1.1

INTRODUCTION

The Client named in the "Data Sheet" will select a consultant, in accordance with the
method of selection indicated in the Data Sheet.

1.2

The consultants are invited to submit a Technical Proposal and a Financial Proposal, as
specified in the Data Sheet (the Proposal) for consulting services required for the
Assignment named in the Data Sheet. The Proposal will be the basis for contract
negotiations and ultimately for a signed contract with the selected Consultant.

1.3

Deleted.

1.4

The Consultants must familiarize themselves with local conditions and take them into
account in preparing their Proposals. To obtain first-hand information on the
Assignment and on the local conditions, consultants are encouraged to pay a visit to the
Client before submitting a Proposal, and to attend a pre-proposal conference if one is
specified in the Data Sheet. Attending the pre-proposal conference is optional. The
Consultant's representative should contact the officials named in the Data Sheet to
arrange for their visit or to obtain additional information on the pre-proposal
conference. Consultants should ensure that these officials are advised of the visit in
adequate time to allow them to make appropriate arrangements.

1.5

The Client will provide the inputs specified in the Data Sheet, assist the firm in
obtaining licenses and permits needed to carry out the services, and make available
relevant project data and reports.

1.6

Please note that (i) the costs of preparing the proposal and of negotiating the contract,
including a visit to the Client, are not reimbursable as a direct cost of the Assignment;
and (ii) the Client is not bound to accept any of the Proposals submitted.

1.7

Karnataka State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited [KSIIDC]


expects consultants to provide professional, objective, and impartial advice and at all
times hold the Client's interests paramount, without any consideration for future work,

and strictly avoid conflicts with other assignments or their own corporate interests.
Consultants shall not be hired for any assignment that would be in conflict with their
prior or current obligations to other clients, or that may place them in a position of not
being able to carry out the assignment in the best interest of the Client.
1.7.1

Without limitation on the generality of this rule, consultants shall not be hired
under the circumstances set forth below:
(a)

A firm which has been engaged by the Client to provide goods or


works for a project, and any of their affiliates, shall be disqualified
from providing consulting services for the same project. Conversely,
firms hired to provide consulting services for the preparation or
implementation of a project, and any of their affiliates, shall be
disqualified from subsequently providing goods or works or services
related to the initial assignment (other than a continuation of the firm's
earlier consulting services) for the same project.

(b)

Consultants or any of their affiliates shall not be hired for any


assignment which, by its nature, may be in conflict with another
assignment of the consultants.

1.7.2 As pointed out in para. 1.7.1 (a) above, consultants may be hired for
downstream work, when continuity is essential, in which case this possibility shall
be indicated in the Data Sheet and the factors used for the selection of the
consultant should take the likelihood of continuation into account. It will be the
exclusive decision of the Client whether or not to have the downstream
assignment carried out, and if it is carried out, which consultant will be hired for
the purpose.
1.8

It is KSIIDCs policy to require that consultants observe the highest standard of ethics
during the execution of such contracts. In pursuance of this policy, the KSIIDC:
(a)

defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
(i)

"corrupt practice" means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of


anything of value to influence the action of a public official in the
selection process or in contract execution; and

(ii)

"fraudulent practice" means a misrepresentation of facts in order to


influence a selection process or the execution of a contract to the
detriment of KSIIDC, and includes collusive practices among consultants
(prior to or after submission of proposals) designed to establish prices
at artificial, noncompetitive levels and to deprive KSIIDC of the benefits
of free and open competition.

(b)

will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the firm recommended for
award has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent activities in competing for the
contract in question;

(c)

will declare a firm ineligible, either indefinitely or for a stated period of time,
to be awarded KSIIDC-financed contract if it at any time determines that the
firm has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in competing for, or in
executing, a KSIIDC-financed contract; and

(d)

will have the right to require that, KSIIDC to inspect consultant's accounts and
records relating to the performance of the contract and to have them audited
by auditors appointed by KSIIDC.

1.9

Consultants shall not be under a declaration of ineligibility for corrupt and fraudulent
practices issued by KSIIDC in accordance with the above sub para 1.8 (d).

GENERAL
5.1

From the time the proposals are opened to the time the contract is awarded, if any
consultant wishes to contact the Client on any matter related to its proposal, it should
do so in writing at the address indicated in the Data Sheet. Any effort by the firm to
influence the Client in the Client's proposal evaluation, proposal comparison or contract
award decisions may result in the rejection of the consultant's proposal.

5.2

Evaluators of Technical Proposals shall have no access to the Financial Proposals until
the technical evaluation, including its approval by competent authority is obtained
EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL PROPOSALS

5.3

The evaluation committee appointed by the Client as a whole, and each of its members
individually, evaluates the proposals on the basis of their responsiveness to the Terms
of Reference, applying the evaluation criteria, sub-criteria (typically not more than
three per criteria) and point system specified in the Data Sheet. Each responsive
proposal will be given a technical score (St). A proposal shall be rejected at this stage

10

if it does not respond to important aspects of the Terms of Reference or if it fails to


achieve the minimum technical score indicated in the Data Sheet.

