GAIL Solicits Bids for Design of 10 MW Grid Connected Solar Power Plant

GAIL 10 MW tender

GAIL has issued a tender for the design, engineering, procurement, supply, construction, erection, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of 10 MW (AC) solar photovoltaic grid-connected power plant at Vijaipur, Guna, Madhya Pradesh.

The last day for submission of bids is July 19, 2023. Bids open on July 20, 2023.

The EMD is INR 50.30 lakhs.

The contractor has to carry out the complete soil investigation of the site, through Government /company approved laboratory before designing various civil structures. The design of all civil foundations for prefabricated/pre-engineered buildings like inverter room and control Room, R.C.C structures, buildings etc. will be carried out considering appropriate seismic and Wind zone of the area. All appropriate loads, wind velocity, seismic factors etc. will be considered as per the relevant IS Specifications while designing any civil structure. Also, the environmental conditions, soil characteristics, atmospheric effect, ground water table level, rain water data, land profile, etc. must be considered as per site actual condition and accordingly appropriate precautions and preventive measures will be
taken while designing the structures. RCC structures will be adopted considering surrounding weather and soil conditions of site and as per the relevant IS codes. The concrete mix design of minimum M20 grade with minimum 350 kilograms of cement content per M3 concrete with admixture shall be carried out in NABL accredited laboratory
approved/suggested by GAIL/GERMI.

The contractor shall take into consideration all parameters like wind speed, seismic zone, safety factor and safe soil bearing capacity (SBC) etc. for the purpose design and construction of civil foundations for all civil work as per relevant IS codes. The contractor shall carryout Shadow Analysis (through use of Shadow simulation software) at the site and accordingly design strings and arrays layout considering optimal usage of space, material and labor. Report of Shadow simulation software shall be submitted compulsorily. All designs and drawings have to be developed based on the governing IS standards and requirements of the project and also keeping in mind basic design specifications.

Last year, GAIL announced that it would invest INR 6000 crore in renewable energy projects and commission 1 GW power in the next three years.
