The SPC is crucial as it is incorporated by the Selected Bidder to enter into and execute the Concession Agreement. It conducts due diligence, facilitates the transfer of site rights, although these do not include ownership, ensuring compliance with the concession terms. The SPC must be formed before the concession agreement is signed and is pivotal in meeting obligations such as performance security and financial commitments .
The financial experience of an associate entity can be considered if each sole bidder or consortium member relying on this experience submits an undertaking on a Non-Judicial Stamp Paper, duly notarized, stating the nature of their legal relationship. This must be supported by evidence of equity shareholding to meet financial eligibility criteria. These documents must be consularized if executed outside India, except for countries adhering to The Hague Convention .
The bidder offering the highest Financial Bid Concession Fee, provided the Bid is responsive per the INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS and Bid Forms outlined in RFP Part I, is declared as the Selected Bidder. If there is a tie in the highest concession fee quoted, the Corporation asks the Tie Bidders to submit a revised Financial Bid using the initially quoted amount as the Base Price. The tie is resolved by awarding the bid to the highest offer in the revised submission .
The EMD acts as a security deposit retaining commitment from bidders. It's forfeited if the Selected Bidder fails to acknowledge the LoA or meet financial commitments like the Concession Fee. For unsuccessful bidders, the EMD is returned post issuance of the LoA, ensuring financial discipline and seriousness among participants .
If the Successful Bidder does not sign and return the duplicate copy of the LoA within seven days of receipt, unless an extension is granted by the Corporation, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) may be forfeited. This acts as a penalty for failing to meet the bid obligations as initially agreed .
The 45-year concession period mandates the Concessionaire to develop and manage the site per the agreement terms. They must not encumber or create financial obligations on the site, returning it to the Corporation unencumbered at expiration. This requires ongoing responsibilities such as maintenance, compliance with performance standards, and meeting periodic financial commitments .
After receiving the LoA, the Successful Bidder/SPC must acknowledge it within 7 days, provide performance security, and undertake due site diligence. The SPC then coordinates with the authority to prepare an inventory of the site. The Agreement must be signed within 45 days from the LoA issuance, following all stipulated conditions in the bidding documents .
The mode of execution of the Power of Attorney (POA) must comply with applicable laws and organizational charters. Each consortium member must execute the POA, supported by a Board Resolution where applicable. In the case of international execution, the POA must be consularized by the Indian Embassy and notarized, except in countries that have signed The Hague Convention, where an Apostille is sufficient .
The RFP mandates that any document executed overseas, like the Power of Attorney, must be consularized by the Indian Embassy and notarized in the execution jurisdiction unless the country is a member of The Hague Convention, where an Apostille suffices. This ensures legal adherence and validity across jurisdictions for international consortium members .
If the Selection Bidder fails to pay the first annual Concession Fee within the stipulated time, which is before signing the Concession Agreement or 45 days after the issuance of the LoA, the Central Warehousing Corporation has the authority to forfeit the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) and take further action as per the bid documents .
