase Order. As there is a rate difference of Rs.0.70
per Metre., it is financially advantageous to Railways in exercising
(+)30% quantity option clause for a quantity of 68,536Mtrs on the
above firm as proposed by Stores branch.

3.

It is stated that the performance of the firm is satisfactory. It is


further stated that the firm has already supplied the entire quantity
within the due date as certified by Dy.CMM/CRS/TPTY & LGD(L/F-230231).

4.

The Delivery Period of the subject PO is expired on 31.10.201.


However,the stores Department has already advised the firm that
+30% option clause is being operated in the instant purchase order as
per the terms and condition of the original P.O(L/F-203).

A proposal seeking Finance concurrence for entering into Rate contract for a
further period of One Year with OEMS of HP, Samsung & Epson for supply of
catridge and Tonners on single tender basis received from CMM/E is placed at F-4.
Previously RC was entered into for one year on single tender basis with the
approval of AGM(L/F-1-6). Zonal RC for HP printers is due to expire on 05.05.2014.
However, it is proposed to enter into fresh rate contract with OEMS for supply of
catridges and Toners for HP printers and also for Samsung, Epson makes, as
and when current RCs expire to avail supplies directly from OEMs for better quality
of supplies, price advantage and expeditious coverage of demands.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1. The validity of HP zonal RC is expiring on 05.05.2014. However executive
proposing for extension much earlier i.e.3 months in advance.
2. Further, the validity of other two OEMs are expiring on 07.11.2014 &
01.12.2014. Extension of Rc on these two firms is also premature. It is not
correct to extend at an earlier date.
3. Earlier, while concurring the same proposal, FA&CAO/S&W has clearly
mentioned that based on our experience the contract can be extended
vide (Note8(L/F)) for which executive has not submitted the

Detailed section noting may please be seen.

Railway board letter no.99/RS(G)/779/S dated 20.05.2010 indicate that


(clause 3.1 to 3.4)option clause is to be operated where there is a clear
demand for additional quantities and benefits accrued to railways in terms of
existing contractual rates being reasonable/lower than the newly opened
tender rates.
The following recommendations are made:

(a). It is seen from the proposal that the performance of the firm M/s Paramount
Communications Ltd/New Delhi (Pt.I RDSO supplier)(Folio-2/C) indicate that
the performance is only 25% i.e (125+216=341 Kms) 216 Kms upto
03.12.2013, out
of the 1253.325 Kms. The delivery period is available upto 20.06.2014 in
almost all
the Pos. Hence the performance of the firm is reasonable.
(b). It is certified by COS videL/F. N-37 & 38 of Link file that there is a demand for
additional quantity of 138.2 Kms. These additional quantities are pertaining
to
the period 2013-14 and requirement of the same is to be ensured by the
consignee in the year 2014-15 duly allotting the funds. Further it is seen that
the
present requirement can be met from the 30% option quantity clause of the
existing POs i.e Qty tendered is 1194.46 Kms and accepted quantity is
1253.325 Kms . Hence the option clause can be exercised upto a percentage
of
25.07%. i.e 314.208 Kms. Hence the additional indent quantity of 138.2 Km
is
agreeable.
(c) AIR rate per Km is Rs.1,61,718.30/- is available for all the existing POs for
having
delivery period upto 20.06.2014. The North western railways AIR rate is
1,61,796.30/- per Km(LOA dt:27.09.2013), the Western Railway AIR is Rs.
1,62,601.73/- per Km(LOA Dt:24.02.2014), indicate that there is slight
advantage of
rate when compared to other railways.
(d). At present funds are made available based on the on account budget grant of
Rs.
160Cr. The consignee department and the stores department has to ensure the
availability of funds against the proposed procurement of additional quantity of
138.2 Kms under 30% option clause.

With the proposed additional quanitity of 138.2 Kms the total value of the POs
after exercising the (+) 25.07% option clause would be Rs.22,50,35,057.41/-.
The proposal requires the sanction of AGM with finance concurrence of

on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/G, is placed at Folio-107/C which
may kindly be perused.
One Purchase Order has been placed for procurement of the above subject
item on M/s.Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd/Chennai (L/F-106) for a

quantity of 1,35,360 LTRS at a total value of Rs..1,14,82,588.80 with the


acceptance of CMM/G (L/F-N/11).
Now, it is proposed to exercise (-) 30% option clause on the subject P.O No.
91077 Dt: 05.05.12 for a quantity of 40,407 LTRS.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
(i)

It is proposed to invoke (-) 30% quantity option clause on the above


subject P.O, as the rate received in the tender opened recently ie on
10.04.2013, from lowest technically suitable offer is Rs.79.26 per litre
(L/F-127-129), whereas the instant PO rate is Rs.84.83per litre (L/F-106).
Earlier, (+)30% option clause was exercised on this firm as the rates
received in the subsequent tender are on higher side.

(ii)

It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to accept the
lower rate of Rs.79.26 per litre, but the firm refused to accept the offer.
The firm still has to supply 40,407 ltrs only. Though the (+)30% quantity
works out to 40,608 Ltrs, the balance quantity to be supplied by the firm
is only 40,407 ltrs. As such, it is proposed to cancel 40,407 ltrs duly
exercising (-)30% option clause on the firm.

(iii)

As the original tender was finalized with JAG tender committee and
accepted by CMM, the above proposal requires the concurrence of
Dy.CAO/S&W for exercising (-)30% option clause.

(iv)

The proposal to exercise (-)30% option clause has the approval of CMM

The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
(i)

It is proposed to invoke (-) 30% quantity option clause on the above


subject P.O, as the rate received in the tender opened recently ie on

It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to accept the
lower rate of Rs.79.26 per litre, but the firm refused to accept the offer.
The firm still has to supply 40,407 ltrs only. Though the (+)30% quantity

clause and Imposing Lower rate @ Rs.4000.30 each for unsupplied quantity of 432
Nos as the firm is agreeing for lower rate for the balance unsupplied quantity as on
date of issue of letter for imposing (-)30% option clause i.e 10.03.14.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
As per the facts given by the executive and as per history sheet , finance has
concurred (-)30% option quantity vide Lr.No.ASF/Q01 dated 20.05.2014.
Now executive department stated that, as per latest supply position
furnished by LGD & TPTY, it is observed that TPTY quantity of 2125 nos has been
offered for inspection before tender opening 26.02.14 and LGD quanity, last
inspection call has been given on 07.03.14 for 432 Nos were outstanding to supply
as on date of issue of letter for imposing (-)30% option clause. Hence executive is
requesting to withdraw (-)30% concurrence letter for 1196 Nos and vet the MPO at
lower rate @4000.30 per No for 432 Nos which was supplied after 10.03.2014(i.e
(-)30% letter).

Further it is certified by Dy.CMM/C&W that most care will be taken for seeking
finance concurrence for operation of +/-30% option clause duly furnishing the
required facts after getting confirmation from the feeding depots. Staff have been
advised to be more carefull before processing option clause proposals.

4000.30 for the balance quantity of 432 Nos which was supplied after the issue of
letter for imposing (-)30% option clause.
As the firm has already supplied the entire ordered quantity within due date
i.e 31.03.2014 and the consignee received the entire quantity,we doesnt have
option for cancelling the quantity. But we have an option to impose lower rate for
the balance quantity which was supplied later i.e after the issue of letter for
imposing (-)30% option clause i.e. only for 432 Nos. so that
financially
advantageous to Railways is not lost, and as the firm is also agreeing for lower rate

As such, it is advised that latest rates obtained in neighboring Railways, if
not available in this Railway, may be compared to justify the rate
reasonability.

No.PO.75.13.1230.
-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+)
30% option clause on the above subject item, received from
Dy.CMM/G, which is placed at Folio-1 may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item Six Purchase Orders
have been placed on 3 firms viz., (i) M/s. Deco Mica Ltd/Ahmedabad(AIRRs.1095 each) (ii) M/s.R B Poly Boards Ltd/SC(AIR- Rs.1098 each) and
(iii) M/s.Wonder Laminates Pvt ltd,Bishnupur(AIR- Rs.1098each) with
the acceptance of COS for a total value of Rs.2,87,87,490 (L/F-N/28).
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
Earlier, the proposal was returned with some observations vide
letter placed at Flag-B, which may kindly be perused. As the
extensions was given twice with LD charges. In such case, how the
performance of the firm was certified satisfactory? Further the reasons
for not exercising the option clause on M/s. Wonder Laminates may be
placed on file.
In response to finance observations, Stores department
resubmitted the proposal stating against Po.NO.29314 & 57029 on
M/s.R.B.Poly Boards Ltd/SC DP extension was given two times. The
reason for giving first extension was the financial constrainsts faced
by the Railway and with the consent of Mechanical department. DP
was fixed upto 30.04.14. Second extension was given upto 30.06.14
with LD as per firms request , as Rites could not take up inspection

though firm has offered the material in time for inspection. As such it
is stated by stores branch that in both the cases , there is no fault of
the firm. Hence it is stated that the performance of R.B.Poly Boards
Ltd/Sc has been certified as satisfactory, in the subsequent tender the
firm was recommened for placement of bulk order.
Regarding operation of O/clause against M/s. Wonder Laminates, it
is stated that DP of subject orders expired on 31.01.2014 and option
clause could not be utilized as price trend was not available till current
year tender opened on 07.03.2014.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
1. The proposal is being initiated based on the higher rates received

in the subsequent tender. It is stated that a new tender was


opened on 07.03.14 for the subject item. The All inclusive rate
accepted in the new tender is Rs.1224.63 per No. As the rates of
instant PO is lower than the subsequent tender and financially
beneficial to Railways and AGM has recommended to invoke
(+)30% option clause (L/F-N-447) on the instant PO for a total
quantity of 2052 Nos. by exercising Option clause will be
economical to railways.The DP of M/s. R B PolyBoards is expiring on
30.06.2014 for Pl.No.75403651.
2.

