violation of rules
As per the regulatory guidelines of Central Vigilance Commission, the last date of tender should be at least 21 days after the issue of any tender notice. Issuance of tender within seven days is a violation of the rules. It is a legal matter to convene their pre-tender meeting before the last date to answer the queries of all the tenderers. It is mandatory to publish the corrigendum of the tender meeting at least seven days before the last date of issue of tender. However, the tender for mechanical cleaning was issued in a hurry in just seven days. The pre-tender meeting was abandoned. This is a serious irregularity and in doing so, there is a dubious attempt by the authorities to show leniency towards a particular tenderer.
technical glitch in tender
The technical specifications of the equipment in the tender drawn for any machinery are legally binding. Otherwise the Bidder of the Statement Holder pays the Bid in a different manner as per his/her opinion. There are no technical instructions for road cleaning equipment in this tender. This is a technical glitch in the tender and a serious matter. Municipal officials are planning to issue a two-month tender for cleaning the road, citing the reasons for the clean survey and for some contractors to employ road sweepers. In view of the confusion in the tender process prepared for the last two months and wastage of money in the form of civil tax, the tender should be canceled. Corporator Waghare demanded that the tender should be issued by BS method and it should be implemented immediately.