PUBLIC OPENING AND EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL PROPOSALS; RANKING


5.4

After the evaluation of quality is completed, the Client shall notify those consultants
whose proposals did not meet the minimum qualifying mark or were considered nonresponsive to the RFP and Terms of Reference, indicating that their Financial Proposals
will be returned unopened after completing the selection process. The Client shall
simultaneously notify the consultants that have secured the minimum qualifying mark,
indicating the date and time set for opening the Financial Proposals. The opening date
shall not be sooner than one week after the notification date. The notification may be
sent by registered letter, cable, telex, facsimile, or electronic mail.

5.5

The Financial Proposals shall be opened publicly in the presence of the consultants'
representatives who choose to attend. The name of the consultant, the quality scores,
and the proposed prices shall be read aloud and recorded when the Financial
Proposals are opened. The Client shall prepare minutes of the public opening.

5.6

The evaluation committee will determine whether the Financial Proposals are complete,
(i.e., whether they have costed all items of the corresponding Technical Proposals, if
not, the Client will cost them and add their cost to the initial price), correct any
computational errors.

5.7

The Client will select the lowest proposal ('evaluated' price). The selected Consultant
will be invited for negotiations.

6.
6.1

NEGOTIATIONS

Negotiations will be held at the address indicated in the Data Sheet. The aim is to
reach agreement on all points and sign a contract.

6.2

Negotiations will include a discussion of the Technical Proposal, the proposed


methodology (work plan), staffing and any suggestions made by the firm to improve
the Terms of Reference. The Client and Consultant will then work out final Terms of

11

Reference, staffing, and bar charts indicating activities, staff, periods in the field and
in the home office, staff-months, logistics, and reporting. The agreed work plan and
final Terms of Reference will then be incorporated in the "Description of Services" and
form part of the contract. Special attention will be paid to getting the most the
Consultant can offer within the available budget and to clearly defining the inputs
required from the Client to ensure satisfactory implementation of the Assignment.
6.3

Unless there are exceptional reasons, the financial negotiations will involve neither the
remuneration rates for staff (no breakdown of fees) nor other proposed unit rates.

6.4

Having selected the Consultant on the basis of, among other things, an evaluation of
proposed key professional staff, the Client expects to negotiate a contract on the basis
of the experts named in the Proposal. Before contract negotiations, the Client will
require assurances that the experts will be actually available. The Client will not
consider substitutions during contract negotiations unless both parties agree that undue
delay in the selection process makes such substitution unavoidable or that such changes
are critical to meet the objectives of the assignment. If this is not the case and if it is
established that key staff was offered in the proposal without confirming their
availability, the Consultant may be disqualified.

6.5

The negotiations will conclude with a review of the draft form of the contract. To
complete negotiations the Client and the Consultant will initial the agreed contract. If
negotiations fail, the Client will invite the firm who has quoted the second lowest price
for negotiations. The process will be repeated till an agreed contract is concluded.

7.
7.1

AWARD OF CONTRACT

The contract will be awarded following negotiations. After negotiations are completed,
the Client will promptly notify other consultants on the shortlist that they were
unsuccessful and return the Financial Proposals of those consultants who did not pass
the technical evaluation (para 5.3)

7.2

The Consultant is expected to commence the Assignment on the date and at the
location specified in the Data Sheet.

12

8.
8.1

2.

Performance High Lights of KSIIDC for the last 3 years:

2.1

KSIIDC was a profit making Company for almost three decades of its existence and
has contributed significantly to the industrial development of the State.

Due to

changing market forces and ushering of economic liberalization (which brought about
severe competition in the financial market), the operations of KSIIDC suffered in the
last few years, as it did not have access to low cost funds.
2.2

The operations of KSIIDC therefore resulted in losses from 1999-2000 onwards.

Due

to the timely corrective measures and initiatives taken for the revival, the financial
performance of the year 2006-07 witnessed a turn around. KSIIDC has since been
posting cash profits including in the year ended on 31.3.2010.

However, the

accumulated losses carried forward by KSIIDC stood at Rs.416.93 crores (provisional)


as on 31.03.2010.

Performance Highlights for FY 2010-11:


KSIIDC is estimated to achieve profit before interest and depreciation (cash profit) of
Rs.18.69 crores (provisional) during the year.

Disbursement of Rs.3.25 crores towards equity investment in KAPL / KITVEN.

41

KSIIDC did not avail any financial assistance from any source.

Recovery of loans was on expected levels during the first half of FY 2010 and
mellowed during the later part on account of difficult market / financial conditions.
A major portion of the recovery was on account of receipts against One Time
Settlement (OTS).

Allotment of Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS) to IDBI & SIDBI has
been completed during the year. With this, the total CRPS amount allotted (including
interest component) is Rs.197.63 crs which has to be redeemed in three tranches, at
the end of FY 2012, 2013 & 2014.
The interest commitments to IDBI and SIDBI against the negotiated settlement were
paid in time during the current year.
KSIIDC has fully utilized the funds earmarked by the Government for servicing of the
HUDCO loan and for investment in the equity capital of BIAL. Also, KSIIDC has acted
as a pass through agent for routing state support for the airport project, fencing the
DBP land and for procurement of land for trumpet interchange.
4.