A copy ANE (L/F-F.416) is available in the case file to cover the proposed
option quantity.

3.

It is certified by the stores department that the performance of the firm


is satisfactory. However, it is seen from the case file that firm has
submitted the material for inspection to Rites in time , But Rites has raised
issue of specification with RDSO which is under clarification from BIS and
material not received in the consignees.

4.

The financial implications of the proposed option clause are as follows:

Original Value of the PO.

upto 30.06.14
(+)30% option clause quantity, where DP available
upto 30.08.14

With the exercise of above option clause, the revised value will be
with in the powers of original accepting authority ie., COS. As such, the
proposal requires the concurrence of FA&.CAO/S&W.
In view of the above,DP for Deco Mica Ltd/Ahmedabad & Wonder
Laminates Pvt ltd,Bishnupur are much ahead i.e 30.08.2014 and the
performance of the firms are not established. Since DP of R B Poly Boards
Ltd is expiring on 30.06.2014 if approved we may process (+)30% option
clause on R B Poly Boards Ltd/Sc and for other two firms we may concur

satisfactory. However, it is learnt that the firm M/s.Avadh
Rubber/Haridwar has supplied 4320Nos, (70%),DP is ahead ie.

The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
(i)

It is proposed to invoke (-) 30% quantity option clause on the


above subject P.Os, as the rate received in the tender opened

recently ie on 26.09.14, from lowest technically suitable offer L1


is Rs.62.28 per No for Part II firm and Rs. 62.34 per No for Part I
firm, whereas the instant PO rate after PvC updation is Rs. 62.43
for Part I firm and Rs.64.48 for Part II firm
(ii)

It is observed from the case file that without asking the firm to
agree for lower rates, executive has directly advised a letter to
firm stating reduction of contractual quantity upto 30% of
ordered quantity as per clause No.18. Since due date of the
Po.NO.14 dated 26.02.14 is expiring on 25.11.2014 and as

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (-) 30%
option clause on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/G, is
placed at Folio-107/C which may kindly be perused.
One Purchase Order has been placed for procurement of the above
subject item on M/s.Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd/Chennai
(L/F-106) for a quantity of 1,35,360 LTRS at a total value of
Rs..1,14,82,588.80 with the acceptance of CMM/G (L/F-N/11).
Now, it is proposed to exercise (-) 30% option clause on the subject
P.O No. 91077 Dt: 05.05.12 for a quantity of 40,407 LTRS.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:

(i)

It is proposed to invoke (-) 30% quantity option clause on the


above subject P.O, as the rate received in the tender opened
recently ie on 10.04.2013, from lowest technically suitable offer
is Rs.79.26 per litre (L/F-127-129), whereas the instant PO rate is
Rs.84.83per litre (L/F-106). Earlier, (+)30% option clause was
exercised on this firm as the rates received in the subsequent
tender are on higher side.

(ii)

It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to
accept the lower rate of Rs.79.26 per litre, but the firm refused
to accept the offer. The firm still has to supply 40,407 ltrs only.
Though the (+)30% quantity works out to 40,608 Ltrs, the
balance quantity to be supplied by the firm is only 40,407 ltrs.
As such, it is proposed to cancel 40,407 ltrs duly exercising
(-)30% option clause on the firm.

(iii)

As the original tender was finalized with JAG tender committee


and accepted by CMM, the above proposal requires the
concurrence of Dy.CAO/S&W for exercising (-)30% option
clause.

(iv)

The proposal to exercise (-)30% option clause has the approval


of CMM (Folio-107).

In view of the above, if approved we may concur the proposal to


exercise
(-)30% option clause on the above firm.

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+)
30% option clause on the above subject item, received from
Dy.CMM/C&W, which is placed at Folio- 1/C may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item two Purchase
Order have been placed on M/s.Ameenji rubber Pvt Ltd/Sc(AIRRs.29,470.90per Number) and M/s.Escorts Ltd/Faridabad(AIRRs.28,885.92) with the acceptance of CMM/M for a total value of
Rs.1,39,58,533.78(L/F-N/13).
Earlier, the proposal was returned with some observations
vide letter placed at Flag-A, which may kindly be perused. As the

performance of the firm is not satisfactory and financial justification


for invoking option clause was not submitted, the proposal was
returned.
In response to finance observations, Stores department
resubmitted the proposal duly giving the supply position and stated
that in the subsequent tender higher rates were received (AIRRs.36950 for Part I and Rs.32384.96 for Part II firm). As the rates in
instant purchase order are lower side, Stores department requested
this office to concur the proposal.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
1. It is stated that a new tender was opened on 10.09.2014 in which
the lowest Part I firm has quoted rate of Rs.36950/- and Part II firm
has quoted Rs.32384.96per Number(AIR), whereas the subject POs
rate is Rs.29470.9 for Part I firm and Rs.28885.92 for Part II firm.
The new tender is not yet finalized. However, as the Delivery Period
of the firm M/s.Ameenji Rubber and M/s. Escorts Ltd is about to
expire on 15.12.14(refixed DP), Stores department is proposing to
exercise (+)30% option clause on the above firm. As there is a rate
difference of Rs.7479.1 per number for Part I firm,since,
subsequently tender opened on 10.09.2014 rates are higher, it is
financially advantageous to Railways in exercising quantity option
clause on the above firms i.e M/s. Ameenji rubber Pvt Ltd/SC for a
quantity of 107 Nos against Po.No.91580 dt:28.06.13 and on M/s.
Escorts Ltd/Faridabad for a quantity of 36 Nos against Po.No.91581
dt:28.06.13.
2. Performance of the firm is certified as satisfactory. Howerver, it is
observed from stock position slip(L/F.335) that M/s. Escorts Ltd has
supplied the entire ordered quantity and M/s. Ameenji Rubber has
supplied 77.87% of Po quantity ie. Supplied 278 Nos out of 357

total value of Rs.11,12,08,231.24 (L/F-N/35).
Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option
clause on the above three firms on the basis of a Stock indent received
from units(F.429 to435).
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
1. The proposal is being initiated based on the recommendations of
the subsequent tender committee. It is stated that a new tender
was opened on 18.07.2014 for the subject item. The All inclusive
rate accepted in the new tender is Rs.11,11,527.66 per set for Part
I source and Rs. 11,01,581.74 per set for Part II source. As the rates
of instant PO, PVC updated rate is Rs.11,10,950.48 for Part I source
and Rs.11,01,582.48 per set for Part II firm i.e lower than the
subsequent tender and financially beneficial to Railways. Further, it
is seen that though there is no significant difference in the rates
received from Part II source, the rate is lower than the Part I rate
received in the present tender by Rs.9945.18 per set by exercising
option clause at a lower rate on Part II source there will be savings.
Hence SAG tender committee has recommended to exercise option
clause and procure 13+10+8=31sets)against the instant POs(L/F411ante), which was accepted by COS, but as per actual quantities
against three Pos is (24+43+31=98 sets and
option clause
quantity is 98*30%= 29 sets only. Hence, +30% option clause will
be exercised for 29 sets only.
2. It is certified by the stores department that the performance of the

to 48,867 Nos representing 13 months requirements that will be
very much sufficient for next CP. Hence it is proposed not to

such, Stores department is proposing to exercise (+)30% option
clause on the instant Purchase Orders. As it is financially

advantageous to Railways in exercising (+)30% quantity


option clause for a quantity of 21,609 Nos on the above firms.

2. It is stated that the performance of the firm is satisfactory.
However, it is observed that M/s. MGM Rubber Co/Kolkata &

examined.
It is observed that the rates received in subsequent tender (ie.,

reference to Dy.CMM/C&W remarks that the firms doesnt have
performance on SCR, since the condition of performance on SCR is not
mandatory as performance on other Railways is accepted for awarding
tender. However, it remains to be seen whether this firm will get the PO
from Southern Railway till such time, the acceptability of this rate cannot
be confirmed. TC may go for negotiation also. Since DP of M/s.
Ramakrishna is available only upto 05.02.2015. Therefore it is advised to

by COS office with the observation of Dy.CMM/E stating that there was funds
shortage and consignee has directly communicated to the firms for not to supply
the material till the funds are available. In this situation imposition of full LD to
the firm are not in order which leads to legal complications. Further, all the
requisite evidence including CSTE certification for postponement of supply is at

of DP without LD as endorsed at F/N-4 & N/8 respectively.
It is evident from the above facts that there is interference by the
consignee in corresponding with the firms directly without routing through COS.
COS has taken a serious view and directed that any modifications has to be
invariably done through the competent authority only which is placed at F.122
of link file.
The case was dealt originally at AGM level, but changed subsequently on
account of operation of (+)30% option clause which falls under the powers of

In continuation to the section note at pre-page, Dy.CMM/c&w has


resubmitted the proposal (Flag-A) in response to this office observations
placed at Flag - B, which may kindly be perused.
Earlier this office has concurred the proposal against M/s. Prag
Industries India Pvt ltd only(F/3/C) and as against the other three firms
executive has been advised to process the case after satisfactory
performance.
In response executive has resubmitted the proposal duly submitting the
performance of the firms.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1. As already mentioned at pre page that a new tender was opened on
05.11.14 in which the L1 Part I tenderer has quoted AIR Rs.1048.82 per No.
The instant POs rate is AIR Rs.972 per No, similarly, the rates quoted by L1

Part II firm is AIR- Rs.967.42, whereas the Instant PO rate is AIR- Rs.920.23
per No. The new tender has been dropped as the rates received are on
higher side and duly recommending to exercise (+)30% option clause in
the instant Purchase Order(L/F-454), as the quantity to be procured is
35,289 Nos the excess Qty of 27,627 Nos available and 30% option clause
at lower rate for 21,609Nos put together works out to 48,867 Nos
representing 13 months requirements that will be very much sufficient for
next CP. Hence it is proposed not to procure any quantity against the
present tender and recommend to discharge the tender and drop the
procurement action. As such, Stores department is proposing to exercise
(+)30% option clause on the instant Purchase Orders. As it is financially
advantageous to Railways in exercising (+)30% quantity option clause for
a quantity of 21,609 Nos on the above firms.
2. It is stated that the performance of the firm is satisfactory. However, it is
observed that M/s.Howrah Forgings Ltd/Kolkata has supplied the full
quantity of 3141 Nos and as against M/s. MGM Rubber Co/Kolkata &
M/s.Basant Rubber factory Ltd/Mumbai performance is poor, hence option
clause now exercised on M/s. Howrah Forgings Ltd/Kolkata only.
3. The Delivery Period of the subject PO is available upto 31.03.2015.
4. Necessary Indent is available to cover the proposed option clause quantity.

One Purchase Order has been placed for procurement of the above subject
item on M/s.Globe Scott Motors Pvt Ltd/Gujarat for a quantity of 240Nos at a
total value of Rs.48,64,228.80 with the acceptance of CMM/E (L/F-N/14).
Now, it is proposed to exercise 30% quantity at lower rate on the subject P.O
No. 70109 dt:03.09.14 for a quantity of 72Nos(-30% option clause quantity).
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
(i)

It is proposed to invoke (-) 30% quantity option clause on the above


subject P.O, as the rate received in the tender opened recently ie on
07.10.2014, from lowest technically suitable offer is Rs.17994.25per
No(AIR), whereas the instant PO rate is Rs.20267.62 per No(AIR).

(ii)

It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to accept the
lower rate of Rs.17994.25 per No(Air), but the firm has agreed to accept for
lower rate for 72 Nos subject to extending the delivery period upto
15.03.2015(F/97,99). Accordingly, calculation was made duly comparing
the prices with the present tender rate and by levy of LD on the previous
tender rate.The present PO AIR rate Rs.20,267.62 by levying full LD upto
march2015i.e 10%
would be 20267.62-2026.76=18240.858, but on
imposing lower rate it is Rs. 17994.25 per no only. Hence by extending the
DP upto 15.03.15 and supply the 1 st lot of 72 Nos at 17994.25 is financially
advantage to Railways.

(iii)

As the original tender was finalized with Sr scale tender committee and
accepted by CMM, the above proposal requires the concurrence of
Sr.AFA/SF for exercising 30% option clause quantity at lower rate duly
extending the DP upto 15.03.15..

(iv)

The proposal to exercise 30% option clause at lower rate has the approval
of CMM (Folio-N-22).

In view of the above, if approved we may concur the proposal to exercise

compared with other railway rates for the subject item, if not available in this
railway to assess the rate reasonability.
3. In terms of Para 3.3 of Railway Board Lr.No.99/RS(G)/779/5 Dt:12.03.10, for

The proposal submitted in connection with development order has been examined and
the following are the observations
1. Likely new sources for this item may be explored for the purpose of vendor development
in the present case. It is observed that there are only two Part I and one Part II source
as per F-164. The consuming department should certify the actual requirement with
latest specification if any, so as to avoid unnecessary ordering cost by way of
advertisement.
2. The observation made by Tender accepting authority at N-16,17are very much relevant
in the present case and highly appreciable.
3. However, finance is of the opinion that blanket concurrence by finance as sought in the
proposal can be considered only when there is sufficient proof that their exists
indigenous supplier for this item at lower cost compare to cost of approved sources.
4. In view of the above the proposal needs to be re visited with full justification and in

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+) 30% option
clause on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/Elec, which is placed at
Folio-125/C may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item four Purchase Orders have been
placed on (i) M/s.Microtex Energy Pvt Ltd/Bangalore (Part-II)(AIRRs.1,25,834.32 per set) (ii) M/s.Exide Industries Ltd/Kolkata (Part-II) (AIRRs. 1,25,834.32 per set), (iii) M/s.Amara Raja Batteries Ltd/Tirupati (PartI) (AIR- Rs. 1,28,477.92 per set) & (iv) M/s.HBL Power Systems
Ltd/Hyderabad (Part-I) with the acceptance of COS for a total value of
Rs.3,86,02,061.84 (L/F-N/22) with (+)30% option clause.
Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause
on the above four firms on the basis of the recommendations of subsequent
tender committee.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
7.0
Earlier, the proposal was returned with some observations, as the
MPOs were submitted to this office directly without obtaining finance
concurrence. In terms of Railway Board letter No:99/RS(G)/779/5
Dt:12.03.2010, finance concurrence is required for exercising (+) 30%
option clause. When the proposal was returned by this office,(Folio125,124/C), CMM commented that (Folio-123/C) the views expressed
by finance are against the spirit of checks to be made while
exercising option clause. It is nothing but duplication & redundant
activity. However, the stores department has resubmitted the proposal
duly submitting the requisite information.
In subsequent tender committee proceedings, the accepting
authority ie., COS has accepted the tender committee recommendations
(Para 7.0 (L/F-209)), wherein exercising of (+)30% option clause on Last
Purchase orders was not mentioned. It was discussed at Para 3.2.1 to
exercise option clause on LPOs, but not mentioned in the recommendations
at Para 7.0. Further, to exercise option clause, the performance of the firms
should be satisfactory and Delivery Period should also available, these
aspects were not discussed in TC minutes.

The spirit of issuing the Boards letter is perhaps to ensure invoking


option clause duly ensuring economic purchase and adopting all inventory
management methods. Further, the time lack between option available and
exercising the same is in most of the cases for apart. In order to judge the
parameters, such as supply position, demand last but not least rate
analysis is of paramount importance. Hence finance concurrence for
invoking option clause is neither redundant nor duplication of work as
opined by CMM/Elec.

NOTE/1
If Purchase Officer still feels that finance concurrence is not necessary
and is duplication of work for exercising option clause, we may advise to
approach Railway Board for necessary amendments for invoking option
clause.
8.0
It is proposed to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on the
above four firms, as the rates received in subsequent tender are on
higher side. It is stated that a new tender was opened on 22.07.2013 in
which the lowest Part-I firm quoted Rs.1,28,577.92 per set (L/F-208)
and lowest Part-II firm quoted Rs.1,25,834.32 per set, whereas the
subject POs rates are Rs.1,28,477.92 per set and Rs.1,25,834.32
respectively. As such, the subsequent tender committee has
recommended to exercise (+)30% quantity option clause on the above
four firms (L/F-213) as the rates of the subject POs are cheaper for Part-I
& same for Part -II.
9.0
It is stated that the performance of the above four firms is
satisfactory as the above four firms have supplied the entire material
with in D.P.
10.0
A photo copy of ANE is available in the case file (L/F-218) for
covering the above option qty. It is stated that the original copy is
placed in the subsequent tender case file which is under scrutiny for
vetting of Draft Purchase Orders by this office.
11.0
The proposal has the Administrative approval of CMM (Folio123/C) for exercising option clause.

In continuation to the section note at pre-page, FA&CAO/S&W remarks,


the following are the remarks submitted by Dy.CMM/S&T placed at Flag - B,
which may kindly be perused.
1. It is stated that as per limitation act 1963, the time limit for processing
belated proposals is 3 years time.
2. The delay is due to transit delay. Hence the material has come after due
date. Further, firm vide their letter at F/1094 mentioned that they had
dispatched the cable as soon as the testing of cable by RDSO was
completed on 23.10.2012 but could be delivered to the consignee on
08.11.2012 after expiry of delivery schedule due to break down of

Pvt Ltd/Bangalore.
Ref : Dy.CMM/Elecs Note No:31 to 34 of Case file No.PE.45.14.1021.
-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+) 30% option
clause on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/Elec, which is placed
at Folio-1/C may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item three Purchase Orders have
been placed on (i) M/s.Microtex Energy Pvt Ltd/Bangalore (Part-II)(AIR-

Rs.11,01,581.74 per set) (ii) M/s.Exide Industries Ltd/Kolkata (Part-I)


(AIR- Rs. 11,11,527.66 per set), (iii) M/s.HBL Power Systems
Ltd/Hyderabad (Part-I)(AIR-Rs.11,11,527.66 per set) with the
acceptance of COS for a total value of Rs.8,87,23,294.40(L/F-N/20) with
(+)30% option clause.
Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option
clause on M/s. Mocrotex Energy Pvt Ltd/Bangalore only on the basis of the
recommendations of subsequent tender committee.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1. The proposal is being initiated based on the higher rates received in the
subsequent tender. It is stated that a new tender was opened on 30.06.2015
for the subject item. The All inclusive rate accepted against Part I firm is
Rs.11,35,893.75 per set, whereas the instant PO Part II firm updated rate AIR
is Rs.11,25,896.43 per set(L/F.F/246) which is lesser by Rs. 9,997.32 per set
and Part I firm updated rate AIR is Rs. 11,36,024.76 which is higher by
Rs.131.01 per set .
Since, there are no Part II sources in the current approved list as on date
and as there is price advantage when compared with Part II source, TC
recommends to operate +30% option clause on Part II source for 06sets, there
will be savings of Rs. 59,983.92 and as against Part I firm since the rate is
higher by 131.01 per set instead of operating -30% option clause TC consider
that to ask the firms to accept the lower rate received in the new tender.
Accordingly letters issued to firms vide F/266,267, reply awaited.
In view of the above and as there is financially beneficial to Railways,
SAG tender committee has recommended to invoke (+)30% option clause
(L/F-246) on M/s. Microtex Energy Pvt Ltd/SBC for a total quantity of 6sets

2. It is sta ted that the performance of the above firm is satisfactory. But as
against the subject PO the firm has not commenced the supplies till date.
Further, it is mentioned in TC that even though M/s. Microtex has not supplied
the quantity against the existing order the firm had supplied the subject item
in the past and is considered reliable. TC therefore recommends to exercise
option clause and procure 06sets( LGD) against the existing order.
3. A copy of Shortfall demand is placed to cover the proposed +30 option clause
quantity.
4. The financial implications of the proposed option clause are as follows:

In view of the above, if approved we may concur the proposal to exercise

upon to consider option clause.
2. The quantity required under shortfall NRM indent is only 6 sets, as such it may
be adjusted from the stock available to meet the requirement and as the DP is
far ahead i.e 31.12.2015 it would be prudent to watch the market rate/rates of

accordingly.

Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option


clause on M/s. Sanrok enterprises/Faridabad as the rates received in
subsequent new tender are on higher side.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1. It is stated that a new tender was opened on 08.05.2015 in which the
lowest technically suitable firm quoted Rs.2,48,297.91each (AIR) (L/F482 ante) and Part I firm rate is Rs.2,69,500 each, whereas the subject
POs rates is Rs.2,47,988.91 each and Rs.274597.16 each respectively.
In view of the financial advantage TC recommended to operated +30%
option clause on M/s. Sanrok Enterprises/Faridabad for a quantity of 2
sets and as against Part I source M/s. Escorts ltd, the rates received in
the new tender is lower than the instant PO and since the firm has
completed supplies on 24.04.15, lower rate cannot be imposed. Hence
+30% option clause is exercised on M/s. Sanrok Enterprises/Faridabad

2. It is stated that the performance of M/s. Sanrok Enterprises/Faridbad is
satisfactory. However, it is learnt that the firm M/s.Sridhar Rubber &

The proposal submitted in connection with exercising of (+) 30% Option Clause on the
above subject item Purchase Orders has been examined and the following are the
observations.
1. The reasons for granting extension at the first instance without finance concurrence
may be elucidated.
2. CTE has stated Vide N/73 that as lower rates were received for the subject item
opened on 05.05.2015, as such if the firm agrees on counter offer with present rate
the balance quantity i.e 578 MT may be processed duly extending the DP without
LD, but the same was silent in your note.
3. As a part of vigilance investigation out of 3 samples 2 samples were found not
confirming to specifications and advised the quantity of grease shall not be used on
the track till the material is tested jointly and found acceptable, the outcome of this
letter dated 08.08.2014 addressed to all consignee may be placed on file. Whether
the material supplied is put in use and the test certificate confirms to the
specifications may be confirmed.
4. Further it was advised by railway Board to curtail the ordered quantity, COS in turn

quantity is curtailed it will have to be procured again, outcome of the letter, whether
agreed by Railway Board, details may be placed on file.
5. A certificate to the effect that No loss/inconvenience caused to Railways may be
placed on file.
6. It is also stated in your note that though firm adhering to delivery schedules,
because of the instructions of Sr. Officials of PCE office to withhold the supplies,
firm has forced to restrict the supplies, which has affected the delivery schedule, but
PCE office has stated that firm has not been advised anything from Hd qrts about
withholding of supplies which is contradictory the same may be clarified and in case
if there is delay on account of firms LD has to be levied.
7. Calculation of LD with that of the proposed extension of DP and rate obtained in the
new tender may be worked out and appropriate action taken accordingly for the
financial benefit of Railways.
8. Clear reasons be recorded, as to why LD should not be levied for delayed supply as
per extant rules.

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+) 30% option
clause on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/C&W, which is placed
at folio-1/C may kindly be perused.
For procurement of the above subject item three Purchase Order have
been placed on (i)M/s. Jai Multi engg Co/Punjab (AIR- Rs.3395 per No) (ii). M/s.
Rine engg P vt Ltd/Baddi(AIR- Rs.3398 per No) (iii). M/s. Frontier Alloy Steels
Ltd/Kanpur(AIR Rs.3398 per No) with the acceptance of COS for a total value
of Rs.4,17,86,470(L/F-N/46) with (+)30% option clause.
Now, Stores branch is proposing to exercise (+)30% quantity option
clause on M/s. Jai Multi Engg co/Punjab only as the rates received in
subsequent new tender opened on 20.08.2015 is on higher side. As against
other firms DP expired before opening of the new tender i.e 31.07.2015.
Earlier, this office has returned the proposal for submitting the Finalized
TC minutes of tender opened on 20.08.2015 for the subject item to access the
rate reasonability and also to submit a copy of indent for the proposed option
clause quantity. In reply it is stated that New tender TC at SAG level which
has not yet meet and rates are more i.e 30% higher than Last purchase rate,

and there is no possibility to finalize new tender in the next one month and
also as the DP of the subject PO is expiring on 30.09.2015, it is requested to
concur the proposal to avail financial advantage.
As against the indent it is mentioned that indent will be attached at the
time of issue of MPO. Reasons for not submitting the copy of indent at this
moment is not understood as new tender for the subject item is floated for a
quantity of 19801Nos for MFT and RYPS depots.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1. It is stated that a new tender was opened on 20.08.2015 in which the
eligible Part I/Part II tenderer has quoted AIR rate of Rs.4,501.09per
No/4,402.03 per No respectively. The instant PO AIR rate is Rs.3,398
per No/RS.3,395 per No. The New tender was not finalized. As the DP
of the subject PO is expiring on 30.09.2015 and as the new tender rate is
higher, it is financially advantageous to Railways in exercising (+)30%
quantity option clause for a quantity of 553 No.
2. It is stated that the performance of the firm is satisfactory. The firm has
supplied 1750 Nos out of the total ordered quantity of 1844Nos i.e supplied
95% and DP is ahead for the balance quantity.
3. The Delivery Period of the subject PO is available upto 30.09.15

-oOoA proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+) 30% option
clause on the above subject item, received from Dy.CMM/C&W, which may
kindly be perused.
It is proposed by Stores Branch to exercise +30% option clause on M/s/
Jai Multi engg co/Punjab @ Rs.3,395 per No. It is observed that rate has come
down/coming down in recently opened tenders in WCR & ER(F/646,647) and
surprisingly the same firm has quoted lower rate in these railways.
It is also observed that in the recently opened tender in SCR on
20.08.15, M/s. Jai Multi Engg Co/Punjab has quoted Rs.4,544(F/639 of link file).
The newly opened tender for this item is yet to be convened as
mentioned by CMM and at this date, the final conclusion of the TC is not
known. However the rates are reducing and as the same firm is quoting lesser
rate elsewhere. There is likelihood of the firm reducing their rate against
newly opened tender which cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, signifying concurrence at rate of Rs3,395 has financial
implication and may not be in order, in view of lesser rates received in other
Railways.
Hence, COS is requested to take a conscious decision as he is the
accepting authority for both the cases and also to explore the possibility of
asking firm to accept lesser rate of Rs.3,280/- for option clause quantities also
or any other still lesser rate which may be subsequently finalized by TC.
This issues the approval of FA&CAO/S&W.

For procurement of the above subject item Four Purchase Orders have
been placed on (i). M/s.Celtek Batteries Pvt Ltd/SBC(Part II Source)(AIR
Rs.1,06,300.80 per set) (ii). Lead Acid Battery Co Pvt Ltd/Kolkata

Batteries Pvt Ltd/Bangalore.(Part I Source)(AIR Rs.1,09,362.62 per
set) and at a total value of Rs. 2,18,72,524/- with the acceptance of COS (L/FN/31).
COS has processed the case for exercising 30% option clause on the
four firms as per the SAG recommendations in the subsequent tender.
However, it is noticed that as against M/s. Exide Industries Ltd and M/s.
Southern Batteries Pvt Ltd firms has supplied only 40% and 20% respectively
and the DP for the above firms is upto 31.12.2015. As such it is premature to
exercise option clause on this date, as DP is far ahead and performance is also
low. Further as against M/s. Celtek Batteries, DP is expiring on 30.09.2015 ,
but the firm could not submit the material as on date, hence option clause
cannot be exercised, as such performance of the firm is not satisfactory.
Further, as against M/s. Lead Acid Battery co Ltd, the firm has supplied the
entire ordered quantity as on date and also subsequent TC has recommended
to exercised 30% option clause for a quantity of 8 sets against the said PO.
Earlier this office has returned the proposal twice for non submission of
Performance and to compare the rates with other Railway rates recently
opened, in reply Dy.CMM/E has stated that the firm M/s. Lead Acid Battery CO
Pvt Ltd/Kolkata has supplied the entire quantity and as against other firms
supply is under process and as DP is expiring on 30.09.2015 it is requested to
concur the proposal. Further, stated that verified with IREPS and found no
results was shown on other Railways for the subject item.

The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1. The proposal is being initiated based on the recommendations of the
subsequent tender committee. It is stated that a new tender was opened on
10.06.2015 for the subject item. The All inclusive rate accepted in the new
tender against Part II firm is Rs.1,17,073.35(AIR) whereas the instant PO rate
is Rs.1,06,422.40 per set and updated rate is Rs.1,13,449.04. As the rates of
instant PO is lower than the subsequent tender it is financially beneficial to
Railways, SAG tender committee has recommended to invoke (+)30% option
clause (L/F-308) on the instant PO for a total quantity of 80 sets(F/325), which
was accepted by COS. It is further certified vide N/39 that from July 2014 to till
date No tender was opened for the subject item which was verified in IREPS.
2. It is certified by the stores department that the performance of the firm is
satisfactory. However, M/s. Exide Industries Ltd and M/s. Southern Batteries
Pvt Ltd firm has supplied only 40% and 20% respectively and M/s.celtek
Batteris has not commenced the supplies, firm over phone has informed that
they are yet to offer the material for RITES inspection and it is presumed by
executive that firm would seek extension. As regards to Lead Acid the firm has
supplied the total ordered quantity of 26 sets on 12.09.2015(F/350).

firms for a quantity of 3558Nos( i.e 712+2846nos) as per the recommendations of
the Subsequent tender opened on 28.07.2015.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the observations:
1.

On verification of the case file, it is observed that a new tender was


opened for the subject item on 28.07.2015, wherein lower rates were
received when compared to LPO rates. The all inclusive rate of Last
purchase Orders rate is Rs.4282 & 4596.90 per No ). But, the all inclusive
rate received in new tender(L1) is Rs. 3825 for MFT and Rs.3850 for
RYPS(L/F.1626). As such, TC recommended to exercise (-)30% option clause
on (i). M/s.Cosmic Ferro Alloys Ltd/Kolkata against Po.NO.91006

2. It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to accept the
lower rate of Rs.3605.36 per unit vide F/1613,1614, but the firms refused
to accept the offer(F/1615,1616). As such, it is proposed to cancel 3558Nos
duly exercising (-)30% option clause on the firm.
3. As the original tender was finalized with SAG tender committee and
accepted by COS, the above proposal requires the concurrence of
FA&CAO/S&W for exercising (-)30% option clause.
4. The proposal to exercise (-)30% option clause has the approval of CMM

5. The delivery period for the subject POs is available upto 30.04.2016.

1.

Earlier, the proposal was returned with some observations vide


letter placed at Flag-B, which may kindly be perused. As the
proposal was submitted without the validity of delivery period,
Finalized TC minutes of newly opened tender and not submitted
or compared with other railway rate for the subject item as the
present tender was not finalized.

2. In response to finance observations, Stores department


resubmitted the proposal duly stating that the tender opened on
25.09.2015 at SAG level will take time and if option clause at
lower rate is not exercised, there will be financial loss. As
against extension/refixing of delivery period it is stated that LOA
already issued to the firms for operation of +30% option clause
i.e on 29.09.2015(F/538 to 540) and while issuing of MPO
vetting will be taken and competent authority approval apart
from extension of DP. Further stated that it may also be
examined if projection of proposal of CMM can be done at
appropriate level or Sr.AFA level itself.
The proposal was initiated based on the higher rates
received in the subsequent tender opened on 25.09.2015 in
SCRly, the Lowest eligible firm has quoted AIR of
RS.933.18/Rs.876.21(Part I/partII firm) whereas the instant PO
rate is Rs.898.77/Rs.837.64 Per No. As the TC was not finalized
and as the DP is expired on 30.09.2015, the proposal was
returned with the observations placed at Flag-B

Now, Stores branch has resubmitted the proposal, duly


endorsed made to FA&CAO/S&W by CMM/M and stated that
Finalized TC minutes cannot be made available now as it is SAG
case and may take some more time.
To take advantage of lower rate LOA issued at F/538 to 540
on 29.09.2015 while issue of MPO vetting will be taken and
competent authority approval apart from extension of DP and
hence requested FA&CAO/S&W to see the case and concur the
proposal for option clause.
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
1. Option clause is available for three firms only as against
M/s.Pegasus Hose, delivery period expired on 31.07.2015 i.e before
opening of new tender itself hence option clause not exercised.
2. Performance of the firm is certified as satisfactory, and all the
firms has supplied the entire ordered quantity.
3. Rates of other Railway not placed on file.
4. Rate is compared with tender opened on 25.09.2015(SC Rly), but
TC is not yet finalized.
5. Rate quoted by the lowest offer in the new tender( TC not yet
finalized) opened on 25.09.2015 is
RS.933.18/Rs.876.21(Part
I/partII firm) whereas the instant PO rate is Rs.898.77/Rs.837.64
Per No.
6. Indent has not been placed
7. Quantity available under option clause is 6144Nos
8. Delivery period for the said POs is expired on i.e 30.09.2015.
9. As per Railway Board letter dated 12.03.2010, option clause has to
be exercised within original/extended delivery period.
Since With the exercise of above option clause, the revised
value will be with in the powers of original accepting authority
ie.,COS. As such, the proposal requires the concurrence of
FA&CAO/S&W.

In view of the above ,if approved COS will be advised to


take necessary action as per Boards directives and in order to
avail the financial advantage the case may be resubmitted duly
refixing the delivery period. Further as the new tender opened on
25.09.2015 is not yet finalized as such the rates may be
compared with other railway rates to access the rate
reasonability and case resubmitted for concurrence.

Optical Ltd/Rewa with the acceptance of GM for a total value of
Rs.22,47,54,238.15(L/F-N/67).
Now,COS has processed the case for extension of Delivery
period against PO.NO.34009 dt:17.01.2015 placed on M/s.Manoj
Cables Ltd/Delhi for supply of 38.3Kms cable. The original
Delivery period of the above said PO is 30.06.2014.
The firm has supplied 18.524 Kms and for balance quantity
of 19.78Km is under inspection and are awaiting for DP extension.
Dy.CSTE/P/BZA, Sr.DSTE/BZA vide letter dated
05.06.2014 (F/793)& 08.10.14(F/1001)have informed both the
firm and COS that the funds will not be spared for payment of
cable bills. Hence it is requested the firm to supply the same after
three months in consultation with Railways and requested to take
necessary extension. Based on which firm requested for extension
of DP upto 30.09.2014 (F/827). COS has given extension upto
30.09.2014 with LD and DC without Finance concurrence. Firm
vide lr dated 13.07.14(F/872),(F/978), further requested that as
hold on supply was done by Railways as such delivery should be
extended without imposing of LD and DC. But no action was taken
for the same.
Firm vide their letter dated 22.08.2014(F/917) has requested
for extension of DP without LD and DC for further period of 3
months from the date of issue of modification advice. It is seen
that a new tender was opened subsequently in W.Rly on
01.09.2014 wherein lower rates were received when compared with
the updated rate of instant PO(comparision/calculation sheet
placed at N/95). By levying LD is advantageous, hence COS has
approved extension of DD with Full LD and DC upto 31.12.2014
without Finance Concurrence.

Firm vide F/1013 has not agreed for the extension given and
requested for re-fixing/extension of DP without LD as the indentors
(Dy.CSTE.Tele, Dy.CSTE/P/BZA and Sr.DSTE/BZA request firm
vide F/1001,798 for postponement of supplies due to acute
shortage of funds. As such a proposal was processed to finance.
But the same was returned on 08.12.2014 for want of detailed
justification along with the views of PHOD of consuming
department and COS.
Again for the subject item lower rates were received, as per
the advice, firm vide F/1070 has requested for re-fixation of
DD/Extension without LD for the balance unsupplied quantity
and also agreed to accept latest negotiated lower rate of the latest
tender @ RS.1,72,743.46 (AIR Rs.2,21,529.28). Accordingly MPO
were issued duly vetted by Stores Finance F/1088,1092 duly refixing of DP upto 31.07.2015.
Even after re-fixing the DP, firm could not supply the
material and requested further extension upto 31.12.2015 vide
F/1266. Firm stated that balance quantity of 19.463Km is under
inspection as per call letter for inspection dated 16.07.15 and they
are awaiting for delivery period extension from SCR for the
dispatch of this cables and also mentioned that payment of Rs.
43,38,073 is outstanding and requested to re-fix delivery period
without LD and DC upto 31.12.2015.
However, as per the
information given by DSTESW/BZA that the bill for the subject
items was issued by Sr.DSTE/BZA for the supplied quantity and
sent to Sr.DFM/BZA for arranging payment for an amount of Rs.
43,38,073. The delay is because of one drum cut in two pieces and
RDSO clarification is ascertained. The clarification was received
from RDSO on 24.08.2015.
Subsequently a new tender was opened on 09.06.2015
wherein lower rate were received AIR @ Rs.2,18,081.25 as
compared with the updated rate of the present Po Rs.2,26,784.88.

The comparison of lower rate difference and LD is worked


out as under:
Old tender AIR rate duly updated :
2,26,781.83(F/1282)
New tender AIR

By levying LD @ 6%

:
2,18,081.25
-------------------------8,700.58
-------------------------226781.83*6/100
=13606.91

Hence imposition of LD is advantageous.

As per SOP part D Sl.No. 5 Note 1(b) Finance concurrence


is required for extension/Waival of delivery period where AGM/GM
are tender accepting authority. Hence the proposal requires the
concurrence of FA&CAO/S&W.
In view of the above, as imposing LD is advantageous and
even after extending the DP the firm could not adhere to the
supplies in time. As such, if approved we may agree for the
proposed extension of delivery period for 60 days from the date of
issue of MPO with Full LD and DC for balance unsupplied
quantity of 19.78Kms.

As the procurement of newly opened tender is for the


CP period 01.06.2016 to 31.05.2017 and as TC is not
yet finalized and also the delivery period for the existing
PO is upto 31.03.2016 . As such it is premature to
exercise option clause presently. After the outcome of the

new tender and as per market rates, option clause can be


exercised.
4. Yes, Option clause can be exercised if the quantities
stipulated in the PO were fully supplied and terminal DP
still exists subject to Rates obtained in the newly opened
tender and market rates are higher than the instant PO
and it is advantageous to Railways and quantity
requirement is urgent in nature.
In view of the above, if approved the proposal will be
returned duly advising the executive to resubmit the

A proposal seeking finance concurrence for operating (+)
30% option clause on the above subject item, received from
Dy.CMM/G, which is placed at Folio- 1,2/C may kindly be perused.

For procurement of the above subject item a Purchase


Order was placed on M/s.Ganpati Laminators & Packagers
Pvt Ltd/Kolkata(AIR- Rs.6.52 per mtr) with the acceptance of
CMM for a total value of Rs.1,30,40,000(L/F-N/12).
The proposal has been examined and the following are the
observations:
1. The proposal is being initiated based on the higher rates
received in subsequent tender. It is stated that a new tender
was opened on 02.07.2015 for the subject item. The All
inclusive rate quoted in the new tender is Rs.7.84 per Mtr(TC
not finalized), whereas the instant PO rate is Rs.6.52 per Mtr.
As the rates of instant PO is lower than the subsequent tender
it is financially beneficial to Railways to operate option clause,
the other railway rates are:

It is also to mention that, as the firm has not supplied the


quantity against present tender, PRP action was initiated for a
quantity of 9,20,000mtrs. Further, as the firm has offered the
material for inspection the PRP tender was postponed by 15days
and a corrigendum was issued vide F/187, duly extending the
due date for PRP tender as 17.11.2015.
2. It is stated that the performance of the firm is satisfactory.
But, the firm has supplied 10,80,000mtrs out of the ordered
quantity of 20,00,000Rmtrs i.e supplies made 54%, DP is
about to expire on 16.11.2015 and it is confirmed by
Dy.CMM/G that the balance quantity is yet to be received in
the depot.
3. Initially the proposal was processed for exercising 30% option
clause for a quantity of 6,00,000Mtrs. Finance has returned

the proposal vide F/201 stating to review the requirement as


the monsoon season is coming to end. In reply Dy.CMM/G has
confirmed that the current year monsoon is managed by the
current year issues . As per the quantity review by MFT at
F/202 quantity required for 2016-17 is 1,35,277mtrs. Hence

The proposal submitted in connection with exercising of (+)


30% Option Clause on the above Purchase Order has been
examined and following observations have been made:
Examining option clause and concurring them without the
TC finalized is not as per rules and practice. The new tender was
opened in july15 and 4 months are over. The reasonability of rate
has not been examined by a TC nor quantity review done by them.
It is very difficult to concur option clause simply because higher
rates are being obtained we dont know what the TC may decide
with new tender.
Therefore it is advised that tenders should be finalized in
time so that option clause can be also operated in time.
Further, DP may be extended and TC finalized on priority
after which option clause can be decided upon.
The case file is returned herewith.
This issues with the approval of Dy.CAO/S&W

the subject matter has been discussed with FA&CAO/S&W on 12.11.15
during the course of some other TC meeting at SAG level. As per
Finance stand the rates of other Railway may be taken note of while

Also mentioned that LPR is Rs.3395/-(AIR) new tender is still

(ii)

It is observed from the case file that the firm was advised to
accept the lower rate of Rs.429.89 per No, but the firm has
accepted lower rate on 30% quantity of GTPL i.e 4457Nos only

that above mentioned firms (M/s. Rine Engg P ltd has supplied
30% supplies and M/s. Jai Multi Engg Co has not yet
commenced the supplies) has not yet improved the supplies
though the file was returned earlier. Hence performance of the
firm is to be improved upon to consider option clause.

demand quantity of 240Nos is taken and tender floated may be

resubmitted again vide N-34 and ref-2 with detailed remarks from N/29 to N/34 of the
Case file and now proposing extension of DP to 30.06.16.
In this context this office internal notings N/1 toN/11 may be please be perused
where the proposal has been discussed in detail. The Proposal resubmitted vide N-34 was
discussed in detail with the executive and advised to furnish itemwise remarks to the
following aspects.

(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)

As per Bill payment details there is not much scarcity of funds which is
said to be the reason for not lifting material from the site and requiring
extension of DP.
Recovery of LD by Accounts during Dec13 to March14 and which was
also advised by vigilance (f/162)
Whether the quantity of sleepers proportionate to the LD recovered is since
cancelled and extension is sought for remaining quantities.
Whether LD is to be recovered from future bills as advised vide y.CE/TrackII Lr dated 05.05.15 at f/163.
Basis for arriving at the extended dated of 30.06.16.
The case file resubmitted vide ref-2 addressed to all the above aspects raised
by this office viz.,

(i)

No bills were submitted for payment from august 2014 to Jan15. As far as
movement of Bills is concerned only those Bills certified for Funds availability
will be submitted for payment and may not represent the status of Funds
availability.
The position of Manufactured and dispatched sleepers as on 31/08/14

At present Sufficient funds are available (f/227) to meet the above liability and
they may lapse if not utilized by the end of this financial year.
(ii)

In respect of imposition of LD, it has been stated that as per clause 11.0 of the
Agt, 5% of the cost of the sleepers unsupplied shall be recovered in case of (1)
Delay is on account of the supplier and (2) Zonal Railway cancels athe quantities

at the end of the monitoring period. It is stated that LD was recovered by


Accounts directly without cancelling the quantities as mentioned above.
Clause 11.0 of the Agt (f/25): In case of failure on the part of the supplier to
arrange supplies as per the schedule fixed in advance, save Force Majeure
conditions and / or delays attributable to the railways, the purchaser reserves
the right to cancel the quantity in deficit at the end of monitoring period ie., 4
months and recover from the defaulting contractor a sum equivalent to 5% of
the cost of Turnout sleers which have remained unsupplied. The shortfall in
suplies due to default by the contractor may be made good by arranging
equivalent supplies from alternate sources. The recovery of five percent as
detailed above will be effected only when, Zonal Railway cancel the quantities
in deficit at the end of monitoring period. In case, Zonal Railway do not
cancel the quantities in deficit at the end of monitoring period, the supplier
will be entitled to recoup the shortfall in subsequent monitoring period(s).
In this context Dy.CE/Track-II Lr dated 05.05.15 at f/163 is to be connected
Wherein it is stated that As per clause No. 10&11 of the above mentioned
agreement, penalty of 5% in the form of LD is to be recovered for supplies not
made as per the schedule, from the bills submitted by the firm and Dy
CVO/E/SC was advised of the above instructions to Accounts Dept vide their
letter dated 11.08.15 at F/165.
The stand taken by Dy CE/Track in respect of recovery of LD is ambivalent.
However in the letter at ref-2 Dy CE/Tr II submitted that it is prudent to grant
extension for the existing agreement without penalty to save the delay in time for
calling new tenders.
(iii)
(iv)

The quantity of sleepers for which the LD was imposed is not cancelled as
the turnout sleepers are required by this Railway. Hence extension is sought
for the entire quantity.
As no quantity is being cancelled the LD already recovered is also to be
reimbursed if the agency completes the manufacture and supply of the entire
Agt quantity.

(v)

Further extension from 29.02.16 to 30.06.16 is proposed as the Agency


requires six months for manufacture of further quantity.

(vi)

The decision to extend the DP of the subject Agt is advantageous in view of


the reasons brought out at item-9 at N-32 of the case file. Viz., Against
existing Agreements, two Plants KDP (50 sets) and KVR ((58 sets) are
unlikely to produce the quantity. By giving DP extension these quantities can
be allotted to the subject Agreement.

(vii)

Financial justification is submitted vide item.12 at N-33 of the case file by


working out the updated cost of one set of turn out as per the available indices.
Basic cost of one set as pet Agt
As on original DP Dt.24.04.14
As on extended DP Dt. 31.8.14
As on extended DP Dt. Sept15

Rs. 3,17,190.00
Rs. 3,24,764.81
Rs. 3,35,715.00
Rs.2,93,485.58

In view of the above clarifications it is proposed to concur the subject Proposal for
extension of DP without LD and without PVC upto 30/06/15. This requires the
Concurrence of FA&CAO/S&W vide item 5c under Part D of SOP.
Submitted please.

Sr AFA/SF

(viii)

The LD recovered @5% on 9736.75 RM works out to 29 Equivalent sets


of 1 im 12 turnout sleeper sets. As per clause 11 of Agt if this quantity is
cancelled the balance quantity to be supplied works out to 14 sets. However
as there is a requirement for the 1 in 12 Turnout by openline and Construction
it is proposed to extend the DP without LD.

In the conclusion of the executives Notings

it is not specified if the quantity of sleepers on which the LD is imposed is


since cancelled and extension is sought for remaining quantities.

-oThe subject Proposal is for operation of + 30% option clause against POs on six
firms issued vide T.No. PC.30.14.3628 finalized in March15. The 30% option Proposal
is initiated in the month of August 2015 as the rates received in the latest Tender No.
PC.30.15.3628 Dt. 18/8/15 were on the high side.
T.No. PC.30.14.3628 Dt. 23.12.14: AIR Rs. 299.99 POs issued on six
firms.
T.No. PC.30.15.3628 Dt. 18.08.15: AIR from L1 Rs. 312.50.
The instant Tender on which +30% option clause is proposed is an SAG level TC
case accepted by PHOD. The proposal is under correspondence duly seeking following
details vide this office letters at ref-1.( f/667 & 668 of case file)
1. Finalized TC minutes copy for tender opened on 18.08.15 Since submitted
vide folios 712 to 722 of case file.
2. Copy of Indent for operation of +30% option clause

3. It is premature to exercise option clause as the DP of the subject case is far


ahead i.e., 31.03.16 and it would be prudent to watch the market rate/rates of
other railways in due course of time.
4. Latest firm wise performance and unsupplied quantity against the purchase
orders since submitted vide N/66 of case file.
5. To know the trend, latest Other Railway rates available to be furnished Since
submitted at N/67 of case file Rs. 314.52.
In this context following are the observations:

As can be seen from the details at folio 5/c of section notings and N/66 of case
file the rate of supply by the six Firms on which it is proposed to operate +30%
option clause is very slow. Delivery Date is staggered i.e., different for each
consignee and the latest being 31.03.16. Only one Firm has completed 100%
supply, two Firms not commenced supply so far and remaining three Firms
supplied 34%, 36% & 67% only.
Delivery Date is being extended vide folios 696 to 699 of case file.
In the mean while suspecting cartel formation the Tender No. PC.30.15.3628
Dt. 18.08.15 in which higher rates were received was discharged vide Tender
Committee proceedings accepted by COS on 26/11/15 (folios 712 to 722 of case
file)
P.T.O.,

In view of the above if approved the subject Proposal will be returned duly
advising that it is too early to operate +30% option clause on the POs of six Firms under
the following circumstances:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)

The Tender in which higher rates were received being discharged (f/712 of
case file)
Staggered Delivery periods for the six firms which are being futher extended
due to slow progress in supply (N/66 & f/696 to 699 of case file)
Terminal DP being 31.03.16 it is too early to operate +30% operation clause

2. As per correspondence and the notings in the case file, the POH outturn of
AC coaches at CRS/TPTY in the current year enhanced from Seven to Nine
Coaches per month. The AAC of the Batteries at CRS/TPTY for the year 201415 was 36 and 15-16 was 51. Hence it can be seen that in the current year
there is an additional demand for 2 X 12=24 additional Batteries as compared
to previous trend. In addition to preponing a quantity of 12 sets of Batteries in
the subject two POs another Four sets were proponed against PO No. 91889 Dt.
21.814 as can be seen at N/10. Thus a total of sixteen Sets have been supplied
to CRS/TPTY by preponing DPs of three different POs.

2. As on date of finalizing the Tender for POs 91926 & 91927(July15, N-8 to
N-18) the AAC of CRS/TPTY for 2015-16 was 30 sets. Subsequently as
per CESEs Note to CMM/Elect (f/168) Dt. 20.10.15 the outturn target of
POH of AC coaches at CTRS/TPTY was increased from 7 coaches/month
to 9 coaches/month. Subsequently the cosumption of 1100AH Batteries
enhanced from 30 sets to 43 sets per anum. AS on November 2015 (N21),23 sets were drawn and additional requirement was projected as 26 sets.
In order to meet the increased demand during the current year vide N21 and N-25 COS approval was obtained for preponing delivery of 16 sets of
Batteries to current year which were originally scheduled for delivery in the
next financial year.
From the above it can be seen that as against immediate additional
requirement of 26 sets, a quantity of 16 sets was delivered by preponing next
years scheduled delivery. There is still a shortfall of 10 sets for the current
year. Further, as a cascading effect there would be a shortfall in the scheduled
supply for the next year.
3. The instant Tender for six sets of Batteries which is cancelled (f/207 to
210)duly recommending to procure the same by operating Option clause on POs
91926 and 91927 Dt 13.815 is based on an NS indent dated 23/12/14. This
NS indent was preferred as One time measure to meet the additional demand
for 2014-15.

4. The Zero based analysis of Valvae Regulated Lead Acid Battery submitted by
WAO/CRS/TPTY is placed alongside please. As per which the additional
requirement for 2015-16 can be met by finalizing the Procurement action
against NS Indent No. 004119 Dt. 23.12.14.

exercise option clause at this juncture and it would be prudet to watch
the
market rates of other railways through IREPS and
(iii) to place a copy of the Demand for exercising option clause quantity on

The Proposal is resubmitted vide ref-3 duly submitting the following
clarifications:

No.PC.30.14.3592.
-oThe Proposal for exercising of +30% option clause on the subject three
POs is examined and following are the observations:
(i) As per the notings the Firms have not commenced supplies so far as
the DD is said to be ahead and the Performance has been certified as
satisfactory. However in PO NOs 92164 and 70119 Dt 3.9.15 on M/s
Atul Engg Udyog the earliest DD is 14.12.15. Reasons for the delay in
supply and action taken by the Railways in this regard is to be placed
on record.
(ii) The subject Proposal has been ititated as the rates received in the
latest Tender No. 30.15.3592 Dt. 18/12/15 are on the high side,
withL1 being 9379/-. However it is noted that Tender committee has
not yet convened for this Tender. As such it is premature to assume
that L1 is high without conducting negotiations.
(iii) As the terminal DPs are 14.3.16 & 15.6.16 the Proposal for operation
of +30% option clause on these POs at this juncture is too early and
may be considered after the Firms start delivery as per Schedule.
(iv) From the case file it is seen that the Firms have already been advised
of operating the +30% option quantity. Issuing the same without
Finance concurrence and sanction of the competent authority is
irregular.
The Proposal is returned herewith.

The tender committee in the Quantity review arrived at NPQ of 801 sets. However as
the updated AIRs of the existing POs 56 & 58 are found to be on the lower side the TC
recommended to operate +30% option quantity on the two PO viz., 56 & 58 against an
exisiting Indent of SSE/PWE/KZJ for 319 sets of IMSEJs for Drg No. 6902 (f/549).

the delivery schedule except during the first quarter. The recovery of LD details for delay
during the first quarter is to be ascertained from the bills section(F/567).

2. Dy CE/Track-IIs Note No. W.498/1/37/MUT/Composite Sleepers
/Tie-Tek designDt. 17.1.16 (N/14 of executive case file).
-oThe subject Proposal is for inviting Single Tender from M/s Patil Rail
Infrastructures Ltd., to supply 86 Nos of Composite Sleepers with Tie-Tek Design USA
at an estimated value of Rs. 8,43,144/- for SC Division.
In this context following are the observations:

Railway Board vide their letter No. 2003/TK-II/22/11/78 dated 31/10/2005


(F/198) with the concurrence of Finance Directorate advised RDSO to circulate
the approved technical specifications among all Zonal Railways incorporating
the same in tender document for procurement of Composite Sleepers of Tie Tek
design for extended field trial.

Accordingly open tenders were invited and PO awarded to M/s Patil Rail
Infrastructure (pvt) ltd., (PRIL) vide PO No. 4981 Dt. 14.9.2007 (f/196) for
supply of 1209 Nos of Titek design Composite Sleepers for a total value of Rs.
1,28,93,436/-. However the firm M/s PRIL ws unable to supply the imported
sleepers inspite of extension of Delivery Period for four years upto 30.09.2011
as it was unable to get clearance from RDSO. The said PO was therefore
cancelled duly recovering LD @ 10% of value of delayed supplies amounting to
Rs. 12,89,344/-.

Railway Board vide their letters dated 24/8/12 (f/181) & Dt. 6/2/13 (f/180)
have repeatedly addressed all Zonal Railways to expediate the field trials of the
Composite Sleepers.

The Firm M/s PRIL approached this Railway vide their letter datd 6.4.12 (&
19.6.12 (f/13 & 24 of exec. file) and stated that now the RDSO has issued
clearance and the first lot of Compsite Sleepers of Tie tek design USA have
since been supplied to Northern Railway.

In the light of the above developments CTE/SCR addressed a letter to Railway


Board (f/16 of exec. File) dated 16/5/12 duly requesting to advise whether the
extended Field trials of Tie-Tek design Composite sleepers approved by Railway
Board in 2007 can be taken up by SCR.
Contd.,
To the above Railway Board vide therir letter dated 3/7/12 (f/26 of exec. File)
replied to expeditiously undertake the extended Field trials of the Tie-Tek
design USA Composite Sleepers as well as Limited Field Trials of
Composite sleepers of M/s Recycle Technologies Inc USA and M/s
Integrico Inc Companies USA.

Based on the above instructions Secunderabad Division has submittd a NS


Indent for supply of 86 Nos of Tie Tek design Composite sleepers vide Indent No.
14703355 Dt 18/2/13 (f/40 of exec. Case file)

Consequently in April 2013 PCE Submitted a Proposal to invite single


Tender for procuremen to of the Tie Tek design Sleepers from M/s PRIL for
Finance concurrence.

This proposal after initial correspondence for certain clarifications was finally
returned on 31/5/13 (f/201) duly advising that a performance report may be
called for from those Zonal Railways where the subject Tie Tek design
Composite sleepers are already being used.

After prolonged correspondence by the Executive with the Northern Railway the
Performance Report was finally submitted by Dy CE/TM of Northern Railway
(f/115 of exec. Case file).

Based on the above Performance Report the Proposal for inviting Single Tender
from M/s PRIL is sresubmitted on 7/1/16 (N/14 of exec. Case file). The
Proposal was returned vide this office letter dated 29.1.16 with the following
observatios:

1. M/s PRIL are importers of the Composite sleepers of TIE-TEK design USA. The
subject Proposal initiated based on NS indent of SC Division Dt. 18.2.13 is
almost three years old. In these three years other Importers could have
developed in the Country for importing the subject Sleepers. This needs to be
explored and factual position submitted. (Initial PO of M/s PRIL is dated
14.9.2007).

2. Fuds Certification on the Indent needs to be updated.


3. The Proposal is processed under item 2h, Part D of SOP i.e., Single Tender for
PAC item. A copy of the PAC certificate may be placed on record.
4. In this context attention is drawn to Railway Boards Lr.No. 76/RS(G)/779/55 Dt.
27.10.15 (f/224) wherein it is advised to go for Advertised Tenders even for PAC
items where estimated value of the Purchase is more than Open Tender Limit.
As such the subject Proposal to call for Single Tender is to be reviewed in the
light of these latest instructions even though the estimated Value of the subject
item is within Open tender limit.
Contd..,
5. There is no specific advantage to Railways by calling Single Tender. If there
are any set backs /disadvantages for floating Open Tenders, the same may be
placed on record.
The Proposal is now resubmitted vide their letter dated 29.2.16 (f/226). The
remarks furnished are not satisfactory. In this context it is submitted that Finance
Concurrence has been signified vide N/149 & N/152 for procurement of 200 Nos each
of Composite Sleepers Recycle Technologies USA and Integrico Composite Inc USA
through Northern Railway which has been identified as Nodal Procurement agency.
In view of the inability of the Executive to furnish specific remarks in respect of
availability of other Suppliers for the subject patented item, non issue of PAC
certificate and stating that avoiding cost of Advertising as the only criteria for opting of
Single Tender, the Proposal for inviting Single Tender is not justified.
Concurrence to the above is within the purview of FA&CAO.

-oThe subject Proposal is for exercising of +30% option clause on the two POs
mentioned above against M/s ITC Ltd.. PCE has accorded administrative approval for
operation of +30% option clause. The Proposal is examined and following are the
observations:
1. Initially open tenders were invited vide T.No. GM/W/SC/Welding Portion/ 1314/01 Dt. 10.9.13 for Manufacture and supply of welding portions with three

piece pre-fabricated Moulds and other connected consumables suitable for 60


Kg/90 UTS and 52 Kgs/90 UTS and welding sections to all Divisions of SCR.
After negotioations with the L1, the tender was awarded by SAG level TC
(N/12 to N/33) to M/s India Thermit Corporation Limited, Kanpur for a total
value of Rs.10,39,57,390.00 vide PO No. W.509/1/13/PORTIONS/13-14/W6
Dt. 17.7.14.(f/433).
2. Railway Board vide Lr.No.Track/21/2007/010/AT Welding Dt. 03.06.14 advised
to procure welding portions only with Auto tapping thimble. In the PO
mentioned above tender schedule stipulated Manual thimble and RDSO
refused to inspect/pass the welding portions supplied by M/s ITC with Manual
thimble.
As Auto tapping thimble of other firms is not compatible to the portions
supplied by M/s ITC/Kanpur, it had become necessary to procure th Auto
tapping thimble from M/s ITC only through a single tender with finance
concurrence (N/38) and the approval of GM (N/40). Accordingly single Tender
was awarded to M/s ITC for supply of 51,830 Nos of ATT @ Rs.295/- and a total
value of Rs. 1,52,89,850.00. (N/3 to N/10 of case file No.
